Not heard of any injuries so full squad should be available ...

We need to win games now - 4 wins on the bounce would mean 12 points and probably out of the relegation zone - four draws (and that's optimistic <laugh>) and we will still be bottom ... please think that through Nigel!

For me it is now a question of picking players in form, eradicating the liabilities but with the emphasis having to be on attack and chance creation / hopefully conversions

Here is what I'd love to see:

----------------------- Hamer -----------------
de Laet--------Upson--- Wasyl--- Huth -------Schlupp
------------------Cambiasso-------James------------------
---------------------------Mahrez--------------------------
-------------Ulloa-----------------------Kramaric------

Here is what I fear I'll get

----------------------- Schwarzer -------------
Simpson --------Upson--- Morgan--- Huth -------Konchesky
-------------------------- Cambiasso--------------------
-----------Mahrez---------James-----------Schlupp
-------------------------Kramaric--------------------------------
 
-------------------------- Hamer -----------------------------
Simpson------Upson---Huth--- Wasyl-------De Laet
----------------Cambiasso-----James--------------------
---------Kramaric----------------Mahrez-----------------
--------------------------Ulloa-------------------------------
 
Hamer
Albrighton - Wasilewski - Huth - Upson - Schlupp
Cambiasso - James
Mahrez
Ulloa - Kramaric

But it'll never happen, not in a million years! Simpson and Konchesky are useless in a 5 in my opinion, as the wing backs need to attack! Cambiasso and James can sit back if necessary, a wing back has to be an attacking option. Could easily swap Albrighton for De Laet, but I'd go with Albrighton for the delivery.

... not sure why you'd leave Schlupp out ... given the number of assists and goals he has????
 
Hamer
De Laet Wasilewski Huth Konchesky
Cambiasso Hammond James
Mahrez Kramaric Schlupp​
 
Obviously we're unanimous in resting Morgan so:

Hamer
De Laet Wasilewski Huth Upson Konch
Cambiasso James
Nugent. Schlupp
Kramaric

Subs. Schwarzer Mahrez Hammond Albrighton Moore Vardy Ulloa

I'd give Nuge a run out because of his work rate and ability to link up play and bring on Albrighton on the hour if Krammy isn't getting service.
 
Hamer
De Laet Moore Upson Schlupp
Albrighton James Cambiasso
Mahrez
Kramaric Ulloa​

and we've as much chance of seeing this team as I have of bedding Rachel Riley!
 
As i posted on another thread:

Hamer

Albrighton

Was
Huth
Upson

Schlupp

Cambiasso
James

Mahrez

Ulloa
Kramaric

Gives us service from albrighton, schlupp gives us pace, Mahrez is allowed to be a threat. solid 2 in midfield (and a back 3 behind them), Karamaric is supported...

And if Mahrez is no better than against Villa then ffs take him off at half time!

I think his performances have been dropping recently and he could do with a rest. I wouldn't play him as a fullback because I think he's a liability defensively at this level even as part of a back five. I think Simpson and De Laet are a better compromise, though neither are as big a threat. Eventually I'd like to see us go back to 4-4-2 with Schlupp returned to the team, but for this run of away games i think we'll stick with the 5-4-1.

Yep, the only way of getting out of the bottom 3 is attack, attack, attack with Ulloa and Kramaric heading a 4-4-2. We can't do any worse than we have been and only ever seem to win when playing 4-4-2, whether home or away.
 
Should be the team below:

Hamer
Wes Huth Upson
Simpson --------------------- Konchesky
Cambiasso James
Mahrez --------------------- Schlupp
Kramaric​

i can't see him having 2 strikers against Everton.

Kramaric looks a real player but he is not a lone striker. Vardy is well suited to the chasing around aspect of this role so he could play until we go 2 down, Pearson changes things and we then start to play well!!!
