Now it really is back in our hands Schlupp

So we got a win Schlupp and everyone played well Schlupp.
The team dug in Schlupp and players like Dyer(no final product) did their job outstanding Courage for Wood to step up Schlupp and take the penalty.
Listening from 3000 miles away Youngy had me in tears Schlupp.
Manly midfield for a change Schlupp

so we got to palace where we get FA Schlupp lets hope we can do what Claridge did to palece Schlupp.

I mean no one wrote off our young prodigy i mean that would be pathetic i mean hes only scored two goals in two games i mean if he had played for us instead of Man utd

Ahh, I'm glad we still have something to argue about.

Schlupp's played very well over the last few games and looked like a genuine attacking threat. There are still some things he has to work on - awareness of what's going on around him on the pitch for one, as well as "strikers' goals" - the ones where he slots away a one-on-one or poaches in the box. But over the last few matches we've seen the kind of pace and physicality that scares defences, we've seen confidence and a will to win, and we've seen flashes of skill - not least his volley last night. What we've seen is potential, and far more of it than we've seen before from him in this league, as a striker at least. At the moment, I don't think he's as good in general as Nugent or Wood. However, I'd still play him over both of them because of his current form and the impact he's had.

Incidentally, he looks a different player as a striker since he came back from Man Utd, so perhaps the experience has done him a lot of good?

It's why we are here Dung.

My view is Schlupp is raw talent and has something if the manager of Man utd takes him on loan!
Comparing him to some of plyers who have been hanging around Waghorn can't even make the squad at the moment.

I'm ire was rasied by the Pearsonites writing him off in defence of their deity.

However we got here we have the standard Leicester hope that will probably get dashed against the rocks of Palace on Saturday.

"I'm ire was rasied by the Pearsonites writing him off in defence of their deity."

Are you a journalist or a politician, never heard such pathetic boll**cks!!

Keep making it up to suit your own thinking why don't you.

Nev, I can't remember many (if any) writing him off. I remember people being surprised that he'd gone to Man Utd on loan for whatever reason because he hadn't shown anything to suggest that he could get into their side. The best theory I can see remains that he was sent there for some sort of intensive coaching or assessment, and to aid his development. If that was the case, it appears to be working.

I suppose I am a Pearsonite, although I've never written him off. I don't like writing players off in general. Except Futacs. And Vardy. And it looks increasingly like I'll have to add Waghorn to that list as well if he can't even get onto the subs bench over Jamie Vardy. (Why is he still in matchday squads?)

Dung your not a rabid Pearsonite.
Vardy's on the bench because nigel signed him.

without getting another hail of fire second season vardy might do better. A lot of players take a season to settle in.

I've not written Vardy or Waghorn off yet.

Just Futacs.

Talking about possible over rated players, anyone know how Knockaert did last night, I personally didn't think it'd be his type of game!

He did OK. All the team did.

On to Palace!

Knockaert tried hard. However, he has gone downhill as the season's gone on - mostly because he seems to want to take someone on every time he gets the ball. He'd be better off playing one-touch football and using his creativity more; we know he's got it, so it's a little frustrating that he's trying to play Lloyd Dyer's game and just trying to outpace the opposition.

I actually think Knocky had one of his better games, he was a constant nuisance to Bolton and they were clearly worried about him when he ran at them, yes he did and does run into brick walls at times but whilst he's concerning the opposition with his trickery it opens other areas on the pitch, agreed though he is not showing the same form he was earlier this season.
