Claudio likes some raw pace on the pitch and without Vardy, Musa is probably the best option. I'm guessing Musa will start, either on the wings or upfront. A Slimani/Musa partnership could work? Think gray is more likely at ST. Musa looks better LM where he can have the ball to feet and then skin players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come off it. It's fair to say that Musa has not set the KP alight yet with any of his performances, especially up front. However, he has not had a settled run in the side and has changed position many times. He's also adapting to a new league and new culture and in a team that is struggling in general. If you go back in time you will find many threads on here about Jamie Vardy being the worst signing we ever made, both when were in the Championship and when we went on that bleak Premier League run with Pearson in charge. And as it turned out, he proved to be not too shabby once he had a good run in the team and we played in a style that suited him. Going to leave this clip here. Yes it was a friendly and yes it's against a team that has an even more shocking back four (in terms of defending) than we do, but Musa looked pretty good in this game.

TJB-fox Posted 21 December 2016 Share Posted 21 December 2016 Bizzarre slating Musa so early when he's come to a much harder and very different league, new country, to a frankly below par side this year and most importantly he's barely played. Clearly a good player in there somewhere we just need to utilise him properly. Massive opportunities for him and Demarai when Mahrez and Slimani head off to AFCON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams are so scared of Messi, Suarez and Neymar though that they don't commit enough men forward to take advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxy boxing Posted 21 December 2016 Share Posted 21 December 2016 so no Huth, no Fuchs ,no Vardy. bring on the siege mentality! we've got our backs to the wall now let's fight and show people we a team worthy of the name Champions. the fringe players need to really step it up and put in a performance. I want to see Musa running at defenders and being able to pass the ball. I want to see gray put in quality crosses for Ulloa and Slimani. I want top see Mahrez put in a display we all know he can deliver. when we were up against it against Stoke we found a way. come on foxes find the way!

My only concern depends on which Everton turns up. If they are going to be sitting deep with men behind the ball, Gray could be nullified in the middle. Okazaki would be much better suited in that situation, with his link up play and high press. However Gray definately deserves his chance and that position is probably the only way he fits into the starting 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he gets his leg broken and the perpetrator gets a yellow card - just so everything is nice and fair. Oh yes, and they get reduced to 10 men for a tackle by Lukaku for no good reason and he gets a three game ban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxxed Posted 21 December 2016 Share Posted 21 December 2016 Hope Chilwell ups his game. Whoever's in front will need to support him. I wouldn't mind a back three, but since the team has baulked at a formation change, can't see it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col city fan Posted 21 December 2016 Share Posted 21 December 2016 I'd be sorely tempted to give Musa a go. Not as some left winger. But as the central striker, alongside one other. He can score goals for fun and I can't believe he can continue to be as bad as he has looked. But I think this could be based on how we've used him (ie to come on late when we are chasing a game). I feel there must surely be more to come from him, as a starter, and played in his natural position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
