Captain... Posted 22 December 2020 Share Posted 22 December 2020 9 hours ago, ALC Fox said: Haha Adrian Durham does love to wind up the Arsenal fans. Imagine saying he could better Arsene Wenger's achievements inside 5 years. When he would have to start with that sorry excuse for a Premier League squad. Absolute crazy talk. What isn't so crazy is that Rodgers might fancy it if he thinks he'd have time, money to spend and an even bigger wage than he's on here. He might fancy the chance to go down as a legend at somewhere like Arsenal. But, I'd like to hope that he knows which side his bread's buttered being at Leicester. A new training ground, a blueprint for success, good wages, an exciting project, and a chance to establish a club among the elite rather than pander to entitled fans/owners who think it's their divine right to be up there. I just hope our rate of progress matches his ambitions, but if not, I'd back the club to make the right appointment to replace him. I think having already managed a "big club" he's less likely to have his head turned by Arsenal. He knows we are ambitious probably more so than BR and the owners will do everything they can to match his ambition and keep him here. I doubt he would go to a team that needs rebuilding when he is building a very good team here, they problem will come when Vardy retires and a few others move on and we start to drift away, that's when he will have the choice to rebuild here or go somewhere else. That won't be for a couple of years yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A replacement striker is really needed for the benefit of the team as a whole. It would be a good move in January if we can find someone. Who is the next Ings? Missing in action a huge club and looking for his next move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we've performed well as a team at times, but individuals I'm not sure we have a stand out. Castagne started well, but has been injured for 2 month. Forfana has played well, but in reality enough to get in the back 4 (although Van Dijk being in is a joke). EDIT: hang on, is the calendar year team?

SkidsFox Posted 22 December 2020 Share Posted 22 December 2020 Just surprised Vardy didn't get in there, but we are biased here of course. Will and Ricardo may have made it but of course been injured m uch of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AjcW Posted 22 December 2020 Share Posted 22 December 2020 I think the problem is, even if they hadn't been injured they wouldn't have made it. Picking your mate at CB just ends all credibility for the rest of the feature, I love watching those two but as soon as I saw Coady's name I went to bed, just completely undermines the rest of the selection.

CosbehFox Posted 22 December 2020 Author Share Posted 22 December 2020 I must admit Carragher’s reasoning that Coady had made the step to international level was quite the critique. Considering since his debut, England in their competitive fixtures have been pretty poor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If/when we come up against Milan/United/Leverkusen in later rounds, Rodgers has to play his strongest team in both the EL and league. It'll be interesting to see how we cope. Its easy playing against Zorya and AEK with reserve players. Well, we've been playing a lot of reserve players in EPL games too and we're in second place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AKCJ Posted 22 December 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 22 December 2020 We've only had 1 more point than Arsenal in 2020. We're 9th in the annual table. There isn't a single Leicester player that should be in that side. I think there would have been a few in the 2019 version though. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
