MooseBreath Posted 31 October 2015 Share Posted 31 October 2015 ***alternative ending 3: Ulloa plays, Okazaki dropped and we score goals, play well and win. ****alternative ending 4: Ulloa plays, does nothing to prevent us conceding from corners, gives away a penalty that the ref somehow misses, wins a few headers that don't really go anywhere, tempts us into too many long balls when their weak spots are down the flanks, but otherwise puts in a decent performance at a very similar level to Okazaki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MooseBreath Posted 31 October 2015 Share Posted 31 October 2015 On other news, the team prove imblue's first half prediction that we wouldn't come back from 1-0 down completely wrong. Marc Albrighton, who imblue believes is inferior to Anthony Knockaert grabs two assists. And Sol Bamba, who imblue believes is a solid premier league defender is still reeling from his side conceding two goals in the opening six minutes at home to Blackburn rovers. Come on mate, I appreciate your contributions but maybe it's time to take a break from the keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryn Posted 31 October 2015 Share Posted 31 October 2015 Agree with Thracian, we need another goalscoring striker, if Vardy gets injured I don't think any of the others step up and replace his goals. If we don't rate Kramaric sell him, we'd probably still get £5m, and bring in someone we're going to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would class Ulloa as a goalscoring striker but that would involve us completely chamging our game. Let's just hope he doesn't get an injury. Getting someone like Austin in for example creates its own problems as he would expect to be a starting so would have to build a strong understanding with JV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thracian Posted 31 October 2015 Share Posted 31 October 2015 no idea what ulloa did today that okazaki wouldn't be criticized for? Ulloa's never going to be the most elegant footballer but he does tend to make something happen in relation to goals which I don't think has been the case with Shinji. And, for a striker, that quality seems vital to me. Vardy and Mahrez are the same, in totally different ways to each other. but the fact is that all three are a threat. If Shinji looked a threat I'd be speaking differently about him but most of the time he doesn't. He works hards, he harries people but he doesn't threaten their cohesion as a striker should.

ScouseFox Posted 31 October 2015 Share Posted 31 October 2015 Didn't he play a part in the Vardy goal and that after a longish lay-off.

He was subbed off before Vardy’s goal so her certainly played no part in that. He didn't make anything happen in relation to goals today. He was no more effective than Okazaki usually is, which might be a fine argument in favour of signing a new striker, but it's not in favour of Ulloa being ahead of Okazaki in the pecking order at this moment in time.

Thracian Posted 31 October 2015 Share Posted 31 October 2015 Thanks Scouse and Moose. My comment's been duly amended, although my feelings about our strikers remain. And if Shinji proves me wrong I'll be as pleased as everyone else. Watching the Vardy goal Kante gave such a telling pass but what brilliant support from Drinkwater and from such a deep position. I've commented in the past about the need for team-mates to bust a gut in sticking with Vardy and trusting that he might make something happen. Drinky's run helped him immensely and gave him an option at the death as well. Outstanding - one of the selfless runs of the season so far.

Yeah, ImBlue who said we should sack Pearson regardless and get a manager who can take us to a new level and that Ranieri was a top appointment. Win some you lose some mate.

Col city fan Posted 31 October 2015 Share Posted 31 October 2015 Why are people getting so wrapped up in Shinji? For me Ulloa is as much a foil for Vardy as he is. There are players IMO far more crucial to this team than Okazaki. If we lost the blistering runs of Schlupp, the aerial ability of Huth and of course, Vardy's goals, we'd look a different side. Ulloa for Shinji? Yeah fine.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point I'm making is I don't see Shinji as a crucial player into is side,. Not like some of the other players. He's ok, he plays a part but I think he'll become more of a fringe player personally.

For what Shinji does in harassing, Leo does by actually giving them something to think about in a defensive sense. Shinji is blunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulloa for Shinji? Yeah fine.. I'm not "wrapped up in him". I think he's a competent if unspectacular forward player who is about on a level with Ulloa who offers a different, but not necessarily more dangerous threat. I think the support for him on this thread is more about defending him against posters calling him "a disgusting player" and so on, which is obviously massively OTT.
