Ahh yes I forgot he was there , how’s he doing ? 

Fine, on their side maybe only Gueye has played better so far, but they are losing. Just been tidy and won his tackles/duels. 6.5/10 maybe, when the team is playing pretty poorly.

Probably says it all that I'm watching Spurs v Villareal and it's taken me 28 minutes to clock that Ayoze is playing 

Still can't quite believe he was, along with Vardy the last player to score a hat trick for us. (The 0-9 against Southampton in 2019)

 

6 years since an LCFC player scored a hat trick. 

 

Anyone know when the last hat trick by an LCFC player was scored at the KP and by whom?

Haha, yeah of course.

 

Everything he's done has been pretty forgettable ever since.

Yeah, just checked the fact.

 

Anyone else feel hat tricks are rarer to come by these days? 

 

Is it the type of football being adopted these days?

It's not. Firstly, as @Guest mentioned, Fatawu against Southampton two years ago. But Iheanacho scored a hat trick against Sheffield United two years after Vardy and Perez.

I Stand corrected! 

 

Whenever I hear or read Ayoze Perez 2 things spring to mind. His and JV's hat trick in the same game but also him wandering around a pitch aimlessly like a crisp packet in the wind.

 

Wasn't his biggest fan towards the end of his time here.

We've scored 6 of our 8 hattricks in the PL in the last decade. Vardy (3) Mahrez (1) Perez (1) Iheanacho (1). Before that only Collymore and Marshall had scored hattricks since 1992 in the top flight for us.

 

So in terms of the top flight we've had our best decade for hat tricks in the last 30 years.

 

In the championship we've had Fatawu, Chris Wood, Nugent, Yakubu, Gallagher, Howard and Conolly score hattricks.

Well, since you put it like that! :dunno:

 

Just doesn't feel like it.

 

Really feel like we could do with someone banging 3 in right now.

Harry Panyioutou, Admiral Muskwe, Alie Sesay, Josh Eppiah & George Thomas all at Morcombe in the national League, surely got to be the most ex-Leicester players in any squad

Another one!

Team of ex-Leicester City players bid to save club after dramatic summer
Morecambe signed their sixth former Leicester City player this week as they look to survive in the National League under the guidance of Leicester-born manager Ashvir Singh Johal

National League side Morecambe are building a side of former Leicester City players in a bid to save themselves from relegation.

The Shrimps’ recruitment drive continued this week with the arrival of a sixth former City player as manager Ashvir Singh Johal looks close to home.

Singh Johal was born in Leicester and worked as a coach in the club’s academy. He’s now, at 30, the youngest manager in England’s top five leagues.

 

He was appointed last month after the Panjab Warriors consortium took over Morecambe. Amid unpaid wages, the club had been suspended from the National League and their existence was on a knife edge.

When Singh Johal came in, Morecambe had just five contracted players, and so the club have been busy building a squad over the past few weeks.

Singh Johal has used his Leicester connections to bring in a host of former City players, including, this week, Arjan Raikhy.

The midfielder, who joined City’s development squad from Aston Villa in 2023, played three times for the senior side under Enzo Maresca.

He was released this summer and joined Boston United in the National League. After four appearances there, he’s now switched to Morecambe on loan.

There he joins five other players to have been developed at City. Those include centre-back Alie Sesay, who spent four years with the club before leaving in 2016.

He’s returned to English football after eight years away to join Morecambe, having represented clubs in Sweden, Greece, Azerbaijan, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Vietnam in the meantime.

Leicester-born winger and attacking midfielder George Thomas has also joined the Shrimps after being released by Cambridge this summer.

Showing promise at Coventry, Thomas joined City but never quite managed to break through into the first team. He was an unused substitute three times under Claude Puel.

Then there are three forwards who all came up through City’s academy. Harry Panayiotou, now 30, scored on his one and only City appearance aged 17 in a final-day-of-the-season win over Leeds in 2012.

Admiral Muskwe was a regular on the scoresheet for City Under-21s but never quite made a breakthrough at the King Power Stadium. Now a Zimbabwe international, he joined Morecambe from Finnish side Mariehamm.

Fellow striker Josh Eppiah also came up through the ranks at City but did not make a first-team appearance. He’s signed for the Shrimps after spending time in Brazil.

After a dramatic win over Altrincham in Singh Johal’s first game, Morecambe then lost four in a row before drawing 4-4 with Solihull Moors at the weekend, Muskwe getting on the scoresheet twice.

They are bottom of the table as things stand, but have played three games fewer after their early-season matches were postponed amid their financial insecurity.

I wonder if we have any 17/18 year old's that could do well at that level and get a taste of senior football.

Briggs & Evans could do with it if they aren't going to get a look with the first team, I believe at that level you can do short term loans of 1-2 months

If they're good enough it's a great environment for youths to go to and experience. They'll mature no end and it gives us a good barometer of where they're at in their development.
