whoareyaaa Posted 25 October 2015 Posted 25 October 2015 Is having his best season yet and is looking better every week!!! Scholes all over. Him and Kante are running the centre mid atm. One negative for Danny yesterday was too many long hopefull passes, yes now and again but would be alot better playing it on the ground or short for the majority of the time.
conLAD logan Posted 25 October 2015 Posted 25 October 2015 According to whoscored, he's attempted the most passed off the ground in the league this season, shows perhaps some of the tactics Claudio has installed in our team. Using long passes to our wingers or strikers so we can get the ball forward as quickly as possible and damage teams.
4everfox Posted 25 October 2015 Posted 25 October 2015 He looks like the complete midfielder this season if I do say so myself. If he can add goals to his game he would be an England regular.
iancognito Posted 25 October 2015 Posted 25 October 2015 I think if Drinky had been in this form last season they wouldn't have bothered with Inler, who must be wondering if he's just here for the cup teams. Drinkwater just seems to have learned that Cambiasso ability to find an extra 2 yards of space and ping it to the winger or one of the strikers. He's always got a bit of time on the ball now and that's definitely something he's developed.
antspants Posted 25 October 2015 Posted 25 October 2015 Don't usually post, just lurk and read , but had to comment on this as I thought Danny was immense yesterday. He and Kante are an excellent combo, DD's touch and very quick distribution was great yesterday and he was constantly looking to get us moving forward. Yes there was the odd occasion where he didn't necessarily need to switch play with a long cross field ball, but when they work and set us on the front foot nobody is complaining DD and Kante look as if they've created a good partnership and Kante is up to the speed of the premiership game already. To me that's what Inler looked to be short on and without game time how will he get it. He must be wondering how he's going to get a game without one of them getting injured.
Foxymcoxy Posted 25 October 2015 Posted 25 October 2015 DD was the only play who suffered from Cambiasso's addition to the team. Really had his role of dictating play taken by a class player. He has come out the other side a better player and is now ready to take charge of premier league games which is fantastic for us. Still room to improve but he is starting to look the player we knew he could be.

MPH Posted 25 October 2015 Posted 25 October 2015 I hate to be the bad guy, but he is putting in some class performances but that's different to him being class. When he can play well in a bad or off form team, that's when he'll be class for me.
shade Posted 25 October 2015 Posted 25 October 2015 I can't think to comment, I'm still in a state of shock with how col city fan manages to turn every single thread in to one of... 1. see, see everyone, see, I said we needed a tough tackling enforcer in the middle, that's why we're doing so well. 2. yeah as I always thought, Pearson was pretty crap. 3. cambiasso was the problem last year and the cause of all our woes.
Guest Col city fan Posted 25 October 2015 Posted 25 October 2015 Agree- he's obviously learnt from Esteban. Wonder how much he coached him? Either he's learnt from Cambiasso OR he suffered because of Cambiasso being ever-present in the side. Which do you think? It's funny that everybody else's improvement in general ability is linked to Cambiasso. Possibly because he took over from Pearson in terms of giving team talks?.... Either way, it's good that our player of the season in the promotion side is back to his very best. Drinkwater is pinging the ball about brilliantly this season, breaking up play and dictating tempo. He should be included in the England squad IMO.

When he can play well in a bad or off form team, that's when he'll be class for me. Have to agree. That will be the test. And if he loses form in conjunction with us starting to lose games, the same questions will be asked of him as always.

sdb Posted 25 October 2015 Posted 25 October 2015 Not it's not taken a year. It's taken an opportunity. Pearson didn't give it to him. Ranieri has. And he's taken it. Could've sworn he played last year at times. There's nothing wrong with needing time to adapt!
CORNFOX68 Posted 25 October 2015 Posted 25 October 2015 Not it's not taken a year. It's taken an opportunity. Pearson didn't give it to him. Ranieri has. And he's taken it. Exactly
CORNFOX68 Posted 25 October 2015 Posted 25 October 2015 He is brilliant. But just to remind ourselves when we played Middlesbrough, first match of the season three years ago, there were some on here screaming about him being the worst player we'd ever signed (well, apart from Vardy). Goes to show - players need time to develop - and fvck me, has he developed. Same at bournmouth this year blaming him for goal, and basically slagging him off every time he touched the ball

When he can play well in a bad or off form team, that's when he'll be class for me. That's true. Last season we had a class player who put in a lot of unclassy performances. He's had what? 10 classy performances this season whereas not many had that the whole of last season. Fuchs is also putting in Class performances at the mo.

What amazes me Col is that Drinky was the best player we had in the promotion season and could be again this season but according to the FTpundits he was crap last season. Go figure.

And of course he got less game time when Cambo was playing so he has had to wait to show what he has learned. He is now improving every week and the way he is linking up with Kante warms your cockles. I also agree that its not beyond the realms for him to be wearing an England shirt in the not too distant future. The whole team is gelling and several players are showing their potential .... there could be more new internationals in our team than we think !!

Go figure.Are you suggesting it's impossible for a player to not be great just because he has been before? You may have failed to notice but most of the team was fairly shit for large chunks of last season and it took most of the squad time to adapt and to find a style that worked.Nobody can sit here with a knowledge of Leicester and suggest he either a) didn't get a chance, or b) Was actually good last year. He played 23 games, more minutes than King and only just less than James. He had plenty of time to impress but failed to do so. Shock horror though two people derail threads again with their nonsense.

Get off your high horse if you can Babylon, you derail threads with your petty squables more than most other people on the board.

He played 23 games, more minutes than King and only just less than James. He had plenty of time to impress but failed to do so. i remember seeing something similar in the summer and thought that it was absolutely mental. shows how poor he was throughout last year that i can't really remember him playing much, if at all, let alone over half our games. when this was brought up in the summer i thought he'd had a handful of games, maybe 10 or so max. he played 23 times and played well once (man u at home). but it's cambiasso's fault innit or something
