An imaginative selection. If a player scores a hat trick on his first senior (taking account that it was a low key event) appearance he deserves a place in the squad for at least the next game. Right message- as you say to the Under 21's and a gee up to everyone.
I think Ulloa offers a different kind of option but not convinced that he is central to CR's plans. Kram is a bit lightweight and possibly doesn't contribute enough in general play.

Plus Dodoo is a wide man similar to Mahrez etc rather than a striker.

CR did say that his sports science team had declared Inler match fit for 90 mins. Maybe Ulloa and Krameric are slacking a bit in training?

Several of them were thrown out after that, some probably arrested
Good to see de Laet involved in the celebrations - if not (according to some on here) in the match....

Right in front of me - not a pretty sight. As for the match, Mahrez was totally out of it once Gradel had walloped him, leaving De Laet ( who wasn't great, I'll agree ) pretty exposed, just like the chap in the picture.

De Laet is an enigma of a player. I have often criticised him and yet I also have a lot of time for him.
He is clearly not an effective Premier League right back. He goes dopey too often, fails to track his runner (as on Saturday) and his positioning is sloppy when he either gets caught too far up field or too narrow. He isn't physically strong either so it is an obvious area for opposition teams to target and they certainly have been.
However, I like his attitude and team ethic. I like his forward runs. I respect his commitment to the cause despite often being totally isolated with no cover from his midfield.
Ultimately, I think he's a better central defender than right back. In a three rather than a two. Right side of a three and his strengths come for the fore whilst his weaknesses are hidden. He came into a few games towards the end of last season there and looked a revelation.
If we play a back four, he shouldn't be in it. A back three and I'm quite confident with him.
To expand on this point further. I think Schmeichel plays better with a three in central defence. Ditto, Huth and Schlupp.

I do agree that perhaps he gets more criticism than is warranted but what I see that really frustrates me is thy when a player beats him on the outside he never turns and tries to get back to get a tackle in.
Very often you see him ambling back towards the near post and invariably he fails to cut out either the player or the cross.
He looks too casual for my nerves.
He does look good going forward with the ball at his feet though.

That could be the way the team is coached to play, rather than de Laet's failing. Someone goes round him, then the centre-half comes out while de Laet fills in as centre-half.

Maybe, just looks really shoddy. It is an extreme example but if you haven't already, have a look at his general play leading up to the overhead kick on Saturday.
Does this reinforce your opinion? Or perhaps something else should have happened that didn't?

Meh, strong tackle and then played the ball of the opponent to win the throw in.
Yellow should be rescinded if anything.

Just like Fergie saying Van Persie could have been killed at Swansea the other year, utter bollocks.
