Tommy Fresh Posted 13 February 2022 Share Posted 13 February 2022 Expecting us to get a good beating here based on Rodgers seemingly never learning anything on how to approach these. But it would be typical City to actually pull of an unbelievably big win here when we aren't expecting much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not as much as us but they've still lost games they should have won. But because we've been inconsistent our fans talk as if we're playing top side. West Ham are a decent side but we can still get a result. Edited 13 February 2022 by Fox92 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 13 February 2022 Share Posted 13 February 2022 Antonio is bound to score against us, let’s go and attack them as we’re always going to concede. Get on the front foot and give them something to worry about, 3-2 win if we were to actually back ourselves, another defeat if we continue with the turgid, pedestrian, safety first set up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to go to games with my late neighbour. 60 years a foxes supporter. When we got promoted to the PL we were wondering whcih player we would take form the championship to the prem. Be both agree on shef wed's antoinio - he had score a great goal against us form the right wing - he was forceful. WE didn't go for him - he drifered to forest I think and then on to west ham. How I wish we had hired him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aus Fox Posted 13 February 2022 Share Posted 13 February 2022 Anyone know if the club or fans are planning anything as a mark of respect to the three supporters we have lost recently? For the lads who gave so much travelling home and away to back the boys, it would be a shame if the club don’t do something today. If they are not, will there be something organised? Scarfs up and When you’re smiling in the third minute would be amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vardy/Iheanacho were so good together but Rodgers would rather ditch that partnership to accommodate Barnes but it's not good enough. Two strikers every time for me. One up front has nothing to do with obsession - it's just the modern game. If you play with two up front, you have to make sacrifices elsewhere, or be prepared to be dominated in midfield. I don't think it's any surprise that Nacho was dropped when Barnes returned. I think Rodgers quite rightly wanted to return to a back 4. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not strong enough to keep the ball. Plus our wingers don't contribute enough goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it confers other indirect benefits and has been deployed to great success, you need a particular type of striker that is predisposed to it. We don't have that, it doesn't work for us yet we bewilderingly see it time and time again. I agree, I prefer an established strike partnership but it would be nice to have to option to go one up top. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
