Neither Justin or VK can go past an opponent in a 1vs1 so we'd rely heavily on getting the ball into Bilal who would be marked out of the game.

He doesnt have the ability nor the intelligence to lead the line alone at this level.

He doesnt have the ability nor the intelligence to lead the line alone at this level. Unfortunately if we do go with a back 5 we would only really have a choice of either 1 creative player/2 strikers or 2 creatives/1 striker Vardy looks like he needs a couple of games out as well Maybe Mavididi in there somehow? Although he looks shite as well Reality is whatever we do there is going to be an area of the pitch that really struggles isn’t there?

I’m hoping when we play them they are Schitter than us we may only just May if we can actually score a goal, anyway by this weekend surely all the paperwork for Coulibali should be sorted and he’s able to play cause we really need a quality defender? would love to have visited the toilet bowl stadium but missed out, oh well will have to save petrol money and watch at home instead ?
Paninistickers Posted 20 January Posted 20 January This Dutch fella won't do anything apart from fiddle whilst Rome burns 4231 and tweaks like coady in for Vesty. Ayew. Maybe McAteer or BdcR over Stephy to shake things up Weak, slow. Rinse and repeat. We are dealing with an idiot here.

Agree, thinking more of a direct throw it into the channels for Daka and Vardy rather than build down the wings. Maybe that would suit Buonanotte over BEK, but want to see BEK playing. 30 minutes ago, moore_94 said: I think if we do go for a back 5 like that it should be Woyo at right wing back (although knowing us he probably still wont be ready yet) and then both Bilal and Facundo behind Daka Really tempted by Bilal and Facundo as dual 10s, but more for a game we will have more of the ball in. Woyo just a complete unknown for me, but not against him playing.

CUJimmy Posted 20 January Posted 20 January 4 minutes ago, FoxinNotts said: Stol Faes Vesty Okoli Woyo Bilal Soumare Kristiensen Facundo Mavididi Daka Agree with the shape, we need to do something to solidify the defence. My concern is that you are asking BEK to play box-to-box and the only reason I can think of for him repeatedly being hooked after 60 mins is that RVN thinks he hasn’t got 90 in him. I would be inclined to stick with Winks as CDM and play BEK alongside Facundo as dual 10s. Mav doesn’t seem to be offering much at the moment so no great loss to leave him on the bench. 1

RoboFox Posted 20 January Posted 20 January They're shit but still twice as good as us. Getting pumped here. As a club that seems to be constantly in turmoil I do empathise with their fanbase.

My thoughts are to hit them on the break Winks doesn’t seem to have that pass in him anymore Bilal could sit, and pick the pass

Woyo just a complete unknown for me, but not against him playing. Again, I think playing with those tactics makes us easy to defend against. If we play Vardy and Daka Spurs will just sit a little bit deeper and their keeper will adopt a higher starting position limiting the space in behind. I think at any level of football you need as many players on the pitch that are good in 1vs1 situations. When you get past your marker it then draws another player out of position which then opens up the space for us to take advantage of. Mavididi, Bilal, Buonanotte, Soumare and Woyo (apparently) are all good in 1vs1 situations so ideally we'd want as many of those as possible on the pitch at any one time.
CosbehFox Posted 20 January Posted 20 January I now agree with the calls for 3-5-2. Pack the pitch, give Vardy some support, our wingers effectively work as AMCs anyway. Make it really tiresome for Spurs, protect the defence who in a three might find safety in numbers. The full backs get a bit more freedom. 1
Foxin_Mad Posted 20 January Posted 20 January We are getting absolutely spanked here, it will be 4-0 or something, goals to Spurs in the first few minutes and they will run riot. Maddison sure to score, probably Son will have a good game to. We have nothing to offer, absolutely nothing, we cant defend and Vardy is absolutely spent, were done here.
