For me we are much slower in possesion with Iborra of we can get Silva at his best he is more akin to the way madders let's the ball move across his body and tries to get on the front foot. Yeh you are right on that. I just like Iborra but Silva can be better IF we can get him at his best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game based on opinions at the end of the day. Think iborra would be better suited to a 3. Could probably get away with never moving more than 30 yards and just ping passes. The way we set up last night we need a fully firing Silva to just move us a few yards up the pitch quicker when we win the ball back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complete waste of a squad space - let's not forget West Brom improved massively once he was given the sharp one for the taxi incident. I'd have genuinely kept Huth rather than sign him. Definitely have Soyuncu and Benkovic ahead of him. What's your explanation for West Brom putting a £30m price tag on his head and Man City and Arsenal trying to buy him only 12 months a go? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously doubt Man City were ever in for him. Man's dirge. Second worst signing of the summer on paper, and that's only because we signed Ward for some reason.

LCFC hub Posted 11 August 2018 Share Posted 11 August 2018 5 hours ago, Shane said: Everyone said we needed 1 CB before deadline day, not 2. Let’s be honest here, if we signed 1 CB on deadline day then Morgan would have been fine as 4th choice. If we get screwed by injuries then we’d still have Benalouane or our u23s as 5th choice. Signing both Benkovic and Soyuncu was overkill when it was obvious we needed another attacker. So if we’re not switching to 3 at the back, then I don’t see the reason for signing 3 CB’s. That is the only indication that we have that suggests 3 at the back. Claude has never played 3 at the back. The new centre backs are 21and 22. Good planning for when Benalouane and Morgan are gone? Bed them in etc. Plus we don't know how long Harry is here for? So I wouldn't say it's overkill (if you include all our centre back options yes!) but not if you exclude the likes of Benanlouane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KFS Posted 11 August 2018 Share Posted 11 August 2018 None of their midfield 3 are over 6 foot. Iborra and N'Didi please. Maddison to drag one of 3 centre halves out, Vardy to burn Willy Boly. 2-0 Leicester 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Vacamion Posted 11 August 2018 Popular Post Share Posted 11 August 2018 3 hours ago, Col city fan said: What is being built here? The immortals couldn’t carry on playing for us for ever. Our counter attacking style, devoid of possession, which had taken the league by storm, was sussed out and overcome by others as a style of diminishing returns. A new, more youthful, set of players was needed, with a ball playing, possession-based play. We needed to bring through some of our promising young players from the development squad. Changing manager every time things go slightly awry (or just because they don’t give entertaining post match interviews) was a recipe for instability. I’d have hoped that most could see that we can play some decent football, that the team and squad are developing positively and that Puel needs more time to finish building what he’s started. 17 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxfanazer Posted 11 August 2018 Share Posted 11 August 2018 Play anywhere near our best and we win this comfortably. Neves takes a nice free kick and Moutinho does the simple things well. About as much as I can say for them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koke Posted 11 August 2018 Share Posted 11 August 2018 Silva over Iborra. Silva moves the ball quicker and is more mobile. I hate when Iborra ball hugs. Though Iborra is better defensively and has more aerial threat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bear Posted 11 August 2018 Share Posted 11 August 2018 (edited) We'll undoubtedly can play better than we did tonight, but I still expect us to lose this. Not sure Traore will be fit for this and Dendoncker could come in either at CB for Bennett (unlikely as he was one of our better players tonight), or at DM instead of Moutinho.
