LAprice_ Posted 11 January 2016 Posted 11 January 2016 Gray has played ONE game for us. Chilwell has played TWO. And yet both are now being talked about as being further ahead in the "pecking" order than Schlupp. It's rubbish. Schlupp's had bad games and good games playing at LW and LB. I'm sure Gray and Chilwell will also have both bad and good. Just because their combined 3 games have all been "promising", it doesn't mean we should dismiss Schlupp, who, by the way, is our second longest serving player... Schlupp is turning into the new Andy King. Despite years and years of proving his worth, he's still underrated.

Schlupp is turning into the new Andy King. Despite years and years of proving his worth, he's still underrated. They both look like footballers though, Schlupp looks like someone just pulled him off an Athletics track and told him to run with the ball towards the other team's line. Schlupp still has a role to play for us as his pace can be devestating at times, but he can also be equally inefficient and like he has never seen a football in his life. He will continue to play an important role for us until we sign somebody with his athleticism who can deliver regular results.
Vindaloo FOX Posted 11 January 2016 Posted 11 January 2016 massive fan of this young man , he was just a striker then was asked to play left back and then went on to also play left wing . and he done this without throwing his toys out his pram and saying stuff like he just wants to play upfront like some prim donna would . Jeff just gets on with it and he is just happy to be playing Prem football for Leicester. I hope when he gets fit he goes out and tries to get upfront again, Kram is not in CR plans their is a spaces their to be taken, go get it Super JEFF !!!!

Wymsey Posted 12 January 2016 Posted 12 January 2016 A really frustrating player. He's able to tackle and read situations well, but his crossing and shooting are not of PL standard.

Schlupp is turning into the new Andy King. Despite years and years of proving his worth, he's still underrated. Exactly - some of the comments are extraordinary. It's new toy syndrome to some extent. All Gray and Chilwell have done so far is shown some promise - and extremely encouraging it was too. Schlupp has made a significant contribution over years, and is still young and learning. We've missed his raw pace since he's been out and, while I can't prove it, I imagine him to be considerably stronger than Gray and Chilwell right now, which is likely to count against some opponents. I just hope all three turn out to be brilliant and see no reason why they can't. When I think of the sort of shit we had to watch in the not-so-distant days of Levein and Rob Kelly it's marvellous to imagine that these three clearly capable players are not even selection certainties with the standards we're setting. That we should even be having this debate about such clearly capable players is remarkable given the sort of shit we had to watch not so long ago in Craig Levein and Rob Kelly's time.
Thracian Posted 12 January 2016 Posted 12 January 2016 Gray and Chilwell are footballers,Schlupp is not, simple. There's nothing simple about it. Frank Large was never a "footballer" but, my life, what an impact he made. Alan Woollett was another. Invaluable at times yet all he really did was mark people so close he must have felt like a coat. Schlupp's a perfectly capable footballer when at his best - I've seen it countless times - but he's inconsistent in that aspect. His crossing's the same - I'd be out on the training ground every afternoon if I were him working on precise final crosses, corners and free-kicks. But what's never missing is the pace to go past almost anyone if he tries, the athleticism to recover and help his team-mates and the strength to win most any physical contest either down the flank or in midfield. No, he's not the finished article, but there's no easy way to counter what he has got and it's been important to us at times including during our remarkable escape from Premiership relegation. How soon people forget and move on, but then it's so often the same with both things and relationships these days. It's a throw away society and a wonder even marriages aren't sorted on the basis of a 12-month contract with 12 months option.
fuchsntf Posted 12 January 2016 Posted 12 January 2016 Schlupp is so much underrated on this forum. Just to hold balance on all the opinions, some saying hes not good enough in this or that postion. I reckon he is a striker, and can play on the wing, not my 1st choice as a Fullback, but would be happy if he had to fill in, in the odd game there. I for one would be disppointed if he, was moved on. oh forgot...In the past Hes had some good games at being the 2nd striker, extra pace next to Vardy, would be worth another go.
Sharpe's Foxes Posted 15 February 2016 Posted 15 February 2016 Can't wait for him to come back. With Okazaki's form and Kante-Mahrez-Vardy will have blazing speed on the attack.

