Guest Col city fan Posted 4 February 2015 Posted 4 February 2015 There are quite a lot of people now saying they wouldn't start Cambiasso in that central midfield area. Even Pearson, I think, is starting to doubt he should start. I guess we'll see on Saturday. How the tide turns.
ScouseFox Posted 4 February 2015 Posted 4 February 2015 And he also looked completely fine against many more sides, whilst playing left back. So your point is? I'd have Schlupp at left back over Konch any day of the week, personally. he was really bad at everything apart from when he was an attacking full back on the overlap. so we moved him forward and now he's starting to play well. why on earth would we then neuter his main positive points by playing him at full back despite him not being very good there?! so my point is it'd be absolute lunacy to persevere with him whilst he's playing poorly as a winger, then when he finally clicks and performs well as a winger say to him "i know you've done really well there of late and were rubbish as a left back but you're going to play left back in our biggest game of the season". you need a lot more nous to play full back than on the wing, even in the championship schlupp spent 95% of his time at left back completely out of position, and as i said the only times he looked good there was when we were trouncing teams and he was effectively a secondary winger with no defending to do. so we play him on the wing.
Happy Fox Posted 4 February 2015 Posted 4 February 2015 Cambiasso and James for me, Drinkwater hasn't produced it enough.
ScouseFox Posted 4 February 2015 Posted 4 February 2015 as for cms any two of james/hammond/cambiasso would do for me. i opted for hammond/james in the other thread but it's much of a muchness. king/drinkwater is just not working, clearly. james is number one as far as i'm concerned, you can't argue with hammond's record in the team and cambiasso adds a touch of class. if they could work as a three and we had any type of formation to roll with that that'd probably be ideal but i don't think we do, really.

It's great that we have a utility player at the club. One that can play in more than one position. And I don't agree with you, I think Schlupp is every bit as good at left back as any of the other left backs we have at the club. I'd be happy enough with a Schlupp/Mahrez thing going on down that left hand side. Personally, I think Mahrez needs accommodating. I consider him our most exciting player. And I'd have Albrighton in too. The only player who runs direct and crosses from the byline. So yes. I'd be happy to have Jeff at left back to accommodate these two. You've made your feelings on Schlupp quite clear. Only before Christmas you were pretty much mullering the lad, whilst continuing to crawl up Esteban's rear end. I don't know what game you see, I really don't.
Guest Col city fan Posted 4 February 2015 Posted 4 February 2015 Wow literally every opportunity man. I'm simply stating what I'm reading Una.

I don't know what game you see, I really don't. he's really bad at left back. he was really bad at left mid too until about 6 weeks ago so why you'd want to interrupt what seems to be an upward curve i don't know. he's got all the physical attributes to be a left back but he's not very clever on a pitch, and that's frustrating when he's on the wing but to put him in a defence when he doesn't know positionally where he should be and is prone to making wrong decisions is just suicidal. speaking of suicidal you bringing up cambiasso again

Many people are suggesting now that they wouldn't start him..which is VERY different to earlier in the season. Just because you don't like that, it doesn't mean it's not a relevant observation. And I've said why I'd move Schlupp. To get the other two in the side. Do you want me to draw you a picture?

Do you want me to draw you a picture? yeah you've said why and i've said it's a stupid idea. which it is. that's like saying let's put ulloa at left back so we can play him kramaric an nugent all at the same time. it's not his position and it'd cost us. yeah things are different times change i'm sure you have had dean hammond as our first choice midfielder since time began, of course. like i said if cambiasso plays that's cool with me, he'll give us another decent performance. if we go with hammond and james i'll be just as happy, as that midfield pair looked solid against villa (until james was daft and got sent off). cambiasso/james does me, cambiasso/hammond would be interesting to see but i'm unsure it'll have enough energy about it. basically if we go king/dd in the middle it'll probably all go wrong, again. and again i'll say that nobody is "up esteban's rear end", you've got a problem with him, not the other way round.
David Hankey Posted 4 February 2015 Posted 4 February 2015 If he choice is really between these two then there is no choice. Mahrez a current international who was in fine form be he went to the ACON should be ahead in the team selection if commonsense prevails.
Guest Col city fan Posted 4 February 2015 Posted 4 February 2015 yeah you've said why and i've said it's a stupid idea. which it is. that's like saying let's put ulloa at left back so we can play him kramaric an nugent all at the same time. it's not his position and it'd cost us. yeah things are different times change i'm sure you have had dean hammond as our first choice midfielder since time began, of course. like i said if cambiasso plays that's cool with me, he'll give us another decent performance. if we go with hammond and james i'll be just as happy, as that midfield pair looked solid against villa (until james was daft and got sent off). cambiasso/james does me, cambiasso/hammond would be interesting to see but i'm unsure it'll have enough energy about it. basically if we go king/dd in the middle it'll probably all go wrong, again. and again i'll say that nobody is "up esteban's rear end", you've got a problem with him, not the other way round. You change your tune. Only a couple or three months ago, you were stating Cambi was 'world class', I do believe? And are you really saying playing Ulloa at left back would be like playing Schlupp at left back? Christ almighty...
ScouseFox Posted 4 February 2015 Posted 4 February 2015 if you can find anywhere that i have genuinely said cambiasso is currently world class (seriously, not just to wind you up) i'll be amazed tbh. and i haven't changed my tune, individually he is still comfortably our best midfielder. where to fit him into the team is a challenge, and some other partnerships (hammond/james perhaps) might be more beneficial. cambiasso and drinkwater should be our best midfielders but sometimes it just doesn't work like that, which we're finding out. like i said you already knew hammond was the first name on the teamsheet about 18 months ago, i'm sure.

