If that was true, why are we only playing one new defender? We could have signed more defenders, or defensive midfielders?

CheddarReds Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 There's more to it at Leicester than simply tinkering. Their starting 11 and tactics were found out and he's needed to try and change it to change it around. I'm not against team rotation and I'm fully in support of playing players with different qualities to hurt oppositions weaknesses/ counter their strengths, a basic ingredient of good football management in my mind.

He signed a goalkeeper, a centre back, an (allegedly) defensive midfielder as well as a winger and two strikers. A pretty balanced set of recruits on paper. I'd argue that every signing has improved us as a squad with the exception of Giefer who the jury is stil out on for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes But first you need to know what your best team is. I can not help but think our manager has never found it. Before you can tinker with a team one must understand their first 11 through and though, then just maybe with the right experience you can start to make subtle changes. Problem for me someone at the gate is trying to show the world how great he is and really he is not al that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem for me someone at the gate is trying to show the world how great he is and really he is not al that... You've missed the point. Every footballer has different qualities, some will be better passes, some better pressers, some better leaders, some better tacklers and headers etc. There is no such thing as one best 11. The best 11 will change depending on what qualities you need from your players to beat what is in front of you on a game by game basis. It might be that your team is of considerably better quality than what you're up against so you don't need to change it, or certain players work well together so you might see one 11 regularly but the idea of 'one best 11' no matter who or what is ridiculous.

Look I hear what your saying dude but in reality this is BCFC with a young inexperienced manager. The managers at the very top might know the game well enough to be the ultimate tinker man but here today we need to find our best 11 and then start digging in!

Turbored Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Most discussions on Talk sport about successful teams and failing teams generally follow this consensus and as we proved when we won the double a couple of years ago. Succesful teams - Consistent line up Failing teams - Constant changes and tinkering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miketh2nd Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 I don't follow the premiership that closely but I think they have been worked out, they have no plan b and there cbs aren't good enough. Also Kante is immense and very hard to replace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walkingtalkingred Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 Speaking of kante. If he were to win the league this year with Chelsea.

Oddly i think Mark Schwarzer was the first last season, he did it the other way round though - Chelsea to Leicester. Although I'm not sure he even played a game for either.
