Vardy still not ready. He’s gonna be off it for the first few games of the season I hope we’re all prepared? Lots of missed sitters and getting knackered after 20 min. 
I wonder if we’ll ever get a decent replacement for him

I hate this shape so much compared to last year. 

 

It's little things but they're really obvious. 

 

Like having Kristiansen so advanced as the main left side width with Mavididi pushed inside. He's just not an attacking left back, he's nit going to beat his man. So it's an utter waste every time it'll always slow us down when he has to come back inside and pass it backwards. 

 

I swear to god it's Ben Chilwell under Puel all over again. 

 

Yet he'd be perfect just sitting back as a more defensive full back, letting Mavididi go back out wide to terrorise the defence as the first receiver out there and create room for a midfielder under lapping on the inside. 

 

So much momentum just lost. 

 

It makes no sense either when they are playing such a narrow diamond midfield, we need to be progressing it down the wings quickly with Kristiansen and JJ supporting Mav and Fatawu to isolate the full back - especially when both wingers love taking players on as well

VK is probably the most least effective footballer I've ever seen.

 

Can't beat a man

Can't put a ball in

Isn't quick

Isn't strong.

Absolutely no right foot whatsoever.

 

Couple that with daka up front. You're starting with 9 men already.

 

Then if someone has a bad game you're down to 8 or even 7

 

Yep and we scouted him and somehow said yep… he is worth 15 million. Baffling.

It just infuriates me. I don't know how you can watch this as a professional football coach and not see it's obviously not an intelligent use of the space on a pitch. 

 

With Mavididi's skill set, why are you sending him off to go and stand around in a crowd of defenders central in the pitch. 

 

Even if he gets the ball there what do you want him to do. He isn't James Maddison, he's not going to turn on a dime and slot a little through ball in or something. 

 

He's utterly wasted coming inside.

Two things, we’re better with Coady in the team. 
 

And in terms of attack we just need someone in who can be a link in the central attacking position, because it’s not too bad, bee need a striker Daka can’t be the option going into next season, he’s plain a simply not good enough.

im hoping VK is just a bit rusty 

I think there is a player in there but like 90% of our squad if a decent offer came in, we’d be foolish not to entertain it.
