Popular Post Lionator Posted 24 December 2024 Popular Post Posted 24 December 2024 Stolarczyk is fit. He should without any shadow of a doubt be starting this game. He is a quality shot stopper. The fans rate him, the defence will have more confidence in him. It’s a must. 8

Cropwellfox Posted 24 December 2024 Posted 24 December 2024 Ugh, don’t expect Justin to be out the team based on RVNs comments about him - “he’s had some excellent games” .. yep in 2019/2020. 1 2

moore_94 Posted 24 December 2024 Posted 24 December 2024 (edited) Ruud Van Nistelrooy Pre-Match Press Conference vs Liverpool How squad doing after Wolves? “The squad is good, they’re fine. We know what position we’re in. The results from the four games, there are some positives. The last two are losses but we look at the bigger picture and we look ahead. We know it’s going to be a long season where we’re fighting until the end to show we deserve to play in this league.” Liverpool? “We prepare every game to get a result. That won’t change. We know where we are compared to Liverpool, we have to be realistic and be aware of what we’re capable of, when we’re creating a gameplan. It’s important to go for our maximum performance but perform within our capabilities.” Ward? “What happened during the game, it was a tough one, because you feel for a team-mate. It’s support for him and being there for him, and staying together. We need to perform in a way that gives fans something to cheer.” Goalkeeper injuries? “We’re assessing every day with Mads. Jakub is back and is fit and is available. We’ll make decisions.” Justin? “He’s a great professional with good qualities. He’s played some excellent games. I’m not worried about him. We all go through different spells of form, where the crowd starts to react towards you. It’s our job to deal with it with performances.” Mistakes? “The incidents that happened on conceding three goals, that is the evaluation for me and my team. It’s not a structural thing, we didn’t concede because the tactical set-up wasn’t right. It was three individual incidents where you can all see what happened. If you take those out, it sounds silly, but it was a decent performance. It hurts more that we lost a game like that.” View of the task at hand changed? “No, not at all. If you evaluate on a weekly basis into a drama or into a success, that is not the way to work as professionals. The media and fans will react like that, but we know we’re in it for the long run and we know the end of the season is the finish line. That is the bigger picture for me. I’m not going to create a drama every week. I’m not going to celebrate every week.” Mads? “It’s about his development and how he improves. We want him fit. But you can’t rush these things. We’ll see when he’s 100 per cent.” Any fresh injuries? “We have to address Jamie. He picked up some knocks. We have to see if he’s ready on Thursday. I don’t want to share on personal medical updates on players. Hopefully we will be fine, but if not, it will be short term.” Work this week? “The back-line had one of their best games, in terms of the number of chances they had and the number of box entries, they were season bests. We have to stop the individual mistakes.” How to stop mistakes? “It’s confidence, it’s trust, and with good preparation the confidence will rise.” Liverpool? “It’s clear who the dominant force are in this game. I know how Arne wants to make his teams play. He’s got it right straight away. They are the dominant force also in the Champions League. The streak is remarkable. We have to be very compact, we have to be ready to know what we’re facing. We have to be ready to play too. It will be a great task but it’s a great chance to develop in all areas in the game, and that will help us towards the finish line.” Edited 24 December 2024 by moore_94 1 2

We have to stop the individual mistakes. That is one of way of putting it Jakub is going to play. In a weird way he's going to be under a bit of pressure now.

Imagine a Cooper press conference in the same circumstances!
SkidsFox Posted 24 December 2024 Posted 24 December 2024 A bad side-effect of this pile-on Ward, is that whoever plays in goal now will get blamed for goals conceded, when in many cases it can be the defence allowing the opposition to waltz in. Never mind, lets hope Mads is back at 100% soon.
Tomo260 Posted 24 December 2024 Posted 24 December 2024 (edited) Happy for Vardy to rest and Daka instead. If Ward plays this over Jakub, I won't be able to watch. Ward needs to go and play league 1 Edited 24 December 2024 by Tomo260
Devonfox1884 Posted 24 December 2024 Posted 24 December 2024 Jakub Choudhury Faes Vestergaard Kristiansen Winks Soumare Facundo Bilal Mavididi Daka Anything less than a 4 goal defeat would be a bonus here. My prediction is a surprise 1-0 lead with an eventual 5-1 defeat. 1
Sly Posted 24 December 2024 Posted 24 December 2024 I think he’ll go with the following: Ward Kristiansen Faes Coady Justin Soumare Skipp Choudhury Reid Ayew McAteer 1
brownfox Posted 24 December 2024 Posted 24 December 2024 We are going to get a hammering so the bigger picture is damage limitations. the team that I think will get the least hammering is jakub Rb Faes (yes u read that right can switch to a back 3) okoli vestagard VK Soumare winks Facundo Bilal Mavididi vardy if fit or daka
Cincinnati Fox Posted 24 December 2024 Posted 24 December 2024 Vardy always has Christmas off. And I am fine with that. 1

ronnup Posted 24 December 2024 Posted 24 December 2024 Amazing how quickly that optimism dissappeared. Be about 7 nil this
brownfox Posted 24 December 2024 Posted 24 December 2024 I bet Jakub is thinking ahh crap he’s going to get played. It’s a little unfair on him to be thrown into that team because regardless of who’s in front of him aren’t good enough. Even if we had Mads we still got a poor team and still would probably lose the games.

To be fair there xg was around 1.11, compared to our 0.88. We restricted them to 8 shots, we created 1 big chance they created 2. Never a 3-0 game without individual errors.

henry56 Posted 24 December 2024 Posted 24 December 2024 Play Ward . The comedy value would be worth it
