lcfc_forever Posted 3 December 2006 Share Posted 3 December 2006 Every week like any City fan, I am bemused by the team Kelly picks. Why does he keep the same 11 that capitualted against Norwich? Why did he play most of the players that were so rubbish against Derby? The only way Fryatt, Williams and Weso are going to get match fit is if they play a full 90 mins at Championship level. I am fed up of blaming the referee for every defeat - let's face facts - our performances simply have not been up to standard. When we needed to have a defensive midfielder who can close down Sheff Wed'smidfielders who are well known to strike the ball well from long range (Whelan, Brunt), he takes Tiatto off. We should be putting some of the youngsters on the bench - they can't be any worse than the likes of Low and Welsh. He should experiment with the formation as Leicester are too rigid. He needs the team to pass the ball instead of knocking aimless long balls to Hume and Fryatt who like the ball to feet. Just really fed up of the inept displays of late - we're better than this as October showed. My team would be: Logan Stearman McCarthy (McAuley for the Wolves match) Kisnorbo Johansson Hughes Williams Wesolowski Porter Hume Fryatt Subs: McAuley Henderson Tiatto Gradel/King Dodds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fez of Mahrez Posted 3 December 2006 Share Posted 3 December 2006 So essentially, you'd play pretty much the team he's been picking, except you'd have been playing two injured players in central midfield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thracian Posted 3 December 2006 Share Posted 3 December 2006 So essentially, you'd play pretty much the team he's been picking, except you'd have been playing two injured players in central midfield? Not much different to the present situation then of picking a half-fit Williams and he replacing a forever injured Tiatto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l444ry Posted 3 December 2006 Share Posted 3 December 2006 I've said it before and I'll say it again.....Changing the players is no different to rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic. A new manager might knock some sense into them but in a perfect world they virtually all need shipping out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shez Posted 3 December 2006 Share Posted 3 December 2006 Henderson kenton kisnorbo mcauley tiatto weslowski williams hume porter hammond fryatt if all players are fit, id like to see city play those players in that formation, it will stop us from playing long ball, because players will be able to come short to collect ball of defenders, porter and hume can then run at players. Williams in ideal position to play the ideal pass! weloswski can be our ball winner! also because all our wingers are shite, its best if we dont play any of them (welsh, sylla and lowe) Discuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcfc_forever Posted 3 December 2006 Author Share Posted 3 December 2006 There are a few changes in the squad I chose - no Low, Welsh, Maybury or Hammond who have figured in the last three matches. Williams and Weso need Championship matches - training's not enough for match fitness, especially since there's no reserve side. And there should be youngsters on the bench - all we see are the same old tired, useless faces who won't change the match. Agreed it's similar to one team - the one that saved us last season with the exception of Joey Gudjonnson and Maybury. He has not played the side I chose all season so there are differences and I don't think he would have if all those players had been available - he would have packed the midfielders with defenders instead of three attacking players.

Joe. Posted 3 December 2006 Share Posted 3 December 2006 I am one of the biggest moaners about Kelly's team selections but to be honest, whatever he picks it's not good enough. At the end of the day it all comes down to us not being good enough. We have no quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimp Posted 4 December 2006 Share Posted 4 December 2006 It doesn't matter what formation we play, we simply haven't got enough quality in the squad to compete in this league unless the manager can get them to perform above their capabilities week in, week out.
