justfoxes Posted 11 September 2016 Posted 11 September 2016 So Kante jumped ship to Chelski but now that's history! Amartey looked a bit out of his depth at times yesterday and Mendy is out injured, but as read somewhere for the champions league Okazaki and Musa have been noted as midfielders so until we get a decent midfielder hopefully silva coming in January don't you think give our little Japanese Dynamo a run in that position? he's quick tackles well goes at players like a terrier after a bone why not try him there and see how he goes can't be as bad as yesterday? That then leaves Slimani upfront with Either Vardy or Musa to grab the goals so what's your thoughts on giving Shinji Kantes old role surely can't be worse than what he have already?
Koke Posted 11 September 2016 Posted 11 September 2016 I'd rather not. His first touch is poor. His close control is even worse. And he falls over repeatedly. He doesn't have what it takes to play CM. Okazaki's best position is on the bench.
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 11 September 2016 Posted 11 September 2016 We're in full meltdown mode 4 games into the season. Outstanding
lgfualol Posted 11 September 2016 Posted 11 September 2016 We really ****ed up this Summer if resorting to Shinji in midfield is our best option.
Fox92 Posted 11 September 2016 Posted 11 September 2016 Shinji has made the support striker his own. He needs to play and he needs to play there.... Musa replaced him yesterday and did what? His link up play wasn't as good as Okazaki's and he didn't drop into midfield like Okazaki does. We seem to be lost when Okazaki goes off, it happened at Hull too.

That's what I mean we miss Shinji when he goes off so to keep him continuing to support the team when Claudio plays Slimani rather have him on the pitch than on the bench ? i really think he could prove a lot of people wrong in the midfield position !!

I know we're now in a position where we have Mahrez, Albrighton, Gray, Kapuska, Slimani, Vardy, Okazaki, Musa all playing for four positions maximum. We didn't need more and more forwards it was the defence that needed looking at. You make an interesting point and I'm not disagreeing. Just think Okazaki needs to play every week.
lgfualol Posted 11 September 2016 Posted 11 September 2016 At least he'd offer the same amount of attacking threat playing as a CM as he does a striker.
GaelicFox Posted 11 September 2016 Posted 11 September 2016 Christ lads we get a spanking 4-1 a tough lesson yes the worlds not about the end .... Fecking Okasaki in CM are some of yea compleat melts

adam Posted 11 September 2016 Posted 11 September 2016 We saw yesterday why Okazaki shouldn't play every week. Completely out of his depth. He is OK running about every week but there is more to being a number 10 then that. I hope he is out the side for a while. Ulloa in my opinion offers more and hopefully Slimani will be a huge upgrade on okazaki.

His link up play is so good that nobody else, from what we've seen, is better in that position. Not only that but when we're defending he drops. Musa looked out of his depth yesterday, he doesn't even run with the ball.

There's no way Okazaki will be in the team once Slimani is fit thank god.
Guest Mickyblueeyes Posted 11 September 2016 Posted 11 September 2016 I'm sorry but seriously not a fan of his. I must be missing something because apart from running around he offers very little. It it was compensated for with Kante in midfield. This year, without Kante it's like we have 9 men on the pitch when Shinji plays. He doesn't hold it up. His movement isn't great. He barely gets on the assist charts and his goals scoring record may as well be non existent. He has to be one who is sacrificed to accomodate Slimani and Musa. Ulloa offered far more yesterday when he came on.
Dickov22 Posted 11 September 2016 Posted 11 September 2016 He shouldn't be in the team at all. In any position
