leicesterseddon Posted 23 September 2015 Posted 23 September 2015 I don't see why we have to force ourselves into a false choice between Fuchs and Schlupp. It's clear that we're wasting Schlupp's talents by not playing him as a winger anyway. As for the right back...I'm still not sure. There's a case to replace RDL - but I still feel the fundamental problem is co-ordination between the defence and the midfield, our propensity to get stretched by our counter-attacking style and the (lack of) cover provided by Mahrez. Simply ditching RDL is not going to change that.
MPH Posted 23 September 2015 Posted 23 September 2015 It still makes me want to vomit to have Simpson playing for our club. I can completely see why his contract hasn't been cancelled, the appeal,ect.... but to actually pick him for the first team...
Foxhateram Posted 23 September 2015 Posted 23 September 2015 Schlupp s pace is really useful at the back. He can bomb up and down that wing. Often if we lose possession he manages to get back quickly so we don't get caught. Fuchs won't offer that but his positioning would probably be better. Difficult choice. The rest chosen itself on form to be honest. Huth and Morgan and de leat. De leat is not as bad as people are making out, he has some tough wingers to deal with. Arsenal will counter at pace with ox and Walcott in the team. We need de leat and schlupp pace to counter that.
BlueTillIDie Posted 23 September 2015 Posted 23 September 2015 No clean sheets yet and personally think the wink link is the full backs but with limited options at right back would love to see Fuchs get a start as looked Immense last night. De Laet Morgan Huth Fuchs
ScouseFox Posted 23 September 2015 Posted 23 September 2015 depends who they play. if they do that weird ramsey on one wing sanchez cutting in off the other then i'd go schlupp and rdl cos i wouldn't be too concerned by them getting in behind us. if they go walcott/ox/loadsa good wingers then we need good full backs and perhaps schlupp/albrighton as a winger to double up at times. bit of a tricky one. wouldn't change the cbs.
Great Boos Up Posted 23 September 2015 Posted 23 September 2015 Ummm, left quietly to bin a loune, then more gan likely, I would truhuthfully say that simpsonly I'm fuchs if I know.
sdb Posted 23 September 2015 Posted 23 September 2015 Typical this. Everyone wants to change the side and you just know that if/when we lose they'll be bemoaning the changes 'to an unbeaten side'.
Dennis118555 Posted 25 September 2015 Posted 25 September 2015 I think I'd change the family stand with the kop.
Livid Posted 25 September 2015 Posted 25 September 2015 Morgan is our Captain, he will play. Other than the howler at Stoke he's not done much wrong. Huth has been ok. I listened to the radio 5 commentary after the Villa game and they were saying he was constantly fouling but I must have missed it. Both of them look more comfortable in a back three though. Left and Right back are tough calls. If Mahrez plays in the middle whoever is on the right may give RDL more support. I'm not convincedby Simpson after one decent game. Jeff to start for me, I just think his speed if he gets going offers such a threat. Close call though if Fuchs had played a bit more football this year I would be tempted. As we always seem to be chasing the game defensive substitutions are a rarity.
Guest Col city fan Posted 25 September 2015 Posted 25 September 2015 Not a game where I'd consider dropping Schlupp. We are going to require pace and athleticism for this one. It's going to be rapid tempo, Again.hes hardly put a foot wrong all season, yet people want him out? Typical this. Everyone wants to change the side and you just know that if/when we lose they'll be bemoaning the changes 'to an unbeaten side'. :
EGBFitness Posted 25 September 2015 Posted 25 September 2015 Why would we change? Nothing wrong with defence from last prem game that has been the same all season. Yes we have conceded but if you want to play counter attacking football this is going to happen
HighPeakFox Posted 25 September 2015 Posted 25 September 2015 lmao at the peasants saying morgan huth And this is how people get totally pissed off....gratuitous rudeness for expressing an opinion
Footballwipe Posted 25 September 2015 Posted 25 September 2015 Back four? I was thinking we could try 2-1-3-1-3 Kasper Wes Huth Kante Albrighton Drinkwater Dyer Mahrez Ulloa Vardy Kramaric

It's going to be rapid tempo, Again.hes hardly put a foot wrong all season, yet people want him out? : I'd like to think that the people who are putting Fuchs in at left back would probably put Schlupp in front of him, not 'wanting him out' as you put it.
SpacedX Posted 25 September 2015 Posted 25 September 2015 Not a game where I'd consider dropping Schlupp. We are going to require pace and athleticism for this one. It's going to be rapid tempo, Again.hes hardly put a foot wrong all season, yet people want him out? : Agree, but like last season his frequently found out of position and often doesn't instinctively track back or close his man down. Start Fuchs (we need experience and composure) and in the absence of Dyer deploy Schlupp as an impact sub. Right now as possibly the fittest team in the Prem we are running other sides dead - happened against Villa, Stoke and West Ham...although Arsenal are a different proposition altogether.

He's done very well but he has still cost us goals and is part of a defence that is leaking them for fun, Fuchs on Tuesday looked exactly how I expect an International left back to look. There is still a huge question about where to play Schulpp and I don't think we are anywhere nearer to finding out what his best position is. I still think his future is in a more advanced attacking role.

I think you made your feelings about Schlupp known on here last season didn't you Matt?We'll always differ in opinion over Schlupp. Despite his mind going walkies every so often (most defenders do have lapses of concentration) I think young Jeff has been one of City's best performers for months. This isn't to dismiss Christian Fuchs. He looks good stuff. But I see no reason to drop Schlupp for Arsenal. If anyone is going to have the pace and fitness level to run down their oncoming midfielders, it's him. Schlupp, along with Vardy and at present, Kante, would be amongst the first names on my team sheet.

NotTheMarketLeader Posted 25 September 2015 Posted 25 September 2015 Should be a back 3. Neither right back is acceptable. This

Schlupp, along with Vardy and at present, Kante, would be amongst the first names on my team sheet. I said he did well last season but I still think as we progress he'll probably end up being replaced by someone of higher quality due to the fact he'll struggle to make a position his own, I don't think that is something that is still beyond the realms of possibility. He's done well this season but to suggest he would be ahead of Mahrez as one of the first names on the team sheet is bonkers for me.
