The Guvnor Posted 24 September 2015 Posted 24 September 2015 To be honest I don't think CR has helped this situation among fans with all the hype following his signing , he has been quite frankly a massive disappointment as far as I'm concerned he should not be playing in the starting eleven judged on his performances so far.

hackneyfox Posted 24 September 2015 Posted 24 September 2015 Did Ranieri hype Inler up, or was it the normal FT hype of any new player we are interested in?

Guest Col city fan Posted 24 September 2015 Posted 24 September 2015 That's the point you should play on performances not on reputation Absolutely spot on IMO. If Inler is on form, play him. If not, don't and play someone who is. Exactly the same with the international set up IMO. First, play the class players who are in form. If they aren't, play the in-form players. If that makes sense...

You can't afford to wait for someone to have a lull in form either. Claudio is doing the right thing by giving him time here and there while keeping the players that are bang in form hungry and fresh. Inler is clearly improving. He's not even had one full Premier League game yet, you're being way too quick to judge here.
filbertstreet Posted 24 September 2015 Posted 24 September 2015 Did Ranieri hype Inler up, or was it the normal FT hype of any new player we are interested in? normal hype I think, there was even a bloke from napoli who came here and said he was shit iirc

He's not even had one full Premier League game yet, you're being way too quick to judge here. I'm not judging. It's too soon to judge. The point I'm making is don't play Inler on name alone. So far, he's been not good enough. The other midfielders have been better. So play the in-form players. If Inler shows clear signs that he's going to regain some form, then swap it around. We all want to see Inler pulling the strings. I love a midfield playmaker having been brought up first with McAllister, then Parker, Muzzy etc. But don't risk the balance of the side by playing an out of form player on name alone. That's all I'm saying,

No one hyped Inler up from the club any more than any other signing we have made, the fans were the ones hyping him up. Give him a chance the season is just over a month old!! You are right he doesn't deserve he spot at the minute but if he does play that he is obviously showing something in training and I will stick by CR and his choices.
Blue Ed Posted 24 September 2015 Posted 24 September 2015 whilst form is a big part of picking the team. Our squad is now good enough where we can pick teams to nullify opposition threats and expose their weaknesses. IMO Inler should be the player to close down threats like Orzil

CR said Inler could be the next Diego Marodona for LCFC if that's not hype what is
The Horse's Mouth Posted 24 September 2015 Posted 24 September 2015 Really? CR said Inler could be the next Diego Marodona for LCFC if that's not hype what is No he didn't, he compared the transfer. As in, a change of fortunes. D10S signing for Napoli put Napoli back on the map and he meant that he intended Inler to do exactly that for us.
hornyhollthefox123 Posted 24 September 2015 Posted 24 September 2015 Completely understand both sides of the argument here, and he's shown some very good and very bad bits in a Leicester shirt thus far. He's extremely composed on the ball and has two fantastic feet, and by definition he really is a classic deep lying playmaker. I think people are wrong to criticise but also i don't think we will see a dramatic change in how he plays. http://www.squawka.com/football-player-rankings#duels-won#player-stats#english-barclays-premier-league|season-2015/2016#all-teams#midfielder#16#43#0#0#90#08/08/2015#21/09/2015#season#1#all-matches#tackle#desc#90- If you sort the tackles in order of significance you'll see he makes an average of 4.54 tackles per 90mins he has played to date (3rd best in the Prem this season - only behind Kante & Arteta) so he clearly has had some impact while playing. He's made some good tackles and breaks up the play well but he can be quite slow on the ball (in terms of how quickly recycled possession becomes an attack) but that is how he has always played. In a good Swiss & Napoli side he has been used to playing for a team who see a lot more of the ball than we do. We play a style based on low possession / direct, counter attacking football with a huge onus on pressing and shape when we are without the ball. I think that's key here - Most of the players we have signed in recent times fit in with this mould (Kante, Mahrez, Albrighton, Dyer, Okazaki) etc and Inler is in a very different mould and as mentioned in this thread he appears to be a signing of Ranieri as opposed to Walsh bringing him in. He's a controlling type who it may prove is best coming on to see a game out for us or to sure up possession, but people certainly shouldn't write him off just yet! He's just very different to how we play
MC Prussian Posted 24 September 2015 Posted 24 September 2015 I love it when an international captain with 83 caps is written off as shight... 85 caps, johnny... 85... Number 86 and 87 likely to follow this October.
MC Prussian Posted 24 September 2015 Posted 24 September 2015 Did Ranieri hype Inler up, or was it the normal FT hype of any new player we are interested in? I can't think of Ranieri hyping anyone up. At best, he has praised Inler in the past for his experience and his abilities to break up play. Some people just got slightly too carried away with the name and had somewhat unrealistic expectations (expecting a 1:1 Cambiasso replacement).
MC Prussian Posted 24 September 2015 Posted 24 September 2015 Really? CR said Inler could be the next Diego Marodona for LCFC if that's not hype what is No, he didn't. He said that in a few years time the impact of the signing could maybe compared to Napoli signing Maradona in the 80ies: As a declaration of intent that would then spark further high-profile signings to benefit the club and the squad in particular.

copunk Posted 24 September 2015 Posted 24 September 2015 I think defensively he's pretty good, wins the ball back well,however after that it seems like his head goes and he can't remember how to pass the ball, some of the long balls he tried on Tuesday were ridiculously short, in time I think he will come good, just not had a good start

Well the article I read did say that, maybe a twist of the original but anyway enough of semantics merely stating the two names as comparisons and possible impact is ridiculous
wokinghamfox Posted 24 September 2015 Author Posted 24 September 2015 Inler for me is a very uninteresting footballer. His game seems to be about little touches, the occasional tackle and no more than a trot around the pitch. I havent seen him create anything yet. Is there such thing as a boring professional footballer?.
Sharpe's Fox Posted 24 September 2015 Posted 24 September 2015 Don't care how good he was, can or will be his recent performances and those of Drinkwater, Kante and King mean he shouldn't be starting in midfield be it in a two or a three.

He's just very different to how we play Well said Horny. Its almost - he's a good player - in context. He just doesnt seem to fit our style - currently.. Maybe CR wanted to swing more that way but tbh it would take a complete overhaul of our team to start playing the tippy tappy possession passing game. We shall see - way too early to write the guy off!
st albans fox Posted 24 September 2015 Posted 24 September 2015 at some point, opposition teams will set up in a disciplined fashion to stop our counter attack style. more likely to be those coming to the KP desperate for a point. They will sit v deep and get men behind the ball. we will need a plan D and inler's style may come into its own at that time. Reading members who think they know more than a manager with 30 years experience (much of it at the very top level) does make me chuckle.

I can see Inler coming into his own in that scenario. The second bit ain't needed. It's a football forum and about football opinions.
Tuna Posted 3 October 2015 Posted 3 October 2015 Beginning to look more and more difficult to see where he fits in at LCFC. 4 choice at the moment and rightly so.
