Because he has more speed than Morgan and Huth, so can play in either 5, the 5-3-2 or 3-5-2, plus that huge throw, which is as good as having a free kick or corner every time we have a throw-in in their final third.

3-4-3 will allow us to taken apart even more IMO, 3-5-2 maybe however we have to face up to the fact that King and Amartey are not good enough for 90 Mins at this level

Can he play in goal better than Zieler?

If the choice for a defensive midfielder to protect the back line is between King and Hernandez, then Hernandez gets my vote every day of the week as the bigger, stronger player who is not afraid to make big tackles all match long.

A circle jerk might relieve more tension.

And appeal to some more than others.

Sunderland looked a decent team against Liverpool, certainly not the guaranteed points for us that I have seen suggested. I'm in a state of gloom though.
Thing is, I can't see what CR can do other than 'keep the faith', encourage and hope we come good. I don't see that we have the options to do much else. Hernandez coming in for Huth might be a thought though.
Personally, I think we have a glaring midfield problem (and DD's suspension just highlights that). It's not performing defensively nor attacking. In short, it's absent. The Jan window has never seemed so far away.
I hope for a least a point but I can't see it tbh. I think we're in a mess and we'll fall further before we turn around. There's just little cohesiveness in our performances, we're patchy and frail, lacking in confidence - and no sign of it getting better.
Sorry, I did say I'm full of gloom at the mo.

Interesting that it took a newcomer to actually mention the word 'Sunderland' in a thread entitled "Sunderland vs Leicester" rather than some meandering discourse on the merits of various goalkeepers.

Yes Yak hope you're settling into the forum okay.
Interesting Avatar. I'm trying to think who she is. I'm sure I know the face.
