foxfanazer Posted 9 July 2013 Posted 9 July 2013 Was just thinking about squad for the upcoming season, as you do. With the likelihood of not many incoming transfers I was thinking who needs to step up and be our special player this season. All teams that get promoted seem to have that one standout player and I feel Knockaert could/should be ours. I'd go as far to say that if played in the right position we could have the best player in this division, he has the ability to turn a game around with a piece of magic that you rarely see in the championship. Here's to hoping he is up to it!
Ric Flair Posted 9 July 2013 Posted 9 July 2013 It's imperitive that he improves and becomes even more important for us next season but likewise Ben Marshall, Chris Wood and Andy King. They are game changers and we need them to be more consistent and we need our manager to give them the platform and freedom to do so.
LeicesterAreGoingUp Posted 9 July 2013 Posted 9 July 2013 need to get marshall's confidence back also
Happy Fox Posted 9 July 2013 Posted 9 July 2013 I would like NP to please remove himself from the notion of playing 4-4-2 it is drab formation in a different era. 4-2-2-2 would be far more beneficial allowing Knockaert and Marshall to be played centrally!
allen10 Posted 9 July 2013 Posted 9 July 2013 I say give him a free reign! He's very good at making space for himself to receive the ball and letting him roam in the final third would be a very astute move.
lgfualol Posted 9 July 2013 Posted 9 July 2013 4-2-2-2 would be far more beneficial allowing Knockaert and Marshall to be played centrally! That's my formation on Fifa and I've won the Premiership and Champions league 5 times.
foxfanazer Posted 9 July 2013 Author Posted 9 July 2013 That's my formation on Fifa and I've won the Premiership and Champions league 5 times.Sorted then!

LCFC FOX Posted 9 July 2013 Posted 9 July 2013 Don't think Cardiff and Hull and one stand out player? I know Palace had Murray scoring most of the goals but that was mainly through the quality of there wingers
foxfanazer Posted 9 July 2013 Author Posted 9 July 2013 Don't think Cardiff and Hull and one stand out player? I know Palace had Murray scoring most of the goals but that was mainly through the quality of there wingersCardiff always had Whittingham as there standout player. You're right though Hull are the exception to my theory
LCFC FOX Posted 9 July 2013 Posted 9 July 2013 Whittingham had one of his worst seasons last season, never herd him as much as you did 2/3 years ago
cc_star Posted 9 July 2013 Posted 9 July 2013 Drinkwater & /or James need to dominate the middle, & allow King to use his guile Marshall needs to really step up, we know he's capable Wood needs to get back to the goals he scored for Millwall & earlier on for us. Knockaert is a bit of a selfish enigma, he's the slowest player I've ever seen, constantly runs into deadends then falls over to make an excuse for his lack of pace... rarely makes a pass when other players a far better placed, he really needs to grow as a player & put his obvious natural talent to better use for the good of the team. Hope he can kick on as a team player, if he does he could be the difference we need. I also wonder if the fan's unquestioning loyalty to him has gone to his head, not that he should be hung drawn & quarter but some constructive comments wouldn't go amiss
foxfanazer Posted 9 July 2013 Author Posted 9 July 2013 Whittingham had one of his worst seasons last season, never herd him as much as you did 2/3 years agoOk close thread
lgfualol Posted 9 July 2013 Posted 9 July 2013 If only you had applied for the managers post when sven left. I did. Look who's laughing now. (me)
whoareyaaa Posted 9 July 2013 Posted 9 July 2013 Play him in the centre! Agree with this, should be played behind 2 strikers or part of the 2 strikers but with him dropping into midfield.
Fox92 Posted 9 July 2013 Posted 9 July 2013 Needs to play behind the striker for me, not out wide. Same with Marshall as well, who I hope has gained some confidence back because on his day, he can be a great player for us as well. Only thing that frustrates me with Knockaert is the fact he sometimes fails to pass.
LCFC FOX Posted 9 July 2013 Posted 9 July 2013 Ok close thread He wasn't though? You can't say Whittingham stood out in the championship last season
foxfanazer Posted 9 July 2013 Author Posted 9 July 2013 He wasn't though? You can't say Whittingham stood out in the championship last seasonOk you're right, I'm wrong. The point was more about knockaert anyway and most promoted teams usually have a standout player, clearly not Hull or Cardiff
cc_star Posted 9 July 2013 Posted 9 July 2013 He wasn't though? You can't say Whittingham stood out in the championship last season Bellemy was their difference, was he outstanding every week? No, but in tight games he was the winner
Dan Posted 9 July 2013 Posted 9 July 2013 Stand by he's the player we ought to build this squad around. Most naturally gifted player we've had in years and I genuinely do believe he can play at a very high level one day, it's just a case of getting the best out of him and allowing him to develop his own way, because we'll do well to get someone with his kind of ability in this league.

StanSP Posted 9 July 2013 Posted 9 July 2013 Pearson does not have a clue as to what "his right position" is. I'm pretty sure he knows he is manager.
Guest Bilo Posted 9 July 2013 Posted 9 July 2013 I just hope that penalty miss at Watford hasn't damaged him. He's a young lad who suffered a pretty devastating footballing experience. On the other hand, that could give him fresh impetus to absolutely tear this league up. I wouldn't want to be a Championship defender if that happens.
