Why does our keeper always do that ?

Gives the ball to a defender & puts him under pressure, handing the opposition an opportunity / today giving them a goal 

It's the process don't you know?

 

Any tactical error is just the process. That way nobody can argue otherwise.

We have had spells of control but nothing like previous games or periods of dominance. 

Blackburn make it difficult for us because they're quicker on the ball and to the second balls. It's why our passing has to be better. 

 

There was an odd tempo from us where when we took the lead we looked very casual and lackadaisical but once it was 1-1 we started playing like we were a goal down in a cup tie and about to go out, but not in the good way, hurried, with a lack of composure. Since the Vardy goal we've looked a lot more on it and I think we've looked the more likely to score next.

Mads is quality. Its a risk reward thing and we were sloppy. Currently has created more chances than we have conceded.

Think it’s fair to say Blackburn look far more energetic than we do.

Enzo clearly wants Vesty to receive the ball and start the attack but FFS he takes forever to pass the ball, and 99% of the time chooses the short safe pass, hardly ever pings the ball into the channels or do much creative. I don’t get it.

Waiting for them to press him and then play around it

Blackburn have been very impressive so far, don’t understand why they’re so far down the league tbh

just get a picture of Vstergard standing still and watch that... same same

If you move your head side to side slowly it'll just be like him sauntering with the ball

[when_you're_smiling]

We’ve been decent as a team, just about edging it and that’s despite struggling in midfield at times.

 

Fatawu probably has to come off, which is a shame because he’s been by far the best player outside the defence.

 

Looking forward to what bringing five quality and hungry subs on can do on the game though.

No, you can still make mistakes following the process, just that in this case those mistakes lead to an immediate attack. 

 

I remember we did this to Villa when we beat them 1-4 last season. KDH was all over their playing out the back. Did Emery stick to his plan, or resort to Dycheball? 

[Number 6]

If we sort the passing out then there'll be lots of opportunities should we beat the press. At times our passing wasn't up to beating it though and we've got into bother. Not over by a long shot and the yellow cards is a worry.

[Vacamion]

Cant believe we aren't steaming towards the goal line and trying to win corners, as Blackburn seem to be fairly awful at defending them.

They've clearly picked up on it and are looking to exploit it. It'll be interesting to see how we reshape or change our build up second half.

 

Good test for Enzo's tactical nous, this one.

I suppose it’s personal preference. Yes I understand your very valid viewpoint and, in isolation, there are moments that can look boring, you are correct. However viewed as a whole, I find the new system a breath of fresh air. I can only speak for myself obviously but all I know is that for the first time in over a year I’m actually ENJOYING watching us play football. 

In the main i agree with you and ive loved most og this season so far, fast and creative... but we have been completely worked out in this match and just standing on the ball is just crap.

While we are infront theyll be allowed to do it... what would we do if we were  down by a goal?... we wouldnt be standing around and nor should we when we are drawing or leading by 1 in the first half... the game is not just about results

[Bryn]

Think they’ve given us a real tactical issue and so far we’ve come out on top. I’ll be impressed if we can come through this.

Started the Bristol game.

 

He's just rotating with Preston coming up, he'll probably do the same with Mavididi at some point.

My sentiments were right…..Fox hub bamboozled me..

And agree..

I reckon we will see the front 6 especially go through a few phases of rotation.

Just at present who fills that Vardy position…Mcateer..??

[Sly]

Mads just played Winks a bad ball. It should have been onto his other foot. 
 

Winks should maybe have been stronger as well watching it back. 
 

It’ll happen and we potentially need to upgrade on KDH long term, so we’re not so one dimensional from that opposition press.

If you don't genuflect to tactical decisions

Nice!

[Chelmofox]

This has been the sloppiest i have seen us, but that is largely down to Blackburns approach which is stifling out Winks and Ricardo, and forcing the back 3 into errors. Ndidi and KDH have struggled, although Ndidi played a lovely ball for Vardy's brilliant goal.

 

Impressed with Fatuwu, but he's a red card waiting to happen.

 

Interesting to see if Blackburn can keep this up. I think they struggled in the last 15 minutes.

I understand what you’re saying, and obviously I don’t want us to make mistakes. But our start to the season proves we’re getting more right that wrong. Of course we need to get better at it and of course there may be very valid concerns which can be well stated, like your own. But the general “stop messing about and get it forwards” mentality of some posters frustrates me. You, of course, are not one of those. 

Yes. Exactly. You put it perfectly.

 

We got flustered. Blackburn executed their press very well. It happens.

[Tielemans63]

KDH to have a stormer second half. I can feel it!

[RowlattsFox]

Struggling for an out ball if Ricardo/Winks isn't on. KdH and Ndidi need to find space, as well the wingers.

Well I guess it’s because it’s against Leicester City where every game against us will be seen as a cup final and a free hit

always???????

I don't think I've ever seen Big Wes looking so small. It's weird. 

[ARTY_FOX]

Kdh taking too many touches again. Needs to keep it simple.
