Whatever set up, Iheanacho has to be on the pitch at the start, he can pick the ball up deeper and make things work better than Vardy can at the moment. Maddison needs to create as a 10, even a false 9, without the defence element of an 8, which is a worry if he's still injured. The 3 at the back call sounds stronger than ever as Justin showed he's not showing the confidence for this type of pressure yet. Schmeichel Evans Soyuncu Fuchs Choudhury Ndidi Tielemans Chilwell Maddison Perez Ihenacho If Maddison can't start; Schmeichel Evans Soyuncu Fuchs Choudhury Ndidi Tielemans Chilwell Perez Barnes Ihenacho At this point of the season, and for what's at stake, we really should not have to be introducing radical new set up's as we are suggesting, but that's where we are. I've still got faith in Rodgers, but he's got to work it out now and justify that faith. CL qualification is not over and I do still think we'll do it, but I'm sure Brendan understands what his realistic achievements are for this season, but to at least end the season with some wins will ease the pressure. email these lineups to the club they radical and thats what makes me like them, we need a radical change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schmeichel Evans - Soyuncu - Fuchs Justin - Tielemans - Ndidi - Chilwell Maddison Iheanacho - Perez Vardy will probably start but I think he needs a game out. Iheanacho and Perez worked against West Ham & Newcastle away, as something desperately needs to change, I’d like to see their partnership again. I started typing my reply out before clicking past the first page - glad I did as I was going to post the exact same team and formation (apart from Praet for Youri, but either works). Let Justin/Chilwell focus on attack without having to cover at the back as well (that's what cost us the first goal yesterday), Vardy has been anonymous and needs dropping, as does Barnes and Albrighton. Perez prefers to play centrally and Iheanacho has looked good whenever he's came on, so I'd like to see them together again. Even Gray could get a shout as he's at least tried to make things happen the last few games. I'd prefer a wingback giving the width rather than an out-and-out winger just for a bit extra security, but I wouldn't be opposed to him taking that spot instead. Something needs to drastically change and quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest An Sionnach Posted 2 July 2020 Share Posted 2 July 2020 If Vardy stops scoring we were always going to struggle . Opposition defences have lost their constant worry about him and do not rate our goal threat . I can barely see anyway we can score more than one goal in a match if he is not contributing.

Ricey Posted 2 July 2020 Share Posted 2 July 2020 Vital that we start this game well. Palace will know that and will deploy the lowest of blocks from the off. A lot of people wanting three at the back, but with Palace'a counter attacking threat it will often turn into a back 5 and it will be Villa at home in Cup all over again. Schmeichel Justin Evans Soyuncu Fuchs Ndidi Tielemans Perez Praet Maddison Iheanacho I'm a hypocrite for putting Maddison out wide, but normally when we do that we don't pick anyone else in his place as a No.10 and I think it's that which causes us to be ineffective. I just think we'll need the width but Albrighton, Gray and Barnes just aren't up to it at the minute. We know Palace will force us out wide and I can't bear to watch another 90 minutes of Justin and Chilwell swinging in ineffective crosses. That midfield 5 of Perez, Praet, Maddison, Tielemans and Ndidi have the potential to keep the ball and move it around quickly. That'll be vital on Saturday, especially early on. Fuchs is a better passer, better in the final third and better from set-pieces compared to Chilwell, which again will be vital on Saturday. Bit concerned about Palace's pacey wingers against Fuchs, but it's a risk worth taking. Go infront, hold on to it and then bring Vardy on for the final 30 minutes to hit them on the counter.

Nicolo Barella Posted 2 July 2020 Share Posted 2 July 2020 A narrow formation and Zaha/van Aanholt will destroy Justin. It has to be a 4-3-3 with a winger to cover for him. The 4-3-3 has been very static though. My tentative solution is Iheanacho starting. Hopefully he can provide us with the dynamism we are lacking at the moment.

AKCJ Posted 2 July 2020 Share Posted 2 July 2020 If Maddison is injured then I think a classic 4-4-2 would be best. Kasper Justin Evans Soyuncu Chilwell Albrighton Tielemans Ndidi Barnes Iheanacho Vardy Swap Tielemans for Praet when he tires. It's weird how - when you make up these team sheets - everything seems so weak now.

We can play them off the park , not score and get mugged in the 85th minute. Hopefully we can get through this season and achieve 4th or 5th but the lack of a proven partner for Vardy must be sorted for next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus Scott Posted 2 July 2020 Share Posted 2 July 2020 I think 3 at the back is best, if only because we do not have a decent fight back. Justin, Barnes & Albrighton should all definitely be dropped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urban fox Posted 2 July 2020 Share Posted 2 July 2020 Personally i would go with the diamond Kasper JJ Evans Soy Chilwell NdidI Tielemens Praet Maddison Vardy Nacho This lets YT get further up the pitch and play with more freedom, Maddison just behind the strikers in a no 10 role where he seems the most effective. Nacho will come deeper for the ball, and we saw at Everton is not afraid to run at defences, this will give Vardy more space and hopefully bring him into the game more. Full backs can provide the width (Chilwell looks much better when he is operating down the left on his own) with Wilf and Dennis providing cover where needed. If Maddison not fit then i would give Perez a go sitting behind the front two. My only concern is that as much as i like the lad and think he shows promise JJ is still very inexperienced at this level and Zaha could rip him a new one. Brendan will be looking at this also and i fear he may stick with Albrighton as extra cover. Again as much as i like Marc this would unbalance the team and mean sacrificing either the second striker of one of the midfield meaning YT would end up dropping deeper again. Whilst Zaha is obviously their biggest threat we should go for it and play to our strengths and not set up merely to counter theirs. Wilf may have to sit just a little deeper, drop into the CB position so that Evans can go across and help JJ out when they counter. Hodgeson is no mug and he will have pinpointed that the right hand side is our weakness at the minute so it will be imperative that we keep up a high press from our forwards, YT and DP to keep Zaha penned in. If its not working and we need to change things around then for me we bring in Gray on the right and Albrighton on the left 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get to know players more, especially the new ones such as Perez and Praet we know what they're about now, basically steady eddy's. Justin unfortunately is struggling, but I liked what I saw of him on the left, which is the position he's played most in the last few years of his career.

MonmoreStef Posted 2 July 2020 Share Posted 2 July 2020 Nacho will be unlucky not to start. However, as lacklustre as Vardy as looked he’s still the man you want a clear cut chance to fall to and you want him on the pitch. That second chance Nacho had where he mis hit with his right foot is most likely in the net had that been Vardy. It’s a case of how we get both players on the pitch. I wouldn’t be against Vardy going back into his Pearson role of a wide attacking player with Nacho the out and out striker. Yes I know he’s a number 9 and all that but I think he’d better in that role that Nacho would be and it keeps him on the pitch. Also it would totally catch Palace off guard first twenty mins. I’d rather Vardy playing that role than one or two of the options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeg67 Posted 2 July 2020 Share Posted 2 July 2020 Iheanacho as a lone striker seems like the least worst option at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
