Need I go on. I think you are looking for an argument? Wes has been shit for 80% of the season so that's not an issue. Check out results with the likes of King and Amartey in midfield - as an example - as a whole and that should highlight the obvious point I was making. We don't have a strong / bench squad which I would have thought was common knowledge. Or are you saying the reserves / bench are better than the lads that have started in the last 2 months?

I think that would be a mistake given his next to non existent fitness & form. Surely a dubious, but more fit Amartey would be a better gamble?

I think that as we are missing regular players, now isn't the time to try a new formation. Only my opinion mind you. It's going to be tough no matter what team Shakey goes with.

I think that it would be a mistake as well, but I've noticed that on match weeks before he gets into the side or on the bench that he posts a picture of training or some other on-pitch LCFC photograph on his Instagram. There was a training photograph posted this morning. Probably meaningless, but possibly not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. It's going to be like the Alamo. The least we need is mobile and fit defenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norwichfox Posted 12 May 2017 Share Posted 12 May 2017 Would take a 1-1 draw for this...but prefer all 3 points. This is likely to be Mahrez's last away game for us, I hope he can provide us with a world class performance in the style that we know he can.

biggs Posted 12 May 2017 Share Posted 12 May 2017 Amartey to me looks so awkward and uncomfortable on the ball and Wasyl is a bull in a china shop. Both poor options IMO. The trouble here is we have little to no depth in nearly every position....our hope will be Man C showing no respect again for Vardy and he gets in behind their back line...and for playing 3 at the back.....Palace I believe played 3 at the back Vs Man C and were destroyed 5-0 after previously playing well against most opponents.

GeorgeTheFox Posted 12 May 2017 Share Posted 12 May 2017 Maybe would be nice for Was to have a final send off as surely this is his last season with us. I don't care what any of you miserable bastards say he has been a great player for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care what any of you miserable bastards say he has been a great player for us I wouldn't go as far as "Great" but I do think the Bournemouth game as a cameo 10-15 minutes would be "Great" for him As long as he manages not to give away a free kick in the very last minute of course Memories of the misery still haunt me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that didn't happen then who knows where we would be. He has had more of an impact than most give him credit for and I hope he does get some sort of send off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really would like to see Amartey given a chance at centre back. To be honest I think he either nails down that position or he doesn't really have a place in the team I've been thinking this for a while also. Realistically, if we are to progress, the midfield is an area we must address. Drink water and Ndidi aside plus James and Mendy in the let's hope for the best box, King and Amartey are just not good enough in that position, however much we might like them. Amartey won an award in an admittedly poor Afcon competition so we need to see how he can perform or consider an alternative. The same applies to Musa and Kaputchska. Gray needs to gain some valuable game time for the experience prior to him being dropped into Riyhads position next year. This is unless decisions have already been made. We're safe now and need to look to next year. Shakespeare is possibly targeting wins to land himself the job but there is a bigger picture. In the absence of our main cbs, we do have enough for a decent 3 with Chilwell and Albrighton as wing backs in Fuchsia, Benalouane and Amartey. We can afford to experiment for the sake of the future.
