Hasn't El Khannouss started more games than Winks and Faes combined?

We live in hope that he doesn't

There will be pressures on Marti to include them because they're being paid so much. I'd be very surprised if Marti were to lose a second of sleep if they were both released tonight.

Sounds like it went very peacefully barring a few idiots trying to get past a Police cordon. But also it doesn't look like there was anywhere near as many people as Stephen Yaxley-Lennon thought there would be. Most estimates were at around the 100k mark, a long way short of the 3 million "Tommy" claimed there was.

That is shambolic marking.

I don't think so. Winks is clearly the best midfielder at the club yet Marti hasn't started him. The same with Faes being the best defender. He doesn't want mercenaries in his squad and nor do I.

It's a contact sport. That "push" wouldn't knock over a toddler.

I really don't care. Sick of having a squad of mercenaries.

What is insane about it is that the West Ham defender has both arms over Van De Ven's shoulders meaning he can't jump off the floor. If there's any foul in there it should be for a Spurs penalty.

Game is so gone. How the hell cn that be a foul? If you're a defender you might as well just fall over in your own box because you'll get a freekick for it.

Shouldn't be in the team. I don't care if he's Cristiano Ronaldo he's spent all summer with his bottom lip out trying to force a move out.

Big game this, could go either way but a great opportunity to lay down a statement win. For me: Stolarcyzk Ricardo Okoli Vestergaard Thomas Fatawu James Skipp Monga Carranza Ayew

Ramsey owes his teammates a big apology. Ricardo and James have to start against Coventry. Monga too.

I think Big John would beat him in a sprint after one of his signature chinese takeaways.

James looks light years ahead of Soumare.

I'd be beyond gutted if that was given against us.

I'd like you to list these reasons because I don't think they're obvious at all. He's slow, no strength, no positional awareness, can't dribble the ball, can't pass, can't shoot, can't control the ball, is constantly offside and has the football IQ of a turnip.

Exactly? Can't exactly counter effectively when the striker can't trap a bag of cement. Get someone who you can play off. With Daka you can guarantee that we'll consistently lose the ball.

If he's a target man and someone that can hold the ball then why wouldn't you play him now? I think it's mental that Daka has come on ahead of a striker like that.

I'm sure that this new keeper will be playing before long. Stolarcyzk simply cannot kick the ball.

Some glaring holes in this team in terms of quality. The likes of Thomas, Skipp and Okoli are extraordinarily average.

You're setting yourself up to get annoyed if you really think he's going to be building the team around teenagers mate. There is not a single manager in the world that would do that. Monga, Page, Aluko, Evans etc will all probably get considerable game time. I would expect that Leicester will have the highest number of minutes played by teenagers by the end of the season by a considerable distance.

But all we've seen so far from Marti is that he's happy to chuck the kids in. Does that really go out of the window if he chooses to bring on experience to close out a game where we're down to 10?

It's a 46 game season. There will be times where the experience of the likes of Reid will be invaluable and there will times where the youthful exuberance of Monga/Page etc will win us games. Winks and Faes shouldn't be playing because they've spent the summer trying to get out of the club but I accept there will be pressures on Marti because they'll be earning 150k a week between them. Marti has shown that he's here to provide a direct link between the academy and the 1st team. Not sure how you could claim otherwise.

The change to 4-3-2 has worked. Split strikers are causing problems. Would like to see 20 minutes of Carranza.
