We have 4 centre backs all more comfortable playing in a back 3. I don't like back 3s but at least try it to sort out our defensive woes.

Yes, I agree that with the players which we have, we’d be better playing 3-4-1-2…… but Ruud is never gonna do that, so it’s pointless to keep suggesting he will!

Surely he's got to change something....

 

I'll admit on evidence thus far he's trying again and again with the same dross that keeps ... surprisingly producing the same kind of result, but surely eventually some part of him will say ... we can keep playing this way and lose, or ... try something new and hope for a better result.

 

If not, Leicester could appoint me. I'd work for half of Ruud's wages, and at least try new tactics to find a way to win a match.

Yeah. He won’t.

He will keep picking 4-2-3-1 as that is what his coaching badge manual says he should. He will keep doing it again and again. Obvious we need to tweak something formation wise but would be surprised. 

[Blue-fox]

I just can’t see us getting anything. Unless there’s a change of shape in the formation or personnel I may not even bother watching it.

Not scored at home since 8th Dec.

 

This won't end well.

Ahh, but were you a charismatic man u striker and do you look good in a turtleneck?

If the answer is yes to both then you have a chance, not sure about changing things mind, we might lose if you do that... 😐

They were depleted…. The question put to Arteta prior to the game was about an injury crisis, and he agreed there was one…. That was as poor an Arsenal team I’ve seen for a while, and they’ve been terrible in recent years by their standards. They offered very little at all, and any other premier league team would have beaten them. In fact, they will lose comfortably to West Ham I think. 
 

Brentford will tear us to bits on Friday night, because they will put more into it than Arsenal did. They were there for the taking, and it was another limp attacking performance from a bunch of pensioners, as the younger attacking players sit on the bench. 

I can only assume you watch absolute no football at all outside of Leicester games? Tomiyasu aside (Timber and White both been chosen ahead of him anyway) who do you think was missing from the first team that would ordinarily play?

 

 

They're missing their first choice front 3 and their first choice back up striker. Their back up front 3 was Trossard, Nwaneri and Sterling. 2 of which would walk into most teams in the league and to be fair, 1 who is an absolute clown.

I’d sooner play the Birch now than the stroller Soumare 

Can't agree with that. 2 or 3 games recently he's been the only one tracking back and he knits things together better than Winks right now. I can't even believe I'm writing that, given where we were a year ago.

[Lako42]

These are exactly the type of outfit that will give us a good seeing to. 

 

Unlike the Arsenal pedestrian walking football these lot can break at real pace and have quality to execute. 

 

At least there wont be many there to witness it judging by the stadium map

I can't be there as I'll be in the hospital and the only reason I'm looking forward to listening to it is because it means they were able to bring me out of anaesthesia.

I think this could be a real culmination of the club's on field and off field decision making.

 

Likely to lose to a club we were lightyears ahead of a few years ago, in front of thousands of empty seats despite them putting it on general sale.

 

Reap what you sow.

[Foxes96]

Ruud wont change formation, but Buonanotte has to come in, and Coulibaly & Okoli to start. And get Evans on the bench.

 

                        Hermansen 

Coulibaly - Okoli - Vestergaard - Thomas 

                    Ndidi - Soumaré 

   BDCReid  -  Buonanotte  -  El Khannous

                             Daka

 

Stolarczyk / Faes / Kristiansen / Winks / Skipp / Mavididi / Evans / Ayew / Vardy

How people think Thomas will be an upgrade on VK is beyond me - must have very short term memory. 

He’s not at all an upgrade. Same way Daka isn’t really but we aren’t scoring or doing anything that well so 

[Samilktray]

The club are offering cheaper tickets for NHS staff for this game now 

[Posthorn54]

NHS cheap tickets. I think you may need them if you keep watching this lot. It’s definitely making me ill 

[Jack106.]

Can genuinely feel a win here lads also front 4 imo should be facundo, bilal, mavididi and vards

[Jack106.]

Have you seen the amount of empty seats listen on the website it’s going to look horrendous live on tv. With what’s going on in the ownership and on the pitch as well I don’t blame some people but there is no loyalty in this club. Even last season our fanbase complained constantly when we won the league😂always moaning too much creates such a negative feeling in the stadium and probably off the pitch for the players. What we have got is pathetic at the minute but gotta make do with what you have and still back the lads to the last game there’s plenty of chance we survive this season but without backing from the supporters what boost our we going to give our so called players.not only turning up to the game but why don’t the fans around the stadium at least clap they don’t even sing but don’t even bother clapping what’s the point in going to the game if your gonna leave at 70 and not move or sing at all🤷‍♂️

It's crazy how many empty seats there are. The club would never had expected to be giving NHS discount to premier league games. 

 

People have a lot to think about. The club internally will be blaming half term and inflation etc. But ultimately it's people are just so beyond pissed off with the club. 

[SemperEadem]

I mean there are more than normal but there really is not thousands and thousands of empty seats for sale for this one.

I just checked and didn't look that bad to me. The cheaper corners are both sold out, I bought tickets for the West Ham game the day before and both those blocks had hundreds available.
