Frustrating because he randomly plays very well like that but follows it up with a lazy half assed effort. He only played well because he finally realized daka was winning that battle. He’ll do nothing again in the next game 

Hopefully if we do use him it’ll be alongside Daka, so the centre halves can’t just follow him through into midfield every time without a care in the world. Honestly I think I’d be tempted to start him over Mukasa as he seems to have lost that initial confidence he had

Based on past experience with Ayew you’re dead right. On the plus side he may have just realised he needs to play well to get any sort of deal for next season with another club. He’ll go to a London club I’m guessing, like a Watford or  QPR

If we play this team we will get pumped more than 90s Daniella Westbrooks stomach. Monga and Fatawu at wing backs. Jesus, Mary and Joseph.

 

Stolarzcyk

Ricardo Vestergaard Lascelles Thomas

James Mukasa Winks

Fatawu Daka Ayew

or 

 

Poole

Mills Carey Hill Lewis

Agnew Thompson Blake

Gee Walsh Ormondroyd

[Sly]

It’ll likely be the team that finished against Sheffield Wednesday I’d imagine.

O’Neill won league cups and top ten finishes with Guppy and Impey as wing backs, neither got their shorts dirty, it can be done.

[Scanchez]

A nice little 1-1 to keep the fans happy.

Because that system is working well currently.

Boy do I hope JJ is back for this. And fit.

It's doing alright recently to be fair. Results haven't match performances.

 

Playing 3 defenders a light weight CM and 6 attacking players is a ballsy choice  Maybe we can end with that after we've shipped 2 goals from absolutely nothing haha.

We need to win games my friend. Get bodies up the field in the opposition half where they can do the most harm to the opposition.  Got to take chances. Swansea out on the beach.

Teams in this league with 'nothing to play for' tend to get results.

They play with more freedom.

Players try things that they normally wouldn't, and pull stuff off that would normally not be done.

 

It's been proven time and time again (it seems, in the Championship, especially) that teams 'on the beach' play better!

 

We're basically screwed

[FosseSpark]

if we play Monga and Fatawu as wing backs with Winks holding then a police report for an aggravated assault will be filed about 3.45. '11 welshmen seen kicking a dead horse when it is down'

We need a Tifo of this or one massive arrow

But then you'd miss them all running to the other side so that the arrows carried on pointing the right way! This is brilliant, and I needed a laugh. Thanks.

26+ years ago, come on mate, you must know that is just absolutely not applicable to the modern game. It’d be the same as asking for a 325 in that era as it worked in the 60’s

[SB87_LCFC]

Think the team selection has to be to play on the front foot, this side to side football isn't getting us anywhere, in flashes at Wednesday on Monday when we put it in the right areas they couldn't deal with us, but we need to be more direct. 

 

If it was me, I would probably go with

 

Begovic 

 

Hamza 

Vestergaard

Okoli

Thomas

 

Skipp

Winks

Mukasa

 

Fatawu

Mavididi

Daka

 

 

 

 

[filbertway]

On reflection, playing a balanced team and dominating games isn't actually the one.

 

Vietes

 

Fatawu

Vestergaard

Lascelles

BDCR

 

Winks

Mukasa

 

Ayew

 

Hutchinson

Daka

Monga

 

Surprised Rowett hasnt considered this. If the clown has a brain he will take heed of my advice.

 

Alternatively, pick 10 defenders and we dont really need to attack but we will just win each game 1-0. Dno how but thats how it works apparently.

 

Basically anything but what were seeing. Because despite the clear domination. Its the ruddy formation thats the issue and not the available players.

Thought i'd get a bit of solace from looking at some of the architects of our shiteness and how they are currently doing, hoping they'd have all played utter shite - in some way explaining the hole we find ourselves in. 

But no. They are all thriving and contributing to relative success at their new clubs. 

 

what the **** is wrong with leicester city....

 

Faes - played every game of Monaco's recent 5 game winning run which sees them on the verge of Champs League spots, including beating PSG at home. 

El Khannous - 8 goals in 34 games for 4th placed VFB Stutgaart. Reaching last 16 of Europa League

Justin - 22 League games for Leeds who look like avoiding relegation. Going to Wembley for the FA Cup Semi Final

Ndidi - 25 games for Besiktas - top 4 in Turkey. Just got injured in his last game

Coulibaly - getting regular minutes for Sassuolo - top 10 in Serie A. 

Edouard - has fired Lens to 2nd in Ligue 1 on the verge of the champs league. With a goal every 2 games. I mean you literally couldn't make it up. He barely moved in a Leicester shirt.

Vardy - voted Serie A player of the month in November. 

Soumare - getting minutes for Al Duhail - Top 6 in Qatar 

 

So of all those that have moved on we have someone in the top half / top 6 of Bundesliga, Ligue 1, Superliga and Serie A and players helping poor sides avoid relegation and have good cup runs 

 

Just to be clear, the players with us now and those in your list deserve criticism for how they performed with us (Vardy aside).

 

But this is why I roll my eyes when I read posts basically calling them shit, pub players, Anstey Nomads etc etc without the context and nuance. 
 

Some of those like Soumare getting minutes for a team in Qatar is a bit of a stretch and BEK I think we knew there was a player in there.

 

The ones I really think illustrate the point very well are Faes (self explanatory), Justin (looked absolutely done) and Edouard for the reasons you say. Literally it shows how this club is just a cesspit for players. 
 

This is why I do expect a Edouard type bounce back from Daka. And Nelson and Stolarcryk I think will flourish once they get out this summer. 
 

Others like Ricardo, Ayew, BDR and Vestergaard are just at the end of their careers so I don’t expect them to go and do well elsewhere but yeah, Daka I think will and I feel Nelson and Stolarcryk will be playing at a higher level than us next season.

[Lionator]

The team just looks a bit better with Vestergaard in it?? Is that how bad we are??

Pep and Enzo played 325 for much of the games. Play full backs as wing backs unless they’re good and ours ain’t, and it’s 532 and you can’t get out.

[CosbehFox]

I’m sure we will see the Skipp & Winks axis of terror again 

[StanSP]

I know they're just snippets, and it's overshadowed by the malaise we're all feeling, but what is the point showing stuff like this? 

 

They all look so unbothered and just strolling about.
