    Comparing Cattermole to Cambiasso is like comparing
    Frankel to Muffin the Mule!

    Source?

    Not good if true. That and the fact we will likely only need a draw could lead to a defensive line-up.

    Just pain inject them its fine!

    In all seriousness if we swap ulloa for wood (worst case) im not sure that we are THAT much worse off - ulloa never seems to do a lot but does score a bit!

    ... not meaning to have a go tonight ed, honestly buddy <laugh> ... but I think Ulloa not only had a hand in both goals on Saturday but was equally good in defending set-pieces ... as he has been for most of the season <laugh>

    Ulloa is the best and probably only defensive striker in the Premier League!

    Drogba was also pretty good in that regard in his pomp ...

    dont get me wrong, i think he is an important player for us, but i dont think that he *does* a lot. I know what i am trying to say but im struggling. Whilst i rate him, i do think he is more replaceable than the likes of cambiasso, huth, schmeichel, vardy, schlupp and albrighton

    I don't think he catches the eye like Mahrez, Vardy and Schlupp do, but he works very hard, often in thankless roles. He's also scored the same as those three combined!

    ... wouldn't disagree ... but it's a good mix ... I also expect Kramaric to come into his own next season if we stay up ...

    I guess its more about who can come in in terms of 'replaceability' factor is what i am getting at. People like Cambiasso, Huth and all those mentioned above i think are a big part of how we play, and whilst ulloa also is i feel is one of the more 'replaceable' members of the 1st XI atm.

    Cambiasso is replaceable. If he goes, we'll just go in for Cattermole instead. <whistle>

    Kramaric to start then maybe? think he'd suit this formation better because he wont haveto come so deep to get the ball, could cause confusion by interchanging with Mahrez.

    I expect to see the same team. It will take a lot to keep players out of a game li,e this. Vardy will have another injection and Ulloa will be fine hopefully, so same line up again apart from James.

    Vardy has been injured for some time now but has been playing with pain killing injections. Its taking his toll on him as you can see him at full time he kept even walk off the pitch and is being carried off by the team.

    At the minute things are bit like last season where if someone came out of the team the replacement came in and did just aswell if not better

    If Ulloa or Vardy along with Nugent don't make saturday then its Kramaric's big chance to shine.

    As expected Matty James is out but the good news is Andy King could make the game

    Let's hope so, although Drinkwater has been decent when called upon, but King adds a bit more bite in the midfield, which I think we're going to need. Wouldn't be that surprised if Pearson goes defensive and plays all three!

    If Sunderland beat Leicester would they go above them in the form table.

    I never look at them, unless someone posts them on here, but it would be interesting.
