What I'm not understanding is why he and Mahrez aren't linking up well. You'd expect them to be the two players on the team with the most chemistry.

Benji Posted 19 January 2017 Share Posted 19 January 2017 Without trawling the thread if they get knocked out do we get them back earlier or are they out there for a set period regardless of progress? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeGuy Posted 19 January 2017 Share Posted 19 January 2017 Knew it. No way they'll win against Senegal so Mahrez and Slim are back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxes21 Posted 19 January 2017 Share Posted 19 January 2017 do we get mahrez/slimani back in time for the burnley game or give them a rest, ready for the united game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their last group game is Monday. So if they don't get through they should be good for the Burnley game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USFox Posted 19 January 2017 Share Posted 19 January 2017 Mahrez and Slimani aren't playing well at all right now. Kind of scares me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted 19 January 2017 Share Posted 19 January 2017 Literally all Slimani does is moan doesn't he? Throws his arms up in the air and it's always someone else's fault. Mahrez...Is he even playing? In a way I find it comforting that "atleast it's not just us he's playing shit for". Needs to get his head out the clouds "RM7"...Who's he think he is Ronaldo?!

Bert Posted 19 January 2017 Share Posted 19 January 2017 Maybe a very slight chance they'll be involved for Derby. They'll be back at Leicester for Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USFox Posted 19 January 2017 Share Posted 19 January 2017 Algeria are miserable right now. Mahrez and Slimani included. Honestly, at this point I would sell while their price is still high and cut my costs with what we have now. We can maybe buy 6-7 quality young players with that money instead.

Manwell Pablo Posted 19 January 2017 Share Posted 19 January 2017 From what ive seen they've been second best. i doubt it'll even matter if they do beat Senegal all Tunisia are gonna need to do beat Zimbabwe so long as the 7pm game goes to plan.

It's frustrating, because both can be match winners for us. Unfortunately Mahrez's head has been turned and has barely tried this season & we signed Slimani to play with Vardy in Shinji's place, but honestly both Okazaki & Ulloa are better in that position. Meaning Slimani can only play CF, which probably makes Vardy unhappy as he likes to be the main man. For those reasons I agree with what you said.

Ric Flair Posted 19 January 2017 Share Posted 19 January 2017 How are Algeria not the best team in Africa? Their squad is unbelievable compared to most. Mind you how did Nigeria not qualify with theirs? Algeria have definitely gone backwards. From 2013-15 they were very good to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester City has a very good opportunity right now to get both equity and build for the future. Mahrez (25-35 mil) and Slimani (20-25 mil) are still worth a lot of buck. I really want the team to focus on getting good holding midfielders and a good CB that can also hold the ball and pass it. If we can do that I have no doubt in my mind an offense that includes Vardy, Musa, Gray, Okazaki, and Ulloa can win games and deliver. Kaputska, Mendy, N'didi, and Gray are a mouthwatering bit of young talent to build around. We should focus on that and build a side that can compete for top 5 every year, which I have no doubt we can with the proper scouting and addition of talent.

USFox Posted 19 January 2017 Share Posted 19 January 2017 Final time 2-1 to Tunisia. I like Nabil Bentaleb. Good CM that creates attacks and tracks back on defense. He's a bit rough around the edges but is seemingly doing well on Shalke right now. Might be worth sending a scout and checking it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really are the England of Africa. Great squad on paper, a football-crazed fan base, and A LOT of egos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MattP Posted 19 January 2017 Share Posted 19 January 2017 If you aren't tossing crosses into Slimani he looks ridiculously average. I love to know what percentage of his goals are scored with head, it would be way above average. Be a bonus to have them both back from Burnley, they struggle to defend crosses.

That wasn't always the case. At Sporting he was great on his feet towards the end of his time there and he knew where to position himself for crosses. Today he seems like he lost those skills or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st albans fox Posted 19 January 2017 Share Posted 19 January 2017 Slim is clearly carrying a knock they won't rest him for their last game so I doubt he will be fit for Burnley. Guarantee he will declare fit for yanited ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
