The game after 'Spider' Kalac had dropped several howlers against WBA (league) and Bolton (league cup), Kevin Poole was restored between the sticks. We played Watford and won 1-0 (Big Iwan with the goal) but, to me, it's memorable for an incredible save from Poole, late on, where he tipped a point-blank range header from Kevin Phillips onto the crossbar. When I bought the season review VHS, I couldn't believe that there wasn't even a replay of it (let alone slowed down from an alternative angle!)
Thought his attitude, after coming on, was the turning point. Really fired up the crowd with that tackle on halfway and didn't let his head drop after a couple of misses.
To the tune of 'Agadoo' (classy, I know!)
Fa-ta-wu-wu-wu,
A magician on the wing,
Fa-ta-wu-wu-wu,
He'll make all of Leicester sing,
On the left,
On the right,
Beat defenders just for fun,
On the move,
All the time,
Just watch Fatawu run.
Nailing my colours to the 'Copacabana' mast:
His name is Enzo,
Enzo Maresca,
He came here to manage the Leicester,
Enzo, Enzo Mar-e-e-esca,
With Enzo and Vardy, (subject to Vardy playing 😄)
We'll all have a party,
It's Enzo... ...Mar-es-ca.
One swallow doesn't make a porn star but Soumare has clearly responded better to a fortnight of Smith and co than he had to 18 months of Rodgers. Excellent in the 2nd half
However, Soyuncu was IMMENSE - almost flawless.
Just for a bit of fun, what is the best XI you can make from players who only played for Leicester for a single season (or less)?
I'd go with:
GK Marton Fulop
RB Kerrea Gilbert
LB Ben Thatcher
CB Curtis Davies
CB Ben Mee
CM Mark Draper
CM N'Golo Kante
CM Esteban Cambiasso
RF Marcus Bent
LF Ademola Lookman
CF Les Ferdinand
(Centre mid was easy, centre-back less so...)
