Give it a go, it's not impossible! 😱😂 The biggest up side is that we can't say we weren't forced to prepare ourselves with both injuries and that nasty first half against arsenal. Question is do we get the man city first half, or arsenal. I do feel calmer and more prepared for it this time though. Win this and we'll be talking about our excellent strength in depth and tactical genius in charge 🤐 (we will win it!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickyblueeyes Posted 2 November 2020 Share Posted 2 November 2020 Albrighton, Praet, Youri and Thomas. All capable of quick, accurate balls over the top. Vards and Barnes. Both with ice to burn. Soak it up and counter - we are going to win this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albrighton better at tracking back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a "tactics aficionado" you should know you defend collectively as a team, you don't play three, four or five defenders you play eleven. Defending isn't only what personnel are on the pitch it's the entire way you approach the match, it's how you set your shape, it's where the space is, it's how you press, it's how familiar the squad is with operating how you envisage. If we keep trying to park the bus and invite pressure with a "back five" that's made up of four full backs, a nitneen year old and a winger we're going to be inviting danger. Maddison and Under playing in a 4231 with Mendy and Tielemans shielding the back four not only gives you the protection to cover a centre back pairing of Morgan and the kid it also gives you the presence in the midfield and further up the pitch to actually retain possession and minimise their opportunities by doing so. Moreover, a typical 4231 set up to play "tiki taka" has typically worked defensively because of the even distribution of players all round the pitch ready to press and win it back. Like I said, I absolutely think it could work, I absolutely think we can probably shut Leeds out and get away with fluking a Vardy win on the counter, especially if Barnes is up for it. We might win this and Rodgers will be celebrated as a genius again (while this forum continues to call Nuno a flukey fraud) but its definitely not the only choice we have and I don't begrudge anyone being disappointed by it. 4 first choice defenders out injured along with Ndidi Two games in a week with one against the biggest rivals in our European group Tactics proven to have worked away from home twice already this season Leeds have covered the most distance of any team in the league so far. Playing the pressing game against them with such a depleted squad is 100% not the way to go, and you know it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanolegend1989 Posted 2 November 2020 Share Posted 2 November 2020 With that team we’re going to be smashed. Boring watch of us defending and wishing the clock down hoping we somehow knick a counter attack, If Leeds score first turn the lights out. Leeds will run us ragged I think.

murphy Posted 2 November 2020 Share Posted 2 November 2020 Imagine more injuries in defence. Who would it be after Wes (assuming he is actually fit). It seems like we are a hair's breadth away from playing Slim at CB. Let's go easy on them tonight. This team is absolutely decimated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
