He may be faster than Vardy but if you can't beat a player or even kick a ball correctly then you get problems. Thank God Vardy stayed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UPinCarolina Posted 31 July 2016 Share Posted 31 July 2016 Only came 1,000 miles to see a real poor showing. It's hard to think that was the best we had to offer. The US Foxes did well but without an area to call our own, we struggled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted 31 July 2016 Share Posted 31 July 2016 Just now, eunmac said: Is there some rule that Gray and Mahrez are not allowed on the pitch at the same time? Push Mahrez in just behind fwd. 4-4-1-1 He's not great in that position though, we saw that a couple times last season. I agree would be exciting to see both on the pitch at the same time. Gray really does give us something else when Mahrez isn't working, i'm really excited about Gray, looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long time since we've had a thrashing like that. No need to panic, it's only a friendly but I can't see anything in Musa yet. Jury certainly out, his touch and composure is appalling at times, hopefully it's just pre season rust. When the commentator actually said "he has a reputation for missing easy chances" I sort of thought wtf, he's a 20 million striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxes_rule1978 Posted 31 July 2016 Share Posted 31 July 2016 That was bloody embarrassing, can't say anymore... I'm hugely disappointed with that to be honest. PSG hardly put a sweat on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callabinho Posted 31 July 2016 Share Posted 31 July 2016 As many have said my only main concern is Musa...he looks like a slightly faster Schlupp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norwichfox Posted 31 July 2016 Share Posted 31 July 2016 Got up as well as recording it, can use the recording to bring me down if I'm having too good a time I thought we were dire, no defence to speak off, Wes looked knackered at the start of the 2nd half. I couldn't see too many positives to take from this, other than Gray. No ball winners, Shinji still wants to play on his ar$e more than his feet, jury is out on Mendy. We were poor in defence and really need to improve a lot before taking on the hell of a banana skin game at the mshighty Hull. Without Kunte there's nothing making us tick, still need to buy a general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember people back then saying it was a waste of time playing opposition like that. We ended up winning the league that season... We lost against Monaco with a team vastly inferior to this one, only a few people are saying it's a waste of time playing PSG in Los Angeles and we're not going to win the league this coming season.

RowlattsFox Posted 31 July 2016 Share Posted 31 July 2016 My biggest fear going into this and the barca game were heavy defeats. Hopefully players can keep positive and not start doubting themselves ahead of the season. PSG are a very good side. We are a different side with Vardy in it but not having Kante is going to be huge.

He's worth £50m I get your point though. It's been difficult to see his value so far. Against Celtic he wasn't involved much & seemed to throw his arms about a lot like a spoilt teenager. He lacked composure today. Hopefully he will have a decent game soon, bag a goal & calm down a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxes_rule1978 Posted 31 July 2016 Share Posted 31 July 2016 It is a friendly but honestly that is not f***ing good enough, just gives all the elite fans fuel to say we our just one season wonders.

Why do I get the impression that breaking a transfer record on Nigerian forwards is going to be another of those things we as a club need to avoid like letting Frenchmen taking penalties for us in crucial games? I've not been particularly impressed either. Fantastic pace but not a great deal else yet. Don't think he's really had much in terms of service yet though.

foxes_rule1978 Posted 31 July 2016 Share Posted 31 July 2016 We haven't spent anything, and of we want to do something in the CL we need to start coming out this small club mentality and bloody spending.

No need to panic, we're still a good team, but we definitely need to beef up a little to build on the club's momentum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a opportunity to step up, we won the league but our net spend is near zero, we have to build and let's use this opportunity to get some serious players in.

dbtcity Posted 31 July 2016 Share Posted 31 July 2016 Thought Chilwell looked tidy and was pretty impressed with what I seen from Amartey (bar the pen) I thought he played well would rather have seen him alongside dd rather than leaving mendy on, looking forward to seeing zieler play 90 mins on Wednesday not that Kasper could have done much about the goals but his distribution was a sham today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
