Tinkerman drops Okazaki

I'm not sure about this more defensive approach as our recent form has been based on asking the questions ourselves; but we'll see how it goes.

Regarding Kramaric, I can only assume that he's picked up a knock.

No reports of an injury to Kramaric.....?

This is where the tinkerman will earn his corn. He's already said that he's had little impact in one month and attributed our initial success to Pearson and the club.

He does have a real habit of changing a winning side or a side that looks comfortable, it drove the Chelsea fans mad.

Let's wait and see. This is the kind of game we would have lost under Pearson, will the changes work?

With different personnel Pearson never quite made 4-5-1 work. The key will be making sure that someone gets close yo Vardy when we're attacking. It could be a long day for him if he gets isolated up front.

Having said that it could be 3-5-2 but that would mean DeLaet is the third CB which I don't think is likely...

In that case Mahrez would drop into the hole behind vardy

I think it's effectively going to be a 4-2-3-1 when we attack and a 4-5-1 when we defend Blackstarr - my worry is that Kante, King and Drinkwater are all essentially defensive, deeper lying midfielders. Who's going to run beyond Vardy to provide the support up top?

If none of them do you're relying solely on the wingers to produce the chances...quite easy for Bournemouth to deal with if they just double up on Mahrez...

Agreed madness. I think cr is seeing this as a potential banana skin (remember palace away after we beat Man Utd last season?) and opting to defend deep and hit them on the break......

Showing other teams too much respect cost us last season, I see no reason to do that with Bournemouth, this is a game we should be winning and we shouldn't be making he same mistakes again.

Hopefully our quality wins through.

Always good to see RDL get caught and a yellow!!!

Hmmm.....Bournemouth having the better of it.

RDL not doing well it has to be said but Drinkwater also very sloppy.

RDL will get himself sent off. Gradel is rinsing him...

the right side is a problem, so much space and RDL on a yellow

posted on 29/8/15

Just shows how bad he is BS if Gradel is rinsing him

Need to change that RB quick!

RDL did not track the run!!!!!

1-0 Bournemouth. Guess where it came from? A cross from our right side, RDL nowhere, just jogging aimlessly in the box....

Its fair to say the defensive approach with Vardy upfront on his own has not paid off for CR

posted on 29/8/15

So was that goal RDl's fault no Marhez lost it. so get off his back its not his fault we are conceding.

RDL has to be taken off at HT surely.

Disappointing to see us repeat the same mistakes as last season in these away games to the bottom sides

posted on 29/8/15

Useless and please someone try to defend that pr#ck!

That's been coming - De Laet has been utterly hopeless. All at sea, he frankly may as well not be on the pitch.

If I were Bournemouth I'd keep running at him and he soon won't be...

Nev you must have sand in your eyes!!!!

Do I moan when you single out Kasper at every opportunity? No....so stop being a hypocrite - fine to slate Kasper, but no ok for others to do the same to RDL.

Yes Mahrez lost the ball but they didn't shoot from the middle of the park did they? Lots happened AFTER that moment

posted on 29/8/15

Its so bad that Huth is coming across to do RDLs job for him

posted on 29/8/15

RDL fails to track the runner in the box again. He turns his back on the ball thinking there is going to be a shot. Awful, awful, awful.

posted on 29/8/15

We are looking really bad. We're now in the wrong formation to really create anything - we cant keep the ball!
