He needs to play the older heads and just tweak things a bit, mix it up. Possession is fine but step up the speed of things, be a little more direct at times. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to work on going on the outside and using their opposite foot more often tho, don’t try and pick anyone out and just drill the ball low into the fecking box! Also Fatawu needs to stop shooting from outside, I kno he scored a wondergoal against Bournemouth but he can’t keep completely missing the target 3-4 times a game! Needs to focus on getting it on target rather than the top bag. Mavididi does it well, going both ways, but Fatawu is so bloody one dimensional and predictable, it's infuriating. Get it, cut I'm, curler to far post. Only trick in his locker. I don't get why he's so raved about, Mav is by far the much better player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although he didn't score, Mavididi was much better against Leeds and created some very good chances as we were given more space. When teams play deep against us the plan is to nullify and double up on the wingers as this is where the creativity comes from. When this happens, we need more out of the midfield players and that just didn't happen yesterday. This is why when Ndidi is playing well we start creating different problems as their defence dont have the resources to double up on the wingers.

Popular Post funkyrobot Posted 3 March Popular Post Share Posted 3 March Watching Man City earlier on playing against the deep block of the shambles that is Man U and it was noticeable that they weren’t afraid of taking shots from the edge of the area and outside it from a central position. Foden scored centrally from range and there were a few efforts from a similar position. It wasn’t all Tiki-Taka and ultimately the ranged effort broke the block. I know we have Fatawu with his efforts coming in from the right but other than him yesterday the lads had opportunities to fire a few shots and they didn’t take them. Justin was particularly culpable but there were plenty of other times that a shot could’ve been taken and instead it was shuffled sideways. Begovic didn’t get his kit dirty. He’s slow to get down and loves a parry, the weather was shite, the grass was greasy and it was the perfect opportunity to test his ageing limbs but we seemed reluctant. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get it, cut I'm, curler to far post. Only trick in his locker. I don't get why he's so raved about, Mav is by far the much better player Fatawu beat his man down the outside on numerous occasions yesterday, he didn’t just rely on cutting in onto his left. His dribbling was definitely not one dimensional. His final ball or shot let him down for sure though. Mavididi, for all of his step overs did look one dimensional yesterday. He tried only twice to go on the outside in the second half and got outfought both times and in general by a fullback he should’ve had in his back pocket. He cut back inside pretty much every time without attempting a dribble and then usually passed it centrally with no penetration. It’s the 2nd home game on the trot where the threat has looked on our right side with Fatawu only. Mavididi has looked a bit sulky with his body language - low in confidence and belief. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fazzer 7 Posted 3 March Share Posted 3 March (edited) Another defeat l'm afraid. With easy games for Ipswich, Saints and Leeds it will be a disaster. Edited 3 March by Fazzer 7 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lad1966 Posted 3 March Share Posted 3 March This match will tell us, whether we are up for the fight or not. Win this and this will be big boost for us mentally and hopefully give us confidence going forward. I am not thinking about if the worse happens, either way I will be behind the team, because whatever the result, there still 10 games to go and a lot could still happen!

iancognito Posted 4 March Share Posted 4 March Not sure he has to tweak the system exactly just who plays where. Nacho normally plays in the 8/10 position for Nigeria, almost never an out & out striker and he did it for us in 2021. A lot of his goals came from playing behind or off Vardy with his runs giving Nacho room to play and get a shot off. It's got to be worth a shot having him in that position to give more creativity behind whichever striker he picks (personally I'd want Cannon or Jamie up there but he's probably picking Daka for the run-in by the looks of it. And lets hope the experiment of having KDH on the right side not the left died on Saturday too. Would rather Yunus uses his weaker foot than Kiernan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The purists would snigger but I guarantee you we'd have created more with him up front and Albrighton on the right in the final 20 minutes on Saturday than we did trying to lob a sausage down Gallowtree Gate. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Times we could of hammered teams just by using a change of pace. All we do is let teams fall back and sit waiting for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lionator Posted 4 March Share Posted 4 March Just looking at their forum and these are well and truly in the mud. Their predicted starting XI is so far from what it was when we played them in October. There literally isn’t a better team to play right now to get back on track. Play our game well and we win comfortably. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Fox Posted 4 March Share Posted 4 March We do need more intensity, go for the jugular, do not rest our laurels on a 1 goal lead, that does us more harm than good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
