Yeah, preaching to the converted bru. Just surprised Frank Bough was a player, he always came across as being like your boring uncle wearing a novelty tie at a family dinner.
We've kept Vardy, Maddison, Ndidi and possibly Soyuncu amidst interest from bigger clubs because they are seen as key to where the club wants to go ... Mahrez was made to play for 2 more seasons after declaring he wanted out before we were prepared to let him go, despite throwing his toys out of the pram ... we don't need the money and hence my point ... we won't sell unless we are happy that we have cover or even have a better player lined up to bring in. Fofana will be with us for a good couple of seasons at least. Reason Rodgers came in was the commitment to retain players he wants, invest in young talent and push for Europe on a consistent basis... so far so good
And they sold Maguire to united as well, so even their mediocre players want to make a sideways move.
I remember when you said Musa was the most exciting attacking signing of the summer cos he scored in a friendly
Maddison and Ndidi attracted plenty of interest (before signing contract extensions) ... possibly Soyuncu too if rumours are to be believed.
he was my uncle, the hard core religious side of my family were very proud of that fact, then, for some reason, he was never spoken of again.
He scored twice against Barca and ran them ragged in that pre-season tournament ... he looked the biz, another Vardy ... just goes to show ... he was no Ricky Lambert mind
Wumming aside for the moment ... the sale of Maguire was seen as good business by most Leicester fans... as were the sales of Drinkwater and Chilwell ... the sale of Kante was not ... and Mahrez upset many with his attitude (not me - he was a key component of a title winning side so owed us nothing) ... We have a very exciting young squad capable of giving anyone a game on their day ... light years from the yoyo teams of our modern history ... fine time to be a Leicester City fan, Covid aside
As a means to an end it was acceptable, but parking 10 players behind the ball last night wasn't a great look. Tactically it's as old as the hills and if you want to progress, at some point you'll need to be able to go toe to toe with the best and still come out on top...nice to dream anyway
You mean like going to Citeh and putting 5 past them? ... OK ... I'll text Brenda and ask him to work on it ... might have approached it differently with a fully fit Vardy tbf ...
Without Vardy though, you were rather toothless. Not having a go, just saying it as I see it. Looking forward to an interesting game next Monday when you come to Leeds. Tactically you're our worst nightmare but hopefully we get the first goal and then it will be game on
It’s a valid tactic I know you are trying to justify your teams Gung Ho approach...like that’s what the world craves but for me there is nothing better than someone with a plan and then carrying that plan out to perfection and doing a job on someone. It might be to the annoyance of the snotty nosed fan but it’s football nonetheless. and before you try to say I’m saying this because of Jose’s mythical bus he drove in Manchester....we are leading goal scorers in the PL so far
Very much agree it's a valid tactic. It was a mixture of painful and intriguing to watch Arsenal stuggle last night, repeatedly going sideways and backwards until they ran out of ideas and virtually gave up. The game these days has too many midfielders who have zero creativity but yet are lauded as brilliant because they can recycle possession a thousand times.
True ... and that's a problem ... him and Barnes are starting to click and Under was good last night ... that cross was a peach ... Demarai Gray would have shot (and missed) ... but without Vardy we lack that clinical finishing With a fully fit Vardy in the team we can give anyone a game ... another clinical finisher in January is a priority.
