Danny Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Maguire didn’t do anything wrong their imo, Fred could have just played it first time to Henderson and there’s no issue. You don’t play out from the back by being hesitant and hoofing it, you do what Maguire done, Fred just has to be a lot better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carefreeluke Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 2 hours ago, Cicero said: Yup. Understand Tuchel is trying to build the foundation, but we should be looking to steer away from this formation next season. Limits our attacking play. As you know I've never been a massive fan of it, the difference this time around though is that we look to have more of the ball and control the game which is something I like rather than sitting off the opposition which we did too much at times under Conte especially against better opposition. We have different players with different skill sets this time around though. I totally understand why Tuchel has gone with it as it puts a lot of players in their best roles, Kanté, Havertz, the whole defence more or less, as well as others but I'm not going to be fooled this time around again in believing some players are world beaters, they're not. Tuchel is totally justified in using this system coming in mid-season to build a foundation as you mention and it has its moments and periods where it's useful but will it be possible and an easy transition to move to a back four? I don't know. Might depend on recruitment and our attacking play wasn't that great in a 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Think we will crack on and win this game now, Leicester needed to beat us whilst they had so many chances. Ole will get into them at half time and I expect a different look in the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar issue occurred recently with Arsenal against Burnley where Xhaka took a pass from Leno I think and then struck it at Wood.

By all means play out from the back but that’s where teams are thick, Leicester play a high press, Henderson plays out. It’s stupid. I’m not saying they should scrap it altogether but there’s a time and a play and that was neither from Henderson or Maguire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s literally not, it’s called committing to playing out of the back and the reason they conceded is because they’re bad at doing it.

Whiskey Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Feels like the time I watched Leicester City against Sheffield United, you just got the feeling that when they got the third the floodgates would open. Forget who Manchester United are and you can see it happening again here, 3-1 up with 30 minutes to go and it could get messy, Leicester are outstanding on the counter.

Scouse_Mouse Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 John Bennett @JohnBennettBBC · 3m This isn't me having a pop at Harry Maguire, he's obviously a very good defender. But... It's pretty remarkable that he left Leicester City for £80M and would now struggle to get in LCFC's current back 3. Shows how good Leicester's recruitment and forward planning has been.

Devil Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Disgrace from United, the moment I seen that starting line up today I thought they'd struggle. Matic is so finished and we struggle whenever he's on the field. No trophy for four years and only the Europa to go at now. Big question marks on Ole tonight, little progress being made and losing big cup ties constantly. Decision making all wrong tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted March 21, 2021 Author Administrator Share Posted March 21, 2021 I'm in shock, still. Never been to an FA Cup game at Wembley, still won't get the chance but it's an amazing feeling to know my club will go there An amazing chance to get through to the final too given the draw. Totally dominant and deserved win. Don't often get to say that when we play Man Utd. Very proud of the team and Rodgers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't seem to know what to do or make the right calls. Obviously it's difficult to argue when Man U are in second, but that's more to do with teams behind them being just as inconsistent really.
