Guest rusty747 Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 I think that, for all his intelligence and positioning, Barry had his shortcomings brutally exposed against Liverpool. An on song McCarthy will be a big miss for any game and it's not fair on Gana to effectively have him do the sprinting for himself and Barry. Factor in an unsettled back four, questions over which dodgy 'keeper will play, our only game changing winger long term crocked and a centre forward who can trap the ball further than I can kick it - and we could be onto a spanking. That said, it would be just like Everton to click for one game and win 0-4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 If Barry plays we have to sit deep and counter. We can't play an open game and expect him to get from box to box. We haven't got anything to lose so get Davies in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gueye has been a revelation but no side is a one man team, if we are going to boot it out ofdefence and hope it sticks further forward then lukaku needs some velcro boots and valencia needs a velcro lid.

Guest rusty747 Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 Thinking about this, I would play Davies in midfield. I understand what you are getting at but it is a difficult call. Ideally we would introduce Davies gradually and into games that have already been won and give him 15 minutes or so. Do it that way and he can come in, relax, enjoy his football cameo and show us what he can do. But to bring him in with almost no prior premier league experience and expect him to reinvigorate a struggling team may well place an unfair burden on him and damage his own progress. No easy solution I am afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 But there's no pressure, he cant possibly be any worse than what we uav at the moment. Come in and play your game knowing that the only way is up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 I'd have liked to have seen him get a few appearances from the bench before throwing him in properly. He cannot possibly be more useless than Cleverley! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shy_Talk Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 Just what we need, a performance from a youth product against a flatlining leicester side so we can herald him the next saviour of the club. Lets get him built up as quickly as we can so the fall is all the harder eh. Ah well, Calvert-Lewis next...... Bailey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why every young player should be carefully shoehorned in over several months. Some thrive on being thrown in the deep end.

Players like Owen and Rooney did ok as is rashford and Deli. It builds character giving them opportunities. We're to weak as a club to risk it.

Gwlad Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 (edited) I don't see the reason for letting young talent in easily. Let them have the chance to show what they can do. At the moment we need any new impetus. Maybe shake up the predictable line up Edited December 26, 2016 by Gwlad all over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shy_Talk Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 Can't believe Vardys ban what has the game come to? Its because both feet were thrown in (uncontrolled although not together ala Naismith attack) and the foot used to challenge for the ball was studs showing, so the red in my book was upheld for potentially dangerous and out of control challenge. He'd have been better off allowing himself to be bundled over and throwing a couple of klinsman rolls into the mix and make the ref make a choice instead. But thats 20 20 hindsight kicking in.

Both feet wern't thrown in though. Its a yellow card, never a red. I can see why the ref has sent him off with his inability to watch a replay, but here is no way for me that is a red card and the FA shouldn't have upheld the ban. At least it swings in our favor. 5 at the back, surprising line up. Good to see Holgate in there and Davies on the bench. Also interesting hes picked Holgate over Jags.

chalkpie Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 (edited) Is this a 3-4-3? Edited December 26, 2016 by chalkpie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newty82 Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 Yet to be impressed by this 3-4-2-1 or 5-2-2-1....however you like to play it!!! Always seems like the gap between the front 3 and the rest is too big. Ends up looking like a 7-2-1!!! I'm not sure why we appear to go so negative away from home. Anyway...Leicester are missing some key players (which makes our starting formation more confusing!), so we have a good chance here. Holgate getting a go is very pleasing. And young Davies being on the bench is a plus. Hope you all had a great Christmas. Enjoy the game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
