How are you therefore going to do that without exposing our two struggling fullbacks to being doubled up on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course nothing personal meant but I think it's a reasonable analogy. Yes, some players have to take some of the blame but, Rodgers too has to acknowledge that he's not entirely blameless either instead of his egotistical aloofness and inability to be self critical. For me, he's a huge part of the reason why things have gone wrong for a long time now. If he can't acknowledge or personally understand that he is partly responsible then he won't learn any lessons, will continue on the same one trick pony philosophy and never become a top manager. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grebfromgrebland Posted 11 February 2022 Share Posted 11 February 2022 West ham will make us think we're good by giving us the ball. We'll get to their 18 yard box and pass it around there for a bit until we inevitably lose it cheaply. They'll then attack at speed leaving Kaspar with no chance when it's 3 on 2. West Ham will score at least 2. Moyes will out think Rodgers in every area of the pitch. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxes96 Posted 11 February 2022 Share Posted 11 February 2022 Schmeichel Ricardo - Amartey - Ndidi - Justin Tielemans - Soumaré - KDH Maddison - Daka - Lookman Can be a 4-3-3 or 4-1-2-1-2 (diamond) with Lookman pushed up alongside Daka and Maddison in the hole depending on how we’re getting on.

Dahnsouff Posted 11 February 2022 Share Posted 11 February 2022 (edited) I would like us to go 3 at the back (Dan, Wilf, JJ) Luke and Marc at WB 3 in the middle (KDH, Maddison, Soumare) 2 up top (Kel +Daka) edit Shocker, left out Ricky, in for Marc then Edited 11 February 2022 by Dahnsouff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Men against boys. Need all the additional height/ physicality we can manage. Also didn’t think Soumaré was too bad last night, better than he has been in recent weeks anyway.

Finnegan Posted 11 February 2022 Share Posted 11 February 2022 Said it in the Daka thread but, for me, I think only one formation actually gets our currently best players on the pitch and that's the diamond. I've not historically been a fan but I think we need to be looking at playing both Nacho and Daka and it's the best way of doing that. I genuinely think our best currently available eleven is something like: Kasper JJ, Amartey, Soyuncu, Thomas Ndidi Tielemans, KDH Maddison Nacho, Daka As I said in the other thread, Ndidi being able to actually sit and hold in front of the centre backs instead of being expected to commit further forward is much better for both him and our solidity. Also, KDH+Thomas and JJ+Tielemans are really good natural partnerships for balance. Thomas lacks the dynamism that KDH has, so Dewsbury Hall gets forward offering a bit of width there while Thomas covers. On the other side, Tielemans settles in and JJ overlaps, much like Youri linking up with Ricardo down that side during the peak of 19/20. Also think its the best shape to negate West Ham, who have mugged us off repeatedly in recent years. Sure up the middle of the park and defend narrow like we did in 15/16. Push them wide and don't let the likes of Bowen cut in. Don't quite trust Soyuncu and Amartey defending crosses to Antonio like we would Wes and Huth but it's still preferable to letting their whole front three/four run straight through the middle of our team. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowlattsFox Posted 11 February 2022 Share Posted 11 February 2022 I know we often joke about this but I do think this is a really big game, almost a must win. Need a good win to get fans back on side. 4 points from West Ham and Wolves, with a convincing win against Randers in between and we may have steadied the ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He brings the same short comings every season and as you said does not tend to learn. Outside of this club and it seems clubs that he has not managed he is held us as a elite manager. He believes the hype and that is why he is so poor in European football, and in the league, as any team he comes up against outwits him on a regular basis. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry_LCFC Posted 11 February 2022 Share Posted 11 February 2022 You realise just how bad the situation has become when we are all shitting ourselves about West Ham at home and expecting nothing out of it. That is not Leicester at all. BR has quite literally ruined us. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Renard Posted 11 February 2022 Share Posted 11 February 2022 West Ham are like the play ground bully for us. Brendon still hasn't devised a plan to counteract them, and if we continue to play against them wearing our tutu's and ballerina slippers, then it is going to be another bad day at the office. I'm going at least 0-3 at half-time just so I can prepare myself for the usual disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarkey123 Posted 11 February 2022 Share Posted 11 February 2022 In terms of going at teams, we have nothing. We focus our offensive play on the counter attack. Unfortunately our defence is so bad that we don’t get enough of them; as we’re picking the ball out the net instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
