Are Palace any good?

 

Mendy's still broken I take it?

 

Will King keep his place, or is it worthwhile giving the 21 year old more time to develop?

Well we haven't conceded in the previous three home games Amartey started with Drinkwater, so I'd bring him back. I've never been convinced of the Drinkwater/King partnership and tonight doesn't change that, we struggled through bypassing midfield for most of the match.

What I would like to see:

 

                       Kasper

Simpson - Hernandez - Huth - Fuchs

 Mahrez - Drinky - Kingy - Albrighton

               Okazaki - Slimani

Do  you normally drop man of the match

Some serious shifts put in tonight, Vardy, Drinky, King, Albrighton gave it everything, may be wise to give a couple of them a game off and make some changes, tactically I would start Okazaki, Slimani might not get much joy against Delaney and Dann, and trying to play over them will be too easy to mop up. Keep it on the ground. Morgan looked like he had a knock early on today, Kingy looked like he picked up a knock at the end, may be time to use Hernandez at CB Amartey back in if King has a knock.

 

Maybe even look at a formation change.

People really putting Albrighton in there team amazing how many poor games can he have 

Have to agree with this. I thought he was pretty awful tonight. He seems to be rushing everything at the moment, as in, he gets it and without even looking, launches high balls to no one. I would have Gray in for him from the start but he doesn't cover as well defensively. I wish Kaputska had played more by now, and then we might have a more like for like change. Gray for me though still, or at very least, he plays a large part of the game as I really do think he is a top player and he needs to be playing more, especially as we have been pretty poor recently!

There seems to be a big devide in opinion regarding albrighton,for me,like Robbie savage did,he works his socks off for the team,and is more technically gifted,

lets remember that when he came into the team a few years back,he was instrumental in keeping us up,aswell as winning the league with us,

i think it's unfair on a player who,although can make mistakes,always gives 100% imo

Giving 100% should be more than expected for any player

 

He's just very wasteful, so many times our play is blunted with a wild ball or mishit pass from him. I'd give someone else a crack, although there's no guarantee that they will fare any better.

No offense mate but what does his performances from a few years back have to do with the present?

 

Albrighton was anything but technically gifted against Copenhagen.  He put in one decent cross (for the offside goal) and everything else he did with the ball was awful.  Yes he undoubtedly puts in the effort and puts in a shift but he's been awful this season with the ball.

 

I don't understand what Vardy, Morgan, and to a lesser extent Albrighton have to do to be dropped.  I'm all for showing faith in players but you have to draw the line somewhere.

1-1 I dont think we have the capacity to score more than 2 goals in this one. One goal being far more likely than 2. They will score for sure.

The dream: City rediscover their Premier League mojo, Vardy scores one of those counterattacking goals, Mahrez bamboozles defenders and we have one of those passages of play like against Liverpool at home last season where we stroke the ball around like Barça, except this time we score. We keep a clean sheet. Huth doesn't get booked. No more mention of hoofball in the match thread. 

 

The nightmare: We concede a corner straight from the kickoff and then concede a goal from that corner, Wes Morgan is still looking for his man when Palace are back in their own half for the re-start. Vardy alternates between not chasing anything and pointing and shouting at team mates. King gets another shot, but this time pulls off the bandages and disappears. Kasper serves up an after the Lord Mayors show howler, but at least he kicks the post in frustration. Marc Albrighton does not deliver a single telling cross. Foxestalk goes nuclear.

 

The reality? I think a hard fought draw.

Back to square one. Although i suspect a draw.

 

Cant grapple in the prem like in our league 1 champions league group.
