I’ll take one out-and-out number 9 that isn’t good enough to replace Vardy in a lone striker system please, Mr. Rudkin. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okazaki, though our best match with Vardy, can't get the assists/goals needed. Should've been done the summer before. We've made near enough the exact same mistake with the Iheanacho signing as we did the Slimani signing. Can't wait for us to sign Javier Hernandez and play him at number ten.

Dan LCFC Posted 20 March 2018 Share Posted 20 March 2018 Okazaki's goals have badly dried up again. 1 goal in 20 they said earlier. He scored a few early doors but that's a pretty poor effort. Definitely think he should be starting but I do wish he contributed a few more goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not checked recently but earlier on in the season Okazaki's shots per 90 figure was higher than Vardys. If we can sign an attacking midfielder that score or so goals and assist the same amount it would drastically reduce the impact of replacing Mahrez with a slightly lesser player.

Mahrez isn't, Gray isn't, Diabate isn't. Okazaki is the only one in the entire squad and he's the most unconventional number 10 I've ever seen. We seem utterly unable to work out how not to depend on the “Leicester 10” role, which is not only not Nacho, it is not anybody alive except Shinji.

Tbh I think that Salami could have done a job for us ... not in the Shinji role but as an upgrade on Ulloa, who always put in a shift and offered something different when he came on. There was probably more to it behind the scenes however as to why he was moved on ... shame imo ... although I'm sure that many will disagree .. Nacho ... just can't see it I'm afraid and, with no disrespect to CP (who I think is doing a cracking job), can't help thinking we would be through to the semis if Shinji had started. And NO !! ...

st albans fox Posted 20 March 2018 Share Posted 20 March 2018 if we somehow manage to get enough wins to secure 7th, we will need an alternative europa league attack which could have kelechi up top. that will keep him much busier than this season!

He doesn't have the effect he once did. I wouldn't replace him (I love the guy) but we could do with an alternative. Might get ridiculed for this but I've always thought that Jay Rodriguez would be a decent alternative to Shinji. Rodriguez often plays as a deep forward and is good at keeping defenders busy. He is more physical than Shinji too. Think he could play that role quite effectively and is a decent finisher. Got an annoying face though admittedly.

richardsfoxes Posted 21 March 2018 Share Posted 21 March 2018 He would probably be good if he was actually match fit, the pass he did to Mahrez was criminal and simply down to being out of breathe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll struggle to find a dumber premier league player. ........ A tad bit of overkill!! I can understand your frustrations but your post is harsh and totally shows a complete disrespect to the player. The club seem to have taken a policy of buying players believing that they would add value and improve our team. The fact that the manager has not asked for the player but instructed to make the player integrate within the team really does a disservice to the player, the team and the incumbent manager. Slimani was brought in to replace Vardy, Vardy stayed which left Slimani to try to fit into a team in a position that he is not suited to. Nacho brought in at a price, with a believe that we were getting a very good player who would develope to become a potential world class player. The fact that he does not suit the role he is given and needs to be in Vardys' position on the pitch in order to produce what is required of him appears to be overlooked. The reason he seems unable to perform is that an understanding of the role he is asked to play is totally foreign to him and I suspect he is probably despondent with what he has been asked to do. If you could imagine Harry Kane playing on the wing (see N. Pearson) game after game, you would get the same feeling of frustration and seriously question how he has managed to get into a Premiership team and promoting him as a Championship player. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxes21 Posted 21 March 2018 Share Posted 21 March 2018 Saw on Alex Iwobi’s snapchat him and Iheanacho were having a midnight feast of pringles and burgers. No wonder they’re both muck. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that we are moving into having the ball more, he is no longer an essential name on the team sheet imo. We need someone that can score and pass playing there.

We need someone who can receive the ball to feet, control it effectively on the turn and also floats around picking up different positions in between the lines. But he also needs to work hard and get in the box. I think Diabate deserves a shot in the position. Totally agree with you, plays well when he comes off the bench must start for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
