Bluewolf 7,161 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 We are nothing if not predictable... now advantage has been handed to Leicester in the final 15 How does no-one mark Vardy, In what footballing world does anyone think he is not a threat in front of goal.. Schoolboy errors at the back have been so costly to us this season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carefreeluke 722 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Mate we sit back in a shell just going through the motions and give the other team an open invitation to attack but we don’t play with enough authority to be good enough to play in that manner anymore. Countless times this has happened this season and Conte hasn’t learned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is no surprise his record in cup competitions is appalling. He made some big mistakes tactically in the 1st leg against Barca as well, the key moment in the game he failed to manage. You can sit deeper but it’s the passivity in which we do it that’s the problem and the fact that we lose direction and purpose in attack. We allow the other team to take the momentum and confidence in the game and it’s difficult for us to get back on the front foot after that.

Yea, You lose all sympathy with Conte when he complains he has not got the players to win things or compete and when you are playing against the likes of Barcelona and Messi he may have a justified point but this is a Cup game against Leicester and you can't say we don't have the level of players on that pitch right now to be giving them the game of their lives.. We lack creativity and at the moment the right attitude to match them like for like.. As you say, we seem to sit back and invite trouble hoping for a run on goal from a break rather than pressing them hard and closing down space forcing them into errors.. No-one on that pitch is a natural leader that can take games like this by the scruff of the neck... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simeone definitely isn't the answer for you on what you've been asking for mate. Simeone is the answer for us as much as I don't like that type of football... Hell! Infact I'd have Gattuso come in and kick the shit out of all those lazy gits at Arsenal and then set a search going for Kroenke to ambush him and put a 25 kilo bag of potatoes up his arse.

We allow the other team to take initiative and control the game. This is not the fact that we sit back and play negatively, it's not necessarily a style issue, it's the fact we don't play with any authority, we lose the intensity and control. It's dreadful to watch, you can control the game with less possession and sitting deep for example. We've been awful at controlling games this season, one of the worst I can remember. Momentum is with us, then the other team, we never take the full control or the majority of it anymore in a game. Hopefully Pedro can bring some intensity back to our pressing.

Strange that.. should be route one into the box at every opportunity and hope for a break.. Vardy not taking the throw in straight away was weird as well..
