...which hopefully the surgery will fix.

Not really. He'll probably only miss Spurs league game.

Did you mean Spurs cup game?

I'd be surprised if he starts at Villa as we won't want to rush him back after surgery and even more so as everyone says he needs a rest too.
Hopefully we won't need him there though!
He probably wouldn't have played in that anyway. So it could be only the league game he misses due to his injury.

Kramaric has to be our answer. We already know Okazaki and Ulloa aren't.

Okazaki hasn't looked good at times but he hasn't yet been played in his favoured position. This is a chance for him and I hope he takes it, if only to give me the comfort of knowing we have more depth in that position that I fear we do at present.
Kramaric is an odd one. Whenever I see him he does enough to convince me that there's a player in there somewhere. But it doesn't seem likely that it will emerge here. Perhaps a more technique-driven league will suit him better.

I don't think it's odd at all. He's been given three opportunities this season (against Bury, West Ham and Hull) and he was useless each time. In fact, in two of those three games, he was hauled off as the first change after an hour despite us needing goals (I do recall him scoring against Bury too). This suggests to me that Ranieri has been very disappointed in him.
In his year with us, he's appeared twenty times, eleven starts and nine sub appearances. He's scored four goals. So, he's been given a chance.
However, his contribution to the team is what stands out rather than his goal record. He doesn't graft like Ulloa, Okazaki and Vardy do. This is the expectation of any forward at City and if he can't or won't do it, he isn't going to make it here.
