Looked OK. Generally impressed. Tbh Justin was having a decent game but he looks composed as an option

5 first tier home games without a goal
Edingleyfox replied to squidsworth's topic in Leicester City Forum
Expected goals today 0.22. Just so little pace on the wings and we don’t have midfielders full of goals. Wilf looked the best bet today. We had Vardy on for another 90 plus minutes and no substitutions until 75 mins except for the injury. Yes we looked organised and composed until the last 10 minutes but I just think more flair players need to be risked and changes made much earlier. -
Agree really struggling with forward options. Just a bit worried as Dake came off with an injury and I don’t think Vardy was fit either.Cannon seemingly surplus to requirements. I know the defence has shipped only 1 goal less than bottom club Southampton but the attacking side is not much higher in the standings

Facundo Buonanotte joins on loan - Official
Edingleyfox replied to moore_94's topic in Leicester City Forum
Facundo has a bit of flair and pace. He loses the ball more by taking a few risks but some of the best football this season has been with him in the side. The problem is that so many players struggle to track back or put in tackles whether it be defensively or in midfield. This magnifies individual errors and destroys confidence. I had hoped RVN would have stuck with him with coaching because of late Leicester are creating very little but still conceding -
If we lose Mads and Bilal I can’t see Leicester challenging for promotion. Ask yourself where the creativity leadership and regulati goals are going to come from. The recruitment this year has been so poor overall with little emphasis on potential and over paying for experience. This January window selling off Cannon is hardly helpful.
-
Ultimately Wolves are not going to agree to something that strengthens Leicester being only 2 points clear. I don't know what Dawson is like he used to be decent but I would look at this with suspicion to say the least

Transfer Deadline Day - Prediction Thread
Edingleyfox replied to EnderbyFox's topic in Transfer Talk
I still find the Cannon sale very short sighted particularly if there is no plan B. I can understand that recruitment has been complicated by starting with Enzo then Cooper plus PSR but it all seems so random and apart from Bilal are we any stronger than the team that came up? -
Ruud van Nistelrooy - New Manager - Official
Edingleyfox replied to moore_94's topic in Leicester City Forum
Ruud addressed this post match- clearly he thought at 3 0 there was nothing more he could do. However totally agree that he could have made 2 or 3 changes at half time just to send out a message to players and fans that we need have a go at getting something. I still don't know what has happened with Buonanotte surely he would have been worth a punt he was so good at the start of the season or has his confidence dropped. -
There was so little focus IMO all summer when we lost KDH as a driving box to box midfielder and clearly needed a viable alternative to Jamie up front. Now I’m not sure about any areas of the pitch and I’m not sure that panic buys or loans will do anything except build up debt.
-
He might be OK did well at Boro but guess wages will be high.A younger option for the future going back to our previous recruitment model might be 23 year old 6ft 1 David Strelec the Slovakian that Middlesbrough are rumoured to want if Latte Lath leaves
-
Would prefer a striker or winger. Very worried about an injury to Vardy as Daka only has the one goal this season. I also think wages and loan fees likely to be high and injury record a concern although he is a decent player when fit.
-
In all honesty Leicester will do very well to find a centre back that is going to slot in quickly and vastly improve the side. We already have so much cover in that area snd another addition has to be a significant upgrade. I don’t know anything about the new RB either I’d rather look for either a winger or striker with different attributes. Leicester are creating so few chances and setting up negatively . I’m also concerned if Facundo is out of favour or losing confidence because he looked great initially
-
You really do wonder how much research was done in respect of several summer signings. Very little seems to have changed since summer of 2021 when players were brought in on big fees and contracts and didn’t become regular starters. I suspect the last minute striker signing was based on old information from his Celtic days. If I was the Chairman I really wouldn’t be impressed. Percy’s article is excellent
-
He has potential but it was a surprise because Leicester have so many centre backs although few with youth and pace. If Okoli is sold at a loss it would look very poor . I find it hard to believe how much the club has paid on some of these summer signings either in fees or contracts without significantly strengthening the starting 11 in all areas of the pitch
-
Of course Leicester are not signing 5 players. However, just one game changing striker or right winger I think would vastly improve morale and give us an outside chance. If nothing is planned I do wonder what the point is in selling Cannon for around 10 million less sell on when he could be very useful in the Championship.
-
We need another striker IMO more than anything as we haven’t scored at home in the last 3 Prem games. However he has to be better than what we have or for that matter Cannon who was sold fairly cheaply after deductions. Please not just another back up squad player which has been a recurring theme
-
We seem to be down to Vardy and Daka and we are not packed with goal scoring midfielders either. Jamie is going to be completely burnt out or possibly injured very soon and yet no decent links to anyone coming in just Cannon leaving. In the great escape season we had 4 strikers and I think Kramaric came in too.
-
Surely we have to change things up I think the goals conceded is leading to an ultra cautious approach. Problem is we need a win and 0.26xg isn’t great at home

Comparing this season to 2014/15 Great Escape
Edingleyfox replied to tickler28's topic in Leicester City Forum
Great escape season perhaps expectations were lower. Once Cambiasso got going I think the confidence came back. I think Albrighton who came on a free made a difference when he broke through.We also had 4 strikers with Vardy’s electric pace, Leonardo holding the ball up and great in the air. Chris Wood and David Nugent didn’t get a lot of time but it shows the depth. Defensively we had some weakness but Wes was outstanding. Might be wrong but did we add Huth and Kramaric in the January. Some brilliant focused recruitment in that period not forgetting Mahrez -
Well if he does go I think we do need a striker in ideally now. We rely a ridiculous amount on Jamie playing 90 minutes regularly some sort of injury is almost inevitable
-
I think Ipswich have got real fight ambition and a striker that looks a bargain. At Leicester we have started so many games negatively not risking creative players perhaps from a fear of being too open. I know defensively we are not great but after 5 losses surely we need a change of approach
-
I’m just disappointed that Leicester didn’t make changes earlier or risk playing the same line up as v Man City. Every week there are individual mistakes but we are not creating enough to really expect to win games

Villa (Away) Saturday 4th Jan 3pm (Match Thread)
Edingleyfox replied to tcrofts's topic in Leicester City Forum
Villa are strong physically in midfield whether that is why Ayew is in I don’t know. Really wanted the front 4 from last week as it gives Villa more to worry about -
He looked good going forwards but I remember he struggled against the pace of Fatawu last season. Can’t see Southampton selling to Leicester anyway
-
I would stick with the Man City team. The full backs will need to be careful as Villa have Watkins etc on the break.However changing the set up to be more defensive would be a worry as we need results now and parking the bus won’t work IMO
