And by that I mean he’ll head the ball off of a defender from a few yards out and it will dribble over the line. I'm gonna put 50p on a 30-yard screamer scored by the goalkeeper accidentally clearing the ball straight at his knob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane Posted 24 August 2018 Share Posted 24 August 2018 Let’s not forget how we performed without Vardy at Old Trafford. We should be confident even if Vardy isn’t available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had forgot he was injured, I'm just over excited to see him play i think Rob Tanner reckons he won't be available for the Fleetwood match. Too soon, apparently, as he's still got a way to go to shake off the injury. He'll most likely need a couple of u23 games before being considered for the first team squad.

I don't expect Southampton to offer much in attack and I also think we will see a much improved performance from Evans too. Lots of possession from us, but without a cutting edge, is what I'm predicting. Will be very happy to be proved wrong! This is a great test for Puel. These are the games he should be looking to win, if we want a 7th/8th spot finish this season aka best of the rest! Nice target...but it's no failure of we miss out.Priority for me is to find 12-14 players we can evolve with,up our performances from last year. slowly develops a team that guarantees quality PL football,giving us a platform,to challenge for higher goals. i want a journey of twists and turns, and not depend on this forum,to get us to a top 5 ,with better know-all selections and requested formations.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a nice fairy tale that I think we would all like to have, but the reality is, if clubs like Man City, Chelski and co. come calling for some of these 12-14 players, It would only be a matter of time before they can prise them away. Aiming for a top 7 finish this season and investing in players and a squad full of depth, should be our short and mid-term goals. Long-term should be to develop players through our academy and sign young talents such as Benkovic etc. With European football and top 7 finishes, we are much more likely to be able to hold onto these players we are developing, now and in the future.

Bluetintedspecs Posted 24 August 2018 Share Posted 24 August 2018 I'd like to say I'm surprised by the negative undertones from some. Personally I feel Southampton are a poor and fragile side atm and are there for the taking. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed I personally think Southampton will struggle this season, and it wouldn't be a shock to see them in or slightly floating above the relegation zone. I hate to tempt fate though and say we will be doing a repeat of last season, hence my 0-1 win 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxy boxing Posted 24 August 2018 Share Posted 24 August 2018 We need a big game from Kalechi, he needs to perform with something that suggests he can challenge Vardy for the one spot upfront! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind the aiming,or any high targets,but we shouldn't then create hate campaigns or negative crusades... you mention fairytale,then your last 2 sentences mirror what I said. Plus We can't stop the big boys if they come knocking,but if they do,it will mean we have achieved something,and many of those 12-14,players Could still want to stay,and by that time...the 14-20 placings would also have developed,from the area you yourself mention. it seems,you want to chase the "no" then recreate what was posted,in the first place.... look forums are places where one exchanges opinion and ideas,and I am sure in this case,we both want to see a true evolvement,and a seen honest committed line on devolopment,this coming 2-3seasons, fans will have their ideal targets,and club management their own. I am being hopefully pragmatic,and not following any fairytale,to build and take the time your playing squad can produce,is all one can hope for. I have dreams,ambitions,and even before the title year,have stayed loyal to the word fan (atic),I believe every year,we will extend all ambitions. f#k reality....but my last post was quite soft and stated..more of less the obvious. We need to support Puel,in the challenge to bring a new style and balanced era...to the KP. and we are in a rebuild process,with young players already showing they are ready and wanting to create a new ethos. they have hunger and waiting won't be their game or character....it's the question....can they!!! the bus has started the engine,let's enjoy the journey,before we start moaning,and go out just looking for every error of mistake.... cos like all teams,including top clubs,we will make them....it's trying to make less,that brings success in any team sport,especially Football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaggertvsWise Posted 24 August 2018 Share Posted 24 August 2018 We forget it took Vardy quite a few games to score under Puel, during that time I commented that we have found a way to win without his goals which is massive. Puel is obviously trying to take the responsibility away from our individual stand out performers such as Mahrez & Vardy. He has already stipulated that he could never have replace Mahrez (imo possibly with Zaha) so has looked to distribute the goals and match winning performances across the team which we are already beginning to see. It is a logical way for a club our size to develop and I believe he will have a concrete plan for this game. Look for Gray/Maddison/Iheanacho/Perreira to contribute massively over the next few games, possibly even Chilly & Albrighton. 3-1 City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dynamark Posted 24 August 2018 Share Posted 24 August 2018 A concrete plan I doubt .-He will pick a team (probably a different team)and trust to them and luck.Im sure he doesn't give a monkeys who scores as ;long as someone does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brucey Posted 24 August 2018 Share Posted 24 August 2018 I reckon we'll be perfectly fine without Vardy tomorrow. Southampton would have sat back and denied him space to be effective. Plus now they don't know how to prepare for us. They think they'll have an easy time of it with no Vardy and no Mahrez, but they haven't seen Madders and Ricky yet We'll definitely struggle without Vardy for the Liverpool game next week, although we probably would lose that one either way.
