Farrington fox Posted 21 February 2019 Share Posted 21 February 2019 We desperately need to win these next 2 games. If we don’t I will start worrying, especially if those below us pick up points. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet people still insist we should build our game around a 32 year old striker whose main attribute is pace which is starting to go, Vardy needs to adapt for his own sake as well as the style the manager wants to employ We all know this but try replacing him with an actual striker instead of a winger!

AjcW Posted 21 February 2019 Share Posted 21 February 2019 Not ideal if our left back is out when the other one just spent the majority of the break in New York and might not have done as much/any training? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that he's in the training video so he'll get at least two days in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not able to sign a striker until the transfer window. Puel might as well double-check he hasn't already got a solution. Arguably, there's no harm in trying rather: if it doesn't work, so what; if it does, we've saved ourselves £20 million odd. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col city fan Posted 21 February 2019 Share Posted 21 February 2019 (edited) 2 hours ago, chapero82 said: Because he’s not even a gret winger let alone a striker who he thinks will replace Jamie Vardy In the absence of many clear alternatives, why not give him a try up front? Puel was making the point that Gray gave the opposition back four a difficult time with his work rate and runs off the ball. I see no issue with experimenting? However, I’ve long said I’d start with Vardy. To my mind you must start with your best striker and especially until we know we are pretty much safe. Gray as a striking option sounds ok to me.

He said he had a plane back to England on Sunday or Monday (can’t quite remember) on an Instagram story at the weekend, so I reckon he must have been with the squad for most of the week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he's said is Gray has potential ("all the qualities for the future") but needs an end product and to impact games more ("he needs to learn to have calm, to have the right touch, to finish" and "he needs to have the clinical edge because a striker or winger needs to score"). It's pretty much exactly what every city fan says about Gray and why they criticise him (he's had potential for a while but stalled and not fulfilled it). This is literally people disagreeing purely because Puel said it. Edited 21 February 2019 by The Doctor 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see a player who understands how to play centre forward .....who knows when to press and when not to press..... who knows how to split the defenders to encourage a less dangerous pass which won’t put our midfield under pressure ........... Henry was a player who was changed from a winger to a striker with great success ......sadly I can’t see that gray has the intelligence to make it work 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BraunstoneFox23 Posted 21 February 2019 Share Posted 21 February 2019 Really hope we can get the win here! I’m expecting them to bag one through some Woy Yoda force but I think we could certainly get 2 or 3. COYB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LestaAl Posted 21 February 2019 Share Posted 21 February 2019 It would be great to see a win this weekend. A good performance from the team at home would also help. Just worried that Puel makes choices that the supporters don’t understand and it all turns ugly. There was a time I used to look forward to supporting Lcfc at the King Power and hopefully that feeling will return soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post The Doctor Posted 22 February 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 22 February 2019 6 hours ago, FLAN said: He isn’t even good/consistent in his own position let alone up front Right, but that's really not a counter argument against Puel saying he's got potential but needs to demonstrate it, you're closer to saying the exact same thing. As I said, what Puel has said is what every critic of Gray repeatedly says, just in a more supportive and tactful way (almost like he's Gray's boss or something). People taking issue with it, when it's an opinion they've voiced, are showing they're not interested in reasoned positions and criticism, they start with hating Puel and work backwards from that to justify it. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a creator he has the most assists of any outfield player that doesn't take set pieces for us, he is decent in the support role behind Vardy.

It's the fact that he's the most static striker I've ever seen that concerns me more; someone who spends most of his game waiting to score tap ins should be assessed on actually scoring IMO.
