He looks like he hasnt caught to up the average Leicester players' fitness levels and just needs time. Of course it's too early, but we can only comment on what we've seen so far. I'm sure we all know it can take time and preseason is pointless in terms of making judgements. Just concerned he looks exactly like I thought he would going off what I saw previously and his physique... Slow. I can see where he fits, tightening games up, defending leads etc. But I struggle to imagine him starting in a 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're in dire need of a good FB and CAM ((yes, thanks captain obvious). DD is going to struggle for a CM place this season. Iborra needs a bit time to settle and to stop with the long balls.. McGuire is quality. Musa is not a PL player. Mahrez to stay and a joy to watch no matter what some here might think. He was at the start of the action that lead to the goal. Anyone still thinking that Ulloa is better than Slim should get their head checked or simply stop following football. Thought Musa did ok today, had bugger all to work with. Would rather keep the pace in the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RODNEY FERNIO Posted 22 July 2017 Share Posted 22 July 2017 Think Kingy is just kept for team bonding purposes .. popular with the rest of the lads and fond and loyal to the club. It's a bit like having a nice dog on the books and unfortunately plays like one most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But by all the patience and good will, I can only see him as squad player. The one you'd bring on because otherwise you'd have to call someone from the crowd. I'd prefer to see him go on loan. Glad to be proven wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm1 Posted 22 July 2017 Share Posted 22 July 2017 22 minutes ago, RODNEY FERNIO said: Just a gut feeling on Iborra from watching previous matches with Sevilla as well. Obviously a decent player but so was Inler. Like Inler am not sure he is cut out for the hurly burly and speed of the premier league..... we will see and I hope I'm wrong. I've got to agree. Saw a few Sevilla games last season and he looked tidy but ordinary. Very similar to Inler, who was Swiss captain before he came here. I don't think hes an up grade to DD or James.

Master Fox Posted 22 July 2017 Share Posted 22 July 2017 Iborra has won the Uefa cup 3 times. Played season after season in La Liga in a top side. What has James ever won? The Championship? Played one season in a relegation battle in the Prem. Some of you lot are crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realist Guy In The Room Posted 22 July 2017 Share Posted 22 July 2017 The first fifteen we looked quite bright. After that every single one of our players looked like utter shit. Would read anything into this game at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chico1958 Posted 22 July 2017 Share Posted 22 July 2017 It was great to see James again getting fitter Maguires gonna be fine Mahrez looked like the guy fron 2015/2016 Season for the first half After that showing I hope we can work it out with him ( I doubt it though ) Vardy should have taken at least one of his chances But as someone pointed out to me earlier........... It was a friendly so we haven't lost anything yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovejoy Posted 22 July 2017 Share Posted 22 July 2017 I'm of the brigade that don't read too much into friendlies, but one thing that did catch my eye today was that Lawrence looked really hungry and tracked back very well. Looks like a player who wants to be here I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluetintedspecs Posted 22 July 2017 Share Posted 22 July 2017 Haven't Liverpool player 2 more games? All things considered I believe the first half team showed some real quality and we look on course! Maguire & James looked good and front 4 looked threatening.

smudger63 Posted 22 July 2017 Share Posted 22 July 2017 Why did he bring King on instead of the totally unused Harvey Barnes! We all know what we are going to get from King. Barnes might as well have stayed at home and got some minutes with the kids, rather than fly to Hong Kong to get splinters in his arse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made that comment cus I saw Inler's name pop up I cant see him in a midfield 2 either. But I think he probably will be someone to bring off the bench instead of King hopefully.

I'd like to see him through the middle playing like Vardy off the shoulder. Pace is there. He can finish but he's just not a wide player as his passing crossing and tracking back are all poor.
