Freesolo Posted 19 August 2015 Posted 19 August 2015 Seen Ulloa in town today he did not seem a happy bunny He is too slow for our current style of play it seems

TheSomersetFox Posted 19 August 2015 Posted 19 August 2015 Seen Ulloa in town today he did not seem a happy bunny Maybe because his wife made him go and do the shopping? Or because he stepped in shit?
I blame Wellens Posted 19 August 2015 Posted 19 August 2015 Great to say. Not a clue. They're all so bloody good.
MGLCFC Posted 19 August 2015 Posted 19 August 2015 Don't think we need a strongest team, as that will depend on how we set up against the opposition. What we do have now is a very strong squad, with good options. The difficulty may be keeping everyone happy.
SecretPro Posted 19 August 2015 Posted 19 August 2015 Loving the idea that because Ulloa isn't playing he just looks permanently miserable no matter what he's done or where he is.
sdb Posted 19 August 2015 Posted 19 August 2015 Having read the first half a dozen posts I'm pretty amazed!! People throwing in players that have barely ever worn the shirt and looked ropey, or chucking people in their wrong positions. For the time being surely the XI picks itself, but IMO it'd ultimately be: Kasper Was Huth Wes Schlupp Kante Inler Albrighton Mahrez Okazaki Vardy ...but I expect benny will eventually start and play RB (thus replacing was) as part of a 442. Hopefully he improves.
Ian S Posted 19 August 2015 Posted 19 August 2015 Whys everyone jizzing over Drinky again? He was poor last season and i've seen every minute of this season so far and can't say I've seen anything spectacular? His forward passing has been slightly better than last season but still not a patch on Esteban, his defensive game has again been slightly better but I still wouldn't consider it anything any other top half club would be interested in? Same applies to King. I have also seen every minute and I'm not sure you can know what number Drinkwater is based on your comments, either that or you really have not seen the games so far,he has been excellent as have a number of others. Alternatively you could be on the wind up.
TJB-fox Posted 19 August 2015 Posted 19 August 2015 Ulloas time will come, just doesn't help his case atm that the current XI are playing so well! He was great for us last year and although may not suit our livewire, high pressing format, he's a goalscorer and is still a massive asset to us
SecretPro Posted 19 August 2015 Posted 19 August 2015 I have also seen every minute and I'm not sure you can know what number Drinkwater is based on your comments, either that or you really have not seen the games so far,he has been excellent as have a number of others. Alternatively you could be on the wind up. I'm not saying he hasn't performed. I'm saying he isn't the world beater everyone is suddenly making out on here. In comparison to last season, yes he looks a world beater but now he's just performing where he should be and should have been last year. Like I said, Drinkwater and King probably wouldn't be a starting CM pairing in any other team in the top half. To make out like oh, doesn't matter that Cambiasso has gone because we have Drinkwater is a bit OTT in my opinion, that is all. Inler will probably replace King and Drinkwater will keep his place, but anyone suggesting Drinky is better than Inler clearly hasn't watch Inler play.

Hopefully he improves. It's just anticipation. Like for mine, I wasn't saying I think Inler, Fuchs, and Kante should all start next week. I just mean that midseason or near the end of the season, once everyone has started to acclimate, that's my guess for our best 11.

Hopefully he improves. Agree largely with this. Love Kingy but don't see him as a long term starter with Drinky on this form, Kante and Inler around. I would also prefer Was over RDL but I guess CR is thinking that playing RDL allows us to flex between a 352 and 442 without making a sub.

ScouseFox Posted 19 August 2015 Posted 19 August 2015 i've just watched robbie savage say ranieri will have no chance to tinker because our xi picks itself. he has lost the plot. we could put out two completely different XIs if we wanted.

Savage is a nobend. Club hero but still a nobend. He was slating Ranieri the other week and he was one of the Neil Lennon brigade as were muzzy, walsh et al.
Corky Posted 19 August 2015 Posted 19 August 2015 i've just watched robbie savage say ranieri will have no chance to tinker because our xi picks itself. he has lost the plot. we could put out two completely different XIs if we wanted. They should sack every pundit who uses Tinkerman this season when Ranieri is mentioned.
ScouseFox Posted 19 August 2015 Posted 19 August 2015 we could genuinely play two XIs and albeit one stronger than the other they could comfortably mix and match in a number of positions; Kasper RDL - Morgan - Huuuuuth - Fuchs Albrighton - King - Drinky - Mahrez Vards - Okazaki --------------- Schwarzer Benny - Moore - Was - Chilwell - Schlupp Inler - Kante - James Ulloa - Kramaric so much tinkerdink

ozleicester Posted 20 August 2015 Posted 20 August 2015 Glad i aint the manager to be honest. Its going to take some good man management to keep this group happy now. I hope it doesnt happen, but i can see Schlupp getting snapped up late in the window?
Merging Cultures Posted 20 August 2015 Posted 20 August 2015 Kasper Was - Wes - Huth Albrighton - Inler - Drinkwater - Schlupp - Mahrez - Vardy - Okazaki Subs: Schwarzer, Bennaloune, Fuchs, King, Kante, Kram, Ulloa
Dickov22 Posted 20 August 2015 Posted 20 August 2015 Kante has looked far too good to be a sub to me, just don't ask me who I'd replace him with. When we play a side like Man City, Chelsea etc I don't think we can play without a three man midfield- so does that mean one of Vardy and Okasaki misses out? Who? The manager has a lot of headaches to come, but that's a good thing. Situations like last season away at Chelsea where we had GTF and Hammond finish the game in centre mid should never have happened. I didn't want Ranieri here whatsoever, but I have to admit the signings he's made have strenghthened us in key areas.
