What type of football do people want to watch?

[Sly]

King Power clearly have a “system”, which they want to progress toward.

 

Lots on here dub it “Manchester City”, however it’s basically possession based, controlling, strangling the life out of the oppression team. 
 

Some would deem this “boring”.

 

They want to be entertained.

 

This is what King Power want.

 

What do you want to watch? 

[dillonpanthers87]

Fight, passion, on the ground, pressing football, with width and proper wingers. No tippy tappy bollox - unless it has the killer instinct in the moment and can be unpredictable.

[worthosoriginals]

Hoofball to a big useless twat up front 

[Swarles Barkley]

Fast and direct like when we won the PL. Appreciate this will be much more “difficult” in the championship as teams sit back but based on the talent (with the wingers and the youth coming though) we have in the side it seems the best that suits us

[Jattdogg]

Have to always be hit on the counter. We don't or won't have the players to be like man shitty.

[MC Prussian]

It'd be nice if we had

a) defenders that could defend (80 goals against in a 38-game season is appalling). What's the saying – "building from the back"? Just look at what Burnley achieved this season, incredible. We have to emulate that.

b) a creative, attacking midfield (remember all the games when Vardy was left up front on his own because no one would pass the ball to him?)

c) strikers that can score (Daka better rediscover his scoring boots in the Championship: 1 (!) goal in 23 matches this season, abysmal)

d) passion, fight and determination

e) players enjoying to wear the shirt instead of simply collecting a pay check

 

At least our youngsters and some senior players do give me some hope.

 Counter attack end to end,first couple of seasons under Rodgers,  we where that till he turned into another dull possession based team. 

[lcfcsnow]

Attacking players being able to express themselves (proper ones, not spoilers like Ayew and Reid)

Midfielders with an eye for a pass and a goal (none of our current lot do)

[LcFc_Smiv]

Aggressive on the front foot, high-pressing football winning the ball back high up the pitch. If they beat the press midfielders and defenders stepping in to go and win it. In possession look forward, play forward, if you can't quick switches and attack the opposite side. A bit like Sheff Utd did when they came up originally under Wilder pre-covid, just a pure no respect for anyone/anybody style of football that aims to cause carnage.

in the champ - football which will get us out of the champ

in the prem - football which will keep us in the prem

[StanSP]

At this rate I just want some players to relate to and a club to relate to. That's the starting point. 

[Iwebema]

For me it needs to be fluid and not be dogmatic to principles that cant be adapted.

 

The hard part is finding something that works in the championship but can also work in the prem.

 

Ive always been a sucker for Diego Simeones "Cholismo" style. For me that's the approach I think would fit the fans and club and wouldn't be out of kilter with the current direction of modern football, perhaps I'd like to see more fluidity than rigidity than simeones teams, but it is certainly not a style that is appreciated by the board, so its unlikely to ever be realistic.

I think everyone wants to see attacking football. 
 

More importantly I want to see us winning. So whatever it takes to achieve that. 

[Kitchandro]

The opposite, basically. Ideally, I want two essential things: one is pressing to win the ball back (most goals don’t come from playing out the back).

 

Second, and most of all, I want to see is play at a high tempo. That’s what makes the game entertaining and it’s what leads to scoring chances. I want us to play with some cojones like we really want to win, rather than being scared to lose.

 

Have possession, don’t have possession, play it long, pass it short, have inverted full backs, have one up front, two up front, 6 up front  - it doesn’t matter. But play with pace and bravery, take calculated risks in pursuit of goals and don’t make everything about your ego or brand.

 

Just play football like you enjoy it and you believe in your own ability. Basically, play like us in 2015/16.

 

 

I’d also like to add that winning is not the most important thing for me. We’ve won games under some recent managers (Puel, Rodgers and Enzo all had some good runs) but I wasn’t interested in paying to watch any of them. Nonetheless, a high tempo is essential whether you want to win or be entertained.

The football that was played against us today

[Nolucklcfc]

A style of football that wins you games. Martin style will probably work in the championship but he’ll want to do it if we go up (we won’t) and so what’s the long term plan? Because it’s been proven as ineffective at premier league level which I assume is the aim. It’s the worst type of football for excitement and atmosphere but I’ve been the type of fan that’s results ahead of everything. Our fanbase just won’t take to slow possession based football, that was proven under enzo to some extent. Even we were were pissing the league people weren’t happy. You have to adapt to your fanbase but unfortunately we have owners that couldn’t care less about that. 

[Blue-fox]

Fast, direct football with a solid defence. And by direct it doesn’t mean hoofing the ball up to a big striker all the time. We can be direct whilst keeping it on the deck aswell as going long sometimes. 

[Blue-fox]

Basically, something that gets you off your seat rather than fall asleep in it 😂

This is what King Power want.

 

What do you want to watch? 

The Man City style of football stopped being as effective these past few years. We're returning to quick, direct attacking alongside managing possession well. 

[coolhandfox]

Winning football.

Exactly. Anyone pretending anyone else is deluding themselves.

[Mike the Metal Ed]

I don't mind so long as it leads to chance creation as an end goal.

 

If that involves building some pressure with the ball, fine, but let me see a plan.

[Langston]

I couldn't care how we play as long as we have a few players who give a shit and seem to actually enjoy the experience of playing for us tbh..

My thought exactly! I don't care the style, I want wins!
