marbelladave Posted 2 January 2011 Posted 2 January 2011 Sounds okay except that it worries me whether Berner will get sufficient help and protection at left-back. Supporting our fullbacks defensively has been an issue all season. We simply do not have the kind of wide midfield players who get up and down and combine effective midfield play with a forward threat, it is probably the main reason we can not play 4-4-2. Dyer is a winger and although effective in forward areas he does not know how to play when he drops into midfield, hopeless a linking up play mostly he just runs with the ball, useless from 50 yards out. Gallagher is not a wide player, simple as. He has improved defensively but nothing like enough to be effective cover for a suspect full back, be it Berner or Cunningham. I would prefer to see a couple of midfielders sat in front of the back 4 covering the whole line, leaving the wide men to cover their fullbacks without having to track all the way back. They do not need to be purely defensive either, though this must be their priority, for the moment I would play King and Abe in this role, as you have said yourself, we miss King's contribution in defense.
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 2 January 2011 Posted 2 January 2011 I hope LEICESTER CITY win but ive got a feeling they will draw 1-1 and undo the good work of the Hull City Victory. Come on LEICESTER prove me wrong
Gazza M Posted 2 January 2011 Posted 2 January 2011 I would make two changes to the team that started against Hull. Berner in for the injured Cunningham and Waghorn in for Gallagher, who i think needs a rest and Waggy is champing at the bit to get a full run out. WEALE BERNER HOBBS MORRISON NAUGHTON ABE WELLENS KING WAGHORN VASSELL DYER SUBS: LOGAN, MEE, OAKLEY, GALLAGHER, HOWARD, BEDNAR, NIELSON. I am predicting a tight affair, but I think our home for will carry us through. 2-0 (Dyer, Waghorn)

TheUltimateWinner Posted 2 January 2011 Posted 2 January 2011 Weale Naughton Hobbs Bamba (Need experience & Co-Ordination so in goes bamba!) Mee (He can play LB) Abe Wellens King Moussa Waghorn Vassell As RL have said all dyer has got is pace, And cant finish goal scoring opertunities & cross. EDIT: Forgot about moussa :L (As you do)
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 2 January 2011 Posted 2 January 2011 Same team with Berner obviously coming in. Think it will be a tough game, would definitely takea 1-0 win right now.
ScouseFox Posted 2 January 2011 Posted 2 January 2011 A non-match fit Berner coming up against Nathan Dyer/Scott Sinclair should be fun to watch That'd be my only change, Berner in for Cunningham. Vassell has to start up top, which means unless you put Waghorn on the wing, Gallagher's going to play aswell.
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 2 January 2011 Posted 2 January 2011 I dont know why people are worried about Berner being match fit, or getting done for pace against Dyer/Sinclair. Berner is no mug, he has the experience and he wont get beaten as many times as Naughton will. I might be wrong but I think Bruno is more than capable of keeping either one of them quiet.
clarkeylcfc Posted 2 January 2011 Posted 2 January 2011 Weale Naughton Hobbs Morrison Mee (He can play LB) Abe Wellens King Gallagher Waghorn Vassell As RL have said all dyer has got is pace, And cant finish goal scoring opertunities & cross. And gallagher can?
Bugg Posted 2 January 2011 Posted 2 January 2011 Weale Naughton Hobbs Morrison Berner Abe Wellens King Dyer Vassell Moussa Front three would scare any opposition with pace.
fatmando Posted 2 January 2011 Posted 2 January 2011 Sven may well play Mee instead of Cunningham on the left. Especially if Bruno's got a deal in the pipeline to go elsewhere. Wouldn't be surprised if Bamba starts instead of Morrison aswell. Waghorn should start over Gallagher but probably won't. So hope we can go a winning run now. 2-1 Leicester, Kingy and Vassell.
shade Posted 2 January 2011 Posted 2 January 2011 1 - 0 to Swansea. an average performance from city with very little created for the front man.
Corky Posted 2 January 2011 Posted 2 January 2011 Weale Naughton Hobbs Morrison Berner Abe King Wellens Dyer Vassell Gallagher Will be a tough game but we have what it takes to win, they've lost 6 on the road this season so it's not an impossible task. 1-0 win.
Bausor Posted 2 January 2011 Posted 2 January 2011 2-0 to city second clean in as many games and another 3 points, king & vassel with the goals,
StanSP Posted 2 January 2011 Posted 2 January 2011 Time for another thrashing I think . Vassell to get a hat-trick, King and Hobbs to complete scoring.
The Doctor Posted 2 January 2011 Posted 2 January 2011 bruno in for cunningham, waghorn in for gallagher. reckon 2-1, king & waghorn.
LCFClukeLCFC Posted 2 January 2011 Posted 2 January 2011 weale naughton mee hobbs berner abe king wellens dyer vassell waggy subs:logan,howard, gallagher,oakley,vitor*,morrison,bamba *if fit 2-0 city king and waggy
hackneyfox Posted 2 January 2011 Posted 2 January 2011 I don't want to see a back 4 that contains Morrison, Hobbs & Berner and Sven clearly doesn't either. I could see Swansea giving them a torrid time.
sham Posted 2 January 2011 Posted 2 January 2011 Looks like Curtis has decided to go back Curtis Davies has pulled out of Leicester’s game today and is returning to Aston Villa in a bid to seal a Premier League move. Centre-back Davies, 25, has been a big success on loan at Championship Leicester under Sven Goran Eriksson. Link

Unit Posted 3 January 2011 Posted 3 January 2011 **** him, he got worse and worse anyway. A big reflection of his performances at Villa by the sounds of things, a quality player but not always 100% up for it. Shame really.
ScouseFox Posted 3 January 2011 Posted 3 January 2011 Wouldn't have said he's been a big success at all.
themotivator Posted 3 January 2011 Posted 3 January 2011 bamba in for morro. bruno or mee in for gregg. thats as in depth as i can manage at 4.25.
