You'll do well to remember that when people are sympathetic to this horse muck that we are a supposed work in progress, nearly every one of these players has played Premier League football. This is not a new era rebuild. It's the same shit as before and they're failing us which the manager is too naive to realise. Kiffuentes, you're on borrowed time if you keep this up.
-
Hopefully based on the criteria he applied to Nelson, Faes never plays again for us, to go with Vestergaard and Okoli's performances at Preston. We're on to Kevon Gray and Aluko now.

Left footed CBs are like rocking horse shit as well so I really hope he makes it here. That said Nelson is equally as good off his left peg as he is his right and Marti ain't bothered so here we are. -
No I don't, not unless that's how a manager is going to run things. Every poor performance equals being dropped and you're only as good as your last game. Plus, any manager will tell you that player development requires patience and learning on the job in the team but at the same time it's not a charity. Vestergaard and Okoli should have been treated like Nelson after Preston away and even 1st half vs Sheffield Wednesday but it's not a healthy way of building consistency either.

Then his brief is flawed for the long term strategy of this club. The club gave tried to pedal this new era and rebuild with a golden generation of academy talent with a manager with a track record for doing it. There's always a balancing act but if there's one case that needed focusing on it was Nelson. A) he has the experience at this level already and has excelled on every loan move. He also looked more than ready two years ago under Enzo and B) with less than two years on his deal we need to protect his worth. It's such an easy one as well. A good season under us equals a new contract and a player that will be worth £30-40m and talked about for England. I am not having the excuses on this one. Fair enough on Louis Page at 17 and Aluko but not Nelson, people can fcuk right off with this excuse.
-
Big game this is. Anything but a win and it's a fairly mediocre / poor start to the season. But a win will not be easy so that highlights how consistent we've got to be. We've been extremely unconvincing away from home, something thats been said about Cifuentes's teams in the past. Hopefully with our squad he has the ability to change that.
-
It used to be that our players were lining up to get injured when we first moved to Seagrave, now it seems that if you get loaned away from Seagrave you're in for a bad injury. Nelson Souttar Wanya Marcal Alves All got bad injuries in the last 12 months.
-
More often than not they won't but many examples of managers doing so if they can do for the longer term benefit. Puel for example did it with Chilwell over Fuchs and persisted for months and months whilst he clearly was raw and not as polished as Fuchs but within a year was seen as a huge talent ready for England call up.

Yeah you're right. I was hoping Marti was cut from a different cloth as he has brought through academy players at other clubs but for example Hammarby in the past were very much all about maximising player value which would require constant fast tracking players with the pursuit of selling them. At QPR he didn't have the squad size he has here and that is the sticking point. He's under pressure not to leave players on £40-50k a week out the match day squad. -

Not sure mate, he's a LW/ACM so there's possibly a need for him if Ramsey went back. -

I was told we were very interested in bringing Jaden Heskey in on loan in the summer. -
Up there with the PTSD Harry Kane gave me in June/July 2016 in France.

I've been fairly happy with the way we've defended set pieces this season. They way we have delivered them ourselves though, my god. Bar El Khannouss vs Sheffield Wednesday, we have been an absolute abomination at them.

The Running Thread (formerly How fast can you run a 5k?)
Ric Flair replied to Sly's topic in General Chat
See i'm the opposite. Used to have a Samsung smart watch and thought it was great but the majority of the stuff that you'd use your phone for I never used on the watch so what's the point. The health/exercise stuff wasn't as good as the two Garmins i've since had so I take the view that if that's more important than go with a Garmin or Coros. -
Think the maximum is 3 years and then 5 years when 18+ but I might be wrong.

Ric Flair replied to moore_94's topic in Leicester City Forum
He is the sort that I think just 1 or 2 games for us and he'd never be out the squad again if available. We have too many players though and Cifuentes will be under pressure to use them. Frustrating -
Jordan Ayew - NEVER PLAYING FOR LEICESTER AGAIN!!!
Ric Flair replied to moore_94's topic in Leicester City Forum
I was shocked to read today he's had the most shots in the league and yet only has 1 goal and the worst conversion (less shocked). I honestly don't recall many chances, he's seldom in the conversation when rhe ball is in the nox but he will have pot shots from anywhere I suppose. -

Ask him what the club have told him his pathway is. Bizarre management of him so far. -
