Big Geordie Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Will be interesting to see how the two brothers get on in the middle of the park. I hope that they both do well. As it is, I can't see beyond a 2-0 Leicester win today, with Vardy bagging at least 1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Baffled how Sean is playing. He’s been that bad lately I’d rather have Hendrick in the middle. Murphy getting dropped is dumb too Why? He’s a genuine direct wide player that seems to offer balance to us and he’s improving a lot. He can also take a decent free kick. While we don’t have ASM and Fraser I don’t get why he isn’t a shoe in for that wide spot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aiston Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 So the midfield battle is Maddison, Tielemens and Ndidi vs Matty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 One of the worst midfield lineups I’ve ever seen, and that’s saying something. Absolutely criminal how little we’ve invested in such a key position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 So he's back to consistently playing "Rafa's formation" again because he can't come up with anything himself huh, despite constantly whinging abut it previously. Clown. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Our midfield is super aids. Leicester will continually just pass straight through it. The only positive I can see (if it is one) is that we’ll play so deep that Vardy won’t be able to make runs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinoasprilla Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Why have Emily krap and Manquillo on the bench. Stick Anderson or toure on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoot Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Sky aware we kick off first? I'd rather they just avoided talking about us anyway as it'll just be the usual Bruce wankathon and how we're all deluded. So just avoid it for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 We will miss Hayden badly. Don't think it will be too bad as we will be defending primarily and we have some pace up front. The personnel is fine, just depends on how they are deployed. If we just sit back we'll get nothing. If we are prepared to get players supporting the front three when we are in possession we have more than enough to get a result. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The personnel is fine, just depends on how they are deployed. If we just sit back we'll get nothing. If we are prepared to get players supporting the front three when we are in possession we have more than enough to get a result. Any pace isn't even made use of because how deep we are usually, and how poorly we transition. We never win the ball back high to quickly spring into attack. We're not effective in breaking any opposition closing us down when deep. Whenever we do have the ball players are just so stationary and spread out. Compared to Leeds it's like a different sport we're playing. All we can do with the ball is pass it along the before shelling into Wilson or Joelinton. Their not target men, and we don't even win any second, third balls. It's worse than anything Pardew, Carver ever threw up. A handful of times a game we'll break into space, then we're relying on quality that isn't there to create anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
