Donut Posted 20 March 2015 Posted 20 March 2015 Weve tried 4 at the back, 5 at the back, 4 in midfield, 3-4-3 (alledgedly), and played the diamond. And yet weve never really given a 4-2-3-1 a chance, whilst being one of the most successful formations used in football today. I just find this weird. A team of: ----------------------------------Schwarzer De Laet----------Wasilewski---------------Huth----------------Konchesky ---------------------------James--------Cambiasso -----Mahrez--------------------Nugent------------------------------Schlupp ---------------------------------Kramaric Now its probably all far too late to be throwing another formation into the equation, but surely this would have given us a bit of everything that weve been lacking: Extra legs in midfield, with Nugent being able to drop back and make a 5 if needed to snuff out attacks before they reach our defence, whilst also protecting Cambiasso's fitness if he is likely to play Going forward it allows Mahrez to cut in from wide and give De Laet overlap opportunities and opportunities to create 2 v 1 situations with him to drag defenders away It gives much needed support to Kramaric who is often isolated in the other formations we play Ideally with Nugents energy (even if he blew up after 65, you could still use Vardy thereafter to do the same role id have thought) it gives us the option to press from the front, stop the short distribution and win the ball back higher up the pitch. Its too late now though to try and impress another tactical change, i know that.

His prediction for when we went to Old Trafford was us getting a draw. Not many pundits would put the bottom of the league team getting something at Old Trafford. Clearly he has lost his marbles
RowlattsFox Posted 20 March 2015 Posted 20 March 2015 We've tried every formation this season and we've been shit with all of them. 4231 is just a posh modern way of saying 442 and is pretty much what we started the season playing, with Nugent behind ulloa. I do think that's what we need to play, especially at home.

Clearly he has lost his marbles He's going to look like a genius if we somehow stay up, he's backed us a lot hasn't he. Maybe Nige doesn't like him and is losing games to tarnish his career in punditry.
Nod.E Posted 20 March 2015 Posted 20 March 2015 If Pearson's post-match comments from the Hull game were anything to go by, I expect to see changes.I reckon we could see the likes of Schlupp and Kramaric lose out to Konchesky and Nugent respectively. --------------MSRDL--WM--RH--MU--PK-----RM--EC--MJ--JV--------------DN
Silverdaz Posted 20 March 2015 Posted 20 March 2015 I think Lawrence might play as he didnt play for the U21's this week
Guest Posted 20 March 2015 Posted 20 March 2015 not quite sure what NP sees in Lawrence at this stage but he's the man at the training ground.

Monsell1976 Posted 20 March 2015 Posted 20 March 2015 not quite sure what NP sees in Lawrence at this stage but he's the man at the training ground.His missus never wrote on Twitter when he was sacked
st albans fox Posted 20 March 2015 Posted 20 March 2015 His missus never wrote on Twitter when he was sacked You mean 'his mum'!
one F in Fox Posted 20 March 2015 Posted 20 March 2015 Can't for the life of me see why people are saying lets go for it! that would be absolute suicide! I can just imagine the meltdown on here when we get hammered playing that way, sure we all romanticise about our team playing attacking football and "going for it", but surely that isn't the way to go. I know playing with our cautious approach hasn't done us any good so far, but that's exactly how we won there in the cup game!
Monsell1976 Posted 20 March 2015 Posted 20 March 2015 You mean 'his mum'!Not on Twitter, someone said he bird, his mum either way, that's why Lawrence gets in front of albriighton, it's not because he's better, he may be one day, but not now.
iancognito Posted 20 March 2015 Posted 20 March 2015 http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11712/9766821/mersons-predictions-liverpool-to-beat-man-utd-on-super-sunday hahahaha Bloody hell is he still addicted? I want to be positive but I think Merson's trying to get some more money in the Sky coffers with that prediction
Stevosevic Posted 20 March 2015 Posted 20 March 2015 Fair play to people still going, don't know how you do it. The expense and time to watch that shower.
Legend_in_blue Posted 20 March 2015 Posted 20 March 2015 I don't give a monkey's if we get hammered tomorrow, just showing an inkling of attacking intent would be an improvement, regardless of the result.
GingerrrFox Posted 20 March 2015 Posted 20 March 2015 I don't give a monkey's if we get hammered tomorrow, just showing an inkling of attacking intent would be an improvement, regardless of the result. I'd rather we were absolutely woeful and had no attacking intent but scraped a 1-0 to be honest. Wins a win at this point.
Monsell1976 Posted 20 March 2015 Posted 20 March 2015 I'd rather we were absolutely woeful and had no attacking intent but scraped a 1-0 to be honest. Wins a win at this point.Finally agree with you, don't mind how we play, as long as we win, just a bitter pill to swallow when we play like that with no reward.
gw_leics772 Posted 20 March 2015 Posted 20 March 2015 Taking my 9 yr old boy to first away game in London. Driving, any advice - looking like driving to Broxbourne station and getting train in, then not having to risk going m25 and getting stuffed for traffic and parking, then just head to pub near the ground, hopefully with away fans and a lack of knife fights Im feeling better now, its actually a win win, either we win and its back on (sort of, but at least enough for a great day) or we don't and I can finally get over this season. Its the hope that hurts the most

I know playing with our cautious approach hasn't done us any good so far, but that's exactly how we won there in the cup game! How on earth was our approach in the cup cautious? I would honestly rather lose 6-2 having attacked than 2-0 having sat back. Maybe a thumping might get their arses in gear.
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 21 March 2015 Posted 21 March 2015 Come on Leicester!!!!!!!!!! It's the final countdown let's show some fight
SeattleShane Posted 21 March 2015 Posted 21 March 2015 I'd rather we were absolutely woeful and had no attacking intent but scraped a 1-0 to be honest. Wins a win at this point. But to score a goal you need to get one !
seenitall Posted 21 March 2015 Posted 21 March 2015 Ulloa and Kram up front 442 - gotta be worth a try - knowing our luck he'll finally do it when we're down and they'll be dynamite together
Fox92 Posted 21 March 2015 Posted 21 March 2015 http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11712/9766821/mersons-predictions-liverpool-to-beat-man-utd-on-super-sunday hahahaha Alot of Mersons predictions have been us getting a result.

Clearly he has lost his marbles Merson speaks very highly of Pearson, I believe they are still friends. After all they did play on the same team.
