Tbf Enzo asked a lot of him last night. Playing the inverted full back role, then asking him to play it coming from the left and also needing him to cover the marauding runs/dummy runs from Burns. Ipswich were tactically very good last night, I’d say tactically they played with more intelligence than a good number of Premier League teams (credit to their manager) and that made it a really difficult night for Hamza as much mentally as it was physically.

A true fans player. He played as many games for Leicester City’s first 11 as the vast majority of those of us who watch at the KP. A Leicester City footballer in touch with the common man. Thanks Alex

Yeh, course. I’ve already ordered 4 of them - absolutely guaranteed to pay out £4K per top as the 25 games he played for us will be pivotal to the inevitable World Cup win.

Just been added to the online shop. Sales of a shirt with a Chelsea player on it could rival Danny Ward’s signed shirt from last season. Absolute bargain at just £400.

One of Chelsea’s favourite AM’s Frank Lampard was mainly a deeper lying striker who didn’t offer that much as a normal midfielder tbf. Butch Casadei could emulate that as he gets in good positions to score and he’s outstanding in the air. He struggled with the pace of our game tho and he didn’t like tracking back. He also needs to look after the ball better, it always seems to be miles ahead of him when it’s in his possession. He got dispossessed so often partly because of this.

What’s the Portuguese for ‘No Look Starfish?’

Yeh that was him.

He didn’t play at the the same level as Neil Lewis but another promising fullback who disappeared from view was Kerrea Gilbert. He had a great season for us in League One and then didn’t really kick on.

The height of William’s tackle makes it far more dangerous than the Fatawu one. Fatawu slid along the floor and his foot was very low. This isn’t going to cause any damage to the players leg.The Bristol City lad went in high studs up with much more potential to injure his opponent.

Presumably any new loan for Thomas this season would mean Sheff United would no longer need to cover part of his wage.

I thought the game passed him by a bit if I’m being honest. The number 8 is such a key role in this system and particularly when the wingers are being occupied, they have to step up and it just didn’t happen for him today.

It’s not that Top hasn’t got the money, the new FFP rules mean we can’t just buy players. A 3 year set of accounts that will 2 years of losses combined with a 3rd year relegation means things are tight.

Appalling refereeing performance. Massively Inconsistent, influenced by the crowd, badly positioned (at times blocking plays) and blind to O’Hare’s diving.

The confusing thing about O’Hare is he could be a Premier League level player but he’s rocking a non-league o’hair cut.

Shinji is a Leicester legend. To be honest though, I thought Yuki Abe was very underwhelming for us.

McAteer has only been out because of injury tbf. He would’ve been heavily part of the rotation and I guess he will be if he can ever stay fit.

Allison has been outstanding in the two games he’s been in charge of at the KP. He quietly goes about his business and is decisive but treats players with respect. It was noticeable players didn’t complain about decisions, perhaps because they know he was a decent footballer himself and knows all the tricks that are played and probably because of how he communicates with them. It also has to be said that we don’t really have a shithouse in our team and nor did Huddersfield. The real test will be when he has to referee a Notts Forest game and comes up against a true master of shithousery in Yates. None of the refs I’ve seen can’t cope with his persistent conning, play acting and blatant cheating,

I thought he played well. He was very busy, particularly when spaces started to open up as Huddersfield were forced to attack in the 2nd half. He’s got quick feet and is clearly an intelligent footballer. As he plays more and gets used to the physicality and the speed of English football I think he’ll be a real asset.

Didn’t you watch his movement off the ball? He scored two very well taken goals but he also did a lot of work off the ball. He was continually running his centre half ragged, dragging players out of position and causing a problem as well as starting runs that on another day might’ve been spotted by our playmakers. He also was linking play well particularly in the second half when Huddersfield stopped parking the bus.

Ratings very harsh IMO. I had them all 7’s,8’s and a 9 for Cannon. We won 4-1 and it could’ve easily been 7-2 such were the quality of chances.

I thought Casadei played well today, I’m surprised he’s currently got such a low score on the player ratings. He started off a bit slowly but by the second half he was bombing forward, playing positively and linked up well with Fatawu/Albrighton and Akgun.

I agree, he also gave Winksy 5/10

Had one of his quieter games tonight but had two excellent efforts miss by millimetres. Hit the post and pushed one just wide of the post. The latter one perhaps he should’ve squared it to Butch but you can’t blame him for having a go. His nutmeg against NG was different gravy. We’ve not seen tricks like his and Fatawu’s since Mahrez really - Lookman showed flashes but not as much (but he was always played out of position tbf)

His first touch goes further than many can pass a ball.

Didn’t know that. His body was unable to cope with a 20 minute run around against Rotherham? Omfg that lad is made of balsa wood.
