Tom12345 Posted 18 May 2021 Share Posted 18 May 2021 Would prefer to play 4 at the back with Castagne as RB and Ricardo coming in on right mid. Thomas can be LB with Albrighton at LM. Playing 3 at the back leaves us exposed. Not sure about starting Maddison over Nachos. With both Vardy and Nachos, we can press and stretch Chelsea. Kasper Castagne Fofana Soyuncu Thomas Ricardo Ndidi Tielemans Albrighton Nacho Vardy Oh well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filbertway Posted 18 May 2021 Share Posted 18 May 2021 Would love it to be 4 2 3 1 but itll be 5 4 1 with Vardy isolated and us sat in real deep hoping for a bit of luck again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxesWalk Posted 18 May 2021 Share Posted 18 May 2021 (edited) 4 minutes ago, Foxy_Bear said: Looks like it could be that "box" midfield we used briefly around Xmas. Kasper Castagne Fofana Soyuncu Albrighton Thomas Tielemans Ndidi Perez Maddison Vardy Yeah I think it’s this. They caused us problems in the middle with Mount dropping into a gap between the midfield and defence, when their defenders pushed up we ended up outnumbered if either Fofana or Soy didn’t push up to Mount, and if they did it left space for Werner. I would guess our midfielders will look to play a little deeper and Vardy forward to make them think twice about pushing extra players up Edited 18 May 2021 by FoxesWalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He always found a reason to criticise but his scoring meant he couldn't drop him. Two games without a goal or an assist and he's toast! I agree with you; it doesn't take much for Brendan to drop Kelechi; given his recent scoring record I'm still surprised he has done so tonight. He did have a bad game though on Saturday and it seems that's all it takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s the only one other than Tielemens who id back to strike a shot well. Madders scuffs everything, Perez and Vardy can’t finish their breakfast recently!! Not sure about this at all but Im going to try and not moan If this is you trying not to moan, it needs more work. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t be silly..... what he’s done is give him options from the bench. Chelsea had a lot of the ball in MF at the weekend so he’s probably looking to condense that area of the pitch, keep it tight and then if we are still in the game with 20 or so to go bring Kelch on.... It will be purely tactical not because he doesn’t rate him..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted 18 May 2021 Share Posted 18 May 2021 What has happened to Dennis Praet. He used to play well with Tielemans. Thought he would be a bit more useful than Maddison tonight. Ah well. Got my lucky socks on so fingers crossed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detroit Blues Posted 18 May 2021 Share Posted 18 May 2021 (edited) 12 minutes ago, ttfn said: Pulisic is a quality player, I don’t know why he doesn’t start every week. He's injury prone. His pace and ability to stop so abruptly comes at the expense of his hamstrings. Tuchel said that he played the full 90 mins earlier in the week and picked up a knock, so they were keeping an eye on him. I thought he (and Chilwell) played very well when they came on. Hopefully, with Maddison in the starting XI, we can hold onto the ball a little more and dictate the game. I am not sure we can sit back and defend like we did during the FA Cup and expect to keep a clean sheet. We are going to need to get on the scoresheet earlier and look to hurt them on the counter.

SixtiesFox Posted 18 May 2021 Share Posted 18 May 2021 Perhaps Brendan thinks playing Vardy centrally might just re-ignite him. A goal or two for Vards tonight and we;ll be in dreamland. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it will wrong foot them to have Maddison instead being a bit more slippery. Nacho on second half IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
