I know we conceded with them on but it was much better once Ndidi and KDH on. Should've subbed on another striker for Vardy, it would've killed the game.

Yunus and Casadei were awful as a pairing and I hope we don't see them together again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is only effective if we allow it to be. We can go long, via Vestergaard or Faes hitting diagonal balls out to the wings, we could also go over the top of a press to negate what the opposition is trying to do. If Maresca wishes to prove a point, then he is going about it the right way, it will also erode the confidence of the players that he has worked so hard to instil. He has the right to follow his beliefs but knows there will be consequences adhering to this particular dogma. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrishlcfc Posted 30 November 2023 Share Posted 30 November 2023 Just got back from Sheffield. 1st game I’ve been to all season. I can’t get over how poorly we played. If they could finish I think 3/4-1 would’ve been a fair result. Had a great day and night in Sheffield though, brilliant place, West Street never disappoints.

Dan LCFC Posted 30 November 2023 Share Posted 30 November 2023 I still cannot believe we've served that up against a side so utterly dreadful. It's not like they were even good on the night, they were laughably bad for most of the game and we've not beaten them. An absolute crime of a showing from us. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had the better chances and should have been 3-0 up before we even woke up. It felt like a loss but in reality we were lucky to get the point based on clear cut chances.

You joke and that's your prerogative, i'm not even saying that style is right myself, but certain managers have stigmas, rightly or wrongly, get called dinosaurs e.t.c, my question is when does this style (Which let me make clear, put ourselves to one side, i'm talking purely this style, not us per se) get called out for what it is? When is it ok and accepted to criticise, noting it doesn't work for every team and/or all the time? It's the epitome of football snobbery to hold any other opinion.

Vazman Posted 30 November 2023 Share Posted 30 November 2023 I was trying to think of how much worse it could have got last night, and it was a bad performance, then a Baggies fan work colleague, asked me if there was any chance Danny Ward might be in goal Saturday, it really could have been worse last night.

Adding another string to you now yes, but "just stick a CB up front and smash it at him" went the way of the dinosaurs years ago because it's just really ineffective. People remember the odd goal resulting and forget that it's probably the easiest thing for a defence deal with.

The sole remaining adherents of it are flat cap wearers in Huddersfield who think even Lancashire is too exotic Whilst I’d agree normally, Souttar is 6 ft 6 and I’d hazard a guess at winning over 85% of his aerial duals. It wouldn’t be easy for them to deal with at all. I think our style of play for the most part is good but when it’s clearly not working like last night it does need switching up, not necessarily by just pumping it long to a big centre half but with his goal scoring record for Australia it must be worth a try 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're just hitting it to the big man in the mixer you need him to win the header and then your forwards to win the second ball and score in a tightly packed area. It is quite simply a very inefficient style regardless of how tall your big man is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
