We’ve tried him there he’s doggo. number 9 or nothing I reckon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScouseFox Posted 2 February 2018 Share Posted 2 February 2018 kasper amartey, maguire, drago, chilwell silva, ndidi gray, shinji, albrighton vardy the team that played on wednesday were awful but it's the same team who'd played well for a few games before (bar riyad, obviously). go again, tell them to forget that shit show and demolish a pretty awful team at home and everyone forgets everything that's happened in the past 3 days. diabate, thomas, iheanacho and whoever else as attacking options off the bench, just in case.

fuchsntf Posted 2 February 2018 Share Posted 2 February 2018 This ist one of those Games of the season,we cant wait to Finish,hoping our lads can Show,themselves,the Media,but more Importantly the Fans,that the Squad,is still fully concentrated, and they can show they are Professional enough to put Mahrez Out of their own calculations and Minds. Lets forget this weeks shinannigons,its time for the team,the bench,and the Coachings staff,to earn their keep,and they, despite a Swans resurgence, are fully present,and haven't themselves gone Missing. No excuse ! I at least expect an highly competent performance The players have to stand-up.Protect 'their' club's position on and off the pitch. Prove they have got what it Takes, cos fellas thats what is all about...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MattP Posted 2 February 2018 Share Posted 2 February 2018 Fuchs, Silva and Diabate in for Chilwell, James and Gray. Got a bad feeling about this game already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, ( and I hoping ) the catalyst for the Team to show there is life after Mahrez. Spot on. Very important that the we all get behind whoever Puel goes with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendal Fox Posted 2 February 2018 Share Posted 2 February 2018 Hard to know what to expect after the last 4 days.. I just hope the others don't down tools to make a point because they are angry with Mahrez. They have to come out and show they can still play Puel's brand of football successfully, without him.

MC Prussian Posted 2 February 2018 Share Posted 2 February 2018 Schmeichel Amartey/Simpson Dragovic Maguire Fuchs/Chilwell (tougher choice here, Fuchs for defensive stabilty - but his legs are gone; or should Chilwell be "rewarded" for his sub-par performance against Everton?) Albrighton Ndidi Silva Gray Okazaki Vardy Subs: Hamer, Fuchs/Benalouane, Amartey/Simpson, Iborra, James, Diabaté, Iheanacho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone thought how he's only really been effective on the right hand side (Everton home game, his best by some distance). As a 10 or on the left, he's so predictable. Now's the time to try him there, with Albrighton on the left (again he's much better there). Come on Claude, you know you want to know. This when he’s on the left he only has one move. Goes down the left, switches to right foot and shoots. Usually blocked or goes high and wide. Much better on the right where he can beat his man and pass or cross. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
char123 Posted 2 February 2018 Share Posted 2 February 2018 i would like to see us with a back 3. when we switched to 3 at the back against everton we looked good. i would give this a try kasper dragovic maguire fuchs diabate silva iborra albrighton shinji iheanacho vardy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 09bballer Posted 2 February 2018 Popular Post Share Posted 2 February 2018 Whoever ends up on the pitch tomorrow needs massive support from the crowd. Possibly needs loudest since end of 2015/16. Be the 12th man tomorrow. Back the lads 100%. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least between the two of you, you have convinced me it actually happened. I just recall thinking he was shit and his sale must go against the trade descriptions act. I genuinely think that I normally give players longer than most, but him looking like he is coming good made me happily eat humble pie. I'm now excited to see if it could work. I remember quotes when he signed that he wanted to play as a number 10 but agree with the general consensus that he looks better as the main man, but not good enough to oust our main man. One things for certain, if we could get both on form and in the same team, and diabate can show that his first game was not a one off, then Mahrez better hope the door don't hit him in the arse on his way out.

KingKoala Posted 3 February 2018 Share Posted 3 February 2018 I'd rather put Silva over Nacho in the position behind Vardy as he seems to be a hardworking type of a player as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Maul Posted 3 February 2018 Share Posted 3 February 2018 No Mahrez, but we should hopefully still be good enough to put these away. At home they would be a different proposition, but we need to get behind the lads properly today- no quiet air of expectancy, everyone needs to sing their hearts out and see it through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
