I believe it does and probably stricter although like here clubs like Bayern Munich will have a superior income to Düsseldorf therefore will continue to dominate. The 1 club and league I can’t understand how they get away with it is the French league and PSG, at 1 point they had Messi, Naymar, Mbappe all on €1m pwk then the likes of Di Maria, Ramos, Donnaruma, + a plethora of other top players there wasn’t a player on less than €500k pwk in that side….just how 🤷‍♂️

Keh? Would / does the xG computer mark it that way, the ball is on the halfway line does it make preference to 1 side over the other when player and ball are stood on the same spot when either player has the ball? You would assume given 1 has the ball it’s 0.01 more to the side with possession ergo the 2 second before it’s taken from Page our teams xG would be 0.01 higher from the halfway line then it’s taken that would flick to 0.01 to opposition or does it read its Leicester therefore It’ll make it 0.08?

Although whilst we haven’t sold Golding yet we could potentially sell for more than €5m in the future who knows how things will pan out, 5m means we sold KDH for 35m€ anything more let’s say it’s €10m then would people say we sold KDH for €40m and say good job? How much do we want for KDH? We sold for higher than MV minus Goldings fee so MV, interestingly his MV dropped lower after his disappointing Chelsea stint but back to what we sold him at. I get MV is a baseline and of course he would go now for more than that but that would also be attributed to other factors. Why is KDH always brought up to hit this lad?

He lost possession on the halfway line 54yrds from their goal line ‘hence the hullabaloo about their goal after driving from our penalty box, what was the xG on them scoring from that point? He continued to drive further forward, the error was decision making in not making a pass to the right to Burns before he got tackled nothing to do with possession based play out from the back football.

I think they are in the transfer rumours thread…I mean how does anyone who sits at home and goes out to their job which isn’t at Seagrave confidently say he’s ‘x’ standard at best without ever seeing him in snr football 🤷‍♂️

I know people like to mock but he’s 20 and never been out on loan in men’s football, this will be good for him and who knows he could come back after a season like Braybrooke did in Lge 2

Reading the following passage from a report on the Ipswich game and around the goals, namely the 3rd and Page’s mistake made me think of the bits overlooked by his haters & the importance of what he’s like with the players, not our perception of him. I made a comment the other day suggesting that whilst he gets dogs abuse from fans about his style and this perceived ‘it’s all about me’ persona, I bet the players love his management style, they want to have the ball, they want to take risks & they want to be coached. I know the reply’s will be flooded with just wait until he’s under pressure and starts calling out the players but let’s wait until we see what’s said and why, we have a thread on virtually every player after a game mostly slating & then you come into this thread and slate him for not calling the players out 🤷‍♂️ Anyway as it’s about Louis and the fact most fans would rather he stayed with us have a read and then put yourself in Louis’s shows and think how it made him feel. ”Playing as the progressive defensive midfielder in City's system also carries risk. For Marcelino Nunez's second goal from the halfway line, Page turned in the middle of Leicester's half under pressure and drove into space, before making the wrong decision and giving the ball away. "The last one, Louis' turn was so good in the first action, then he's a bit tired," Martin said when discussing Ipswich's three goals. "He was so disappointed, I said to him, 'mate, when you play like that, I will accept, when the intention is good and a mistake every now and again." We as fans just see a mistake and start to blame, during the game after it happened people were defending Page and slating Martins style for the error or the keeper but it was Page’s error simple as but Martin will continue to encourage him to do it again.

I think the boring part is when the opposition don’t bite therefore there are more sideways-backward passes to try and goad them in, then ultimately it’s the speed of which a team breaks once you have beaten that press. A perfectly executed attempt could be a thing of beauty, couple of passes, draw the press, pass into the midfield beat the press, drive up field out to winger who cuts it back to midfielder on the edge of the box and goal all under a minute, it’s the 2nd part we need to nail whilst obviously upgrading who starts the set. Do that and your lorded get it wrong and your slated but there are more teams than people think, & in the lower leagues, that play the possession & out from the back game it’s not just a few managers.

Will the papers be full of remarks about Jack Wilshire & why he continues to have his team play out from the back I wonder?

