Take his (Enzo) ball and go home.
Since that won’t be happening, he really needs to:
- Start Coady and Yunus (preferably central).
- Sit Faes and Daka, and Wilf if he’s going to continue playing him in a role that just isn’t working.
- Start Cannon. Daka is struggling big time, and even if he’s doing some of the little things right that our other strikers don’t do, sending him back on the pitch after he’s missed so many sitters seems cruel to his own mental health and development. So many people say “Start Vardy.” Well, if we’re being honest, Vards has missed plenty of sitters this year as well. For me, his impact is felt more from a substitution point. And for the love of god, keep Kel off the matchday squad. He’s been checked out for ages. As has Dennis Praet.
- Get Albrighton on the pitch for part of all of these last 4 games. He’s the only reliable crosser we have on the entire squad. I know that’s embarrassing, but it’s true and he needs to be on the pitch putting those crosses into Cannon or Vardy’s path.
- Involve some of the academy kids. The “want” to be on the pitch and prove one’s self coupled with the enormous talent already on the pitch is more than enough to win these matches. Putting players like Kel, Praet, Faes, Wilf, hell even KDH at times, on the pitch is a lot less helpful to playing actual winning football than injecting some youth and desire.
