The rest of the season

[Skitzo]

Well our season is now effectively over, cannot say I am overly fussed about a Europa league place so not arsed if we catch Burnley for 7th or not.

So what I am hoping to see from Puel is some courage in developing the style of football he wants us to play, starting with dropping the players that cannot cope with it, namely Wes Morgan and Danny Simpson, if they cannot play the system and style Puel wants comfortable they shouldn't be picked for the rest of the season regardless of who the player is.

Use Albrighton at RB until Amartey is fit again and play Gray on the left wing, also, no more Shinji or Nacho at 10, play Silva there, or one of the 5 or 6 10s we have in the U23s that score for fun, Nacho and Vardy to rotate properly, keep Vardy ticking over for the world cup but start giving Nacho proper minutes in his natural no 9 role.

Also, Kasper, he needs replacing in the summer, Hamer is out of contract and shouldn't be renewed so play Jakupovic so we know what we really have in him, whether or not we are just looking for a new number one, Jack Butland would be my first choice, or if we need a new sub keeper too.

basically I want to see this

Jakupovic

Albrighton Dragovic Maguire Chilwell

NDidi Iborra(c)

Mahrez Silva Gray

Vardy​

I agree.
Premier league status is assured, time to look forward to next season.
Bleed some of the young blood.

Out with the old, in with the new.
I'm sure our lovely fans will give them all their full support.

I agree with the principle of thinking bout next season, but I'd rather we didn't just have one way to play. I'd rather we developed a variety of strategies and formations, so that we could adapt to different matches and circumstances.

let's develop the first styler first shall we as we don't really have one other than give the ball tro Mahrez

I’m very fussed about a Europa League spot. This club has qualified for European competition on four occasions in its history. I don’t think we get to turn our noses up at that.

There seems to be an assumption that we will always have the opportunity to do so. Presumably on the basis that we appear to be well run and are comfortable in th top flight now.

I’ve supported us long enough to know that such periods are rare and do not last very long when the arrive. By all means lets be ambitious and plan to stay where we are, or better, forever. But lets not take it for granted. European football, please.

Well, I'm arsed about seeing us playing in Europe, especially as it'd make us more attractive to new recruits and we'd go in with a decent chance of winning the thing. I hope we do all we can to beat Burnley over the line.

As shit as the Europa thingy is I'd rather we farted about in it for a bit than not. Can't see us qualifying for it but it'd be alreet if we did.

 

[Skitzo]

I don't think the Europa league is a draw to players almost no one takes it serious with most clubs playing reserves

I don’t think continental players and teams feel that way.

That’s a fair point. One step at a time and all that.

Yeah but it's not about them. It's a chance to watch your reserves abroad, drink some cheap/superior beer and get your head kicked in by someone in another country.

 

[Skitzo]

Spanish German and Italian clubs all pretty much do the same and English, play the reserves until you get to the later stages

 

[camberwell fox]

Why would you rotate Vardy and Nacho Skitzo?

 

[Skitzo]

I was specifically referring to the "help with attracting players" point

 

[Skitzo]

Why would you rotate Vardy and Nacho Skitzo?

I would play Vardy from the start most games but I also think we need to look at Nacho is his best role, as the no 9, subbing Vardy after an hour for the rest of the season won't harm him in anyway and will actually give meaningful minutes to our reserve striker

Yep, a good kicking always feels superior when it’s been meated out with Italian Brogues.

I get your point but subbing off Vardy is not a good idea as he is a goal machine and can score at any time.

I would much prefer to see them getting a run together with Nacho playing the 10 role or in the pocket?

that's not his role though and playing him there hinders the team, Nacho is a finisher play him in his best role and see what he can do when we aren't at risk of relegation

Much rather be kicked in the head in a platz or a parc than a car park in stoke, like.

I am at a miss as to why I liked your post particularly as you ended such paragraph with your own like, like.
