I actually don’t mind this suggestion: Except I would keep Vardy and have Perez on the bench and perhaps I would have Tielemans instead of Hamza. We'd get slaughtered down the flanks in that system without proper wing-backs. Fuchs and Soyuncu would have no protection against Zaha and Townsend.

We do need Barnes to track back and Albrighton to almost play wingback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least he whips crosses in and early and adds variety; better than just sideway or backward passes and then eventually losing the ball with not even having gone into the final third. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffschlupp Posted 3 July 2020 Share Posted 3 July 2020 Not sure if this is a 'yer da' opinion like the Chilwell-Barkley laughing thing, but just look at the gallery of training photos that the club have posted today ahead of this game. You've not won in 4 winnable games, 3 league games against crap sides, you went 2-0 down after 15 against Everton, and today every single player appears to be smiling as though we've just won the league. Is it just me or do this group of players just not get it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

volpeazzurro Posted 3 July 2020 Share Posted 3 July 2020 I think if we buckle down we can still get into Europe. Against Palace, we are still a team in 3rd place and need to start fast and attack from the start with an attacking line up. We are not in the relegation zone fighting for a point and these conservative, defensive team selections and slow probing starts need to be stopped. Having said that is it worth starting Iheanacho and bringing Vardy on in the second half? If Vardy does start he needs to stop this energy conservation nonsense Rodgers has instructed him to do and terrorise and hassle defences which is what he's best at. If he can only last 60 minutes so be it. Vardy needs as much coaching from Rodgers as Suarez did which is bugger all, they both know their jobs despite him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just me or do this group of players just not get it? You are just twisting it to suit your agenda. If we spank Palace at the weekend the other argument will be that our team bond brought us through it. Why would the club post photos of them looking dejected / angry ? And if you were having a couple of down months at work would you not be allowed to still have some banter with your colleagues or are you not allowed to enjoy anything until you improve? Reading far too much into it, you can’t really tell anything from a couple of still images than can easily be cherry picked to show any agenda 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been plenty of more of it e.g. 'we shouldn't play Ndidi and Mendy together at home', which from my point of view is the equivalent of 'you shouldn't punch yourself in the nuts in TK Maxx' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the players their routing at home will be similar. I imagine away games are an absolute pig at the moment as you are encouraged to travel the same day.

Why risk exacerbating his injury, which could leave him out for months, in a game where, we were struggling to get a foothold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest An Sionnach Posted 3 July 2020 Share Posted 3 July 2020 If Harvey Barnes is a "winger" then I'm from Pluto . He is a striker , let him play there , he could still do double figures this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
