Lush Vlad Posted December 9 Share Posted December 9 What is the obsession from some with playing our best player out of position? Especially when it's to accommodate a perma-crock who looks totally past it when he's played in 2024. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drop Joelinton. Pope Tippier Schar Burn Hall Sandro Bruno Willock Gordon Wilson Isak How does Trippier shore up the defence when it's widely accepted that Livramento is a more solid defender than him?

alexf Posted December 9 Share Posted December 9 Yeah if you bring Trippier in, it's more an attempt to improve the attack than defence. Leicester have some fast skillful wide players so might not be the right game to drop Tino. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted December 9 Share Posted December 9 Tripper hasn’t been good offensively since around October last year. No guarantees he improves the attack at all tbh. I’d be surprised if he’s even match fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted December 10 Share Posted December 10 Would keep Tino on, you could ruin his confidence by dropping him... Also think we should have this midfield if willock is fit: Bruno--tonali--willock Gordon--isak--big J Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted December 10 Share Posted December 10 Looks like big Joe had heavy strapping on that shoulder as early as the last international break which was before that crystal palace game, so he must have been struggling with it for longer than I thought. Think if he can't do the things that make him impactful then we are just asking for trouble playing an injured player every game. Obviously doesn't help if Willock is injured again though.

ExiledGeordie Posted December 11 Share Posted December 11 I actually think we’ll win this, it’s massive for Howe and the players and the players usually respond in these situations. They kind of have to win this really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted December 11 Share Posted December 11 Feels like a watershed game this one. After recent poor results against less fancied teams, we are in a position where only a win will be acceptable. Anything less and the pressure on the team and manager will really start to heat up. Also we need 3 points to keep us in touch of the European places. While it's quite lucky that other than the top 4 no one is getting consistent results, it also means there's a lot more competition for those slots.

Our issue seems to be going behind and having to chase, especially in the second half of games. We’ve created enough chances earlier on in games (Palace aside).

black_n_white Posted December 12 Share Posted December 12 Interesting that in Gordon’s interview on sky he talks about how the team have lost the dark arts of playing and opposition are finding it easy to play against us. You’d imagine that’s been discussed on the training pitch. Maybe we see a bit of that this weekend? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Change of personnel balance? Lack of leadership? Leadership banning them? Etc etc. Lots of talk about us missing them but not much in the way of action.

Danh1 Posted December 13 Share Posted December 13 Score early and we’ll win comfortably. If we go into half time drawing or behind I could see a disastrous scoreline, particularly as the crowd will get restless as the game goes on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
