domz0000 Posted 6 August 2017 Posted 6 August 2017 Vardy and Iheanacho up front with Slimani and Okazaki as your options from the bench. Albrighton and Mahrez on the wings with Gray from the bench Drinkwater and Ndidi from midfield with Iborra and James as the options. plus youngsters Barnes and Lawrence..... Add a potentially solid defense and world class keeper. 5000-1.........?⚽️
Fox92 Posted 6 August 2017 Posted 6 August 2017 We haven't got the best forward line in the Premier League.

brucey Posted 6 August 2017 Posted 6 August 2017 Iheanacho > Okazaki Slimani > Ulloa James = Drinkwater Ndidi < Kante Maguire > Huth Vardy and Kasper have improved with age Fuchs, Morgan and Huth have got worse with age It's only 250-1 now Basically, is the downgrade of Kante compensated by the improvements elsewhere? We shall see.

The Kante love in needs to stop, he has gone, get over it. I've always said Kante is overrated, however yes I feel it's currently a small downgrade, in terms of effectiveness to our play. Ndidi is awesome and will develop to be an upgrade, but he's 20 and still learning at the moment.

Ndidi is awesome and will develop to be an upgrade, but he's 20 and still learning at the moment. Kante might be overrated but he covered a hell of a lot for us. He gave players like Mahrez the opportunity to go forward without worrying about the defensive side. I've never seen anything like it here and probably won't do again.
SkidsFox Posted 6 August 2017 Posted 6 August 2017 If we keep Mahrez, have few injuries, and our players play consistently well, then yes we can be looking at top 8 or even 5. But doubtful all the big teams will have dire seasons, as they did 2 years ago.

All have maangers that have had their 'bedding in' period and they've mostly spent a lot of money. Of course, that guarantees nothing, but we won't have the perfect storm of 2 years ago. Taking nothing away from our achievements, of course.
NewEnglandFox Posted 6 August 2017 Posted 6 August 2017 No chance we're good enough to score 68, allow 36, or get 81 points again.
Kitchandro Posted 6 August 2017 Posted 6 August 2017 1 hour ago, brucey said: James = Drinkwater Why do people keep saying this? What has James done his career that's anywhere near Drinkwater in 2015/16 and the first half of last season?

Some people still think Ulloa > Slimani and that's their opinion, fair enough. The proof is in the pudding when the season starts.

Taking nothing away from our achievements, of course. Who fvcked up when we won the title? Chelsea, yeh. Who else? Tottenham and Arsenal performed better than usual, Man Utd were the same as they have been every season since Fergie left, Man City are inconsistent from season to season and didn't really do particularly badly and Liverpool have finished out of the top 4 more often than not over the past 10 years. The fact is we no longer have Kante and he makes the difference of about 5 league places. In addition, our manager is not tactically astute nor does he inspire. These are the main differences from our title winning season, the other stuff is minor. It largely doesn't matter what other teams do. Had the players had a bit more self belief instead of believing the 'perfect storm' nonsense we wouldn't have finished in the bottom half last season.
