Silverdaz Posted 16 July 2014 Share Posted 16 July 2014 STRONGLY DISAGREE Albrighton IS better than Knocky. Knockeart will be 3rd choice winger now IMO I agree I think Albrighton and Mahrez are both better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan LCFC Posted 16 July 2014 Share Posted 16 July 2014 Bit of a bold statement to claim Albrighton is better than Knockaert. How many of us actually know that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos88LCFC Posted 16 July 2014 Share Posted 16 July 2014 Bit of a bold statement to claim Albrighton is better than Knockaert. How many of us actually know that? When he burst on the scene with Villa he was linked with big clubs. His career went a bit stale and he needed a move. He wil have so much to prove next season it will probably be the best he will have ever played especially with being a "big name player" at the club. It will fill him with confidence, by the looks/sound of him he needs to be wrapped in cotton wool and I think he will get that here. But we will see.

artursteppe Posted 16 July 2014 Share Posted 16 July 2014 I think it will be very fluid, with great match changing subs to bring on. I favour a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1, we probably wouldn't notice the difference. I think we will defend deep and break quickly. Vardy will usually start, especially if we get Ulloa. Vardy will chase down the opposition from upfield, buying time for organisation. Don't be surprised to see Albrighton with Drinky and James in a three man midfield with the other three positions being taken up by ( Ulloa ), Knocky, Mahrerz, Vardy and Nuge. Of those five, two would usually be subbed. Because it will be hard to choose, lots will be done with picking form players and use of subs. The players will view coming off the bench as an opportunity, those in the start team would have to perform every game to keep their place. Nige will love it.

Don't forget how good Knockaert can be at times though. Often frustrating but it isn't beyond him to whip out something you'd expect of an absolute top player. It's a good problem to have though.

artursteppe Posted 16 July 2014 Share Posted 16 July 2014 We will see much more rotation, not just to freshen the team up, but there will be much less need to play anyone with even the slightest knock. Although it isn't usually Nigel's way we might even see a progression of his new found tactical awareness since he moved to view from the stands, and pick teams he thinks would be best on a game by game basis. For example there may be times when a 'target man' would not be picked, in preference of addition pace on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we will see. hardly a big name player! hope he does have the hunger to become a starter but at this moment in time i would give knockaert the chance to prove himself in the prem! feel that albrighton will need to first of all show that he has proven he deserves a chance to show he can prove himself in the prem, not just be thrown in there because he has played for villa.

lgfualol Posted 16 July 2014 Share Posted 16 July 2014 Out of interest, why would you choose Albrighton on the left? I couldnt remember where he played so just put him there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxfanazer Posted 16 July 2014 Share Posted 16 July 2014 Think people do knockaert a bit of a disservice sometimes. He is one of the few city players over the past 10 or so years that can get you out of your seat through a bit of trickery or a wonder goal. He's worth the entry fee alone sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerrrFox Posted 16 July 2014 Share Posted 16 July 2014 I think the 3-5-2 will return this season against the stronger teams who we are unlikely to get points off. Gives us 3 in midfield, keeps 2 up top and despite popular opinion we've got centre backs who suit that formation. Plus we've got absolute flyers in De Laet and Schlupp who would be very capable wing backs.

dorsetboy Posted 16 July 2014 Share Posted 16 July 2014 We could go Dutch 3-4-3 Kasper Moore. Morgan. Was Do laet. Schlupp Drink James Mahrez. Vardy. Allbrighton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCFCCKEANO Posted 16 July 2014 Share Posted 16 July 2014 Mahrez is 10x the player Knocky is, Albrighton must be to have lasted in the prem and have been reckoned the way he was, because we love Knockaert we overrate him. Good player mind, just nowhere near Mahrez and probably Albrighton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stadt Posted 16 July 2014 Share Posted 16 July 2014 I still think we need a physical defensive midfielder like that Serey Die or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dayday Posted 16 July 2014 Share Posted 16 July 2014 As FoxFanazer said if you play 4 2 3 1 Knocky is prob the best option as CAM. He has flair, can hit a screemer every now and again. But out on the wing he lacks pace which is essentail in the prem or at the very least have a superb end product which unfortunatly he has neither. In the middle he could be a good player with taking people on and feeding the wingers or striker. Just on the wing he looses the ball far to often and when you lose the ball to a LB/RB and then they take our LB/RB out or position, the CB pulls across and then we are in trouble. From what Villa fans say,Allbrighton lacks pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what the formation or starting line up will be however I can, with great confidence say that it will involve our wingers We currently have three, your formation/line up involves none of them. No chance of that happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxboy Posted 18 July 2014 Share Posted 18 July 2014 Just thinking about the team we have and with Ulloa also coming in (if all goes to plan) ..... will we play two up top or just the one and what midfield would we play? I personally would love to see a 3-5-2 or a 4-5-1. Schmeichel Morgan Moore Upson Drinky James Albrighton Mahrez Knocky Ulloa/Vardy/Nuge/Wood (2 of) Or Schmeichel De laet Moore Morgan Schlupp? Drinky James Albrighton Mahrez Knocky Ulloa/Vardy/Nuge/Wood (1 of) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
