honeybradger Posted 5 January 2021 Share Posted 5 January 2021 4 hours ago, Yes said: Not sure where else to put this. Is it a cause for concern where we are? I think there are 3 mains ways to improve it. 1. Play Cengiz Under, he was quite creative for Roma and that's translated here with him having 2 league assists and a couple other chances created. With Barnes not really creating much at all this year we need a winger to create chances for Vardy. Albrighton is kind of doing it but his crossing doesnt work that well when we only have Vardy in the box, Under is more unpredictable and that will result in more chances coming vardy's way without the opposition cutting it out. 2. Play Tielemans further up the pitch. There's a lot of users on here complaining about maddison going too deep and him and tielemans getting in each other's way last year and Rodgers has counteracted that by going to a 4231 with Tielemans as a 6 and maddison as a 10. Personally i would like to see us return to the 4141 it really wasnt that bad and we created a lot more. 3. Injured players coming back to full fitness. Justin is good and all but Ricardo is a game changer for me, his line breaking runs will help us a lot with putting pressure on the opponents backline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aus Fox Posted 5 January 2021 Share Posted 5 January 2021 Pep on one hand complaining he has no players and they have been hit hard by Covid and on the other hand no punishment, not coming out and condemning the party boys in his squad who have no doubt caused this. If that we’re out players I’d happily release them from their contracts and look to bring in some replacements this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CosbehFox Posted 5 January 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 5 January 2021 Pep your owners have about seven clubs on their books. Windows open. Rather than using them as some farm / artificial market - fcuking loan players from there or recall some. Or maybe the money your club spends taking youngsters out of smaller clubs academies can actually be worth something and you start playing them 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambert09 Posted 5 January 2021 Share Posted 5 January 2021 The spurs win is probably good for us. 1 of our contenders for top 7 will will the cup and guarantee and extra EL place. Odd that I want a big club to win but I guess I’m selfish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any honours won in the 1800s and early 1900s (before WW1) are totally meaningless. I'd even go as far as only counting things won post-WW2 but that would offend a lot of football fans. Aston Villa are overrated as a supposed big club. 7 of their 8 league titles came before 1910. Villa can get in the ****ing bin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
