Anglodanglo Posted 28 June 2020 Share Posted 28 June 2020 2 minutes ago, SixtiesFox said: An FA cup win would have been a sentimental choice but the big prize is still on the table. Only by getting Champions League football can we hope to build towards challenging the top 6 consistently. Arguably losing to Chelsea, however disappointing, could provide us with a better opportunity to clinch a top 4 finish from here. Another game against Man U and then a final against Man City would not have helped our cause in the league. If we can somehow get a win at Everton then we are back in the box seat with 6 games to play and the quarter final defeat will be well and truly forgotten. Our recruitment in the summer will be very different if we've secured a Champions League spot. Only with more quality and greater squad depth can we progress from where we are now. Poor as our form has been since Christmas these remaining few games will likely be the best shot we are ever going to get. Just look at the way Chelsea, with all their current resources, are already retooling for next year. We have punched well above our weight this season and we are still in with a punchers chance in the final round. Come on Brendan and the lads, pick yourselves off the canvas and give it everything you've got!

Mickyblueeyes Posted 28 June 2020 Share Posted 28 June 2020 I don’t want to watch the game. I’ve noticed I’m really stressed on Leicester game days and just don’t enjoy watching the games because I just don’t want to watch a crap performance. Forget the result, these performances irk me. Ok, go down but go down fighting for **** sake. I will watch it and I will be stressed because I support this stupid ****ing club (I’m allowed to say that as are all of you) and I will continue to watch them. However, my enjoyment for watching them is as low as in Ranieri’s last few months as a recent example. It hurts. Other then that, I hope Praet starts. He looked good and composed for us. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Posted 28 June 2020 Share Posted 28 June 2020 Kasper Justin Chilwell Evans Soyuncu Ndidi Praet Tielemans Gray Vardy Perez We are in desperate need of a win and don’t have great depth to change too much. I’d love to see us go 4-4-2 with Iheanacho partnering Vardy up front, a midfield 2 of Wilf and Praet, Perez and Gray out wide. But that’s unlikely to happen for me. Another unlikely scenario I’d like to see is 3 at the back looking like Kasper Bennett Evans Soyuncu Justin Chilwell Tielemans Wilf Praet Vardy Iheanacho. That way, Chilwell and Justin won’t have to focus that much on defending and will provide width. Barnes has been absolutely terrible, Gray has been better. Something needs to change or we need a goal that goes in off someone’s arse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunbury Fox Posted 28 June 2020 Share Posted 28 June 2020 Wondering whether we try a diamond midfield if Maddison is fit, given that our wingers are all so out of form and Everton play 442. Wilf holding, Praet and Youri as number 8s and Maddison as a 10 behind Vardy and Nacho? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending how things go we can stretch the game out in the 2nd half with Gray and Barnes pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perez upfront with Vardy or Nacho. Praet deserves a run in the team, he just needs playing time or why did we bother to sign him. Tielemanns is going to become an issue and by Christmas could be in the situation he had with Monaco. What ever it is, it's all in his head and he needs to sort it out, otherwise he will continue to yo yo through the rest of his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tickler28 Posted 28 June 2020 Share Posted 28 June 2020 Does anyone think if the players could read messages of support that could help them? Just a random idea...I know it's a little last ditch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shailen Posted 28 June 2020 Share Posted 28 June 2020 I'd go 3-5-2. Kasper Morgan Evans Soyuncu Albrighton Tielemans N'didi Maddison Chilwell Vardy Nacho I'm not really a fan of Justin right now, he doesn't have a great first touch, loses the ball a bit too much and seems short of ideas. Vardy needs more help and playing nacho with him will help him as they tend to link quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted 28 June 2020 Share Posted 28 June 2020 Do you know what, I’d take a point if it meant I watched us create a chance. 3 games in and I’ve not one time thought ‘he’s got to score!’ it’s so bad all I want is a chance 🤣🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanSP Posted 28 June 2020 Share Posted 28 June 2020 Kasper Justin - Soyuncu - Evans - Fuchs Ndidi Tielemans - Praet Gray - Vardy - Barnes Start strong and attack from the off. Gotta be assertive and take initiative of the match. Can't be slow and laboured as that will suit Everton too much to take control over us. Hopefully Maddison is back for the weekend game but our lack of depth in the squad really hits us at times like this with games every 3-4 days.

Ross 'LCFC' Turner Posted 28 June 2020 Share Posted 28 June 2020 (edited) Just try something new it can’t get any worse! Kasper Justin Evans Soyuncu Chillwell Ndidi Praet Tielemans Perez Vardy Kelechi Bring back the diamond that worked so well at Villa. Our full backs are athletic enough to provide the width, our wingers just aren’t good enough. Edited 28 June 2020 by Ross 'LCFC' Turner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza M Posted 28 June 2020 Share Posted 28 June 2020 For goodness sake Brendan, please shake it up and try something else. Every man and his dog know how we are going to set up and play. Just do something else!!! I would actually play our captain for a game and see if he can inspire a bit. Go 3-5-2 but use Albrighton and be more direct from wide areas and get bloomin bodies in the box. I would rest a few who have played so far. Kasper Bennett Morgan Soyuncu Albrighton Ndidi Chilwell Praet Tielemans Iheanacho Vardy Subs: The rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wymsey Posted 28 June 2020 Share Posted 28 June 2020 (edited) They seem, and have been for a good while (despite their player investment fees over the years), to be a topsy-turvy side - who have decent players but are too inconsistent and you don't know what you'll get with them (even with Ancelotti in charge). Think this is a critical gane, now, and therefore should strongly go for it. 4-3-1-2 (Maddison or Perez in the 1 position behind Vardy and Iheanacho). Think Albrighton should be given the nod ahead of Barnes out wide, due to his superior experience in playing in 'key' games. If we're drawing/losing at half-time, sub him and put Barnes or Gray on.
