Is it worth me getting up 4am in the morning and going to a bar to watch this in Vegas?

Enzo is pretty rigid in his approach to the game. I don't see him starting with two forwards.    I would really like to see Cannon get a chance of some kind. Neither Nacho or Vardy are burning up the league.

 

Maybe together they would if they both started, at least both forwards wouldn't be dropping so far deep, we need Vardy in the box, opposition other half as opposed to coming deep. I do think 3-5-2 would work for us on occasions, when we cannot break the opposition down, and cannot draw them onto to us to be attacked.

File under: I’ve read some predictions on here in my time, but…

It's not that bad of a prediction.

 

Anyway can beat anyone in this league and most if not all teams can't put away chances.

I think it was the 'shutting up the weirdos' part of the prediction that he found implausible...

We will win this one. Everyone acting like we are playing man city, yeah we were gash on Wednesday, but every game in this league is more than winnable.

I also think we'll win tomorrow. Then we have two very winnable home games while Ipswich and Leeds have consecutive tricky away games...

Get down the sports book - they’ll be a load of pissed up down and outs who will be there to keep you company.

…. might be some West Brom fans, too

Terrible news if he's missing the game IMO.

 

I don't think we have another centre back that can play his role on the right of the back 3.

 

Coady looked lost there on Wednesday. It's clear to me that he and Vestergaard can only play centrally.

 

I'd bring Souttar in I think if we are going to stick with the back 3 but personally would go with a back four and try attacking with Ricardo and Justin over lapping Fatawu and Mavididi.

Enzo saying about the congestion. We have the deepest squad in the league, probably time to utilise it.

he has a point though, you would never see some one in the prem play Wednesday and then lunchtime kick off on the sat.

Wednesday 7.45 followed by Saturday 12:45 is shite no matter how big your squad is. Especially when both games are away (granted not that far to travel but still).

 

Every right to moan when Sky TV are ****ing you over IMO.

[cruzFOX]

Are we finally gonna release the cannon?

enzo has to play his at some point surely?

throw him in let’s see what he can do ffs!

[phildw]

The negativity on here is embarrassing to be honest. We are different class to every team in the league and have the quality and depth in the squad to walk this league as we have shown, and continue to show, for the first third of it. There will be blips and sometimes we will lose or draw but the quality we have already shown will continue. This is a journey and we are probably well ahead of where Enzo expected us to be anyway and I fully expect the quality to continue to push onto promotion and the Chsmpionship. 

[Guppys Love Child]

Just stolen this form the press conference:

Wednesday performance?

“We lost today four games. We didn’t deserve to lose against Hull or Boro. For sure, we didn’t deserve to win against Sheffield Wednesday. We had chances but it wasn’t our best performance. It’s not about the changes. It’s difficult. It was not our best game. We need to improve many things. We needed more passes. Sometimes we were too quick. Abdul was shooting from his house. We need to be calm. Abdul is 19. If you ask me if we want two more points, of course, But the draw was correct.”

 

Errrr. surely he can't be serious.

 

I'd love to hear people's views on this .

  But if he tries to implement this thought next game .god help us.. sorry, any slower and we'll stop, any more passes and we'll never get out of our half and the ball up to our forward players to go and do some damage.

 

I know it's how we play now, but I truly hate possession based football   it's suffocating our players, it's tedious, as for a slowly growing number it's killing the enjoyment of watching us play.

[filbertway]

Oooft. If anyone watched the game on Wednesday and their conclusion was "we need to be slower and pass more" I'd laugh, it's terrifying that the gaffer is saying it though.

 

Gonna give him the benefit of the doubt and hope it's just a case of poorly chosen words in his 2nd language. Evidence will be in the performance on Saturday.

I hope you are right my friend.

 

 However.......

Enzo does realise to score you need to shoot , unless he wants a lot of headed goals

ffs - sure this just means 'we need to make better decisions'. Taking it too literally. 

[baldeagle]

I think when he’s referring  to being too quick. I think he means things like  Fat shooting from miles out rather than trying to get in a better position . As in trying to rush things

Ok I can see where you are coming from with that. - just.

 

But with regards to more passing, sorry, but any more sideways and backwards to the keeper (going by all of our games so far this seems to be our standard Modus operandi) and the opposition may as well just stay in their own half ( ok an over - exaggeration I'll admit, but you get my point)

If "better decisions" means more passing then I can see why our players have chosen to pass and kill a chance, rather than take on a clear shot. I'm not talking 30 yards about, I'm talking a free shot within 20 yards of goal. We've passed up plenty of those opportunities so far for some unfathomable reason.

 

[moore_94]

I would never take what they have written for his press conferences as it is written

 

They have written some stuff at times that makes absolutely no sense unless it is reworded / restructured
