sphericalfox Posted 20 November 2016 Posted 20 November 2016 If Ifs and Ands were points and plans; there'd be no need for the TinkerMan. I've written something since the last time I've written something. Enjoy. https://sphericalfox.wordpress.com/2016/11/20/ifs-and-ands/
Countryfox Posted 20 November 2016 Posted 20 November 2016 Ifs and Ands ?? .... Its the ifs and buts that drive me nuts. (I'm a poet !)

sphericalfox Posted 21 November 2016 Author Posted 21 November 2016 Just a cheeky bump as I posted this when there was about 10 posters perusing. Comments welcome!
sphericalfox Posted 26 November 2016 Author Posted 26 November 2016 Is today a 'what if'? Will the Tinkerman live up to his moniker? A midfield of King & Amartey? Will we see James on the bench? Will he get some minutes on the pitch? Will it be Ulloa or Slimani ready to come on? If we fail to get 3 points will people be satisfied with a point if we put up a better performance across the team? Will Vardy finally find his shootin boots? Is this possible without service from the midfield? Keep Albrighton or bring in Musa to start as we're at home? Or will we need to rely on decent crosses without decent passing midfield? With that in mind, will we spend today watching our CBs hoofing over the midfield aimlessly? Will Huth get another yellow and strategically miss the game at Sunderland so that he doesn't miss the Man City game? How will Boro set themselves up to stifle us? Can we expect them to double mark Vardy and Mahrez, leaving us only one route to goal? So many ifs and ands... https://sphericalfox.wordpress.com/2016/11/20/ifs-and-ands/

I always thought a white elephant was some thing of no use you can't get rid of. I don't remember use not wanting him or it being a struggle to get rid of him.
Countryfox Posted 26 November 2016 Posted 26 November 2016 Correct ... A white elephant is a possession which its owner cannot dispose of and whose cost, particularly that of maintenance, is out of proportion to its usefulness.

Just not reaching the intended target, I take the full repercussions that come with it. 26 minutes ago, Countryfox said: Will they need to ... I hope that we try something a little different, but I suspect we'll commit to our standard approach. It's a shame that at the minute I'm more reliant on hope than assurance. But maybe it'll be our turning point cos otherwise my last couple of optimistic blogs will have me with pancake all over my face.

I hope something comes from this ... sometimes when a key player is out due to injury or suspension a manager stumbles across something new ... and at the moment that would not be a bad thing due to our weakness in midfield and over reliance on DD.
