DennisNedry Posted 26 September 2015 Posted 26 September 2015 After a fantastic first two games for us including the West Ham goal, he's been a passenger in most of the games. Would sooner see Ulloa starting, gives us something a bit different.
filbertstreet Posted 26 September 2015 Posted 26 September 2015 will have to see at norwich, wouldn't mind 3-4-3 with ulloa vardy and shinji/kram
jimmeh Posted 26 September 2015 Posted 26 September 2015 Ulloa is poor at closing down and pressuring the defence though.
Jam Posted 26 September 2015 Posted 26 September 2015 Fully agree. So dissapointed with him. I was so excited when he signed aswell. Just seems so lightweight, goes down far too easily. I dunno i havent wrote him off and will always back him when playing but yeah...just don't rate him from what I've seen so far. Ulloa is poor at closing down and pressuring the defence though.We have Vards for that though right?

Bryn Posted 26 September 2015 Posted 26 September 2015 Thought he had a decent half really, doesn't look a goalscorer though.
DennisNedry Posted 26 September 2015 Author Posted 26 September 2015 Don't let your dislike of me get in the way of a valid point, FIF Leo holds it up and is effective in the air, Okazaki doesn't really offer anything more than Nugent did.
Frank to be Posted 26 September 2015 Posted 26 September 2015 I thought he was ok first half. I don't think his replacement Andy King was any better. The only thing I'd like to see, is if we're going to have Albrighton swinging balls in, then Ulloa is the man we want in the box. Pearson made the Albrighton off, Ulloa on substitution about a dozen times last season and it never worked. It was strange then and it's still strange now.
lifted*fox Posted 26 September 2015 Posted 26 September 2015 It should have been Okazaki off, Ulloa on. The substitution (Okazaki for King) was weird and didnt work. It nullified out attack and Arsenal still controlled the midfield even with King, Drinky and Kante in there. Ranieri seemed to notice and correct it but bringing Albrighton off wasn't the right choice. Drinky should have made way for Ulloa imo.
DB11 Posted 26 September 2015 Posted 26 September 2015 I was impressed with Ulloa in the week against West Ham. I'd like to see him start in place of Shinji now
kingfox Posted 26 September 2015 Posted 26 September 2015 We shouldn't of took him off more like, first bad tactical decision I've seen Ranieri make.
Guest Posted 26 September 2015 Posted 26 September 2015 Don't let your dislike of me get in the way of a valid point, FIF Leo holds it up and is effective in the air, Okazaki doesn't really offer anything more than Nugent did. I have no like or dislike of you. You don't even beep on my radar so get over yourself. It must be that you happen to post badly often. You've clearly got a bag on about Okazaki, I don't believe it's racist but I know some on here have said that. Ulloa is too much of a donkey for our fast style of play. He's good when teams are sitting back with a lead and we're attacking but he can't chase down the ball and when teams have possession - as every team seems to have against us - he is pretty useless. It's horses for courses.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 26 September 2015 Posted 26 September 2015 He's a good player and a fantastic option to have but I'm surprised he started today given we didn't really press Arsenal as we have other sides at home - even more surprised he was subbed for King when we were chasing the game. As mentioned he's a very tidy option to have, though.
RedSoxUK Posted 26 September 2015 Posted 26 September 2015 Thought Ulloa would start after his brilliant game vs West Ham, was a shame not to see him in the 11. Looked better with him on the pitch. I'd start him.
NewburyFox Posted 26 September 2015 Posted 26 September 2015 I thought he played okay today and taking him off nullified our attack completely, although I'd put that more down to the change in system than Okazaki himself.
Guest Sharpe's Fox Posted 26 September 2015 Posted 26 September 2015 I'd give Kram a chance personally but can see why you wouldn't
Matt Posted 26 September 2015 Posted 26 September 2015 Gotta say I didn't understand the sub. Ok take Okazaki off, I understood but for King? Now I like King, but I just didn't understand it, surely in that situation your bring Ulloa on.
Guest Mee-9 Posted 26 September 2015 Posted 26 September 2015 Ulloa's genuinely been a bit of a game changer recently, so you'd expect him to start. Okazaki's not done too much recently though, which is a shame. But then again, he's still probably getting to grips with the english game.
Mark Posted 26 September 2015 Posted 26 September 2015 Time was a few games ago but the problem is no alternative winger as we could then move Mahrez into that position, which would benefit De Laet too. Hopefully Dyer is back next week.
dmayne7 Posted 26 September 2015 Posted 26 September 2015 Gotta say I didn't understand the sub. Ok take Okazaki off, I understood but for King? Now I like King, but I just didn't understand it, surely in that situation your bring Ulloa on. It was more that he brought on a midfielder and to change the shape, then changed back to the original set up 15 mins later. Strange. Personally thought he looked a lot livelier today. Just feel with his energy and work rate, it's pointless subbing him at half time. Give him another 20 mins to run down the defence then bring somebody else on.
Dickov22 Posted 26 September 2015 Posted 26 September 2015 No point in picking Ulloa when you don't leave the best crosser in the side on the pitch. Bet the owners put the pressure on CR to pick Okasaki
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 26 September 2015 Posted 26 September 2015 Bet the owners put the pressure on CR to pick Okasaki I bet they don't

It's horses for courses. Agree to disagree then. I think Ulloa (who got 13 goals last season) was unfortunate to be dropped from the starting XI and think he's been good in the cup games. He deserves another run in the side. I think people underestimate how good it is to have somebody who can hold the ball up and bring others into play.
