RowlattsFox Posted 13 July 2020 Posted 13 July 2020 The Bournemouth game in isolation could be laughed off as anomaly in which everything that could go wrong did, Every mistake punished, deflections, own goals, red cards and "one of those nights" but it's a combination of poor performances over a long period which hopefully have led to last night and then we can respond and move forward. It's going to be a battle, and it's got the making s of everything we don't like. Probably a good thing it's behind closed doors too, place would be toxic. 2
woznotwos Posted 13 July 2020 Posted 13 July 2020 We will see the cut of our players in there response after this. 2-1 Leicester!! 1
Hales Posted 13 July 2020 Posted 13 July 2020 Let's hope they "do a southampton" and sort their shite out! I'm worried though - the injury list....... 1
danny2997 Posted 13 July 2020 Posted 13 July 2020 (edited) While it's still possible, I'm gonna continue believing we'll get top 4. Probably just delaying my disappointment though. I think Man United are pretty nailed on at this point so hopefully we manage to outdo Chelsea in the last few. Edited 13 July 2020 by danny2997
reynard Posted 13 July 2020 Posted 13 July 2020 Nailed on defeat I'm afraid.We've folded completely and utterly. Spineless performances from the payers and management and now shown for the complete lack of quality in depth in the squad. We've been flat track bullies most of the season but when the chips are down and we've needed to roll up our sleeves we've gone missing. I don't believe these players have the courage to do what is required any longer. 2-0 to Sheffield United. Another team that will simply want it more than we will. 1 1
Wolfox Posted 13 July 2020 Posted 13 July 2020 Anyone who questions the merits of football/ sport psychology just needs to skim read this thread The way this season will pan feels inevitable doesn’t it?
TeaMen Tom Posted 13 July 2020 Posted 13 July 2020 A team that's tough minded and committed to defending. Just what this soft squad doesn't need to see right now.
RoboFox Posted 13 July 2020 Posted 13 July 2020 I’m going to watch it because I’m a sinner and I need to be punished. 1

Thing is we're endlessly told people need to get the players backs. Well there is no-one there to get on the players backs, the pressure is quite literally off, go and play our game. Perhaps they need that drive afterall.
Grebfromgrebland Posted 13 July 2020 Posted 13 July 2020 (edited) Central defence looks scarily shit when we lose 1 center back! However I feel like we've hit rock bottom and now the only way is up (baby). Maybe Bennett and Evans together, 2 experienced heads might be good. Edited 13 July 2020 by Grebfromgrebland

To be honest, better than saying 'our season is done, we don't feel the best for our final 3 games and we'll see what we can do, but it won't be great'
Foxes96 Posted 13 July 2020 Posted 13 July 2020 Don’t even know what to do after yesterday but something has to change back to 4-3-3 for me. Hope madders and Chilwell are back for this but not convinced given they didn’t even make the bench so if not would go for Fuchs and Choudhury at least he’ll give us some passion and bite. Would also bring Morgan in not convinced by either him or Bennett but feel like we need Morgan’s leadership now. Realise it’s harsh on Iheanacho but not sure how we squeeze him in without going 442 and not sure we have the players to play 3 at the back with all the injuries and suspensions. Barnes - Vardy - Pérez Maddison - Ndidi - Tielemans Chilwell - Evans - Morgan - Justin Kasper
StanSP Posted 13 July 2020 Posted 13 July 2020 Maybe go back to some kind of basics i.e. what we played for most of the season? Kasper Justin - Morgan - Evans - Fuchs Ndidi Gray - Tielemans - Praet - Barnes Vardy As the poster above says, it would be harsh on Kelechi but let's face it, I can't imagine Rodgers picking him if the 3-5-2 isn't possible. Let Tielemans be the link to Vardy through the middle and utilise our wingers against their on-rushing full-backs. We have to somehow get round their tactics which is why I think he might go for 2 DMs to give protection either side. He might go Mendy to support Ndidi and just do a job of breaking up their attacks. It's at times like this though where our lack of depth is just so glaring and worrying. There's a few there to think it's just so bang average in terms of personnel. 1

Tielemans63 Posted 13 July 2020 Posted 13 July 2020 Big Wes won't let us down. Would much rather he played than Ryan Bennett. We need his leadership more than ever just now. 1

Blue-fox Posted 13 July 2020 Posted 13 July 2020 For me, Morgan has to play. I thought he should have came in a few games ago just for his leadership more than anything. 1

Neither are ideal but one is club captain and PL winner. Need his leadership big time. 1
