Adrien Silva

He’s going to be let down by his team mates. He actually tries to pass the ball forward and drive with it. Alongside Diabate and Vardy, they were the only players who thought it might be worth attacking Man City with our limited possession 

Yes quite possible,  i think both himself and Mahrez could do very well in attacking the opposition. But we need to sort out who is going to win it back for us. Wilf can't be everywhere. Maybe Mendy will do that job if he comes back in the Summer. Although personally I'd prefer someone who is taller and more mobile. Maybe give Amartey a run in there and see how he gets on. Nothing to lose really.

Sure Col will be supportive of this idea?

You’re missing the point,  I mentioned a certain team earlier

 

Basically a back 4 with Amartey/McGuire/Dragovic and Fuchs,

 

Silva, Ndidi , Iborra in midfield,

 

The wide  men of Mahrez and Albrighton and Dibate in the hole with Vardy

 

Ndidi has such an engine he will be our box to box midfielder.

 

He plays a lot better with Iborra, which shocks me why Iborra doesn’t get picked.

 

I think that’s our best side by a country mile, what do you think?

Amerty isn’t a premier league player and I’m not sure about Dragovic

Can’t agreed with the Dragovic comment.

I'm sure he'll be along soon with an alternative view point.

I have two concerns with your formation.

 

A) Playing without a keeper is a little risky.

B) With a keeper if the ref can count we have 12 on the pitch.

Either your appalled by Schmeichels performance and plan to play without a GK or hoping the ref won't notice us fielding 12 players.

yep school boy error,forgot about Kasper

Today, watching Joe Allen I thought how much I'd like a player like him in our team, a box to box midfielder with a bit of drive. Then I remembered we have one with more quality but he sits on the bench having to watch Matty James' pathetic attempts to be a premier league footballer 

[Tuna]

He can forget about going to the world cup if Claude continues playing James ahead of him.

 

I suppose he's got the money and the hot wife to compensate.

[Fox 4 Life]

I never understand why we bother making signings when we resort to the same tired tactics and team regardless.

[SheppyFox]

James is better than Silva apparently  Puel if you play that 11 again honestly I want you sacked. 

[southfox66]

Puel thinking a complete mystery to me he takes Silva off at Manchester city when silva is the player keeping us in the game, we go and lose 5 1, today a player of Silva quality can change it he doesn't play him makes no sense 

[lee7]

How James is keeping Silva out of the team baffles me 

In Silvas short cameos he has shown he's easily the most creative and comfortable player we have on the ball in central midfield.

Won the Euro cup in 2016, now he watches James, an ordinary plodder who isnt really better than being average at everyhing, and doesnt even come off the bench. Lovely stuff. 

[Rogstanley]

He must be proper shit in training to not be able to get in this team 

[rachhere]

Should be playing. Just don't get it. 

[Marmite]

Baffles me when we have him and Iborra on the bench and instead James plays and offers us nothing

Why? We have spent 120 million plus on players only to leave them on the bench and then ship them out on loan, I thought that’s just what we did now?

[StriderHiryu]

James must be one of Puel’s favourites. Genuinely can’t believe he got the full 90 with the other two on the bench. He was so poor and slow to the ball!

 

Puel didn’t sign any of these players but think he needs to try a different partner to James. 

[red5]

James is world class, Silva and Iborra are just bit players.

[Monsell1976]

If I was him, after we have ****ed up and he’s lost 6 months of his career, and put his World Cup at risk, and then the manager rates matty James over him, and doesn’t play him,  I would put in a transfer request in the minute the season ends.

I know. Yet he has always seemed so positive throughout it all. That guy has real resilience (which is why we need him in the bloody team!)
