And no one is going to tell me that Chilwell looks a better replacement for Fuchs than Schlupp did. Jeff was coached by ranieri and Pearson - one a full back and one a centre back. Yet his defensive naivety remained. chilwell is a much better fullback with a sense of what is going on behind him and also of covering his centre half. he doesn't have Jeff's raw pace (though he is quick) or physical strength. He will develop further though and he is better footballer than Jeff.. I will trust Claudio's judgement on this one. He knows what it takes to be a good full back.
Foxxed Posted 14 April 2017 Posted 14 April 2017 Unless Shakey goes three at the back against Athletico, which may not be an awful idea, his selection for this match may be very telling.

I wouldn't trust Ranieri's assessment of footballers. Chilwell has promise but a lot of things to improve on yet. Schlupp has two things you can't easily "buy" but which are like gold in the Premiership - strength and raw pace. And I'm quite certain that if anyone can fashion the skills of a full-back around Schlupp's strength and speed it will be Allardyce.
UPinCarolina Posted 14 April 2017 Posted 14 April 2017 Based on Instagram, no doubt that Chilwell is starting tomorrow.

Chilwell also appears to have the one thing Jeff was lacking - A football brain. Chilwell is still young and learning, will make the odd mistake, but in my mind is a far better player than Jeff.

No good having a poor performance and then expecting the team to get their mojo back for Atletico. Once you lose confidence it gets harder every game to get a result. We don't 'need' to at all. these lads are safe bar the maths.

matty98 Posted 15 April 2017 Posted 15 April 2017 Schmeichel Simpson Morgan Benaloune Chilwell Amartey Ndidi Kapustka Gray Vardy Musa Really want to see Kapustka play behind a pacey attack, think he has the ability to create a lot of chances. Bit worried at the thought of Zaha running at Chilwell, will be a good test for him.

I like the idea of our little cabbage as the playmaker and resting Drinky, but I'm unsure how well Kap's even doing in the u23s nevermind as the first team playmaker. Resting Vardy wouldn't be a bad idea although he may be itching for some scoring practice before Athletico - 45 each for Vardy and Slimani may be decent.

Chilwell is still young and learning, will make the odd mistake, but in my mind is a far better player than Jeff. Schluppy might not have come across as the brightest sunbeam in the galaxy but I think he effectively left the club a while before his transfer was ever concluded so your impression might have been exaggerated. . I certainly don't see Chilwell as the better player as yet, more a guy whose mistakes at the back are as telling as Schluppy's mistakes as a finisher. At Palace I don't think Schlupp's utilised as a finisher. It's not a lack of concentration with Chilwell either it's a lack of experience. And there's no hurrying that for all that some will always try to. Meanwhile Schlupp's raw pace has to be coped with and that's what makes him formidable, something Chilwell's not become yet in any way, talented though he is. .
Crazy Kop Corner Posted 15 April 2017 Posted 15 April 2017 I wonder whether he should trail Amartey at centre half today probably with Benaloune? I definitely be looking to rest one or two. I'm going today but can't see us getting anything. Anybody full of confidence?
HoustonFox Posted 15 April 2017 Posted 15 April 2017 I wouldn't be surprised to see 3 at the back with maybe: Amartey, Benny and Huth (or maybe Fuchs!) across the back. Not right wing back though, Albrighton was clearly dead on his feet Wed, so possible Amartey RWB and Was coming in at CB? This may be madness but it could be Musa! Midfield of King, Ndidi and Kapi? Probably Drinky though, he seems to be undroppabe despite being knackered. More craziness with Demarai and Slim up top. Alright enough madness. It'll be normal 11 but maybe Amartey at RB. C'mon Shakey, wow us!
Livid Posted 15 April 2017 Posted 15 April 2017 Mainly because of either three games in a week or some rotation I can't see us getting much today. I would snatch your hand off for a point.

We are probably already safe anyway, so all the Palace game would do is maybe move us up a place or two in the league. You would prefer a couple of places higher than progressing in the Champions League? I don't get that at all.
