Has it been explained why Albrighton and Ulloa dropped?

Recommended Posts

Posted

Does anyone know if they were carrying knocks? Had spoken out of turn? Surely Albrighton and Ulloa had to start if fit?

 

I imagine that Nige was naive enough to think that being quick would be the best way to win a game against Stoke. People still think they're the same side that played under Pulis.

 

We needed to get the ball down and play today, we invited way too much pressure. We have a dismal home record because we let teams come and play here. We need to start getting the ball and dictating the play again.

It was a pretty obvious tactical decision by Nige which a ten year old could have worked out. He didn't feel crosses by Albrighton into Ulloa with 6' 4" defenders was a good idea.

I'm not saying it was the right decision I'm just saying it was fvcking obvious what the mindset is.

But relying on King and Drinkwater to supply through balls for Vardy was!?!?

Ulloa was absolutely terrible against Villa

With Albrighton I'm guessing it was a toss up between him and Knockeart (due to us needing some muscle in the midfield Schlupp was a nailed on starter) and both Albrighton and Knockeart played well last week

Don't understand Lawrence coming on before Albrighton though

If it was purely tactical then it's extremely poor management. I can't see why we wouldn't want to continue in the same vein after the Villa match.

I'm not following. How does Schlupp bring muscle to the team?

 

Ulloa wasn't terrible against Villa at all, he contributed a to a good team performance, and is our only real goal threat.

One of Schlupp's best (and only) attributes is his strength and how he outmuscles and shoulder charges players off the ball. Did it three times today.

Ulloa has been great but last week was his worst performance for us.

Honestly starting to think Pearson has some sort of personal vendetta against Albrighton. He only ever plays when he absolutely has to and if he plays well he usually gets dropped anyway. Must have been a Robinson signing that Nige didn't particularly want imo.

The thing that annoys me about Ulloa is that there will be crosses going into the box and where is he? Outside the box why does he do that i will never know, it's become a formality surely NP should have noticed this by now and told him to get himself in the box when our wingers etc are at the edge of the area

He drops deep through instinct to get the ball because he's getting no service...

 

He's our best striker by a considerable margin.

I was told that we have received a significant bid for Ulloa from an Italian team and he was being protected whilst city decide if they are interested in selling him. A friend of ours spoke to Nigel at the Sports Awards earlier this week and he told them his top pairing is Vardy and Kramaric.

Ulloa terrible last week - lol

He had a shocker against Villa at home. The whole ground could see that.

Should still start each game though in my opinion.

Doesn't sound like something he would say.

He told a lawyer friend of ours this, no reason to think it's lies.

Shame he didn't give them five minutes together then - he could have taken Nugent off first rather than leave him on and subbing Vardy first.
