lcfc sheff Posted 25 July 2018 Author Posted 25 July 2018 Interestingly we don’t seem to have a destroyer type CDM at England, atleast at u21 and senior level; could potentially fill in that niche

Iborra wasn't what most of us expected but statistically he's been pretty solid. I think he has potential to be a top player for us that's for sure. Edited 25 July 2018 by cityfanlee23
MC Prussian Posted 25 July 2018 Posted 25 July 2018 Very effective against Notts County, not so sure about his showing against Akhisarspor today. Lost the ball in easy situations a few times and seemed rather annoyed, not as focused as last Saturday.
Dan Posted 25 July 2018 Posted 25 July 2018 He's got a real burst of energy which I like. Bit reckless at times but will get better with more game time.
Ric Flair Posted 26 July 2018 Posted 26 July 2018 Choudhury has surprised me, he's been given a real focus and confidence from Puel and it's bringing the best out of him. He's an unusual player and precisely the sort of player who can drop in when Maguire goes on those mazy runs. Sadly, we might be Maguire-less next season but Choudhury is probably 4th choice in midfield now and will get chances. It seems it's the less obvious youth players that are impressing Puel, Elder and Johnson seem to have caught Puel's eye over the likes of Hughes and Thomas. 2
Shane Posted 26 July 2018 Posted 26 July 2018 I’m all for giving Silva a chance but if he doesn’t make an impact i’d play Choudhury alongside Ndidi. Yes its defensive but providing we sign a RW, we will need more ball winners in midfield when our attackers and full backs get forward. We don’t press aggressively enough off the ball either imo, so having two strong tacklers like Choudhury and Ndidi will help set the tempo. 1
Ted Maul Posted 26 July 2018 Posted 26 July 2018 I like him. Burst onto the scene in our youth side and impressed in League One with Burton, then seemed to stall a bit. I went to watch a Burton game in the Championship and positionally he was very poor- he was all over the place, losing his markers and leaving space. He looks to have adjusted him game now- he’s dropped very deep, sitting just in front of the back 4 most the time and providing a very effective shield. He’s very comfortable on the ball too, so he’s always there to provide a simple option for the defenders and he can pick a forward pass. He's really taken his chance and if he carries on developing at the rate he is, he will be a serious player in a couple of years.

Either way, my point was of all the players in our U23 squad I'd have predicted Hughes and Thomas were the ones who'd be out with the first team in pre-season. Seems odd they've not been after being involved back end of last season.

Clever Fox Posted 26 July 2018 Posted 26 July 2018 It looks like we might use him on the right of midfield with NDiddi in the centre. I'd prefer if we signed a strong left side midfielder with NDiddi on the right and Hamas playing the Mange roll in the centre. this would leave us more balanced and difficult to get through.

Ian Nacho Posted 26 July 2018 Posted 26 July 2018 He's been involved in the first team for about 6 months and he's already surpassed the likes of Matty James and Andy King. 3

Both of those need to be moved on. They are lower Prem quality of Championship. Also James is unbelievably injury prone that he’s guaranteed to miss at least 10-15 games a season I’d say. I’d prefer to see Mendy given another chance than roll out those two.
