North Leeds Fox Posted 7 March 2021 Share Posted 7 March 2021 Believe their only fit cbs are jagielka and ampadu who has had a poor season. Got to get at them. Hopefully vards and iheanacho will run riot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, we are literally desperate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majaco Posted 7 March 2021 Share Posted 7 March 2021 I would quite like to see Tavares again but Sheff Utd"s physicality may be too much for him. But it might be a bit much for Perez. Anybody know which injured players are near to returning other than Perez? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdb Posted 7 March 2021 Share Posted 7 March 2021 Seeing Praet and Perez's names on the bench would be wonderful. Hopefully Evans back too. Could be the start of a strong looking squad for the rest of the season 🙏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxinNotts Posted 7 March 2021 Share Posted 7 March 2021 (edited) Schmeichel Castagne (RB) Fofana Soyuncu Thomas/Fuchs(LB) Ricardo(RW) Ndidi Tielemans Albroghton(LW) Nachoman Vardy hopefully some returns to the bench Ward Evans Amartey Fuchs/Thomas Mendy Choudhury Praet Tavares Perez Edited 7 March 2021 by FoxinNotts 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tielemans63 Posted 7 March 2021 Share Posted 7 March 2021 I agree completely with the shouts for 442 but I can't see Brendan dropping Big Dan after his winner yesterday. I think he'll start with the same formation. If Perez is fit then I think he'll come in for Tavares and play that role. 3-4-1-2 again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxesWalk Posted 7 March 2021 Share Posted 7 March 2021 Bring Thomas and Albrighton back in and play 4411 for me; Kasper Castagne, Soy, Fofana, Thomas Ricardo, Ndidi, Tielemans, Albrighton Nacho Vardy Some may say harsh on Amartey, but aside from the goal I thought he was fairly poor, and isn’t well suited to playing full back in a 4.

reynard Posted 7 March 2021 Share Posted 7 March 2021 Serious question but why does everyone keep putting Ricardo at right wing? His best position is full back by a mile. I've seen nothing to suggest he's more than less than average at right wing. In fact, to me, he looks a shadow of the player he was last season. Still finding his way back after a very bad injury. I know we're short on options but really not sure we're gaining much by playing him further up the pitch especially if it means playing 3 CBs. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be that with all the other injuries in the team, this is considered the most effective way to play him back into fitness.

I agree he has been poor on the wing and in general since his recovery. We have no other options - it is only him, Albrighton and Castagne who have played wide midfield/wing in the past. Castagne has played midfield roles before, so he might be worth a try. I think we look so much better as a unit with a back 4 that it is worth playing Ricardo/Castagne OOP at RW. Back 3 is better for Ricardo (who is poor regardless at the moment), but worse for the team overall. It comes down to a sub-par Ricardo at RWB in a 352, or a sub-par Ricardo at RW in a 442/4411 - unless Perez is back, then we can play Ricardo, Castagne in a back 4 and Marc/Perez on the wings.

Pliskin Posted 7 March 2021 Share Posted 7 March 2021 We will finish these off easily, they’re ****ed themselves defensively, Southampton could have walked off with 9 goals, I think we will proper hammer these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcfc sheff Posted 7 March 2021 Share Posted 7 March 2021 Depending on injuries probably the same team as the Brighton game. No point dropping Tavares to bring another defensively minded midfielder (which tbf I think brendan thinks the same) but if someone like Perez or under is back then they should start.

Deeg67 Posted 7 March 2021 Share Posted 7 March 2021 Shame Praet likely wouldn't be fit to go for a full match here, because he's a good fit against these guys. We'll have plenty of possession and he's not going to be bullied physically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffschlupp Posted 7 March 2021 Share Posted 7 March 2021 Two up top to confuse a back three is always the way to go. But he won't play 4 at the back and 2 up front with two attacking full-backs like Castagne and Ricardo, so 3 at the back it is for now. Schmeichel Fofana Evans Soyuncu Ricardo Ndidi Tielemans Castagne Perez Iheanacho Vardy Subs: Ward, Daley-Campbell, Amartey, Fuchs, Thomas, Mendy, Choudhury, Tavares, Albrighton That is one hell of a team and probably only missing Maddison and Barnes of our best starting XI, and in their place you've got an in-form Iheanacho and a good player at no.10 in Perez.

We don't want to aggravate his hip, save him for the cup. Praet will not start after over two months out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
