Sounds like we might be getting the youngsters to play like the first team? http://www.spursodyssey.com/1617/pl2le040517.html Spurs kicked off the first half attacking the Paxton Road End and quickly lost the ball due to the "Foxes" high press which saw Kapustka fire over. Leicester employed the high press to force Spurs to hit the ball long knowing that their defence would win most of the ball. They would then play it quickly forward for the runs of the attackers. Gordon drew an early save having turned the Spurs defence. That set the pattern of the game with Spurs getting bogged down in midfield while the visitors did not use it favouring the more direct approach. Sterling fired wide and Lesniak also drove wide from a half-cleared corner. Tracey got into the area only to see his effort saved by Hamer and Bennetts squared the ball for Goddard who drove wide as Spurs knocked at the door. With the defence pushing up in support, Leicester began to counter with their long balls which saw Martis cross to Kapustka to draw a save from Glover. Glover saved a free kick by Martis while Edwards won a free kick just outside the area which he took - firing wide. Leicester pushed players forward at set pieces and Kapustka had a shot cleared off the line. A long throw into the area by Johnson found Barnes at the far post and his ball across the box went for a corner from which they scored when Barnes bundled the ball home. Kapustka fired wide when Glover pushed out a cross from Choudhury. Tracey played in Bennetts for an effort that was saved by Hamer. The ball was quickly sent up the other end for Barnes to fire over. Sterling played in Tracey but Hamer was out quickly to save. Brown played a one-two with Edwards but shot wide. Barnes won a corner from Glover's save and Gordon fired over as the half ended. There were no changes for the start of the second half which saw Glover making an early save from Kapustka who went off injured soon after. Spurs made their first change with Shashoua replacing Goddard in a more advanced position. Edwards fired wide having received a crossfield ball from Bennetts who had moved to the left side. Tracey carried the ball out of the Spurs half before giving the ball to Edwards who played in Shashoua for a chance that was saved. A turnover in the middle of the park saw Barnes cross for Gordon to head wide unmarked in the area. Maghoma was booked as he tried to stop Gordon getting away with Glover saving the resultant free kick by Barnes. Spurs were getting caught out by balls over the top as they pushed forward and Gordon got behind the defence to finish one to double the visitors lead. Another ball over the top saw Glover having to race out to stop Gordon getting the ball only to use his hands which saw him shown a red. The keeper knew it was coming and was halfway to the dressing room. Sterling made way for Whiteman who could only watch as Barnes curled the free kick round the wall for Leicester's third goal. Amos got involved in an incident on the far side which saw him get a booking just before Spurs made their last change which saw Marsh replace Bennetts to try and shore up the defence. Wood was played in down the left and he crossed to an unmarked Gordon who scored at the near post for number four. Leicester had taken off Hammond who had been doing a bit of a man marking job on Edwards which gave the Spurs man space to make runs. One such run into the area from the right earned him a penalty when Choudhury caught him. Edwards stepped up himself to fire the ball into the top left corner giving the large crowd something to cheer. In added time Rubio ran onto a ball over the top but fired over. This was a poor performance by Spurs who never got their passing game together. This was because Leicester came with the right tactics and personnel. They pressed high to stop Spurs from playing out of the back and won the resulting long balls. They also made sure that the Spurs midfield could not run with the ball and quickly sent the ball downfield making the defenders turn. Leicester move above Spurs into seventh place but Spurs can still finish above them if they can get a point from their last game. That game is against Manchester United at Old Trafford on the 15th May. With United distracted by the Europa League it is perhaps an opportunity for Spurs to take advantage. very pleasing to hear the u23's are playing a similar style to our first team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would help the younger guys, both playing next to them, and playing against them (not saying everyone on your selection is a fringe player, just trying to make a point.)

Foxxed Posted 14 May 2017 Share Posted 14 May 2017 Tom Lawrence has had a successful loan in the Championship appearing in 34 matches and scoring 9. Harvey Barnes has done the same in League 1. For the under 23s he played 13 games and scored 5 goals. And for Milton Keynes he played 21 and scored 6. Hamza Choudhury played in 13 matches about 600 minutes in the Championship before coming back and looks promising. Josh Gordon has played 6 games in the under 23s and scored 3 goals after arriving from Stafford. Would you loan these out again or keep them to see if they can make the first team? Anyone else to consider? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else to consider? Its a tough one. Do we risk trying to integrate Barnes and Lawrence without buying at Cam or Rw (If Mahrez goes) to give them first team football, or do we just buy for those positions and accept Lawrence is going to leave without being given a chance and Barnes isn't going to get as much development. Personally I would risk it and allow them to come into the team and be backup or even start if Lawrence can replace Okazaki. Might save us some money this transfer window and we can focus on Rb, Cm (Barnes is more of a Left winger apparently) and maybe a striker if Musa isn't deemed good enough and Ulloa leaves. Choudhury needs another season out on loan at a championship club, didn't really impress me in the Oxford friendly last season and couldn't hold down a starting spot in the championship with Burton, wouldn't be against giving him some match time in pre-season to see what he can do though. Gordon should stay with the U23 to learn how we play with closing down and high pressure, could have him on the bench for cup games but I will trust the managment on him as I haven't seen enough of him to form my own opinion. As for others to consider, Muskwe may be decent in a few seasons, gets into good positions but his finishing seems to be quite poor (Going off of the twitter updates during U23 matches) Darnell Johnson could also be good, 18 year old Rb but again will probably need a season or two, maybe out on loan at one point?

Aus Fox Posted 15 May 2017 Share Posted 15 May 2017 Based on the limited amount I have seen him this season, and the stats I have seen. If he were an Ipswich player and we signed him for 10 million this summer, I would be over the moon. Bring him back and give him a go I say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain... Posted 15 May 2017 Share Posted 15 May 2017 It has to be our intention to integrate Lawrence and Kapustka into the squad in preseason with an aim of having at least one of them on the bench next season. If they are making no impact this summer then accept their time is over and sell/loan with a view to selling. Barnes, Choudry etc still have time so if it looks like this season has come too early then get them out on loan again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aus Fox Posted 15 May 2017 Share Posted 15 May 2017 Gray in the Championship 72 games 8 goals. Lawerence 65 games 11 goals. Its not exactly apples for apples because there are a variety of factors involved, but we are excited about Gray and we have Lawrence with just as much potential and only 2 years older.

Captain... Posted 15 May 2017 Share Posted 15 May 2017 What about Cain? He was supposed to be making the breakthrough a few years ago but nobody talks about him now. 22 and was on loan at Blackpool this season according to Wiki. Looking back at that Shrewsbury game, James Pearson, Ryan Watson and Michael Cain starting, Smith, Hopper and Barmby on the bench. What happened to the 'future' of Leicester City.

Cain has pretty much been sitting on the bench at Blackpool from what I have read. My pal in Portland tells me Barmby is pretty crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
