Trickyfox Posted 10 July 2012 Posted 10 July 2012 A potential formation for Pearson to use during the up and coming campaign. Schmeichel De-laet Morgan Ledger Konch Marshall Danns King Nugent Vardy Beckford I think (for what its worth) he will start with a 4-4-2 – maybe drinkwater in there with the three mentioned above and with Nugent and Beckford starting up front. He went with that last season and I think he will stick with it. But the 4-3-3 formation above would be a very strong attacking set up which would unsettle teams. Vardy just reminds me of Carole for England and Liverpool upsetting defenders and dragging players over the pitch.
Big Dave Posted 10 July 2012 Posted 10 July 2012 Schmeichel De-laet Morgan Ledger Konch Marshall Danns King Nugent Vardy Beckford Can see a formation like this being used, but perhaps a fluid 4-4-2 / 4-3-3 with Vardy playing attacking left sided rather than through the centre.

He is nothing like Andy Carroll however I do agree with he'll be dragging defenders over the pitch because his movement and positioning are top notch.
foxes2011 Posted 10 July 2012 Posted 10 July 2012 im betting Pearson will start with a basic 4-4-2 as that is his prefered formation but i feel it is an outdated system and would like to see 5 in midfield either 3-5-2, 4-5-1 or 4-3-2-1
Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 10 July 2012 Posted 10 July 2012 I think a more attack-minded formation should definitely be used, so the 4-3-3 is good. Other teams have a lot of success by getting upfront and just piling on the pressure until the opposition slip up - it'd be nice if we were able to carry this off. I'm really looking forward to seeing Vardy next season and hopefully he'll be upfront with Nugent and Beckford - if his ability to re-gain possession from a lost ball is as good as his actual goal-scoring ability then hopefully it'll make weaknesses in the midfield less of a problem and we can play much more attacking as a team. Rather that than getting 1-0 up and just praying that's the final outcome - witnessed that too many times, and doesn't usually end well. Either 4-3-3 or a new formation I'm proposing... "The Broom". It's your basic 1-1-1-7. Get everyone upfront and see what happens. And apologise to Kasper when it all goes to tits.
AKCJ Posted 10 July 2012 Posted 10 July 2012 I think we'll play a 4-2-3-1 Schmeichel De Laet Morgan *New CB* Koncheskey James/Drinkwater Danns Marshall King/*New CAM* Vardy Beckford/Nugent

Mark_w Posted 10 July 2012 Posted 10 July 2012 When will Pearson learn to adapt to the modern game and realise that centre-back's are a thing of the past.

nickelbyfox Posted 10 July 2012 Posted 10 July 2012 The broom! hahahaha Schmeichel would be the sweeper wouldnt he
wellyfox Posted 10 July 2012 Posted 10 July 2012 Move the kop to the family stand. Should get us maximum points at home then we just gotta worry about the away games.
m00nie Posted 10 July 2012 Posted 10 July 2012 can see it being 4-4-2. with defence more or less picked (only exception would be if a new cb comes in for SSL) Schmeichel De-laet Morgan Ledger Konch then gally/marshall and dyer/ vardy used for wings.. (maybe waghorn) and 2 from the others for central. gally/Marshall (Danns/wellens/drinkwater /james/King) dyer/ Vardy then up front becks n nuge.. Nugent Beckford only worries there is its a bit like for likes ..missing mobile target man for example..
Christoph Posted 10 July 2012 Posted 10 July 2012 4-2-3-1 would be ideal but we don't really have that strong commanding striker that can hold the ball up well, so I could see it being 4-4-2.
foxoffderby Posted 10 July 2012 Posted 10 July 2012 I think he will choose a mixture of 442 and 433 depending on form and if we play home or away. I can't see Pearson trying to be too clever, in a way a good thing
Jace Posted 10 July 2012 Posted 10 July 2012 Is anybody planning to start a 'Who should be on the bench' thread?
Bryn Posted 10 July 2012 Posted 10 July 2012 I don't feel like he has brought in players to play in a 4-4-2. I think Pearson has always favoured 4-4-2 in the past because it's a system to which a wide variety of players can adapt, and which is easy for limited players to get to grips with (case in point: Hodgson's England). The players he's brought in are dynamic, creative central midfielders and wide players who are more likely to attack the box than hit the byline and whip a ball in. If he wanted 4-4-2 as his main priority I think he'd have gone out and bought a big striker, some wingers who can get the ball high into the box and more robust, athletic but less creatively minded centre mids. Schmeichel de Laet Morgan St. Ledger(?) Konchesky James Drinkwater Danns Vardy---------------------------Marshall Nugent I'm speculating, I could be totally off, but it doesn't feel like he's building a 4-4-2.
beemeroo Posted 10 July 2012 Posted 10 July 2012 5-5-3 Flood the defense, the midfield and attack. Two in the nets for good measure. We'll walk this league!
