Think Alves is better as a 10 than a winger. Not sure he has the pace to go past a fullback the same way Fatawu, Steph or Monga can, and ended up losing the ball a few times. But like that he worked hard to win it back, battled well and kept trying things, think he’ll be a good alternative to Bilal if he stays and should get plenty of minutes still. Also think Evans is better centrally as a striker. Again worked hard and quite physical given his age, but struggled to get by his man who was one of their better players in fairness. Think he’s a little further off breaking through but still good enough to be 3rd choice striker and starting for the u21’s, which isn’t bad at 16/17.

Overall first half summary: think we’ve looked decent out of possession, good pressing from the front 4. In possession we’ve looked pretty sloppy.
-
Wonder if they could be the two teams for Friday … Didn’t spot Ricardo or Monga in that? Good to see Nelson back playing, hopefully gets at least 45 mins
-
Would like Martí to try a few different combos in Friday’s game ahead of the new season. Personally think Page is more suited as a box to box 8 rather than a 10. And would also like to see Monga given a run on the right as well. We’re going to have to rotate Fatawu a bit due to his recent injury, so would be good to give Monga exposure on the right, and has played both sides at youth level. Stolarczyk Ricardo - Okoli - Nelson - Thomas Winks - Page Monga - Alves - McAteer Daka Subs: Vestergaard, Hamza, Thomas Bausor Coulibaly - Coady - Faes - Aluko Ndidi - Skipp Fatawu - Bilal - Mavididi Ayew Subs: Justin , Soumaré, Evans

Feels like this will happen, Mads ex GK coach has just gone to Wham, he’d suit Potter-ball to a tee, and we need the cash. £20m should be the absolute minimum we accept, hoping for closer to £25m+
-
Believe Nelson is injured think someone mentioned it the other day. Also worth noting as someone said earlier, the games probably being used for those that have had minimal game time so far, so not worth reading too much into the lineup. Hopefully Fatawu gets a run out!!
-
Wonder if this means Mads could be off..? Or whether he’ll just be 3rd choice and/ or possible player-coach?

Anthony Knockaert

Kasey McAteer must be at least 6”7’ the lads fookin huge
-
And Omari Hutchinson angling for a move… Think they’ll still be pretty strong this season but can’t see anyone walking the league, imagine it will be fairly tight between Soton, Ipswich, Sheffield Utd, Us and Birmingham probably.
-
Série A teams would only offer loan with option they inevitably won’t take up. Lower wages and longer contract means he will likely stay. Unless we fail to shift any of Coady, Faes or Vesty in which case will probably have to loan him out to get at least one CB out the door. Sincerely hope this one isn’t the case!

Who should be captain next season?
Foxes96 replied to winteriscoming's topic in Leicester City Forum
Ricardo. Nelson doesn’t need the extra pressure at that young age when he’s trying to establish himself. -
I know it’s not that simple but would be really intrigued to see McAteer up front. He’s quick, presses really well, decent finisher & positioning getting in the right places and is obviously huge so could offer a physical presence up top He’s also not particularly technical or great at beating his man so not a natural fit as a winger under Marti I wouldn’t have thought.

We’ve got far too many players currently haven’t we. Ricardo - Okoli - Nelson - Thomas Winks - Skipp McAteer - Bilal - Mavididi Daka Justin - Faes - Coady - Kristiansen Hamza - Ndidi Fatawu - Alves - Monga Ayew Coulibaly - ? - Vestergaard - Aluko Soumaré - Page Joseph - Golding - BDCR Evans

Definitely spotted Wilf towards the end of the most recent video

Can we still get Powell in as Assistant?

Norwich doing some very decent business, can see them pushing playoffs this year. Wonder if this means Sargent could be on the move..?

Page looks to have a much higher ceiling compared to Cartwright. Much like Tavares looked a much better prospect than KDH at youth level… -
How soon until the O’Neil out poll is opened? 👀
-
Re. Che Adams - if he wanted the move and we wanted to sign him, I’m sure there’s a deal to be had with Torino where we sign him for €8m and send Faes there way for an equivalent fee. I’m torn on it, but wouldn’t hate it if we managed to sell one of Daka/ Ayew and it meant we got rid of Faes as well!!

There we go, if the board have leaked these updates to Tanner & Percy to gauge fan reception the results are pretty conclusive. Rohl at c. 70%

Hope we see a few decent loans for some of these next season in L2/ L1. Think some of the younger ones 16/17/18 will stay playing U21s and support for the first team - Aluko, Page, Monga & Evans. Jayden Joseph Henry Cartwright Brandon Cover Wanya Marcal Logan Briggs Amani Richards Silko Thomas -

What we expecting second half then? Would rather Cartwright to play over Soumaré but seems unlikely. Stolarczyk James Justin Olabade Aluko Conor Coady Victor Kristiansen Boubakary Soumaré Sammy Braybrooke Jeremy Monga Louis Page Will Alves Silko Thomas Henry Cartwright Mirsad Ali Jayden Joseph Logan Briggs
