Ric Flair Posted 17 February 2022 Posted 17 February 2022 Got to be the diamond tonight. It will be a huge problem for them who try to overload the flanks and then look for space inside. In some ways you'd think that formation would suit width but it tends to be the opposite. Schmeichel Albrighton Ndidi Amartey Thomas Hamza Tielemans KDH Maddison Daka Barnes 2

Schmeichel Albrighton Ndidi Amartey Thomas Hamza Tielemans KDH Maddison Daka Barnes I think you can play the diamond tonight and not worry too much about their full backs flying forward. Key for us not to panic. No away goals rule now which changes the tactics slightly 3

VLC86 Posted 17 February 2022 Posted 17 February 2022 Apparently 600 of their lot are coming over, will be nice to see a proper European away following. 1

Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 17 February 2022 Posted 17 February 2022 A confidence booster is much required. Not a difficult arm wrestle.
Vazman Posted 17 February 2022 Posted 17 February 2022 17 hours ago, Lambert09 said: Vestergaard? “Jannik came in here with a specific role. We needed experience after we lost Wesley Fofana. He wasn’t quite fit. It’s been a difficult number of months. He put himself out there to play when he wasn’t fit. He’s got himself into a good condition. We have other players who play in his position. He’s a good guy and a top professional.” A great way to be nice about him but avoid saying he's a good player To be honest what are we doing buying players who are "unfit", either physically, or ability wise.
kingcarr21 Posted 17 February 2022 Posted 17 February 2022 Is the ticket collection still in the small windows by the fanstore or has it changed now?

l444ry Posted 17 February 2022 Posted 17 February 2022 The Diamond Formation's potential weakness is if the opposition is competent on the counter attack. Width in this system comes from the full backs so we'd need to be alert and concentrated at the back in transition with the full backs out of position. 1

It would be incredible to get a draw, but what we really need is to see a bit of commitment and some signs that the team is heading in the right direction. That's all we can reaslistically ask for.

Shame Alves isn't in there but I think we're unrealistic to think Rodgers is going to consider him yet. Just hope by doing so there's no possibility he refuses pro terms with us in May and goes elsewhere as he will be the one we regret if so.

Had a great pre-season and was said to be kept in the U23's and around the 1st team rather than go out on loan. Since then he's been one of our best U23 players, even playing out of position and yet seems further away from the 1st team than a year ago, seldom trains with the 1st team any longer. I'm sure there are reasons for it but can't help wonder why.

Not necessarily the players fault but more those around him.

I was told last summer that Rudkin has had a huge hand in ensuring Alves and Braybrooke know exactly what the club think of them and their futures here. I don't think there will be an issue but you never know. 1

If they then go on to play elsewhere so be it, but hopefully will be motivated to breakthrough and represent Leicester first.
