melrose Posted 18 October 2014 Posted 18 October 2014 Anyone know what time is kickoff?...can't find it anywhere!
Kitchandro Posted 18 October 2014 Posted 18 October 2014 And Schlupp does more defensive work than Vardy as well hence his inclusion. Think Welbeck of England. We've got two defensive minded midfielders in the midfield 3. We're not desperate for one of our front 3 to sprint all the way back to his own box. If you're playing this formation the front 3 should be in attacking positions for the majority of the time, otherwise it isn't working.
bluesbrothers Posted 18 October 2014 Posted 18 October 2014 Can't believe what i'm reading re; Team Selection. Would much rather have Vardy running at a tiring crap defense than right from the start. Albrighton is here for his supposedly good delivery - and I think we all trust Ulloa to convert chances. Vardy, Nuge and a midfielder to come off the bench? Have some confidence in the game plan, for christ's sake.
ScouseFox Posted 18 October 2014 Author Posted 18 October 2014 seen as kitch agreed with me i'll agree with kitch and say we are much more likely to win a game like this, with a crap defence on their side, 3-1 or 4-2 or something than we are to keep a clean sheet and nick something from a set piece, which seems like the aim from how we've set up here.
maddog Posted 18 October 2014 Posted 18 October 2014 Whilst I understand the ideal of winning home games and keeping it tight away from home to draw games, playing one up front against a piss poor Newcastle side does seem rather negative.
Kitchandro Posted 18 October 2014 Posted 18 October 2014 They're having a bad patch that doesn't make them bad players. They'll finish at least 5 places above Burnley. They are bad players though. Who do actually rate in their team? Their defence is slow and their midfield has very little quality.
Nick Posted 18 October 2014 Posted 18 October 2014 I'm on my iPad away from home foxesplayer won't work on it - anybody got a radio link please?
kingfox Posted 18 October 2014 Posted 18 October 2014 Another tough midfield battle, that we have to try and get on top of. We have the energy in James & Drinkwater, while Cambiasso hopefully has a calm influence & goes in for some challenges. Surprised we aren't starting one of Nugent or Vardy, but big chance for Albrighton to show why we signed him in the first place. This could go two ways, Newcastle get on top in midfield, have the possession & Ulloa get's isolated and we lose. Or our midfield get on top of their's, our formation turns into an attacking 4-3-3 & we scare the shit out of them on the counter attack. Hopefully we at least pick up 3 points from our two away games, I'd be happy with that.
Captain... Posted 18 October 2014 Posted 18 October 2014 We have been conceding too many goals, Pearson has looked to address that as our gung ho approach is fine in a game where we have nothing to lose. I think he is also aware of how much this approach is taking out of his players and we can't play every minute of every game at full tilt, we will look to control this game and take our chances. Albrighton can put the crosses in, James was our best taker of a set-piece last season, Cambiasso will help control and win the midfield battle and Schlupp and Albrighton will stop our full backs from being exposed. Drinkwater will be key today driving the ball forwards from midfield and getting forwards to support Ulloa. £5 on him to score first.

HesNotGudjonsonn2 Posted 18 October 2014 Posted 18 October 2014 Saw earlier that Stan James are offering better odds on Tom Hopper and Jack Barmby to score first than every one of our players except Ullua, Wood and Nugent. Guess they don't do much research.
SystonFox Posted 18 October 2014 Posted 18 October 2014 Just heard some news which might have a MASSIVE bearing on this match... It's no good talking about it. Tell us
ADK Posted 18 October 2014 Posted 18 October 2014 Pearson picked the same formation I suggested, glad he listened to me.
StanSP Posted 18 October 2014 Posted 18 October 2014 Pardew sacked? someone said that these 5 games are the easiest? Cisse has Ebola? It's no good talking about it. Tell us Nah. Kick off at 4pm.
