[PL] Leicester City [A]: Build Up

[RichC]

Amazed at anyone picking The Lump.

If Flanno is fit enough I'd be tempted to play him over Moreno and swap Clyne to LB

-----------------Mig
Flanno---Lovren--Sakho--Clye
-------------Lucas
----------Can--Allen
---Lallana--Firmino--Milner

[The_weatherman]

Don't think I can handle 90 minutes of Firmino, Lallana at al trying to win aerial duels with the Leicester centre backs

Can't see Benteke winning any aerial duals that matter, would rather try and play through their CB's.

[Fosterbloke]

-----------------Mig

Clyne---Lovren--Sakho--Flanagan

----------------Lucas

----------Can--Allen--Milner

----------Lallana--Firmino

Couple of myths to denounce:

1) This thing with playing Firmino up top by himself, has worked in patches, but generally it's awful. It doesn't work without Coutinho. For the love of God, can we try something else this eve.

2) Pressing. Every good team does it. It's not something that's copyrighted by Klopp.

Thanks

Point 1 is all well and good until you look at the alternative which is even more awful (and not just in patches)

[frank the tank]

Thanks for that.



Gegenpressing is Klopps though isn't it???

Hi Rinus, welcome to the forum.

Which of our 4x fit strikers would you play in his place?

Hey! Hey everybody!!

Please cease the "ONLY KLOPP TEAMS PRESS" campaign with immediate effect. We've been rumbled

Benteke to bag a hat-trick tonight if he starts...

Of **** ups? Missed runs? Can't be goals!

Well I'd try something else because we've been awful since Coutinho's injury. If somethings not working, it's just not working and no point in trying the same thign over and over again. There's just a real distinct lack in the cumulative force of the Lallana/Firmino/Milner/Ibe combo.

Maybe Ojo?

Thanks for that.

Klopp can try and instill Gegenpress all he wants but when you does have the intelligence throughout the side to execute it, it fails.

Hi Rinus, welcome to the forum.

My point is that it hasnt been working for however long. Are we really going to go with the same game plan tonight?

there is a bit of a notion to Klopp's teams having the exclusivity to pressingwhen every team we play does it to us and some even better.

Can't be off-sides either, he usually bags a double hat-trick of off-sides.

I'd have Ojo on the bench and see how Firmino goes, he scored two and assisted one in the last PL game he played upfront.

I think he also needs a pre-season.

Again, we could use a pre-season.

Looked alright v Norwich and Arsenal to me. It's the best we've got until Sturridge returns.

Norwich are so bad it's unreal and the Arsenal game...after Firmino's wonder strike, we didn't look like getting that third goal. Let's be honest, it was out of the blue and that's why it felt so good

[RichC]

With our current injury woes Firmino playing up top is the best option we have. Benteke has been dreadful and hiding in plain sight and I can't see deserves to be starting at the moment

Hopefully with a few coming back soon (ish) we'll start to see our options in attack improve but until then Firmino should be playing in that role.
