Sunday will be pass pass pass pass again then back to Kasper then pass to vardy to pass it back to kasper to pass to barnes to pass to Ndidi to pass to kasper to pass to JJ then pass to kasper for 94 mins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain... Posted 22 July 2020 Share Posted 22 July 2020 Being positive we've had a few days extra rest, they've just had 2 tough games and are relying on the same key players every game whereas Spurs just let us piss about with the ball for most of our last game. I guess it's a good thing United don't need to win, hopefully the draw is ok mindset might get into their heads. We know we need to win. Hopefully that all plays on our favour. I've done my bit, got Martial, Fernandes(c) and Greenwood in my fantasy team, the collective jinx if we all do it will be immense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxinsocks Posted 22 July 2020 Share Posted 22 July 2020 (edited) It's to late now... but I have been thinking about how players carry their losses or fear of mistakes from game to game. I remember Rio Ferdinand admitting that england players were terrified of being slated in the red tops... to a point where their creativity was impacted. The way out if this is mindfulness. Being able to focus on the job in hand without issues from the past or thoughts of the future clouding things. US marines find that by teaching mindfulness... marines are less likely to develop ptsd as they dont dwell in their emotions... . Fear guilt shame from some combat incident. Similarly US spevial forces use it to be able to make better decisions in high pressure situations. How often do we hear a manager say... we put this to bed and then go again. Salesmen know sales is a numbers game...if they fail today then go home..kick the dog and give it your best shot tomorrow. Yet this is easier for some than for others. This is coz we all have different levels of executive function and mindfulness. Imo minfulness could be a very important part of enabling football players to go into the next game without baggage from the past or choking about the future and what is at stake. (Within a game...it should allow players to move on from mistakes) I would love our club to try this. ...10 mins a day. Finally... as fans we want to carry the baggage from game to game. Think about how we felt in the great escape... and the prem winning year we want to spend all week biting our nails... so mindfulness...players yes... fans no. (Actually mindfulness is very effective at reducing problems like anxiety and depression...as good as meds but without the addictions.... and also allows people to attain flow.... students show less stress during exams and learn better) I use mbct.

That_Dude Posted 22 July 2020 Share Posted 22 July 2020 8 minutes ago, Bryn said: Really hard to know how to setup. We have to win but I don't think we can just play our normal game and expect to do so with so many players out. I think we have to try and stay compact and force United wide. I think we can manage to deal with balls into the box. They're dangerous in the penalty area both in terms of getting a shot off and also running at defenders and drawing a penalty so we really have to try and prevent them attacking the box. They're also threatening from range but I think you have to trust in Kasper to handle that. I expect we will play 3-4-3 again and against United I think this is probably our best bet. United use a fairly rigid double pivot and I'd like to see Vardy and whoever the other striker is, I'd go with Iheanacho, sit on Matic and Pogba. That lets Ndidi deal with Fernandes and means we don't need to play a second defensive midfielder, especially as Morgan likes to step out of the defensive line to close down. If we can throttle them in midfield and force the wide attackers to the touchline we might negate them. Then we would need to move the ball purposefully to try and get at their weak areas. Wan-Bissaka tends to sit tight to the centre backs so I don't think we'd get as much joy in that channel but Brandon Williams looks a weak link at left back and I'd really like to see dangerous balls played into that channel for Vardy and the third attacker (which has been Perez but I think maybe I'd play Gray) to chase. It's going be a tough one. The hobbit will come to counter, even more so now that he knows that he only needs a point. If we play like we did against Tottenham, we'll be murdered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerrrFox Posted 22 July 2020 Share Posted 22 July 2020 To beat United you have to press them as unit to force the mistake and play quickly on the counter attack. If we attack them without the ball we should hopefully have a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzy_Jeff Posted 22 July 2020 Share Posted 22 July 2020 Having watched them tonight and Sunday I think I’d go back to a back 4. Stick Choudhury in there with Ndidi and press Fernandes (who looks knackered) and Pogba. Play Tielemans, Perez and Barnes off Vardy and attack at pace when we have the chance. they are there for the taking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blanchflower78 Posted 22 July 2020 Share Posted 22 July 2020 Cup Final essentially Sunday. Play the 5-3 highlights for survival season to the players in changing room, with a rousing backing track.
