HighPeakFox Posted 25 October 2020 Share Posted 25 October 2020 Plan will be to put Vardy on at some point I would imagine. The way some of you lose your heads before the game is beyond belief. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StriderHiryu Posted 25 October 2020 Share Posted 25 October 2020 Before we comment on it, let's see how the game goes first. This system is so unusual it seems to me like it was a planned tactic specifically for this match, a bit like the Man City game. Also speaking of Man City, they have used this type of system before too, playing neither Aguero or Jesus and still winning games convincingly. Of course it's a massively high risk strategy but it's so strange that it makes me intrigued. If you are Arteta right now, you would be extremely confused as to what's going on!

oxtonfox Posted 25 October 2020 Share Posted 25 October 2020 Embarrassing defeat coming up, I strongly fear. Unless Rodgers produces a miracle rabbit here. The message he is sending to his remaining strikers here is ominous. I don't trust you essentially. Vardy clearly not fit and I'd be surprised if he bothers bringing him on unless we are just one down with a few minutes left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are not the team of 15/16 - we play some lovely football when we play our game, why bend over for Arsenal who are nothing special? It's small minded mentality.

Crazy Kop Corner Posted 25 October 2020 Share Posted 25 October 2020 It seems as though Brendan likes to get to 60 / 70 minutes and then to go for it. They are very high risk tactics which have not always come off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterborofox Posted 25 October 2020 Share Posted 25 October 2020 Odd team imo Hope Barnes does well but no doubt he'll get chances, unsure if he will take them tho judging by his finishing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why we will never kick on under him. I can’t get my head around your second sentence here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hejammy Posted 25 October 2020 Share Posted 25 October 2020 (edited) I'm not convinced about Barnes upfront, I don't think he has that instinct like Vardy, he is best running onto defenders rather than instinctively finishing without needing too many touches. Hopefully he proves me wrong today! Edited 25 October 2020 by hejammy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnes as a lone forward Wow really? This would be asking for trouble. They are a decent side and we have to accept that we will be strongest when breaking. Nacho would be isolated and would break our attacks down unfortunately. Im not worried at all. In fact I’m going to go out on a limb and say this will be a master stroke from Brendan and there will be a thread started about Barnes being Vardys successor... just watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim5000 Posted 25 October 2020 Share Posted 25 October 2020 Antonio at West Ham is showing the Premier League what you need from a lone striker, Barnes is the complete opposite in every way. He’s nippy but can’t finish from 2 yards out, and that’s about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxes96 Posted 25 October 2020 Share Posted 25 October 2020 I’m i the only one thinking this might be Maddison as a false 9 like fabregas for Spain all those years ago with Barnes and Praet either side of him? Will be interesting to see, hopefully we can keep it tight for the first hour then bring vardy on against tiring legs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
