foxfanazer Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 Same system as the arsenal game? Nuge not in the squad
benpicko Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 Strange playing 5 in defence against Villa of all teams but we played well with this squad last time so, whatever Think we'd have been better with De Laet and Schlupp rather than Simpson and Konchesky considering how often they went forward last match, that way we could play Albrighton too
queensguardfox Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 Although we didnt win against arsenal, i suppose it still stands as dont change a winning formula. Very happy with selection.
shailen Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 Probably gonna set up this way for the rest of the season. Interesting to see how it works today,against a team who are not gonna be as much on the ffront foot
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 Yeah what's wrong with Nugent? Right, we know Huth's cup tied but where's Nugent???? You two do know that we only have a limited amount of spaces on the bench?
Alex_LCFC Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 Everyone moans about nugent, but as soon as hes left out the squad people start questioning it??
benpicko Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 You two do know that we only have a limited amount of spaces on the bench? Yeah but Nugent's usually on the bench regardless and it makes no sense to have Vardy on there over him
ousefox Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 If we'd have started with 5 at the back today without doing so vs arsenal I'd have loved to have seen the reactions on here
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 Yeah what's wrong with Nugent? Want a list??*
benpicko Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 Everyone moans about nugent, but as soon as hes left out the squad people start questioning it?? Or maybe the people questioning him not being in the squad aren't the people who generally moan about him?
bovril Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 You two do know that we only have a limited amount of spaces on the bench? What?! I'm sure I'll get labelled a hater but that's a huge mistake of Pearson to bring such a small bench.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 Yeah but Nugent's usually on the bench regardless and it makes no sense to have Vardy on there over him Could be the perfect game to bring Vardy on in the hope he nicks a goal / puts in a good shift to try and regain some kind of confidence.
Number 6 Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 Another game to get more familiar with the system which will inevitably be used against Everton and Man City. If it works against a team Like Villa then I expect we'll use it for the rest of the season.
Mark Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 As good as we played against Arsenal I can't see the benefit of defensive full backs in that formation, especially against a team who can't score goals.
LexicalChoice Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 Strange playing 5 in defence against Villa of all teams but we played well with this squad last time so, whatever Think we'd have been better with De Laet and Schlupp rather than Simpson and Konchesky considering how often they went forward last match, that way we could play Albrighton too Agreed. Not so much about RDL - I think Simpson is an all round better choice. But definitely need to get Albrighton in there... along with Cam, James and Mahrez - that's a very strong mid. Come on city!!
Captain... Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 I know it did well against Arsenal, but this isn't arsenal this is a Villa team short on confidence and without a manager. I suppose we don't know how they will react without Lambert if throw on Benteke he will probably rediscover his form and tear us apart if we leave too much space at the back. Any news on Villa team?

If it works against a team Like Villa then I expect we'll use it for the rest of the season. He realises its the lack of clean sheets that are costing us. if wr can still create chances using this system against arsenal, it should in theory work against villa and everton. #coyb
DennisNedry Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 If Nugent isn't injured then like people have said there's no reason at all to have Vardy on the bench over him. I like the first XI though.
teblin Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 As good as we played against Arsenal I can't see the benefit of defensive full backs in that formation, especially against a team who can't score goals. Gives mahrez some freedom I guess.
glenelgfox Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 Another week of watching our full backs turn it over and fail to offer any attacking options!
