Team I would play Schmeichel De Laet Moore Morgan Konchesky Cambiasso Drinkwater King Mahrez Schlupp Ulloa
Cambiasso will have to wait his turn just like Drinkwater. I would however be tempted to bring DD back in for Hammond (harsh I know on him) but no room for sentiment
Can't quite believe people are suggesting Schlupp should be dropped. Who'd have thought that our first games in the Premier League would feature 3 of our academy products? The only changes I would make would be Vardy for Nugent and either Drinkwater or Cambiasso for Hammond, not that he's really done much wrong either. What does Nugent have against playing in the Premier League? He's looked a right donkey so far!
Personally I think he's just trying to hard to get his first goal, he's probably thinking about scoring instead of just doing it naturally (if that makes sense!!) For example, why did he look at the linesman, when bearing down on goal at Chelsea, by the time he'd done that Courtois was bearing down on him and, I think, he sort of rushed his shot, last season he would have calmly rounded the keeper and buried it. Once he scores one, he'll relax and be fine.
Yeah, I think you're probably right. Ulloa, on the other hand, has just looked so relaxed about it, barring that shot into the side netting against Arsenal. I love how he just plays with a big smile on his face, him and Nugent have to be the smiliest strike partnership! Nugent often seems to start the season off poorly, so I'm confident he will come good, although I do think that Vardy should eventually take his place.
Schmeichel De Laet Moore Morgan Konchesky Mahrez King Drinkwater Schlupp Vardy Ulloa Subs: Hamer, Wasileski, Cambiasso, Nugent, Albrighton, James & Simpson. No need to change too much. Drinkwater can now return and I think Vardy will be brought in. Cambiasso probably still need to wait another game or two before he'll start.
Harsh but we need to start winning games, or at least giving ourselves the best chance of doing so, and DD was our main man last season and looked good when he returned last week. Plus the international break kinda takes some momentum away. So id put DD in for Hammond - equal to how much hammond doesnt deserve it, DD does deserve to return after his performances and ultimately is better and hammond should accept that.
Ultimately this could be where we end up ... Schmeichel de Laet Moore Morgan Konchesky Schlupp Drinkwater Cambiasso Mahrez Powell Ulloa ... with Vardy coming off the bench either for Schlupp or Powell ... loads of options
