What this fails to put forward and yes it's great for Nugent and Vardy to be scoring I'm definitely not having a go at these players, but this article is not saying that ulloa has lost his goal scoring prowess has he ever had one by the look of that sitter he missed Saturday he might have done better letting it fall for Vardy who was just to his left ? And there's Andrej Kramaric touting as being a superb goal scoring prospect,and when he does eventually get game time he looks magical on the ball when he dribbles the ball from left foot to right foot taking on the defenders in the box and finding space to shoot then shooting at goal unlucky not to have scored but for the Hammers defender! But Kramaric has not really been given his chance to shine by Pearson,he's been either left on the bench or when he has played he's played on his own upfront where he's not being utilised at his best as he needs a Nugent or Vardy upfront with him to feed him the balls or because of at times Pearsons weird formations. When this kid is eventually bought on he's a game changer he looks awesome quality and definitely need him to play upfront with Nuge,so why is Pearson always sticking with players that are not at there best and leaving quality players on the bench or out of the team altogether? It was great to see Allbrighton get his chance on Saturday and he looked class just what we've been missing Mahrez has just not been the same since coming back from the AFCON but let's hope our remaining games Pearson can get the right formations the best players we have playing and get the right results we need ??!!
yorkie1999 Posted 15 April 2015 Posted 15 April 2015 All we needed to do from last season was replace Dyer, play the same way, and let the lads get used to the premier league and we would have been in europe now.

Really? Whilst I agree that money wasn't invested correctly - but for me it was more to do with when it was spent. We needed to do more business in the Summer allowing more time to intergrate new faces.

Behave for goodness sake. Cambiasso has been easily one of our best performers and its quite obvious we needed a player like Huth much earlier than we eventually decided to get him in. Wes Morgan Paul Konchesky De Laet Kasper Vardy (improved recently) Liam Moore Knockaert have struggled or not been able to get a game for 80% of the season, and event the likes of Mahrez Schlupp and James have had their share of shit games. Nugent has done really well for me but do we really want to keep playing him in a league where he has notoriously struggled to score more than about 5 goals. I'd argue we needed to bring more players than we did not stick with what we've got.

Fox Ulike Posted 15 April 2015 Posted 15 April 2015 Well where would we be now without Ulloa’s early season contribution? Players float in and out of form. Ulloa was on fire early season, but now Vardy has got the form and the impetus. This is football. This has always been football and I don’t know why it continues to surprise some people. Kramaric was a strange signing though. There’s no doubting his potential, but he’s clearly a signing for the future… if he’s prepared to play in the Championship should we go down. At the time we needed competition for Nugent’s place - but Pearson spaffed his entire January load over Kramaric. We should have bought a number 10, not a third choice number 9. A bit like re-arranging the deckchairs on the Titanic. Thankfully Nuge has hit form at the right time too. Pearson has been a bit lucky in that respect. If Nuge loses form or is injured between now and the end of the season, we’re down.
VLC86 Posted 15 April 2015 Posted 15 April 2015 All we needed to do from last season was replace Dyer, play the same way, and let the lads get used to the premier league and we would have been in europe now. Yep, and a crack pipe.

I was under the impression that Kramaric is a No10 more so than a No 9 well according to the fans of his previous club.
tommyh Posted 15 April 2015 Posted 15 April 2015 All we needed to do from last season was replace Dyer, play the same way, and let the lads get used to the premier league and we would have been in europe now. Hit the nail on the head, apart from the addition of Cambiasso! Correct in bringing a new striker / new strikers in but Vards and Nuge should have been 1st choice!

Fox Ulike Posted 15 April 2015 Posted 15 April 2015 As has been said several thousand times, he is a number 10. Just because you keep repeating something doesn't mean it's right. I'd say Kram still hasn't found his best position. He's one for the future... Which is really the point i'm making, and I invite you to comment on the meat of what I'm saying, not the gravy.
shailen Posted 15 April 2015 Posted 15 April 2015 Assuming all four are at the club next season they will all play their part. Strikers go in and out of form at every club apart from the top four especially in this league. It wouldn't surprise me if Ulloa recaptures some of his early season form, because it happens nearly at every club.
MC Prussian Posted 15 April 2015 Posted 15 April 2015 All we needed to do from last season was replace Dyer, play the same way, and let the lads get used to the premier league and we would have been in europe now. Thank god you're not a football manager. As if anything in real life were as easy as you're trying to make it out.

You said he was a 9 and not a 10... the people who have watched him play for several years and not a few games say that's how he plays. I'm not sure what else I can add, I'm not interested in your meat.
Finn Claw II Posted 15 April 2015 Posted 15 April 2015 If we do manage to stay up there is a pretty strong argument to replace all of the back 5. Huth is decent but he isn't ours. I assume this is trolling.
Manwell Pablo Posted 15 April 2015 Posted 15 April 2015 Thank god you're not a football manager. As if anything in real life were as easy as you're trying to make it out. I'm starting to get the impression his post was very poorly communicated sarcasem.
The Elephant Fan Posted 15 April 2015 Posted 15 April 2015 By the looks of things, the three players who are going to get us out of trouble are Cambiasso, Nugent and Vardy. There contributions over the last 6 games make them automatic starters. All three are either scoring or setting up goals on a consistent basis. And as the Mercury article points out, with Nugent - despite his wastefulness with some chances - we play better and pose a greater threat to the opposition goal. Ulloa and Kramaric will alternate depending on the Pearson's assessment of the qualities of the opposition defence. I expect Ulloa to get the nod as a starter in most games due to the form he showed at the start of the season and for Kramaric to come on as a substitute in the last third of games to try and 'unlock' the opposition defence with his trickery.
Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot Posted 15 April 2015 Posted 15 April 2015 Don't think you can undermine the effect bringing Kram in will of had on Nuge and Vardy, they know they have to perform to get in the team now, if they don't there's a £9m man waiting to take their place so definitely think this will of had some sort of impact on their upturn in form, if that, coupled with Kram playing ok, keeps us up, it's definitely money well spent, especially as he'll only get better.
MPH Posted 15 April 2015 Posted 15 April 2015 All we needed to do from last season was replace Dyer, play the same way, and let the lads get used to the premier league and we would have been in europe now. Please tell me this is a joke?

Hmmm. Good point I guess. Although i'm not sure we should be spending £9m on a reserve just to motivate the first teamers. All I'm saying is that £9 should have been spent on a no 10 who could of come straight into the team and made a huge difference. I think Pearson's been incredibly lucky that Nuge is started to show that he belongs at this level... It will only be money well spent if Kramaric is still with us next season. You said he was a 9 and not a 10... the people who have watched him play for several years and not a few games say that's how he plays. I'm not sure what else I can add, I'm not interested in your meat. Yeah you keep telling yerself that Bae.
jonathan_ross Posted 15 April 2015 Posted 15 April 2015 I know 15 million on stwikers who haven't weally found the target too fwequently either, I think nugent and Vardy will be a handful on Saturday again, can see kwamaric being left of the picture again

Whoever you are you've gone wrong.

Yeah you keep telling yerself that Bae. That's not exactly what I meant. I don't think he was brought it to be a reserve, and I'm sure he'll play and hopefully do well between now and the end of the season. But I also think it has helped to sharpen up the other strikers, so beneficial all round.
