Competitive, hard working, determined and look fitter. Set up is way too negative.

I agree, he looks tidy and efficient with the ball and looks busy off of it. Think we’ll quickly come to like him alot

Not sure there’s any ref “fanboys”!!? I think people that watched on tv will have seen replays that people at the game didn’t and are discussing what they saw. You’ll not think there was a denied penalty once you see those replays I’m sure

I thought he showed a lot of promise, would love to see him start ahead of Ndidi now

He got that wrong - my guess is that he looked up and saw the lino flagging it for Villa and went with that

See the replay - was a really good clean tackle and won the ball

Vardy was offside before the penalty tackle. It was the right decision

You must have had a poor angle … it was referred to VAR and dismissed after a few seconds - which after you see the replay you’ll agree with. Tielemans won the ball cleanly, not even a hint of foul

It was never a penalty, he got the ball

Hopefully Cooper can learn the lessons that have been apparent every game so far, but more pronounced today: Ndidi is not a starter. In any position. Defend for 70 minutes, then attack for 20 once we’re behind is not a successful strategy. Vardy is an impact sub, not a 90 minute every week player. Ricardo improves that side instantly.

Let’s hope there’s enough useless opposition for Leicester to do the same!

Yeah agreed… The Starmer analogy is bang on

I think it’s unambitious, unimaginative, lazy, half hearted, basic, and joyless. It’s a perfect representation of our board that lacks talent, direction, leadership, and ambition.

Let’s go f’kin mental, Edsonne Edouarde mental ala la la, la la la!!! Great idea - he really does need a new chant and you’ve nailed it!!!

Well that’s cheered me up no end!

I thought the same

By doing so your reasonable perspective becomes less reasonable. Ultimately the guy is legally allowed to express his views. He’s very religious and his religion disallows the activity that he was asked to show solidarity with. That’s a difficult situation so he asked to not be involved. I’m neither Muslim or gay. I’m actually atheist and tolerant so don’t identify with his views, but I can understand they’re difficult. I just favour tolerance, perspective and understanding. The conflict between his religion and a cause that his workplace wanted him to support simply put him in a place where his best option was to step away from it. Surely we can understand that and not blow it out of proportion? Surely he can be allowed to have a view and still be a footballer? He’s potentially going to play football for LCFC not be your MP

Nope. Perfectly understand my point about perspective, but you’re still exaggerating my tolerance of different views to be a ringing endorsement for Nazism. Maybe have a cup of tea, let the heart settle a bit and re-read the discussion??

And you’ve expressed the perspective / scale, which is my only point, perfectly. ”I don’t particularly want (to sign) a bloke who” not ”I don’t want this %^^#* anywhere near MY club” etc

No. It’s “I don’t necessarily share James From London’s view on morals” and I think if we’re making judgements on players based on their perfectly legal politics / views rather than football ability then we’ve lost perspective

So should the club only sign players who share your exact views on the world?? Are your views on your football club more important than other people’s views?? What if someone disagrees with you?? It must be hard work having such rigid opinions and not allowing other viewpoints? And “how is it exaggeration”?? … I’ve said let’s not over react to his religious opinion it could be simply managed if the benefit of signing him outweighed the disadvantages, it’s a consideration, not the ONLY consideration … you’ve then said “ right so you agree with signing Nazis”!!! 😂

Exactly. I agree. Those factors are to be taken into consideration, and if he’s a brilliant footballer that maybe we manage his PR then great. If he’s a mediocre footballer then what’s the point. Thats my point - the big factor is his footballing ability, if it’s huge then factor in the “inconvenient” (there’s a better word but it escapes me) aspects as it’d be worthwhile

Arrrrgghhh the ridiculous exaggeration of a point until it means something entirely different… You’ve illustrated my point perfectly. It’s a matter of scale / perspective.

I agree there’s not much point to this signing from a football perspective, and as above the dressing room harmony perspective. They are the important criteria. I disagree with the virtue signalling / vitriolic over reaction to him refusing to wear a rainbow as he doesn’t share the same views as you or I. That’s way less of a relevant criteria to his recruitment. Being racist in a changing room 1/2 filled with black players is also very different level of offense to saying “my religion conflicts with this statement that the club / league are making and I feel the best way for me to handle this is to bow out of this particular game (I use this as an example - he may not have said exactly this!)

Mmmmm I think that was borderline at times. I remember most of the 6 of us that went to games together wondering what NFP saw in training that we weren’t seeing in matches for a while with the subsequent GOAT
