Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 2 September 2014 Share Posted 2 September 2014 Very tough one, especially with King and Hammond being so impressive so far. I might argue that it could be worth not having Hamer on the bench to give a space to a more useful outfield option ...or is it like not having breakdown cover? As soon as your AA membership expires, your car goes pop 100 miles from home... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stadt Posted 2 September 2014 Share Posted 2 September 2014 Options, it's all about options. We'll play with Drinky/King behind Ulloa when we genuinely need 5 midfielders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain... Posted 2 September 2014 Share Posted 2 September 2014 King and Hammond have looked immense, but they have mainly had to be reactive rather than dictate a game, we've had less than 50% possession in every game so far, against Chelsea and Arsenal Hammond and King will look better as their job is to break down the opposition attacks and move the ball on quickly to the flanks to do the creative work. Hammond has had 0 shots and 2 key passes in 3 matches King a little better with 3 key passes and 2 blocked shots, we need more creativity in midfield when we play the lesser teams in the league. Particular with DD coming back we will see more drive and more creative force in the middle and hopefully better possession as well. I think we will see more from Nugent and the wide players with a bit more drive from the middle. This is not a criticism of King or Hammond they have been superb but they are different players too Drinkwater and James, Hammond wins the ball and passes it on and holds, King wins the ball passes it and gets forward to receive it further up the field. If Nige wants he can go 4231 against Man City with Hammond and Cambiasso holding Drinky Mahrez Albrighton playing behind Ulloa (if we want someone to hold it up) or Vardy (if we want a pacy counter attack.) Options, options, options. What is good is that I am not too concerned if we have a few injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glenelgfox Posted 2 September 2014 Share Posted 2 September 2014 So many people not including King, surely he's made the step up better than anyone else? Unbelievable King is being left out - what more does he have to do to show the doubters on here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benpicko Posted 2 September 2014 Share Posted 2 September 2014 Unbelievable King is being left out - what more does he have to do to show the doubters on here? Exactly. One of the best players in each 3 matches so far, hasn't put a foot wrong so far, and people still find a way to exclude him from the squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcfcsnow Posted 2 September 2014 Share Posted 2 September 2014 Can we still loan out players to the championship or is that it now? GTF & Wood could really do with going out on loan. Hammonds a tricky one, I thought he had no chance of making the step up and he does look incredibly slow at times but he has more stature than the likes of James and Drinkwater, who we haven't had chance to see yet if they can perform at this level.

davieG Posted 2 September 2014 Share Posted 2 September 2014 We're going to spend a lot more time of the ball and using a massive amount of energy closing teams down much more than we did in the Championship. This is where the sports science team will come in to ensure that players aren't overstretched I'd be amazed if we don't use a lot more players than last year and 3 subs will be the norm rather than the exception and they wont be purely tactical so expect some seemingly strange ones.

chris_lcfc_85 Posted 2 September 2014 Share Posted 2 September 2014 When everyone is fit, i think it will be as follows: Schmeichel De Laet Konchesky Moore Morgan Mahrez Albrighton Cambiasso/James Drinwkater Nugent/Vardy Ulloa Subs Hamer Wasilewski Cambiasso/James Nugent/Vardy Powell Lawrence/Schlupp King I struggle to see Hammond, GTF and even Knocky fitting in. Simpson and De Laet may be rotated but i think he'll always prioritise Wasilewski on the bench as cover for CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theessexfox Posted 2 September 2014 Share Posted 2 September 2014 If Wasilewski is on the bench he could potentially cover CB and RB, leaving more attacking options on the bench. Not sure how I feel about him at RB mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewquayFox Posted 2 September 2014 Share Posted 2 September 2014 Feel sorry for Hammond, not the most gifted of players but he has given his best with King for the first 3 games but he did look a bit knackered with 20 minutes to go on Sunday. Exciting times and every position now has options and players will have to perform well to keep their place. Think Knocky is the one who will miss out as he doesn't seem to have stepped up.....

Harry - LCFC Posted 2 September 2014 Share Posted 2 September 2014 Drinkwater should be the first name on the team sheet Not when Hammond and King are playing this well. Schmeichel, as always, is first up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hirsty The Blue 94 Posted 2 September 2014 Share Posted 2 September 2014 Cambiasso, James both on the pitch, and Hammond on the bench, all of whom provide similar options, and no King? James is nothing like Cambiasso! No way will Cambiasso be able to do the full 90 for a fair while until he is fully fit, and would much rather bring Hammond on to sure up a game rather than King. For me King either starts or doesn't play at all, don't really see what he will add as in 'impact sub' where as Hammond can come on and disrupt the opposition. This is nothing against King who as you rightly said has been top drawer in the 3 games so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to Kingy, he'd be a good player to bring on for Hammond/Cambiasso if we're 1 down with 20 to play, he's much more of an attacking force.