Guest Col city fan Posted 4 February 2015 Posted 4 February 2015 col is always right don't argue just accept Don't be childish. I'm making an observation which appears quite apparent. Just because some people might not like this observation being made, it's still relevant when interpreting what our starting 11 might be. Before Christmas, most I suggest, would start Cambiasso in every game. Now, that does not appear to be the case. Are people thinking he might still be injured? Or that he doesn't fit? If the latter, then this is the point I've been trying to make.
lgfualol Posted 4 February 2015 Posted 4 February 2015 If vardy plays on that wing I will throw a wobbly
SecretPro Posted 4 February 2015 Posted 4 February 2015 If vardy plays on that wing I will throw a wobbly I can sense this is going to happen. Just like next week I can sense us dropping Was and bringing in Huth.

I think most people are ware that he's 34 and came back from an injury so don't want to rush him back, especially as James is back.

jammie82uk Posted 4 February 2015 Posted 4 February 2015 Leicester City’s Marc Albrighton hopes to start against Crystal Palace By Rob Tanner Leicester City winger Marc Albrighton is hoping his substitute cameos will convince manager Nigel Pearson to pick him for Saturday’s big home clash with Crystal Palace. Albrighton has been frustrated by his lack of opportunities this season and has only made two league starts this season – the defeat at Newcastle and the home win over Aston Villa. However, he has gone on from the substitutes’ bench in the last two games and has looked promising. His introduction with David Nugent at Old Trafford on Saturday provided City some attacking impetus, and Albrighton teed up Marcin Wasilewski for City’s goal. Pearson has plenty of options in wide positions now after the return of Riyad Mahrez from the Africa Cup of Nations. But after the United game, Pearson admitted Albrighton was pushing for a start and the player himself hopes he has done enough to be in contention. “Me and Nuge in the last two games have come on and we feel we have done well,” said Albrighton. “It was another chance for us to get out there and show what we are capable of. “There was nothing to lose as we were 3-0 down at the time, so we just tried to make a difference. I think we did that. “I have been pleased with my performances. I have always said I felt I was doing well. “Even when I wasn’t making the squad, I felt I was training well but, for some reason, I wasn’t being selected. “I have gained a place on the bench now and I am gaining minutes on the pitch. I feel like I am doing okay but this game is all about opinions. “I just hope I have given the gaffer something to think about. “I think I have had some good reviews from games so, if I can keep doing that, then it is all good for me.” Albrighton admits City cannot afford to gift Palace the same sort of goals they gave away to United in the first half, but he feels that if they can reproduce the performance that brought them victory at White Hart Lane two weeks ago, they will be tough to beat. “We can’t start the way we did at United and get away with it,” he said. “But credit to the lads, we stuck at it and made a fight of it at the end. “We looked at this block of games – Villa, Stoke, Manchester United and Palace – and we said apart from United, the other three are must-wins. Anything at United was a bonus. “Palace is a massive must-win game. We are at home and we are not playing badly. “If we can just reproduce what we did at Tottenham, we will have a good chance.”
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 4 February 2015 Posted 4 February 2015 No not over Mahrez. Schlupp also justifiably keeps him out of team on merit imo. But as for Vardy, a struggling, out of form striker, keeping a premiership proven right winger out of his natural position, now that begs belief! Albrighton (or even Knockaert) should certainly be starting until Mahrez is back! This.
i luv u foxes Posted 4 February 2015 Posted 4 February 2015 team for Saturday I would play hamer simpson wasyl huth schlupp cambiasso hammond mahrez nugent albrighton ulloa Were in a dog fight and as much as I want kramaric to be brilliant, its no telling how long it may take him to adjust to English football so he would be on the bench for me. Left back position has been a problem all season and form and confidence schlupp has at the moment he would be in there over de laet or konch. Morgan has been too error prone this season so huth should replace him. when cambiasso came on we looked better against utd. king and drinkwater have offered offered hardly any thing in the past few months. whilst when Hammond is in the team we seem to play well and get results so he would be in the middle with cambiasso. Nugent seems inform and can be a handful for many teams in this division whilst mahrez and albrighton give us width and creativity and ulloa would be given service he thrives off just remembered huth is banned for palace game so morgan keeps his place for now depending on how upson has been in training
Guest ttfn Posted 4 February 2015 Posted 4 February 2015 Who has said 'I'm always right? Your are misquoting what I said, but no surprise there. If you are correct and posters on here are not having Cambiasso in their starting 11 due to him not being fit, then fine. Personally, I don't think that is the reason. And yes, you were being childish. Or you just don't want to accept that you've basically been wrong about nearly everything this season and I've basically been right. Offered entirely without comment. Except that. And that.
Guest Col city fan Posted 4 February 2015 Posted 4 February 2015 Offered entirely without comment. Except that. And that. What point are you trying to prove? Just because I've been right about most stuff this season, in my opinion, does that equate to always being right? Of course not. Move on and bother someone else with your crap.

I was just demonstrating why it is that people above me in this thread might have thought that you think you're always right. I even clearly said I'm not commenting on it. As I said I'm done arguing with you now, there's no animosity in what I've posted but it's got a predictably nasty reply.
