steveherbe Posted 19 January 2020 Posted 19 January 2020 Praying for two foot of snow so it gets postponed. Or Schlupp earns a penalty and Ulloa buries it, what are the chances for either?
Guesty Posted 19 January 2020 Posted 19 January 2020 I'd maybe consider a 3-5-2 to give Vardy some help up top and change things up a bit. Tell Chilwell and Ricardo they have free reign to go forward. Kasper Soyuncu Evans Fuchs Ricardo Tielemans Hamza/Praet Chilwell Maddison Iheanacho Vardy
Dan Posted 20 January 2020 Posted 20 January 2020 Not got a jot of confidence for this, sadly. 1-2 again.
TheLittleBigMan Posted 20 January 2020 Posted 20 January 2020 Can't believe we're 3rd in the premier league. Worst leicester team i've ever supported. Can't see another win this season. We are dog sh*t.
Stephen Hughes Posted 20 January 2020 Posted 20 January 2020 Could we try Justin at RB and Ricardo RW? Looks like Justin can do a decent enough job and out wingers are the position that we need more from.
Dan Posted 20 January 2020 Posted 20 January 2020 Christ, thinking about this and I am seriously struggling to know what I'd do team-wise. I think Iheanacho deserves a start though. We have to get him in. He's been our biggest threat for the last two months and I'm not joking.

Because he has been showing plenty of desire and he rarely gives up. If all of our players were like him, we'd be in a different position right now.

Kasper Soyuncu Evans Fuchs Ricardo Tielemans Hamza/Praet Chilwell Maddison Iheanacho Vardy Think we've learned that that formation isn't working for us. In particular look at Chilwells last performance. He has pace and runs from deep but in that advanced position he doesn't/can't take anyone one on and just passes back and slows things down. Fuchs is a liability at centre half and always has been, gave two goals away in champions league by losing his man and hasn't improved either.

Looks like Justin can do a decent enough job and out wingers are the position that we need more from. Ricardo best coming from deep. Has been tried on the wing and is poor overall (which is why he was possibly converted to a fullback). The answer in the short term is to put Gray or Albrighton in front of him. Gray may have influenced things a bit more yesterday rather than bringing an out of form Tielemans on. I think he and Nacho would have given them more to think about.
Katy Posted 20 January 2020 Posted 20 January 2020 We are bound to be edgy after Sunday but whatever is occurring on the pitch, for the love of God let’s get behind them! The atmosphere is getting toxic again and it’s counter-productive. Then, before we know it, it’ll be like it was when Puel was here. As for the team, no idea at this point. Glad I’m not Brendan.

Cheers mate. > 3rd in the league, within 3 points of a Man City team most teams in the world are in awe of, in the semi finals of the league cup and still in the FA cup and you're saying I have low standards? I'm a realist. These last 2 game are the type of games we've seen ourselves lose in the last few seasons, and for the most part under Rodgers this season we've won. I admitted our performances have been far from great recently and we look low on confidence now, but the performances of those below us haven't exactly been that great either which is why in spite the recent result we've still got an 11 point buffer for a Champions.League spot. Are you telling me that finishing with European football makes for a bad season? Subscribing to low standards? Every team, bar Liverpool, has gone through bad patches this season. Man City have just drawn at home with Palace and lost to Norwich. We laughed back in 2015/16 when Tottenham players imploded, and everyone was saying they are a young team feeling the pressure. We've got a very young team, and one that in the first half the season did very well, but Rodger isn't afraid to drop some from the squad completely to try to keep them from becoming complacent. He can see the rot and is acting on it. And while I continue to agree our performances have been disappointing of late, I'm not going to subscribe to the doom and gloom of most on here while, when we look at the bigger picture and see our season overall hasn't been too bad really. 2015/16 aside (is that when you started supporting us?) I'd say this has been a fantastic season so far.

Totally agree with that sentiment, though Rodgers could probably help the situation by picking his most in form players if fit and play them in positions that they're best suited to and confident in.

Dahnsouff Posted 20 January 2020 Posted 20 January 2020 Despite my grumbling around Sunday's game (Where rather than trying for impossible shots I suggested Maddison should seek the pass, he was actually probably trying to get everyone up and moving) He probably should sit this out, but just to give him rest. Barnes as 10, Gray on the wing. (gulp)

Such as what? As far as I can see over the past 5/6 games we’ve tried numerous combinations, all the kind of things people on here wanted to see and none of them worked. eg play Hamza - did, went badly. Play Mendy - did, went badly. Play 352 - did, went badly etc What are you advocating that we haven’t already tried?
Pliskin Posted 20 January 2020 Posted 20 January 2020 May as well try something completely different. -------------------------Vardy ----------------------Maddison Chilwell --------Preat-----Youri--------Ricardo -------------Fuchs----Evans------Cags ------------------------Kasper Bit like an X-wing formation?

However, for example, I wouldn't persist with the ineffectual Perez out on the right, its utterly pointless, whereas Gray has had an effect when he's come on and played there. Hopefully Choudhury will be back and Iheanacho appears untouched by this spread of malaise and is busting a gut to prove himself.
Guest Cujek Posted 20 January 2020 Posted 20 January 2020 A genuine must win. But not only a must win, a must win with absolute dominance. This lot need to show they are still up for it imo.
volpeazzurro Posted 20 January 2020 Posted 20 January 2020 37 minutes ago, Dahnsouff said: Is this a suggestion Brendan should drop Perez in favour of Nacho? Or you feel there is more? Partly. Yes Perez definitely out, utterly pointless out wide, for me he's only being picked on price tag and the fact he's a Rodgers buy. Gray in his odd short cameos has offered more in a few minutes than Perez all game. Iheanacho too I believe also fits that mould. Had Albrighton been given half the game time Perez has had he may well have adapted to the system and certainly offers more defensive stability. I'm sure if Rodgers sticks Maddison out on the left again it will just confirm a crass predilection for stubbornness. Iheanacho behind Vardy with Gray on the right and Albrighton on the left may be worth a try. 3 players gagging to impress that are unburdened with a lack of confidence.

foxfanazer Posted 20 January 2020 Posted 20 January 2020 We'll win this. The quality is there, we know that. Hopefully Brendan has an idea of what is wrong at the moment whether that be a drop in confidence or fitness levels etc. It's on him to sort it out
KrefelderFox666 Posted 20 January 2020 Posted 20 January 2020 Must start Nacho for this, we look a lot more lively. Drop him in for Perez. Choudhury back in for Mendy. Other than that, same team.