Chelsea are considering a move for Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, they certainly need a keeper. I know Villa signed a new keeper recently but with all the out goings & how down Emery looked after the game at the w/end i wonder if he is fully onboard still. He's been there 4yrs now & has he got the will to start a project with Villa again.

fee aside he'll end up being their next Chris Wood, you look at him & think he's a Forest type player & will do well there. Could see him at Spurs also

What do the players think of playing a possession game, I’d wager that everyone of them loves it, it’s what they play for, to have the ball and build with it instead of chasing it. Every player I’ve heard talk about playing in teams where the manager plays a possession based game from Pep down to Jim McNulty at Stockport County speak of the joy of playing and training in this way. Would Howell, Watson or McFarlane be here if we didn’t play this way & i’m sure our own young players prefer it also. Also because it gets talked about so much & seems to be most people’s thoughts of the root of all evil ‘playing out from the back’ how many goals have we actually conceded as a direct result of keeper to defender and back again, I can think of only Woyo last night so far this season & I bet out of all those goals last season you could count on a single hand also. Everybody mentions the risk, even at Man C, Liverpool, Arsenal etc but the amount of goals conceded as a direct result is probably actually very minimal but because you look foolish when it happens and commentary go on about when it happens is the perception of it happening ALL the time actually clouded🤷‍♂️ The issue is the speed it’s done to get it up the field, crack that and the pros out way the 1 major con. Disclaimer This is a generalisation of playing this way not a stick up for RM post

He probably hasn’t played him due to the noise around him + how it has maybe affected him personally? Playing him last night could have been because he or the noise has settled down or a last shop window show to Man U to put up or shut up. If RM is bigging him up i’m sure he’ll be using him and if that’s in place of Skipp whilst he’s out then it’s down to Page to make sure he stays in the starting 11

Why having a go at Stol that was on Page not releasing Burns down the right and going straight into trouble

Would Walker have played that ball Woyo did in a Pep Man C side? Not everything is on a manager

You missed out Bobby’s header 🤷‍♂️

Freddie Burns back at the club as kicking coach

£1.5m-rated Abdulmalik asks to leave Boreham Wood - Did someone link us to him at the start of the transfer window? I know it was a Swedish club that offered £1m which was rejected, maybe now with him wanting out they will take that & he will become the new Vardy?

@Footballwipe @Foxdiamond Great Grandad signing up at that time in Leicester you would assume it would most certainly have been the Leicestershire Regiment (The Tigers & yes where our rugby team got its nickname) that he joined. The regiment got its Royal title after WW2 1946 - Royal Leicestershire Regiment which then amalgamated with the East Anglian Regiment in 1964 to form the Royal Anglian Regiment, which is when the army really started to break up local regiments. For awhile the Leicester guys formed 4 Battalion Royal Anglian Regiment keeping the nickname The Tigers before more cuts reduced & merged the Battalions further with the 2nd Battalion Royal Anglians taking guys in mainly from Leicestershire, Norfolk, Suffolk. Today the Regiments split into 1 Battalion - The Vikings 2 Battalion - The Poachers 3 Battalion - The Steelbacks a reserve army Keeping traditions going B Company 2nd Battalion (internally known as Royal Leicestershire Company) keeps the Company nickname as The Tigers despite the Battalion nickname. There's a good chance your Grandad would have joined the Leicestershire Regiment if he also joined in Leicester prior to WW2, i know they fought in Burma as i had relatives captured by the Japanese there also. You should be able to start a search on ancestry military records using their names & Leicestershire Regiment (&/or maybe add Royal for your Grandad if he stayed in for that year after WW2) Good luck.

The usual middle lane hoggers on the motorway, enoughs enough it’s about time the government put out a pamphlet to tell people to keep left unless overtaking, that should stop it.

I would like to say not a chance they sign a 36yr old who hasn’t played a minute since the end of the 24/25 season but.. Nah can’t see it, if we/RM linked to John S then it’ll be John S, RM would have went in to the boardroom at 18:00hrs Saturday and said just pay them I need a CB. He has said the CB position would be a permanent signing thou

RM suggesting we could see 3 or 4 more recruits before the end of the window with potentially a CB by the Ipswich game. Would assume the CB would be big brother John 🤷‍♂️

I hope he don’t think he’s going to go there to be a 1st team player this or maybe the next few seasons.

Coventry history makers Coventry's unwanted stat Coventry became the first team to have no touches in the opposition box or make a tackle in the first half of a Premier League game, since Opta started collecting that data in 2007. They eventually made their first tackle on 69 minutes - when they were 3-0 down. & pundits still saying they played well 😂

Postponed due to travel disruption apparently
