Pre Match West Ham v Leicester

[Robin127]

He seems that way, I agree, but I can't remember him making a mistake that actually led to a goal.

He was very, very lucky that Traore couldn't finish. That being said, as a pure defender he isn't too bad, it's just when he is given the ball and has to something with it that the problems occur and with the way we play that is not good.

 

[sparky79]

Our best way to beat West Ham is to go 343 I think and hit them with pace and better finishing.

Schmeichel
Amartey Soyuncu Vestergaard
Ricardo Ndidi Tielemans Castagne
Daka Iheanacho Barnes

I'd start with this team and introduce Vardy, Soumare, Maddison or Albrighton as needed.

**** me.
Obviously “hit them with pace and better finishing”, then put a slower more unpredictable striker in, rather than the quick clever one that bagged last week.
Glad you’re not Brendan.

Mate.....

He's said he's going to play his full squad.
id doubt he's going 2 at the back with Antonio who always bosses us (played 3 last year).
If he starts 4231 and we get dicked first half everyone will be saying we should have played 3 at the back.

That doesn't excuse that mess of a front 3.....

Not much of a reason though, sparky. If we’re getting dicked at half time, whatever set up we play, it’ll be said that we should have done something else. That argument can be applied to anything we do.

totally. in this instance, I think that if we play any 4231 combo we will be being dicked at half time. So I think we should go 343 with the chance to save vardy for later in the game. Apparently that is mental despite the 3 forwards I'm proposing being worth about £120m between them and having 60 odd goals between them last season.

 

[homer]

You make a wonderfully compelling case there, Sparks

But there is no way on earth (barring injury) that Big Brendan is going to start the game without Vardy

Mainly because he’s not a complete ****ing idiot

Having had a fair old break since our last game, there’s absolutely sod all chance that Vardy doesn’t start the game (barring injury), so it’s really not even worth suggesting.

West Ham are shit.

 

[sparky79]

this is great groundwork for the inevitable shitstorm of comments saying how shit our back four was and how a front three of maddison vardy Barnes isn't physical enough after the game on Monday!!

 

[Blue Maniac]

West Ham are shit.

Oh **** you

 

[Miles Away]

They aren’t shit. But we have better players.

 

[Micky]

I know, let's drop the bloke who was outstanding in our last game. Good idea.

The one who scored the ludicrously skillful goal that only a handful of players in the league would even think to try, let alone execute?

yep.

Yes that one, drop the old duffer!

 

[sparky79]

it's not dropping. I think we have to get used to the idea of having multiple starting XI options.

 

[Graz]

Sparky isn't completely wrong...

Vardy's minutes will definitely be managed more this season, and Rodgers said as much yesterday, saying that we hadn't been able to rest Vardy as much as we'd like.

However the 2nd game of the season when we've had 8 days between games and 5 days until the next one, which in theory is an easier game anyway, isn't the time that will happen

Of course Vardy will start, and rightly so.

 

[pork pie fox]

Monday games are shit.
