Kramaric

[dylanlegend]

He'll be quality of given a decent run. Should start with Vardy and be given a decent chance. I think he'll go far in the game, hopefully with us but not looking likely at the minute

[Countryfox]

Okazaki works a lot harder than Kramaric from what I've seen so I'm guessing that's the reason.

 

 

I've just posted what Ranieri thinks ...

[RowlattsFox]

Of course he is frustrated, who wouldn't be in his position? But unfortunately he's got to be outstanding in the chances he does get or the team needs to stop performing as well as they have been, for him to get a chance in the first team.

 

Ranieri's choice of subs can be strange at time.

[Dickov22]

The same Ulloa who was knocking them in for fun at the start of the season?

Yeah- playing regularly. Then lost his spot mid season and looked poor lost times we saw him. Then got another run and did well.

[psychonaut]

Don't know what he's sad about ...  being paid shed loads of money and keeping the neighbours up with his night time activities ..

(And yes I do know where he lives)

 

So your dislike of him could partly be due to his antics outside the club/folks you know knowing him etc?

[ScouseFox]

anyone who doesn't understand why okazaki plays ahead of him can kindly kill themselves thanks

[lgfualol]

Dont agree that he should be just put into the team to see how he goes. How will that make poor Leo feel

Put him in the squad as well, the old 2-4-4 formation

[Ric Flair]

He needs to make more of an impact than he has in the chances he gets. People have moaned about Dodoo being on the bench instead... The lad has taken his chances, including a hattrick, that deserves recognition.

If it had been Kramaric scoring the hattrick he also would have deserved it, but he didn't and has been upstaged by a kid.

You don't just play people to "see what they can do", they need to earn it and force their way into the team. Currently Ulloa is far more deserving of a start out of the two as he's really added something to the team when coming on and he's making a case for himself.

Kramaric has had the chance to make a case and sadly fluffed two or three chances. If he had buried them, then it's a different story.

 

Okazaki still keeps getting picked game after game though? Other than running around a lot and being a bit of a pest he's done very, very little.

[suffolk fox]

Sorry but I have not been impressed with Kramaric. When he has been given the chance to play he has disappointed.

He is too lightweight gets shoved off the ball too easily and never tracks back when he loses possession. It is so obvious why Okazaki gets picked in front of him. Okazaki runs his guts out for the team and offers so much more up front as a partner for Vardy.

There is a reason why Kramaric doesn't get picked instead of whingeing about it he should knuckle down and try harder.

Doing fancy step overs and stupid chips when he is clean through on goal aint going to win many people over. I can see him being sold in January. Ulloa is above him in the pecking order.

They can also be absolutely superb too

Funny you mention that because one of my criticisms of him is he comes too deep for the ball and is therefore often out of position to be in goal scoring positions. When we had him up front on his own during that disasterous 5-4-1 formation we played for 2 months he would often come looking for the ball and be chasing it around the centre circle and left us toothless up top. Okazaki hasn't impressed me at all yet, not that that means Kramaric should be in either it should be Ulloa who is chomping at the bit for a start or perhaps Mehrez just behind Vardy.

[Babylon]

You said Ulloa only hit form after a run of games, which isn really true his was scoring from the start.

[Babylon]

And as I've said numerous times, Okazaki is doing a lot of the dirty work and allowing Vardy to be the focal point up top. Put a Ulloa there and Vardy will be the one doing the donkey work, running channels more, dropping off or going wide and you'll end up with a player with not many goals again.

Kramaric ditto won't put the effort in we require in that 10 spot. Ulloa on the face of it deserves more of a chance going off personal performances than Okazaki. But I think it's looks to me that we're trying to get Vardy in his best spot, with someone who frees him up to be more of a threat.

People need to look beyond x players performance and see how changing x player to y player would impact how z plays as well.

[AKCJ]

Only Morgan made more outfield appearances than Ulloa IIRC.

 

 

Ulloa certainly didn't lose his spot. He just wasn't getting the cnances he got. Partly down to miserable tactics and a complete lack of service.

which is even worse really, when we're attacking he doesn't help the attack very much, like you said, and when we're defending he doesn't help the defence either. can't work out where his next "RUN OF GAMES" everyone wants him to have is going to come from, unless it's to the detriment of the team and our results. 

[TheMightySystem]

I think his best role would be the number 10 role of linking the attack to the midfield much like what Nugent was doing last season, that  way he can still get forward to attack and drop deep to retrieve the ball with an outlet in Vardy to pass to.

Trouble is that both Shinji and Riyad do that role far better than Andrej ever will.

Maybe so but I also see Ulloa being the sort who will also drop deep and pressure the opposition so that Vardy can stretch defences and be in on goal. Okazaki is certainly helping Vardy, which you can't argue with the way Vardy is now performing but I do wonder if the distinct lack of goals and assists from Shinji can continue and him still get picked? I would be tempted to operate Mahrez behind Vardy so that we can utilize the plethora of attacking wide players we have such as Schlupp, Albrighton, Dyer and even Dodoo.

[Dickov22]

You said Ulloa only hit form after a run of games, which isn really true his was scoring from the start.

So particular about every detail aren't you. He knew he was first choice at the start of the season- something that Kramaric has never had. That breeds confidence. I thought Ulloa's all round game was at it's best during the last couple of months of the season.

[Swiper]

Of course he is frustrated, who wouldn't be in his position? But unfortunately he's got to be outstanding in the chances he does get or the team needs to stop performing as well as they have been, for him to get a chance in the first team.

They've also been the right choices more often than not, strange as they may seem.

[cunica]

Good day to all,regarding that article from 24.sata,Andrej is not trying to be cocky or anything like that. 4-4-2.com  left out part where he is saying that he does not understand how everyone congratulated and tapped his back after Bury game,and next game he is again on the bench,again not in cocky way but sad.

Also,he said that he is happy in Leicester because he has massive support from you guys (well from the most part) and that people stop him on streets to comfort him.I remember his interview past international break (dunno whats exactly the term) and he only had words of praise for Lester and that he knows that he has strong competition in attack but he will earn his spot.

 I personally,agree with many of you,he did not taken his chances quite well,and I totally agree that his chip shots are ridiculous, and when he tried it against Arsenal last year and West Ham ( I think) this season he deserved to be sent immediately on the bench,but I cannot see why is Okazaki in front of him. Vardy is unplayable currently and is a beast,Ulloa is ridiculously slow but has vision,Okazaki has nothing but pace and stamina-thats my point of view.   

I began to watch your games when he came to Leicester,and believe someone who is objective,you are not even 5% the same team you were last January,and its thrilling to watch how you improve from game to game,and you® fans are incredible. 

Best regards from Rijeka (Croatia) and I apologise for possible grammar mistakes! GO FOXES!

I think he needs to leave. For the player primarily. Two managers now don't see Kram as warranting a starting position. It's not good for him not to be playing so if I were him I'd be looking for a move.

Whether he's good enough to start...well I think he possibly is. But I'm not arguing with Pearson or Ranieri. They see him in training and I don't.

[Captain...]

Sad to see these comments, I get why he may be frustrated but making these comments public is just putting himself under real pressure if he gets a chance.

He's clearly got talent just hope it doesn't go to waste.

[Guest]

Krammy could score more than Waghorn at celtic.
