Why no Drinkwater?

Definitely would drop King and Amartey if we have other options available. Likewise if Schmeichel has at least one working leg I'd drop Zieler too....

Yeah...he was awful today wasn't he. We would have won 8-0 if Schmeichel was in goal.

 

[Jeff]

Time to try Amartey in central defence. It's his proper position, and he can't be any worse than the two who've played there all season.

I doubt it.

He's still a bit shit though

 

[Blaarev]

Since we have already won the group, this might be a chance to experiment a bit.

He's not great, no. But some people seem to think he's the sole reason as to why we have been shit recently, and that it will all magically change when Kasper comes back in.

I'd go with:

Zieler

Albrighton
Hernandez
Morgan
Amartey
Schlupp

Drinkwater
Mendy

Gray

Okazaki
Slimani


Albrighton and Schlupp as wing backs. Gray behind Shinji and Slim.

Oh yeah, he's not banned from this , He can play alongside Mendy then and James can have a massage.

I wouldn't be against that either.

I'd hope that Vardy doesn't see the pitch again for a month.

Ranieri needs to select his team for the Man City game first and then pick eleven different players for this.

Drinkwater and Mendy must start and Morgan and Huth shouldn't even travel.

So you wouldn't play Drinkwater against Man City? Have I read that right?!

I don't think he's the sole reason we've been shit. But he's one of them...

Kasper is far far better and it will be one step towards being less shit when he's back.

Forgot about Mendy. Put him in there instead of Mahrez. And Gray or Musa instead of Vardy

 

[Blaarev]

So you wouldn't play Drinkwater against Man City? Have I read that right?!

Correct. Because he's suspended.

 

[City Fan]

Correct. Because he's suspended.

Oh yeah. Whoops.

I was going to ignore this but you're obviously so ****ing incapable of reading things correctly it needs pointing out to you without any ambiguity whatsoever.

Not one post I've seen anywhere on this forum has blamed only Zieler for how shite things have been this season. You've taken it upon yourself to defend him at every opportunity and, although this may be admirable, it doesn't make anyone else's opinion of one player any the less valid does it?

Ironically, the only one who keeps singling him out is you for some bizarre reason. It's almost an obsession. If he is criticised it is because he has been crap; just as crap as the rest of them no doubt but crap nonetheless.

Do you get it yet? Just in case you haven't I will try to make it plain to you in one sentence:

Zieler is a bit of a shit keeper and this is ONE of the reasons some of our results have been questionable.

Let me know if that isn't plain enough and I'll draw you a ****ing diagram. For the record I though he was okay today and didn't make any real telling errors but that doesn't erase the shite we've seen beforehand.

Let's pretend I'm blaming someone else for our whole season if that makes you feel better. Erm... Andy King was shit today wasn't he? Let's blame the excrement we've seen so far this season on him instead.
