ithuriel Posted 20 July 2019 Posted 20 July 2019 Just now, Nicolo Barella said: I didn't think Soyuncu had a bad game Did not have a great one either, still not convinced by him, needs to cut out the silly mistakes.
StriderHiryu Posted 20 July 2019 Posted 20 July 2019 Here's my summary: - Our reserves and u23 squad are rather lackluster. Perhaps there is some concern over our squad depth especially upfront. Ihenacho had chances but didn't finish, and if I compared his preseason thus far to last year, he's gone backwards. Last preseason he was in great form and playing well. We all know he's lacking in confidence, but it's a bit worrying for fans. - Soyuncu looks like he has a mistake in him. I would note though that Evans had a number of shocking games early in his LCFC career before adjusting to the team, and that Soyuncu has not played against physical lower league opposition very much. I think today was a very good learning experience for him, even if he looked rather dodgy. I think he's the type of player you can only judge after having a run of 10 or some games personally. - Tielemans . Bloody hell what a player! If someone beats him for club player of the season, they are going to have to have an outstanding season. Pure class! - Mendy really good, great assist for Albrighton, does the basics really well and makes the system work. - Notable that once again our wide players drift in much more often than last season. Albrighton got into good scoring opportunities so many times, and he had a great game. - Some of the younger players look quite promising. In this match Fitzhugh made a good impact once he was on. - Lots of solid performances from players you'd expect such as Evans, Fuchs, Vardy. Overall not as impressive as last time round, but still showed glimpses. Tons of players still to come back and more of an "audition" style match for some of the young guns. Maybe the only shame for me was that the crisp one touch passing from the last match wasn't so apparent. We did it in patches, but I felt we went a little too direct this time round, and I reckon Rodgers will feel the same. Looking forward to the next one!
WigstonWanderer Posted 20 July 2019 Posted 20 July 2019 Not going to read too much into it, but I thought Soyuncu looked rather uncomfortable out there today.
kingfox Posted 20 July 2019 Posted 20 July 2019 Two wins from two, we're gonna win the league Albrighton our best performer today. The central midfield partnership of Tielemans and Mendy impressed again. Vardy and Evans played well too
StriderHiryu Posted 20 July 2019 Posted 20 July 2019 Good interview with Rodgers going on at the moment: - Double sessions all week! Pushing the players hard. - Players out of position responsible for conceding the goal. - Happy with preseason so far, first two games just about fitness. - Happier with the tempo of the second half, much quicker. - U21 boys will play in the next game.
AjcW Posted 20 July 2019 Posted 20 July 2019 Every time I see Evans I honestly think I’d be fine if we’d got him a year earlier and spent £20m... just pure class
CloudFox Posted 20 July 2019 Posted 20 July 2019 Neither Maguire nor Soyüncü looked 100% comfortable in that LCB slot. Ndukwu disappointed, Fitzhugh surprised. Albrighton, Vardy and Youri looked sharp, as did Mendy. Riccy P was unusually quiet.

Brilliant u21 v Cambridge sold 1200 tickets too.
Guest SO1 Posted 20 July 2019 Posted 20 July 2019 Double sessions all week. No wonder they looked a bit sluggish at times.

Another one where you just can’t understand why teams bid 60m for Maguire. He’s not even as good as Evans! I still like Maguire but defensively he’s not at the same level as Evans.
UPinCarolina Posted 20 July 2019 Posted 20 July 2019 FPL players, take note: Tielemans is a bargain at 6.5, and I think Vardy will score 20 so he too is a bargain at 9.0

Actually switched with Ricardo a couple of times so was in the right wing position. Exciting prospect in my opinion. Looks a real athlete
mucfox Posted 20 July 2019 Posted 20 July 2019 Anyone here still believes Soyuncu is fit for the Premier League? He lost 4 out of 6 tackles against a League Two player. What is he doing against Kane, Salah, Zaha or many others....?

I have a ticket and have taken the afternoon of work for this - will be bit dissapointed if no stars feature.

Think we can tick him off as an automatic replacement for Maguire when he leaves (inevitable and imminent imo).... Benko perhaps not ready for the step up either?.. Can now see why Dunk is being rumoured as Harry's replacement.

Looks like he and Pereira are in similar mould (the latter obviously going to be a starter). Attacking full-back, gets forward regularly to join with forwards and in opposition final third. Looks pacy too.
moore_94 Posted 20 July 2019 Author Posted 20 July 2019 I think once Benkovic is back he is the likely player to take the Left Centre back spot rather than Soyuncu (if Maguire leaves)

Shane Posted 20 July 2019 Posted 20 July 2019 Hasn’t Evans played LCB for most of his career at Man Utd & West Brom? Wonder why we haven’t tried him in that position
murphy Posted 20 July 2019 Posted 20 July 2019 2 minutes ago, Shane said: Hasn’t Evans played LCB for most of his career at Man Utd & West Brom? Wonder why we haven’t tried him in that position Yes. I remember him saying how he struggled early to play on the right as he had played on the left for all his career. If Maguire does go if gives us the chance to play Evans in his most comfortable position.

Just look at the names you mentioned + Vardy,none of them PL quality..!? Another put up for the seasonal witch-hunt... FFs even top CBs struggle. Look at Evans and Harry.!!!! Soyu hasn't played a season yet,but it's ok to look at 2 bottom half CBs who also Struggled, Defenders have their ups and downs...it's the nature of the beast.
