weller54 Posted 17 January 2016 Author Posted 17 January 2016 I'd have a team full of Ulloas ahead of one Rudy Gestede. I can't believe this is even an argument. God help us.. A team of Ulloas!!!!!
GaelicFox Posted 17 January 2016 Posted 17 January 2016 God help us.. A team of Ulloas!!!!! Marshall is above in the hospitality we Should get him down I'd say he would have done better with that crossed ball !
Guest Posted 17 January 2016 Posted 17 January 2016 I saw a stat the other day that we've conceded the most goals to substitutes in the Prem this season. I saw a stat that we've scored more goals at the end of games than other teams. Think Gray looked like a lively sub when he came on. Perhaps we need Krama on the bench
daddylonglegs Posted 17 January 2016 Posted 17 January 2016 I'd rather literally anyone in the squad playing than Ulloa, especially as a 'sub'. When the players see him come on they must just be thinking '**** saaaaaake'
StanSP Posted 17 January 2016 Posted 17 January 2016 I'm not sure scraping a draw at the worst team in the league after going one up is 'the sign of champions'. Even last year Villa away would have been a game we targeted as 3 points. No matter where we are in the table, a draw at the worst quality team is a poor result. Man City drew 0-0 at Villa. Shit happens. Move on, try not to play like that again.What Facecloth said. Look at the bigger picture.
Bayfox Posted 17 January 2016 Posted 17 January 2016 And lack of competion breeds insipid performances ! We need a really quality target man ! Desko off man city ? Might have to wait till summer for him But we Should be looking for a good one ! I assume you mean dzeko and his season long loan already includes a fee to make it permanent so although I would take him in a heartbeat it would be a difficult deal to do now.
weller54 Posted 17 January 2016 Author Posted 17 January 2016 Berahino fits this mould. GERRIMIN! Defo!... Time to splash the cash!
Guest Col city fan Posted 17 January 2016 Posted 17 January 2016 He's shite but better than what we have! Note to self...take a sabbatical from here for a bit. Again.
MC Prussian Posted 17 January 2016 Posted 17 January 2016 I'm not sure scraping a draw at the worst team in the league after going one up is 'the sign of champions'. Even last year Villa away would have been a game we targeted as 3 points. No matter where we are in the table, a draw at the worst quality team is a poor result. I think it's vital we start analyzing yesterday's game from two points of view: On an individual basis, it was indeed one of the worst, if not the worst LCFC Premier League game we've witnessed in a long time (Swansea away last season or Hull at home come close). The player and collective performance was very poor and to allow a team like this season's Villa to come back into the game was almost criminal. On the whole, however, for a club that is still somewhat punching above its weight, a point gained away from home and moving top of the Premier League once more is a good result. Our players need to rediscover their earlier form and work on their attitude and Ranieri hopefully has learnt his lesson in terms of substitutions. Ulloa and De Laet - for what?
fuchsntf Posted 17 January 2016 Posted 17 January 2016 The opinions on this topic, I have enjoyed more than the rubbish from yesterdays post match thread. No matter what the various and different opinions are, its recognised a weak point within our squad, where it seems nion 90% of us feel uncomfortable with. The 2nd- 3rd striker position. From my side of things, I believe with past posts,I have shown I dont like seeing individual players being targetted for over the top abuse or negative posts. This is/was based on giving players a fair chance or crack of the whip, so to say. Shinji, does go to ground far too easily, and should be more robust when competing for the ball. No pun intended, but he is slowly starting to find his feet, as far as him trying to find where he is at, and his form for the team. Ulloa, had a good 1st season, even in his subs games.This season so far, hes had some good influence, but is really after our 22 games, is misfiring and his play in front of goal has been well below par. His chance he had yesteday, having the ball nicked off his toes, before he could get his shot away, was typical of his form and use of game time, where even if we were in the bottom half, has been abysmal. He has so far not took one step forward, though he his in a more successfull team.I thought he should be offered patience, and time to knit into and find form in this 'NEW' Leicester. Being brutal, his main job is to score goals and assist the right side of the halfway line, his defending attributes are secondary.This season when either in shooting/goal chances, or being in a great position for a top scoring assist chance, hes consistently fluffed the opportunity.Hes had his moments but too many on the negative side, for PL standards.This from my point does not mean he cant hack it in the PL, he is just having a very poor period, which could well change, but we shouldnt keep waiting for it. He should be involved against Spurs, but we need for the rest of the season a different alternative, to these 2 players, again even if we were sitting in 15th or 10th in the table. Now then, we have Schlupp coming back from injury, IMO he could fit in that slot, adding to pace, it will worry the opposition, and offer up, other areas for Albrighton, Mahrez, and midfield to run into. We still have Kramaric, and this is my only negative thoughts direction Ranieri. Whether Krammy is having attitude, or having poor training session is for me immaterial. He is an 8mil rescource, I say again RESCOURCE we should be using, at this stage of the season. Gray...19yrs. Why not Sterling moves into the center occasionally .Ball control and again Pace. King... in a more advanced attacking position, who can also defend, but has the skill to move quickly forward. A.N.Other, buy in this transfer market.I still think Austin would of been worth a punt, too late now. The fact that Ranieri, is being stern, and not involving Kramaric, then the club should of decided to go out and look, short term older experienced, or younger player the manager would actually use. The suprise name. For the next 5-6 games Mahrez.!!! Why.. NP knew Mahrez, needed strengthening and to improve on his stamina.Mahrez has made massive strides in that department, but maybe just maybe, these 2 penalty misses, added to lack of confidence, and tiredness that was simmering withinside him, but adrenilin kept him going, until yesterday. He started quite well yesterday, but I thought I seen him loose something after the penalty miss, plus for the first time, after that, the whole team for well into the 2nd half seemed also to be mentally weary. So Might be worth shaking it up a little, have Gray in for Mahrez, and Mahrez coming on as that impact sub, It wouldnt mean automatically for Gray. My thoughts are our tinkerman, should now start to tinker with his squad and thoughts. All that said, Claudio has the wheel, not everyone agrees with manager's choices, plans, or selection, but I for one will take the rough with the smooth, he has done more than ok so far, and unlike some I thought his subs were ok yesterday, RDL was involved in our last positive moves, so there was no backward move.
