NotTheMarketLeader Posted 11 November 2014 Share Posted 11 November 2014 You state King has been our best midfielder? At Southampton he could not do thing right, and in the first half was Southamptons best player. I have never seen him have worse game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indierich06 Posted 11 November 2014 Share Posted 11 November 2014 Think I'd go 4-5-1 for this. The diamond isn't working and while I'm convinced we need more width, I think we really need the extra bodies in central midfield too: Schmeichel De Laet Moore Morgan Schlupp James Cambiasso Drinkwater Knockaert Mahrez Ulloa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickov22 Posted 11 November 2014 Share Posted 11 November 2014 Why oh why do people keep selecting alloa and vardy as our strike force, some people must have crap in their eyes, game after game they are pathetic, currently alloa cannot make his way into the penalty box, loads of you bigging up vardy, yes he has pace, but he lacks ball control, vision and positional sense, i make no secret of the fact i think nugent is a useful player in his correct position, up top as an out and out striker, when he plays there he makes rickets but he will allways get shots in and scores a few and creates chances, he is not a winger or a link man so if he gets picked he should play in his true position. also de laet is great going forward, so why not play him right side of midfield with a defender in the right back position. Ha ha ha preferring Nugent to Ulloa and Vardy. Nugent has about as much goal threat as Colin Gordon used to have for us. He's been pathetic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been pathetic Agreed. Nugent is about 5 seconds behind everyone else. When he gets the ball there's about 5 seconds where he's thinking about where to kick it- before losing it. I think Nick Powell has had more shots on goal than Nugent this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number 6 Posted 11 November 2014 Share Posted 11 November 2014 Here's my selection, something different this time 3-5-2 system Kasper Moore - CB Morgan - CB Wasyl or Simpson- CB Mahrez - Wing back Schlupp - Wing Back Cambiasso - Sitting in front of back 3 James Drinkwater Vardy Ulloa Was pretty muchgoing to put this. Don't really like a 3-5-2 but think it allows a lot of things we all want: Width! Pace in Schlupp, Mahrez and Vardy Support for Ulloa up top Cambiasso can still play holding role Drinkers central with James Would require good performances from CBs which is the potential weakness. As long as Cambiasso offers the midfield link then I think it would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been pathetic Nugent played in his correct position is a better player than either vardy or ulloa, he has played for england under 23s and gained one international cap, scored 20 assisted 12 last year, also alloa and vardy play less effectively without him, redknapp nearly ruined his career by not giving him a chance at pompey, and what does he know, he has lost a little pace now he is approaching thirty, but played as an out an out striker he is better than them two, laugh all you like, im an old duffer now, but a long while ago, i played alongside and against professional footballers, that means nothing in itself, football is in front of you, people should be able to discern the ability of players. thats assuming you know the basics of football, you do not seem to.grasp them .

dayday Posted 12 November 2014 Share Posted 12 November 2014 1. Kasper 2. DeLeat RB 3 Schlupp LB 4. Wasyl. CB 5. Morgan. CB 6. James. CM 7. Drinkwater CM 8. Mahrez. RM 9. Lawrence LM 10 Vardy. S 11. Ulloa S That's a very good attacking team, gone with Lawrence as I think the left side has never been sorted since Dyer left,can do no worse than blood this kid. For this to work Mahrez and Lawrence have to do there defensive duties when the full backs bomb on,Nigel Pearson not so long ago said that fast full backs are essential in modern football. Got to be worth a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cambiasso with that holding role free's up James/Drinkwater to battle on and maybe get Cambiasso passing that ball out to the wings or up front to Vardy/Ulloa.

suffolk fox Posted 12 November 2014 Share Posted 12 November 2014 Pearson has to be more attack minded against Sunderland,if he sticks with the same team and loses,I think some of the fans will turn on him, that's the harsh reality. The Thais have already shown with Eriksson,that they are not afraid to pull the plug if things are not going well. Perhaps we can be the 12th man. If the kop all stand in unisonand sing, "attack, attack, attack" someone may get the message? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I certainly have a grasp on the basics of football, thanks. Nugent had a decent season last season. Decent. Not spectacular because he didn't get anywhere near enough goals from open play. At times he was fantastic- his goal at Burnley and at home to QPR dispelled any myths that he wasn't good enough for that level. He did fine, and to go along with that he always put in 100% which I like in a player. However, this season he's been absolutely nowhere near good enough. Whether he's upfront or behind the front two you have to MAKE THINGS HAPPEN. That's what all the top strikers do. Vardy does it, Nugent does not. He's been so out of his depth this season that's it's embarrassing. If I saw you now I'd happily bet you £100 that post Jan when we hopefully strengthen the striking department, he will not even be in contention to play in the first 11.

Take your point about none of them really having proven they're good enough for the division yet. However can't agree on Vardy and your suggestion he's been as bad as Nugent! Granted he's not been great but at least he's a threat. Almost scored at Palace, played pretty well in every other game too. Just lacks service. He's still a danger with his raw pace and determination. Nugent has looked absolutely totally out of his depth. Can you remember the last time he had a decent opportunity? Ran with the ball? Did anything? I can't. He's no way good enough. Not in a million years. If I were a defender id be delighted to mark him as he's no threat whatsoever. At least with Vardy you know he's going to run at you and in behind you. At least with Ulloa he's physical and you know you're in for a battle. I think you're a little harsh on who and who isn't good enough. It's a bit early in the season to tell that yet, and we are on a terrible run.