With him and Amartey on the bench we'll only need 2 subs. I wouldn't mind seeing him up top with Vardy as a sub, raw paaaaccccceee. Anyone know when he'll be ready?
GlennyFox55 Posted 15 February 2016 Posted 15 February 2016 Against Bournemouth away he was the best player on the pitch. He's quality always finds a way to break through a defensive line just let down on occasion by his final product.
Chester Dontlie Posted 15 February 2016 Posted 15 February 2016 Me too, can't wait to see him on the pitch again. One of my favourite players since I started following Leicester few seasons ago. For that inimitable unpredictability and entertainment value. Also, he's got some pace and can shoot. Also,
Guest CityFan 06 Posted 15 February 2016 Posted 15 February 2016 He will be a great boost to the squad when he's ready to play again I reckon. His pace is superb and gives us another good option. Same with James. I think he will be another great boost to the squad as well. Another very good midfield option.
Thracian Posted 16 February 2016 Posted 16 February 2016 Is there still no signs of his returning? Hamstring? They'll have figured how to grow new ones by the time this episode's over. I mention it because Gray's just an emerging youngster by comparison. Schlupp's speed and strength are on a different level at this stage - at least they used to be. But whether he'll ever come back as the same force is the more worrying aspect now. Anything that keeps a player out as long as this is of serious concern.
suffolk fox Posted 16 February 2016 Posted 16 February 2016 Believe me if you tear or rip a hamstring it can take as long as up to six months before you fully recover. I played footie at a semi professional level for many years I did both hammys the second one really badly. You never had operations on them in those days especially if you weren't a fully blown pro. Schlupp did which indicates he must have torn it badly. They can be career ending as they are never quite the same afterwards. It, certainly was for me. Even now, in my 50's I often feel them tighten etc after running in the gym they are never the same afterwards. Let's hope Schlupp returns ok.

Claudio said in his press conference pre Arsenal, he's doing the warm ups in training then goes to work with physio's

I cringed reading this...American football collegiately and I tore both mine up as well. I kept re-injuring them and eventually had to sit out an entire season to rehab and re-configure my muscular strength to prevent re-injury. I'm still absurdly paranoid regarding any activity that involves quick movements or sprints. I hope he's getting the best treatment that he can, and that he doesn't rush to return!
Guest MattP Posted 16 February 2016 Posted 16 February 2016 I think Schulpp will struggle to get a look in when he's back. Chilwell has probably usurped him as second choice left back and they clearly rate Gray very highly to be putting him on every week at some point.
Koke Posted 16 February 2016 Posted 16 February 2016 I miss Schlupp running with the ball out of play and miscontrollng a five yard pass. But seriously, he could be useful asset. Prefer to bring him on late in games instead of Dyer.
gerrytaggart Posted 16 February 2016 Posted 16 February 2016 If you combine the key attributes of Vardy, Mahrez and Kante you have one of Jeffs nuts. Hope you read this Jeff....and no offense to your other nut.
49er Posted 16 February 2016 Posted 16 February 2016 Schlupp was on the Tunnel Cam video for the Chelsea match. He was on crutches, so not sure how that equates to a hamstring injury?
Jimmy Posted 16 February 2016 Posted 16 February 2016 Schlupp was on the Tunnel Cam video for the Chelsea match. He was on crutches, so not sure how that equates to a hamstring injury? well if you pull a hamstring bad enough to need an operation you can't walk on that leg
Guest Col city fan Posted 16 February 2016 Posted 16 February 2016 Gotta say that young Scouse has probably got this right. We've not really missed Jeff too much. That said, I'm sure he can come back and do a job. For instance, when we brought Gray on against Arsenal, a better bet would have been Schlupp in that situation, imo. He's got more Prem experience, can hold the ball up better and is physically stronger. Jeff is a great young squad player.

Either I'm going soft in my old age or I actually agree with you 100% in a post about Schlupp.
