The Quick Brown Fox Posted 5 March 2020 Share Posted 5 March 2020 2 hours ago, StanSP said: I think they'll employ same tactics as the first leg draw in EFL Cup. They'll see it got them a point then and will be confident of getting another again. I hope we play 2 up top. Against a defensive side, like Birmingham last night, we saw how difficult it is to break teams down who sit back but also when we only play one striker alone. Would be tempted to go three at the back - Evans, Soyuncu, Fuchs/Bennett? Pereira & Chilwell on wings. Ndidi, Maddison and Tielemans in the middle. Vardy and Kelechi up top. Villa are lucky bastards if they're picking points up in the cup! Sorry couldn't resist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest An Sionnach Posted 5 March 2020 Share Posted 5 March 2020 For me its an either or situation with Maddison and Tielemans , both want to be playmaker and its not working , the greater industry of Praet gives more options in midfield . Three at the back helps Chilwell and if we want him to recover his form for me its the only way to go . When Vardy plays Barnes is his best partner likewise with Iheanacho , Perez is his best partner. So its 3-5-2 for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poznan34 Posted 5 March 2020 Share Posted 5 March 2020 There's something to be said for Iheanacho and Vardy upfront together as Villa will no doubt park the bus like the first leg of the semi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammo Posted 5 March 2020 Share Posted 5 March 2020 3-4-1-2 please, Brendan, as below. You know it makes sense. Schmeichel Morgan or Bennett, Evans, Soyuncu Ricardo, Ndidi, Praet, Chilwell or Fuchs Maddison or Tielemans Vardy, Iheanacho That’s everyone in positions where they should be at their most comfortable and effective. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lako42 Posted 5 March 2020 Share Posted 5 March 2020 Will the crowd actually get involved again now that there is a bit jeopardy to the games? It's been ****ing miserable down there all season because we've had a massive points cushion.

Ted Maul Posted 5 March 2020 Share Posted 5 March 2020 Huge game. Lose this and we probably won't recover. Team needs shaking up a bit, we look completely out of ideas in the current system: Schmeichel Cags Evans Bennett Chilwell Praet Ndidi Tielemans Ricardo Perez Vardy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoustonFox Posted 5 March 2020 Share Posted 5 March 2020 Nacho has to play, he’s scored every time he’s played them this season. Him up top with Vardy is a must. This is Madders’ final warning game before giving him a rest from the starting line up too. Stick him at the tip of the diamond and say “you’re playing 10 not 6, if I see you standing next to Soyuncu again you’re off”. Praet (must start), Youri and Wilf are rest of midfield. Praet on right to help watch Peaky Blinders Jack, but mainly as he’s been ace and his energy and box to box style makes him a must pick. Usual back 4 and Kasper in goal razzing them up from the back. Just stick the 1-4 tape on repeat and remind them how to play, please Brendan. None of this crappy wing play with crosses to no one, no Maddison dropping deep when 3 other midfielders can get the ball. I want to see players show for it and move if they haven’t got the ball. Vardy, Kels and Madders need to be close together and linking, with Dennis being a menace with runs from deep and the fulls backs providing width.

He's the player we thought Tielemans was going to be, and the player that the media seems to think Maddison is. Should start every game IMO. He’s a good little player, a solid 7/10 most weeks but is he really ‘phenomenal’? Not sure about that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leicesterseddon Posted 5 March 2020 Share Posted 5 March 2020 Probably going to be a shit game. Just need to get the points. Hope BR has a plan, another performance like last night won’t do it. Surely he’s got to go for two up front? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa have 11pts from 10 games going back to boxing day. Admittedly, that's pretty poor but slightly better than us and in terms of performance I just see more fight in Villa than us. Also, they have beaten us and drawn with us over two games during that run. I'm not confident, I think we need to find a way to scrap a win. I really can't explain how a team that was ripping up the PL until Christmas should now look so toothless and passive.
