LCFC FOX Posted 25 August 2012 Posted 25 August 2012 Rite I'm not having a dig at Pearson because I believe he is the man to take us up. We are playing brilliant football at the minute but the goals are just not coming. But what I do believe more goals will come if we play 4-3-3. Just like Blackpool. They have no trouble scoring and I'm pretty confident they will win the league this year. Just with the quality wingers they have and a good finisher in the middle to convert. Ince and Phillips I think are the two best wingers in this league. With someone as good as Kevin Phillips in the middle. I think we have better central midfielders than Blackpool and would provide even more service with the football we play. Also Swansea they played brilliant football and converted chances. Scott Sinclair and Nathan Dyer on the wings with Borini in the middle (in the championship) then they proved they could still do it in the Premiership with Graham. I believe Marshall and Knockaert are good enough to be like these wingers and can provide Vardy/Nugent/Beckford in the middle the opportunities they need. Plus Drinkwater, King and Danns in the middle would provide quality support. Then with St Ledger and Whitbread coming fit the defense will become stronger. We are playing great football but changing to 4-3-3 like all the better teams will create MORE GOALS. Thoughts?

You do realise to play a 4-3-3 you have to have a very fluid philosophy and with Leicester we don't have that. 4-3-3 is a excellent formation IF you have the players to pass the ball and close players down quick, we simply don't have that.
Trav Le Bleu Posted 25 August 2012 Posted 25 August 2012 You mean the 4-3-3 we played under Sven and which everyone complained about? The formation that had everyone crying out, 4-4-2? I'm not against it, per se, just pointing out there's more to it than that.
Kitchandro Posted 25 August 2012 Posted 25 August 2012 I think that formation only calls for one striker and we've got about 6.

If you have been to the last two matches you would have seen we play brilliant quick passing football. Just can't create the finishing chances. We do have that I think that formation only calls for one striker and we've got about 6. True but Vardy, Schlupp and Beckford could be used out wider as well.
Kitchandro Posted 25 August 2012 Posted 25 August 2012 True but Vardy, Schlupp and Beckford could be used out wider as well. In theory yes, but they'd be wasted as goalscorers. Schlupp played a few times out there last season and I didn't think it suited him, similarly Beckford and Vardy are goalscoring (or at least they're supposed to be) strikers who should play through the middle to have their best effect. I'm not a fan of strikers out wide, I think Sinclair and Dyer at Swansea are specific kinds of attacking wingers who are suited to that formation.
Babylon Posted 25 August 2012 Posted 25 August 2012 How does playing 4-3-3 make your strikers convert piss easy chances? I presume you have put money on Blackpool, or are you just using hindsight?
LCFC FOX Posted 25 August 2012 Author Posted 25 August 2012 How does playing 4-3-3 make your strikers convert piss easy chances? I presume you have put money on Blackpool, or are you just using hindsight? I didn't say they would convert piss easy chances, I said they would create more chances
Babylon Posted 25 August 2012 Posted 25 August 2012 I didn't say they would convert piss easy chances, I said they would create more chances We are already creating lots of chances and missing them.

But if that's the case sell some of them. Make a squad with better wingers. I think we should give it a go one game.

LCFC_FAN_1995 Posted 25 August 2012 Posted 25 August 2012 If we are playing brilliant football there is no need for a change of formation.

Kasper De Leat Morgan Whitbread/St Ledger Koncheskey Danns King Drinkwater Knockaert Vardy Marshall YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LCFC FOX Posted 25 August 2012 Author Posted 25 August 2012 We are already creating lots of chances and missing them. Not good chances, We get around the area and try pass it. They don't dare shoot. They create 2/3 real goal scoring opportunities a game this season
LCFC FOX Posted 25 August 2012 Author Posted 25 August 2012 If we are playing brilliant football there is no need for a change of formation. The brilliant football is not getting us goals. The football we play would be more suited in 4-3-3 in my opinion
kingfox Posted 25 August 2012 Posted 25 August 2012 We have the options to play 4-3-3 and we have the seven subs so frustration in the team won't be such a problem. However 4-3-3 means I think we should sign that defensive midfielder some people want(don't speak Babylon). We could play. Danns Drinkwater King Marshall Nugent Vardy OR Danns Drinkwater King Marshall Vardy/Nugent Knockaert OR *NEW DM* Drinkwater King Marshall Vardy/Nugent Knockaert/Vardy Simples
LCFC_FAN_1995 Posted 25 August 2012 Posted 25 August 2012 The brilliant football is not getting us goals. The football we play would be more suited in 4-3-3 in my opinion Only a matter of time until we do, it's only been 3 games...
Babylon Posted 25 August 2012 Posted 25 August 2012 Not good chances, We get around the area and try pass it. They don't dare shoot. They create 2/3 real goal scoring opportunities a game this season Not good chances? You think Vardys two today, Nugents 3 yard header. King being deflected over weren't good chances? Or the Nugent, Vardy, King and Dyer chances against Charlton. Absolute clear and easy chances.
Dr The Singh Posted 25 August 2012 Posted 25 August 2012 I don't think formation is the issue, we re just not converting our chances and letting goals in
indierich06 Posted 25 August 2012 Posted 25 August 2012 Not good chances, We get around the area and try pass it. They don't dare shoot. They create 2/3 real goal scoring opportunities a game this season We had three cleared off the line today, I don't know how much more clean cut it can get. Besides, even if what you say is true (it's not), how would playing 433 make the players not pass it in the area or shoot more often? There's nothing wrong with our system, there's nothing wrong with our players. We need to start converting the masses of chances we're creating, simple as.
Jace Posted 25 August 2012 Posted 25 August 2012 Does anybody remember 1 year ago when we would play 4-3-3 with Sven?
Dr The Singh Posted 25 August 2012 Posted 25 August 2012 Does anybody remember 1 year ago when we would play 4-3-3 with Sven? Yeah it was good!
Jace Posted 25 August 2012 Posted 25 August 2012 Yeah it was good! That Derby home game was pretty immense!
shade Posted 25 August 2012 Posted 25 August 2012 I think we should sack it and play a good old fashioned.... schmeichel de laet Morgan whitbread danns drinkwater james vardy nugent beckford schlupp
