Col city fan Posted 19 December 2016 Share Posted 19 December 2016 I'd bung Amartey into Centre back with Wes for this one. Definately not Wasa and the other fella don't look brill either. If we are going 442 (very likely) I'd have King and Mendy as the CM's. Gray on one side, Mahrez the other with Slim and Oza up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StriderHiryu Posted 19 December 2016 Share Posted 19 December 2016 Amartey could probably play at centre back to allow Drinkwater back into the team. Amartey is definitely improving though and not just because of his goal. He's starting to pick up some momentum so it might be better to keep him in the CM position. He has been very inconsistent for us being brilliant against Swansea, Burnley, Palace and Stoke and terrible in basically every other game! However, I think he's shown he's got a lot of potential whereas Andy King (who I will always love) probably doesn't. Amartey at his best can have a big impact in a game whereas I'm not sure King will ever be that guy. King was great against Palace though to be fair. Gray really should be starting but it is probably suicide to play him and Mahrez from the start with an inexperienced left back (Chilwell) who will come into the team. So I see the team that many have predicted with Hernandez and Chillwell being the changes for Huth and Fuchs. I really hope Drinky returns to the team though, he's been hugely missed!

chris_lcfc_85 Posted 19 December 2016 Share Posted 19 December 2016 Why does nobody seem to consider Slimani and ulloa up top? If we can get pace out wide then why not try something different... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I always like the target man (in its various guises), quick man combo up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxes21 Posted 19 December 2016 Share Posted 19 December 2016 id like to see Drinkwater & Mendy together in cm, but it would be harsh to drop amartey or move him to cb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I agree but Slimani does chase defenders down much more than ulloa and then ulloa is stronger than Slimani so can hold the ball better but be nice to have two physical chaps up front for a change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted 19 December 2016 Share Posted 19 December 2016 is Drinkwater actually training with the first team yet? Claudio likes them to train for a week before picking them to play and last week he wasn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great opportunity to get another start and 90 minutes under his belt. You make it sound like a team has spent 90 minutes taking us apart on their right wing. He'd actually be playing as part of a decent team, not the absolute dregs like Was and Schlupp (you'd hope anyway). If it's a choice between playing our promising left back, who's played a blinder for Huddersfield last season and is a regular for England u21's. Or Jeff Schlupp, who's been given a million chances because he's fast and strong, give me Chillwell any day. Fair play if you don't believe in giving youth a fair crack and prefer having a finished article/older player out of position. It's definitely a more pragmatic and sensible short term choice. I've always been in favour of developing players and always will be. I think it's down to personal preference really. I hope Schlupp played his last game ever that night in Porto and will be sold in January. I also hope he'll never even see the bench again. The experienced lads might have not covered themselves in glory, Fuchs is still a better choice than Chilwell. By a country mile. Porto did rip us apart on our right wing. 4 goals came from there and they made Chillwell their priority target. In the second half he did have Albrighton who's practically playing as second LB. If you're good enough, you're old enough. I don't believe Chilwell is actually ready for the PL. I saw him play a few times and wasn't very impressed, that being said I'm no coach. Time will tell, but what's sure is that he'll never get enough game time to develop if he stays in the first team, unless Fuchs is injured (which I really, really don't hope). It's not impossible that another LB might be bought in January. I'm sure he'll start against Everton though. Consequence: Gray will be benched and Albrighton to start on the left wing. If we follow the trend it will be: Kasper Simpson Hernandez Morgan Chillwell Mahrez Amartey Drinkwater(if fit) Albrighton Okazaki Slimani I'd have loved to see something like that though : Kasper Kasper Simpson Amartey Morgan Hernandez(or Albrighton) or Simpson Hernandez Morgan Albrighton(or Chillwell) Mahrez Mendy Drinkwater Gray Amartey Okazaki Slimani Mendy Drinkwater Mahrez Gray Slimani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
