I think we should take a flyer on someone like Boudebouz. It is getting late. Even if he isn't a starter, for 15 million, he has the potential to really improve this team when Mahrez goes, even as an impact substitute. Or Max Meyer is seemingly available, he's a likely lad, 20 million may get him, we can outbid Spurs.

Tonight he was okay - against mid table champs opposition. Still would rather we sold him but credit for not actually having some decent play today. mid table is generous relegation fodder stayed up by a point
Webbo Posted 1 August 2017 Posted 1 August 2017 I'm thinking we could play Chilwell on the wing against Arsenal. A bit more defensive solidity, not bad going forward.

Why can't people accept they are both shit?

lcfcsnow Posted 1 August 2017 Posted 1 August 2017 How is Ulloa getting more minutes than any other player? Are we actually trying to convince him to stay

I'm pretty sure we are trying that. We've got some competition with Brighton, West Bromwich and Man U but I reckon we might just pull it off this year.
sm1 Posted 1 August 2017 Posted 1 August 2017 Maguire is class. 17.5M in todays market is peanuts for him. Musa had a good game, but he had a good preseason last season. I think he could be lethal as a sub against tiring defenders.
TJB-fox Posted 1 August 2017 Posted 1 August 2017 3 minutes ago, Kitchandro said: He does though. Why can't people accept they are both shit? Slimani's movement is miles better than Ulloa's that's clear to see
DJ Barry Hammond Posted 1 August 2017 Posted 1 August 2017 Why didn't we bring another striker tonight? Why did we play 3 similar style central midfielders for most of the game? Why wasn't the intensity shown second half demanded earlier? Too many strange decisions being made for me to be happy with any of that tonight.

There certainly isn't anything wrong with his attacking abilities that's for sure, perfect left wing back
TiffToff88 Posted 1 August 2017 Posted 1 August 2017 I didn't watch the game, and I know in the grand scheme of things have, the following question is massively insignificant, but I was just wondering who finished the match with the armband? I would assume Morgan started as Captain and gave Kingy the armband at half time? But who finished the game as Captain when King came off?

Dr The Singh Posted 1 August 2017 Posted 1 August 2017 Highlight of the game for me was the Arabic commentator, I didnt understand a word he said but he made Stringer sound so shit!!! Fair result, they played a good tactical game

Tonight I think was exceptionally positive from him. Yep - Against Championship defenders. But I agree there is something there that might, with the addition of another conpatriot, might come up and show many of us we were wrong!

RumbleFox Posted 1 August 2017 Posted 1 August 2017 Och. Bad result and bad team performance but, of course, ol' Rumble aint as down as some of you. Results and overall performances been pretty bad pre-season but I don't think it is necessarily a sign of how we will play come the season opener. Of course I would rather us win and rather the performances be good and some individuals do look pretty poor but I still cannot be fully down. Pre-season is mostly about fitness, the tactics are worked on in training rather than the games. I normally look out for individuals in pre-season games and I think, on that front, the signs are not completely negative. We know Schmeichel is great, Maguire has looked very good and Wes can still cut it. Chilwell looked good tonight and Fuchs is one of our most capable players. Simpson never really plays badly although right back cover is, I'll admit, a slight worry. Ndidi will be fine and James has looked good. Drinkwater and Iborra also don't worry me too much, they are both proven performers. On the wings I feel OK too. Musa and Gray looked good tonight and we know Mahrez and Albrighton are two of our best players. If Mahrez leaves the wing is a problem but for now I am not too worried. Up front Vardy is Vardy and hopefully Iheanacho is as good as we all hope. Behind them we have Okazaki and Slimani who I have trust in. ALl those mentioned have looked OK in pre-season and next game we will get a better indication still. Now where we do suffer is depth but you could argue we always have and, moreover, we are Leicester City. Even the big boys struggle to keep fringe players happy so we are not going to be able to have a bench of world class players. If we are lucky with injuries (and remember no Europe) I trust our starting 11 to be top half easily. I dunno, we'll see but I don't think things quite as bad as some see them. X
Babylon Posted 1 August 2017 Posted 1 August 2017 They didn't win because of their tactics but because of our woeful finishing.
Buzzell Posted 1 August 2017 Posted 1 August 2017 I can't comment on the game as I didn't watch it. Was it bad?
