V Brighton match thread

[foxfanazer]

Get it over and done with

[Bazly]

I'm not brave enough to watch us play the mighty Brighton today. The mental strain of slowly slowly then pass to them and all run back till Ward picks something out the net doesn't appeal.

[dorsetboy]

Vardy is just no good as a one up top now ..hes a on the shoulder player who now not doing that with no support .

 

At home ffs play nacho with him to sit in the hole and let vardy play how he use to.

Just got to hope Maddison gets on as he's our only hope.

You cannot have proper wingers with 2 up top unless you are prepared to right off the midfield, I am assuming the diamond would not be using wingers by the way 

Yeah I agree that it does. I'm basing it off of watching these players for years and looking at the lack of quality and need to not concede. DM would play near Tielemans as I've seen it in the past with the fullbacks pushing further up the pitch which historically was easier with JJ and castagna on better form. Praet doesn't have the pace but has a decent amount of control in tight areas so Castagna racing up the wings would suit the formation if the forwards go out wide to pick up the balls. Its hits and misses bit I think the team are dysfunctional at the minute so it's anyones guess.

Me - “he has to go, awful selection”

Three people sat opposite me - “yes but who for!”

 

I think we could tempt Kolo Toure from Wigan with the right offer, £10m+ per year...

No argument here!

At this point BR is actually just on the wind up. Let's start that prime lone striker again, Jamie Vardy. It's worked bloody brilliantly in every other

disastrous performance. It's like when a small child keeps pushing the boundaries to see how long until they get a smack on the arse. Unfortunately Top is a really bad parent who's gone down the pub.

Nope, fair question, if you say he should go, you must be well informed, so can reasonably be consulted on who comes in. 
Or is it now banned to ask questions?

Democracy rules for me, everyone is allowed an opinion even if they are wrong, me included. I'm never wrong though.

Serious question: what does Iheanacho need to do to start? It’s so evident that one up top isn’t working and he provides that link when Maddison is out.

BR is genius

I am always wrong, so have plenty of experience with what it looks like.

Brendan just said on SSN that our performances haven't been good enough, particularly defensively.

 

Yeah, because scoring one goal in 5 games isn't an issue.

We’re going down unless we sort a right winger out and stop starting the likes of Ward, Amartey and Mendy.

So we’re going down then….

You're my favourite poster that I disagree with 98% of the time

Having been on ft a few years now I'd have to say you're pretty grounded with your views as opposed to most. I'll concede defeat on this one! 🤐

Our conversion rate post restart has been awful

we don’t create enough opportunities but against Fulham we absolutely should have got at least a point and we should have been ahead last week.  He’s right to point out that if you keep a clean sheet then you get a point or better.

Well he keeps picking Amartey ahead of two actual centrebacks. 5 seasons amartey wasn’t good enough to command a place, all of a sudden he’s the first name on the sheet despite the defence being garbage.

Groundbreaking stuff! Maybe we should be paying him more

Just starting the 'what minute will Danny Welbeck score in?' sweepstake.

 

I'll go 34th minute 

how about 6th minute? 

[jim5000]

Vardy couldn’t do it against Fulham or Gillingham, even Rodgers said in the pre match interview he can’t do it all himself anymore - yet a day later he starts him as a lone striker….

It had to happen, Wilf has been in awful form. Mendy is the better option and passer that we need from the defensive midfield. 

[NasPb]

Play vardy and iheanacho together ffs how difficult is it

[oxtonfox]

27 minutes ago, UHDrive said:

In these key games I'd rather have vardy on the pitch for his demeanour alone even if he isn't scoring well.

hope he’s angry following the fire. He plays better then. 

[Lambert09]

i’m on my tod but very happy with that 😂

 

keep ndidi and perez out of the side and i can have peace. 
 

doesn’t matter who we play anyway brighton are in the form of their lives and will crucify out backline. 

 

please be kind to timmy, Mitoma is absolutely unreal and is going to make his life hell!
