GingerrrFox Posted 26 November 2016 Posted 26 November 2016 We've got too many players in our squad who deserve a chance. It can't get much worse than the shite we were offered up today. Vardy is a disgrace. Doesn't look arsed and is more bothered about selling his book and making his film than proving he is genuine quality rather than a 1 season wonder. Too cushy on his £100k a week. Riyad looks like he cares but could do with a break and we have options that can freshen it up. Huth looks a shadow of what we saw last year. Zieler Benalouane Hernandez Fuchs Albrighton Amartey James Schlupp Gray Okazaki Slimani To start the next few games for me. Time to let all of the squad know that no one is irreplaceable. You perform or you are on the bench/out of the squad. The shit out there today was not acceptable. Professional footballers being paid massive amounts looking like Sunday League standard players.
Ballie1981 Posted 26 November 2016 Posted 26 November 2016 Simple answer......we re bad but not that bad!
st albans fox Posted 26 November 2016 Posted 26 November 2016 Benny can't play. Not in the declared squad. You need to apologise to Wes or huth quickly!

Just loads of players either not registered, miles out of position, or coming back from big injury layoffs. Wouldnt inspire me at all. The problem is the severe lack of quality options in the squad. The rest of this season is just a salvage operation now.
majaco Posted 26 November 2016 Posted 26 November 2016 We are champions. if Gingerr Fox picked the team we would be guaranteed Sunday League football. Can Gingerrrrr Foxxxx remove this when not under the influence of alcohol?
StanSP Posted 26 November 2016 Posted 26 November 2016 Not sure what warrants Benalouane getting in the squad. Schlupp is not a sustainable option. That suggested squad is so lacklustre. I doubt they're better than the current crop and especially not in that set up.

You perform or you are on the bench/out of the squad. The shit out there today was not acceptable. Professional footballers being paid massive amounts looking like Sunday League standard players. Personally, that looks terrifying. Morgan wasn't so dreadful today, and if we were to switch to a back three then I think it may well help him out in the same way as it did when we last switched to a 3-5-2. And Hernandez has looked poor when he's come in, Benalouane hasn't played all season and has never shown he deserves a first team place, Fuchs and Albrighton are among our greatest weaknesses right now, Gray has looked below-par in his last few cameos. James has been out for 18 months and we have no idea what condition he's in.. I don't see solutions here, no more than when people guess that Mendy or Kapustka offer answers. The 3-5-2 normally works better when two slower defenders are joined with a little pace at the back (I'm thinking more of the O'Neill era with Sinclair, than the Pearson era with Wasilewski, obviously). Fuchs certainly doesn't offer that, if we're thinking of him joining the three, but the attacking side of his game remains decent, so perhaps he's your wing back. Hernandez is even slower than Morgan, so perhaps Simpson (who's hardly rapid either, but even so...) would get the nod alongside Morgan and Huth, with Albrighton back in as wing back. The midfield three is another matter. If Mendy's back then, I suppose, you might give him a shot alongside Amartey, with the two of them sitting behind Mahrez (like Cambiasso and James in the Great Escape), perhaps. But nobody 'picks himself' in that midfield. By the end, today, it looked like Musa and Gray were buzzing around either side of Slimani, with Albrighton more 'tucked in' next to King and Amartey. It started to look a but 4-3-3-ish, and Amartey certainly had more time to express himself. Perhaps this is closer to what we need. The 4-2-3-1 with Amartey and, say, Mendy in the two. Three from Mahrez, Musa, Gray, Okazaki ahead of them, offering the pace. Slimani up front, over Vardy. And if you want to be radical, I'd imagine Chilwell will be knocking on the door too. As an out-and-out left back, and with regard to the defensive aspects of his game, I doubt you could get much shakier than Fuchs was today.

Plus Schlupp and Gray blow hot and cold, and Fuchs / Hernandez have been hit and miss too. I think Okazaki would tend to shade anyone else in a front two, even though I thought he was ineffective today. The idea of Albrighton as RWB and Mahrez at the tip of a midfield three could work though. Why not allow Simpson to join the back three and let Fuchs focus on the attacking side of his game, which seems to be better than the defensive side right now?
Great Boos Up Posted 26 November 2016 Posted 26 November 2016 Perhaps we need to go backwards to go forwards and by that I mean 5-4-1. Stop the silly leaked goals, invite them on and suss out who has the pace and desire to accurately counter without playing backward or aimless passes. It would mean losing a few games by a goal but that's what we did before the great escape. Claudio may be happier with the clean sheet scenario rather than conceding 2 or more and after the opportunity today to play heavier midfield without the best two central midfielders that we had last season, it may be his only willing plan B. Plan A isn't fookin workin.
Fox92 Posted 26 November 2016 Posted 26 November 2016 Hamer Simpson -- Huth -- Morgan -- Fuchs James -- Amartey (obviously Drinkwater when he's back) Gray -- Mahrez -- Musa Okazaki/Vardy/Slimani

Felt Sunday league today, he's right I'm my opinion, these under performing players need a kick up the arse and dropping, and give the players a chance that have waited in the wings. Could it get any worse? Possibly but can't be much worse surely.

As for James, well I think he and Amartey would offer a lot of protection for the back four if they could sit deeper, with three attacking mids ahead of them. And those three attacking mids look very inter-changeable, which could be interesting.

I think the defence have more confidence in Hamer, but yeah I agree about the defence problem (especially the left side as you say) but sadly we're in a position where we can't change it because of our poor transfer activity.

Dropping Morgan, the captain, could have huge repercussions. Huth, yeah, I think it's time we looked at ways of either giving him more support (different LB, two DCMs in a 4-2-3-1, or a back three) or looked at other options. But I've been far from convinced by Hernandez, even if it's early days.
peterborofox Posted 26 November 2016 Posted 26 November 2016 I really would like to see 352 again. We haven't enough CBs but feel Fuchs would do ok there with Morgan And Huth. Morgan Huth Fuchs Albrighton Schlupp Feel that would do ok and give us pace with Schlupp playing. Put Mahrez in the hole with two CMs behind him

It's true with regard to our business. I'm not sure who the defence have more confidence in, though, out of Hamer and Zieler. They certainly don't have a lot of faith in Zieler, though that could improve with time. Another point about your suggestions, is that they sort of depend on Matty James being the same Matty James we know and love. If he's anywhere close, he should be a shoo in ahead of King (or even Amartey) n the sort of 4-2-3-1 that you're proposing. But the wild card (as far as we're concerned) that is Mendy could well get the nod ahead of James, I suspect.

sylofox Posted 26 November 2016 Posted 26 November 2016 Any post/thread loses all credit and my interest when a squad is listed and the poster names a player not in our listed squad. Benny can't play for us FFS how many times.
