ian__marshall Posted 6 March 2021 Share Posted 6 March 2021 All over the shop at the back. Tavares looks exactly what he is, a kid playing mens football for the first time, and Vardy at top speed looks like he's running through treacle. Brighton are absolutely sh*thousing this performance. Got the goal, low block, then constantly committing the tactical foul the second we break which is stopping us building any rhythm. Other than change shape I honestly don't know what else we can do. Absolutely no options off the bench that could change this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the squad is so depleted at the moment then the only way I can see this working is Ricardo on the right, Albrighton on the left and Amartey at full back. Kel behind Vards. God knows what would work at the moment though. I would go 4231. Get Amartey and Nacho off and Thomas and Albrighton on. Keep Tavares on as the number 10, move Timmy to right back and Ric to the wing. We're wasting a player having 3 centre backs and not even looking at all solid. Of course there'll be no changes until about 65 minutes, I'm sure. Edited 6 March 2021 by Sunbury Fox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weller54 Posted 6 March 2021 Share Posted 6 March 2021 And to think we were looking forward to having the Soyuncu/Fofana partnership 😂😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oxtonfox Posted 6 March 2021 Share Posted 6 March 2021 We're in trouble here - they should be more than one up. We haven't threatened at all bar the Sidnei hit. We look devoid of ideas, again and there's little or no inspiration except from Ricardo on occasions. We just look vulnerable all over. I think it will be 3-0 to Brighton by the end unless we shake it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't look right with the current formation, Amartey stands out hugely as somebody who is inferior to the rest on the ball. Defence looks all over the place. Tavares has shown some neat touches and a great shot, Iheanacho has dropped deep and played a couple of good passes. Apart from that, not a lot to be positive about. I think he’s the weakest technically but he’s the one that I’m least worried about currently. Soyuncu looks like we’re playing a forward in defence as part of a back three.

peach0000 Posted 6 March 2021 Share Posted 6 March 2021 Just now, StanSP said: Not scapegoat. He is detrimental to any style of play we have. Just his limitations. Not saying he’s been amazing just questioning the focus on him rather than soyuncu and less so fofana. Those two have been shocking. Amatey hasn’t been quite as bad.

Typhoeus Posted 6 March 2021 Share Posted 6 March 2021 For some reason with a back three we seem to lose goals directly through the middle. Fofana asleep for the goal. Second half will likely be better, needs albrighton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're brilliant at it. To be honest, we’ve been doing that for weeks. Really grinds my gears, because it can never lead to anything but trouble.

We just don't look much of a threat when we play 3 at the back. Our CBs play the ball among themselves and seem to be hoping for gaps in the opposition midfield that never comes. We look much stronger going forward with 2 players on each flank and our central midfielders having more space as the opposition stretches to cover the extra wider players.

Livid Posted 6 March 2021 Share Posted 6 March 2021 1 minute ago, MarshallForEngland said: Can't blame injuries for this. Simple passes over or under hit, total lack of discipline at the back so one person nowhere near what's going on is playing everyone onside, getting shoved off the ball easily and generally not being up for it. If Dyche can get what he gets out of that Burnley squad, there's no excuse for whatever you call this today. Totally agree, the eleven we have out there should be good enough but they need to toughen up and get smart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted 6 March 2021 Share Posted 6 March 2021 2 minutes ago, coolhandfox said: Big issue is the way we start, slow tempo and playing backward. Only positive is the fact we are only 1 down. I thought we'd learnt from last season, moved forward and realised such negative football was a nonsense but nope, seems to be Rodgers' go to defense mechanism when things are going well but it makes us worse. Credit to Rodgers for how we've gone this season but with the credit he carries the can when we go to shit, especially when its a carbon copy of last year. Thats not to say the players get away with it, no effort shown whatsoever. Perform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is he stood two yards behind the line watching Lallana in an acre of space and makes no effort to try to cover the danger. If that’s not shocking then jeez.

Pliskin Posted 6 March 2021 Share Posted 6 March 2021 It’s clear Cags can’t play in a back three. He always looks shocking in a back three. Why Brendan persists does my head in. We’ve got two fit CB, and two fit full backs. Play a back four. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolhandfox Posted 6 March 2021 Share Posted 6 March 2021 Whe you have a makeshift side you should keep it simple, not tikka taka around the back. Play forward, hit you front man and turn the them around. We would get a penalty and pass it back to Kasper. Still going 2-1 Vardy yo get both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxes_rule1978 Posted 6 March 2021 Share Posted 6 March 2021 These players should be doing better, we have a defence with Ricardo, castagne, soyuncu, fofana, midfield with tielemans and ndidi and Vardy upfront... but nothing is clicking. The players are there to still beat teams like brighton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicesterseddon Posted 6 March 2021 Share Posted 6 March 2021 It’s true we don’t have that many options because if the injuries. But to go with a back three again against this team is just madness. Have Ricardo or Castagne done anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
