Which midfield duo?

Potential wise N'didi and Silva look an interesting partnership. One destroyer and one who likes to get forward, Silva does look a little light weight and he's the sort of player who may go missing in a battle. Having said that he's not afraid to go in for tackles or get stuck in, it's just whether he'll physically get bossed a bit too easily in some games.

You want that cvnt wise in a 3?

Right now Ndidi and James, they've been faultless so far every time paired together so it's theirs to lose.

 

However, it's so good that we finally have decent competition in that area. James and Ndidi will know they have a Euro 2016 winner and former Sevilla captain waiting in the wings should their performances drop. Knowing they aren't immune to being dropped only improves performances.

[Bluetintedspecs]

I'm sure the Studious One will make the right selections/ rotations. Nice problem to have! 

[Redouane]

On more important games, I would like to see Ndidi and Iborra.

On less important games, I would like to see James and Silva.

 

It's nice to see so many quality options in the midfield, which means everyone has more to prove.

To think not so long ago we'd have to play King and Amartey in the middle after winning the title.......

Brilliant dilemma to have and great to see us not really missing Drinkwater. 

 

I wouldn't moan about any of these partnerships currently except for King!

We'll get 5 injuries and he'll end up playing as a lone CM at some point, guaranteed.

[Colourmy]

On more important games, I would like to see Ndidi and Iborra.

On less important games, I would like to see James and Silva.

And on board games, I would like to see King and Choudary.

With the players we have a 4-3-3 seems to be the system that makes the most sense. Ndidi, Silva AND Iborra.

[Muzzy_no7]

Iborra and Ndidi with Silva just ahead.

 

Vardy up top with Gray and Mahrez wide.

 

Okazaki and Albrighton on the bench if needed.

[FoxSinceBirth]

My mouth waters at the thought of a 3 man midfield N'didi holding just in front of the back four with Iborra and silva controlling the tempo, both seem incredibly confident with the ball at their feet and Silva looked really promising last night (albeit against Fleetwood)

[Muzzy_no7]

Absolutely dribbled watching them pair together last night at times. With Ndidi's legs and protection we could be onto something really special there. Vardy and Gray stretching teams with Mahrez's magic drifting all over the gaff. Couple this with Chilwell and another marauding right back with technical ability and it could well be beautiful.

On this forum we may never see the last of King.

I actually prefer the idea of Iborra holding and dictating play with Wilf and Adrien will give you more mobility. Options though .

[murphy]

For me, just pick the best two.  That would be N'Didi and Silva.

I agree, but it gives us the option of rotating the two, letting them go on little runs whilst the other fills in, gives us a certain fluidity in midfield.

 

(when I say little runs, I don't mean the runs Bamba used to go on )

[FoxFossil]

Play Silva as number 10 behind Vardy, with Iborra or James with Wilf, depending on opposition.
