The second paragraph I agree with too, but basically that's the argument I've seen made for Mendy, so perhaps if he departs that opens up a spot for Silva.

He played well maybe just maybe give him a chance? You never know a bit of positivity in your life might be nice. Its not about positivity its about ability and he isnt good enough for premier league, thats fact. Feeling very positive about our chances this season and would love to be proved wrong where Ghezzal is concerned but somehow I dont think that he will get the chance.

Hope the glamour tie tests our defence though. Dont want another opener like bolton at home ? True. I'm so glad we're not dicking about in China.
North Leeds Fox Posted 23 July 2019 Posted 23 July 2019 Very positive tonight. To think we can add perez and potentially 3 others to that squad (benkovic and 2 new recruits) is very exciting
Legend_in_blue Posted 23 July 2019 Posted 23 July 2019 An organised team approach. It was quite clear what we were doing at all times. A touch of brilliance here and there and a cutting edge up front putting some of those chances away and hopefully we can start beating 10 men teams behind the ball at home this season and close the gap to 6th.

It's been our biggest weakness, so let's tackle it right away, and build up the quality of opposition game after game. Again i think it's great coaching!
Suzie the Fox Posted 23 July 2019 Posted 23 July 2019 Enjoyed that. Really looking forward to the Atalanta game and seeing it live ...
baldeagle Posted 23 July 2019 Posted 23 July 2019 All the players definitely look fitter and sharper bar the odd one or two

How do you know he hasn't got the ability? Players take time to adapt to new leagues and it's not like he got a massive amount of chances and the ones he did he never really got a run on games. It's great to see a player put in the effort in pre season and give a Manger a headache when it comes to picking a team. But yeah I get it it's cool not to like him so probably best you don't.

Fox_in_a_Box Posted 23 July 2019 Posted 23 July 2019 Any one else think his thumbs up to the city supports was his goodbye?

Hollyfox Posted 23 July 2019 Posted 23 July 2019 Very good performances all round. A bit wasteful at times but great passing and movement. Slim's the only one I'd definitely get rid of unless decent offers come in.
car1os Posted 23 July 2019 Posted 23 July 2019 Very pleased Nacho got a goal... he seemed to enjoy it, as well as showing a bit of new confidence with his dribble and shot (hitting the post) very soon afterwards... hope he can become what we hoped for, although no one can take a preseason match against lower league opposition as a marker for the season ahead...
foxes_rule1978 Posted 23 July 2019 Posted 23 July 2019 If Man U sign Maguire for 80m+, I wouldn’t be concerned; I think it will be good business, but we will need a capable replacement.
foxfanazer Posted 23 July 2019 Posted 23 July 2019 I commented saying Nacho was a lost cause here but that goal looked like it lifted a lot of weight off of his shoulders. Would love him to kick on

foxfanazer Posted 23 July 2019 Posted 23 July 2019 Great night overall. Took my daughter to her first game and she got her picture taken with Fuchs who stood and had a little chat with us

He played well maybe just maybe give him a chance? You never know a bit of positivity in your life might be nice. I don't know. The poster is probably basing their opinion more on the dozen or so games Silva had played against EPL opposition than on this single friendly against Cambridge. In those games he's looked slight and a little off-pace. Plus the previous manager didn't fancy him, the current manager appears willing to off-load him and keen to look for alternatives, and on top of that the guy is over 30, and unlikely to improve a great deal. Of course there's a chance out there that Silva will go on to play a decent role for Leicester, or at very least that he could, potentially, fulfil a purpose for us. But I totally understand why someone would have their doubts.
