Drinkwater charged with violent conduct - 3 game PL ban confirmed

Recommended Posts

We need to hope that, as Ulloa did when Vardy was suspended, others take the lead and up their game to compensate. Who knows, King and Amartey might form a decent little pairing for a couple of games?

Anyone got a video of the incident?  This whole event has completely passed me by.

There was one on Twitter but it's been taken down now. Can't find another. Basically the Watford player was pulling Drinky's shirt and not letting go so to remove him Drinky threw his arm back making contact with their face. Ref was stood right next to it in the video but apparently didn't see it

I don't know whether it's the fact I'm looking at it with a biased view or because it wasn't the best quality video I saw but it doesn't look to me like a clear cut elbow. The two of them were tussling a little bit with Behrami holding on to Drinkwater. It looks to me as though Drinkwater is just trying to free his arm to release himself. He appears to move his arm in more of an upwards motion rather than throwing it back in the face of Behrami.

They showed it several times on SSN on Monday and there is no doubt he was trying to get away from the Watford player but unfortunately likewise there is no doubt he swung his elbow backwards

I'd like to see 5-1-3-1with wing backs. Get Okazaki dropping back to help King when needed - basically bring in Was for Drinkwater to build the "wall"

Someone might suggest it's FA punishment for pulling out of the England squad with bruised ribs only to then play for club in the next game. 

Havent seen the incident - any links?

 

Has to be king and Amartey. We have them on the pay roll for this exact situation! James bench perhaps.. 

Posted

Drinkwater isn't the type of player to do that sort of thing though, albeit he did it. First time I've seen Fuchs properly lose it Saturday at opposition players.. 

Posted

its ideal situation for James to come back, If Middleborough anything like last Saturday their midfield was so slowly and almost non existence. I'd start with King and James I don't see it been a problem, James has got to be thinking this is my moment and  even if you don't start with him, he has to be on bench who else we got with premier experience?

Stopped reading at Was.

 

Love the guy, a great of the past and a potential doer of odd jobs, but not 90 minutes in the Prem. Those days are gone...

It'll be like the Junior Lewis and Robbie Savage pairing all over again

 

seiously though, at the start of the season I wanted to see Amartey play CM, now I think it's blindly obvious he's not good enough. Would rather let James have a run out, i also though Kaputzka could play there?

Christ...the thought of Amartey alongside King...

Hes gotta step it up somehow or this could be a dodgy ol run here.

opportunity to try three in midfield

 

Amartey, king and maybe okazaki

 

then have slim and vardy up front

I think that's what I'd probably do.

Hobsons choice really I guess.

Remember that game early this season when amartey was excellent ?

No I don't. 

 

He had a couple of decent games against PL low lights I seem to remember but that was with DD by his side. 

 

This period SHOULD see a change in formation because he and King in the centre could well see us losing the three games Drinky is out for, and that may see us in the 'zone'.

 

Ifs and buts I know, but.....
