The irony is, the reason we destroyed them home and away last season was not because we retained possession extremely well, it was because we exposed them trying to do that and hammered them on the counter attack. This should be right up Cooper's street but I've a feeling that whilst Enzo had Brussell's number and always would, we'll somehow lose easily against this struggling Brussell team.

You're absolutely right. It should only be used as an indicator. We are fortunate we have an excellent shot stopper so I'm not hugely concerned with us having to snuff out chances for the sake of it, that's why I think we should be braver in attack.

Spare a thought for Ghanaian Leicester fans.

He brought Soumare on to play higher up the pitch though and we already have Winks who's a defensive midfielder. Alves or McAteer on the bench over Soumare any day of the week.

International break paradise more like.

Alves instead of Soumare.

I like him, not had a defender as natural or able to block the ball since Wes Morgan.

I'd be fascinated to canvass other views within the game on that but I'm not so sure it's correct. I liken Allen to the old school type of manager who was in control of everything and would not react well to a Director of Football having a media influence within the game. Whilst you don't want that to get in the way of the requirements, neither should such an influential position not require a level of front facing accountability and communication.

We'll be throwing some dough your way too Steve

Just edited it mate, thank you

Apologies once again for no pod this week, we'll be back after the Bournemouth game. I've been working on getting some decent LCFC past and present players lined up for future episodes and may have something in the very near future to look forward to...! Also myself and Jake are running the Leicester Half marathon next Sunday and have set up a fundraising page for the brilliant LAMP charity we represent. If anyone could spare any loose change we'd be so appreciative and/or if anyone will be there on the day to participate or spectate. I know of a few other posters on here.... https://www.justgiving.com/page/ricflair-1726899797911?utm_medium=fundraising&utm_content=page%2Fricflair-1726899797911&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=pfp-share Cheers 💙

The amusing thing for me is the two most hyped up young strikers in Euripe outside of the main leagues were Edouard and Daka in 2021. We now have them both. Could we be about to land on a cheat code or defy science that both are absolutely mingin' ?

U21s are away at Blackburn at 7pm. Awaiting team news. Monga hat-trick

I think Edouard and Daka in a front two will be peak Cooper. Maybe with Ayew in the hole.

This is superb

To be fair people from Derby think parsley in chicken kievs counts as one of your five a day so they'll definitely view this as a global event.

Never known anyone waffle on about the prestige and difficulty of being a Premier League team. This is not to diminish the gulf in class between the standard but it's nowhere near as elite as is made out and I have an inkling that being obsessed with such a view actually hinders what is achievable. Paying far too much respect and being in awe of what it takes coming down from the manager. It's boring Steve and don't patronise us. We've proven as a club what's possible, it won't wash with us pal.

Any idea of the team? A lot of the U16s from last season have already moved up to U18s and even 21s after their PL Cup title achievements.

Hahaha no I found it funny. Maybe Rudkin will engineer thr return of Maddog if Cooper continues to disappoint? 😂

The 35+ against Arsenal have slapped this up, but it was already bad.

If this doesn't improve over the next 4 fixtures then it'll be a scandal.

It's absolutely wild ain't it

Did Rodgers drop him? He was MOTM away at Brentford the game before Rodgers last game. Smith wasn't keen.

Which makes the guff about his box midfield 4 joining the striker to attack in a 5 a load of waffle.

Bring it on.
