TeamRocket Posted 28 December 2015 Posted 28 December 2015 Looks like Vardy is out for man city game according to sky sports news
lgfualol Posted 28 December 2015 Posted 28 December 2015 Really think if we're against Man City Kram doing the Okazaki role would be a disaster. I'd feel better with him in the Vardy role. Our attack just seems so toothless without Vardy. Scary. Not keen on playing both Ulloa and Okazaki. Don't really have a reason why, just don't feel comfortable with the idea of it. Because they'll both be falling over whenever we attack
RowlattsFox Posted 28 December 2015 Posted 28 December 2015 Is vardy suffering with illness or is it another injury? If we can get an hour out of him then he should play. He can sit the Bournemouth game out of needs be. City defence is all over the place and our only chance of winning is taking advantage of that.
DJ Barry Hammond Posted 28 December 2015 Posted 28 December 2015 Why's everyone dropping Huth? My personal opinion is he's starting to creak a little.
foxes21 Posted 28 December 2015 Posted 28 December 2015 If Vardy is out I think it will be Ulloa & Kramaric. Shinji looked knackered in the Liverpool game. Not sure about Kram in the Vardy role, he likes to drop deep and get on the ball. But we can't play Ulloa in the Vardy role because he's too slow. Hopefully Kram stays disciplined up top and plays on the shoulder.

foxes21 Posted 28 December 2015 Posted 28 December 2015 Kasper Simpson Huth Morgan Fuchs Kante Inler King Mahrez Kramaric Dyer Swap King for DD and that could actually work. But would Claudio change our formation and the way we play? I doubt it. Mahrez-Kramaric-Dyer combo would be great to see though. Similar to how Stoke played against Man city.
Fox92 Posted 28 December 2015 Posted 28 December 2015 We're fvcked if Vardy is out. His sheer persistence and hard work alone is a key attribute to our game, something Kramaric and Ulloa can't/don't do. Okazaki does but not like the same quality as Vardy.
Bluetintedspecs Posted 28 December 2015 Posted 28 December 2015 Why don't we stick a fkn white flag on the pitch and hand them the 3 points? Once again I cant believe what im reading. Yes certain things like Vardy out , if true ,will be a blow but do we bow down and accept we're a 2/3 man team like the pundits we berate do? Or do we find and get behind the replacements and believe? A weak and lily livered approach in the face of adversity is not the Leicester City I know's way. Man City have not been world beaters on the road of late and our great team is not where we are just because of 2/3 players, thats an insult to the rest of the TEAM. Time for others to step up and say look im good enough boss and for us to continue believing and supporting. COYB.

Mahrez-Kramaric-Dyer combo would be great to see though. Similar to how Stoke played against Man city. Could we even try Mahrez in a 3 man midfield similar to where Affelay played? slightly advanced cm on the right? Kante, DD, Mahrez then a front 3 of Dyer, Kram and Albrighton?? Thats assuming Vardy isn't fit.
Guest CityFan 06 Posted 28 December 2015 Posted 28 December 2015 If he's not ready and 100%, I'd probably be cautious and rather play either Kramaric, Ulloa or Okazaki. It's better for him to fully recover so he can be back properly fit and ready again. However, if he is fit to play and the management/medical team believe it's ok for him to play, I'd absolutely trust in them. And if he has recovered in time for Tuesday's game, then that's a great boost for us.

Without Vardy (and Mahrez) I don't know where we'd be, certainly not top of the league. There is no doubt I would bid for Charlie Austin in January.

Vardy wasn't banging in goals for fun last year yet we survived, though his industry undoubtedly contributed. Knacker him now and we will lose him for several games. Don't see why Mahrez would be any more tired than any of the others. Would try Okazaki in the Vardy position to start personally which is possibly a little more natural to him than being a terrier in midfield. Krameric behind him would also give him a start in the position he preferred at his former club. We then get to see a bit more of whether they'd be up to it should the Vardy wheel come off big time which is always a posibility given his style of play. We've always Ulloa to bring on. If we lose, not the end of the world as it's the next run of games that would give more chance of cementing a European spot anyway. I still think we can put up a good show without Vardy, if we can't then arguably we're not serious contenders anyway, other teams have to compete without their main strikers.
whoareyaaa Posted 28 December 2015 Posted 28 December 2015 I think the lads will realise they didn't turn up at Anfield and with Arsenal slipping up I think it will give them a lot more confidence going into this one knowing we can stlll be top of the pile with 3 points, Man city have looked awful at times this season and we should look to take advantage of that dodgy defence. Kram should be given the nod if Vardy isn't fit even if he is fit he should be given his chance.
Fox92 Posted 28 December 2015 Posted 28 December 2015 But without Vardy we won't have the persistence, the channel runs or even the chance to put the ball over the top.
CharlieCharles Posted 28 December 2015 Posted 28 December 2015 Ive been saying we are not a one man team all season but when you remove Vardy from the squad we loose so much attacking threat.
I blame Wellens Posted 28 December 2015 Posted 28 December 2015 On THIS forum: Think the lack of trust in Ulloa and Okazaki is a concern. Are we saying that a new striker is a must in the transfer window. Many now calling for Kramaric in what many are seeing as a must not lose game. Lack of trust in King now so are we saying a midfielder is a priority. Funny how it has changed in one game from Simpson, once seen our only weak link, to the midfield and attack.

Probably because of our league postion and performance at Anfield, what do you expect? when you are at the top of the game you will be criticised.
Nuneatonfox in Manchester Posted 28 December 2015 Posted 28 December 2015 All about the performance here, if we get battered confidence will be gone, Kompany out is a boost but that's nullified by Vards' likely emission. Narrow defeat with a solid display wouldn't be the end of the world 2-1 Man City
stix Posted 28 December 2015 Posted 28 December 2015 thats the point - he was 'on his own'. completely! What's the point?
Guest Posted 28 December 2015 Posted 28 December 2015 I'll say it again. If Vardy is out Okazaki should replace him up front - that is his natural position and he'll put in as much effort as Vardy with nearly as much speed - Kramaric should then play the Okazaki role, that is his natural position too, just off the attacker.

I'm not suggesting we roll over for them or that the replacements are not good enough. But I would like to see krammy have leo to feed off. Unlike last season when nfp left him on his own. But just wondering if we would not rather have our best team avaliable for Bournemouth, spurs and villa as an example. If we play vardy or drinkwater when not fully fit they are more likely to suffer injury. Now looks like the time to be rotating a bit. Rest players v man city. If fit bring them back for Bournemouth take them out the firing line again for spurs in the cup if we feel the need. That way the fringe players get 2 games in short space of time.
lgfualol Posted 28 December 2015 Posted 28 December 2015 This game last season we beat Hull 0-1 somehow
