Popular Post STUHILL Posted 11 August 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 11 August 2019 Considering it was the opening game of the season, and Rodgers didn't get the set-up quite right so we were constantly exposed to fast counter attacks, I thought Soyuncu did a fantastic job today. He really is a talent and will surely only get better with more games. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A moment before the first half ended where it looked like the had a two on one, he absolutely flew back from the corner to stop the chance. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirkster the Fox Posted 11 August 2019 Share Posted 11 August 2019 On 09/08/2019 at 22:34, Dirkster the Fox said: Probably our biggest question mark player this season now. None of us really know how this will play out. He will be nervous, he will take a little time to get into the "swing of things". He will need our support for sure. Fingers crossed for the lad. Thanks for all the positive response to the above message. Can i just say I thought Calgar did well today. Chuffed for the lad and impressed with the crowd/teammates towards him as well. Up the Foxes!! Don't forget this is our future (for now), so keep supporting him game on game 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fine. It's human to do so. He reminds me of Spider Kalac. I had the same dreadful realisation when I first saw him - that this guy actually doesn't know what he's doing. I genuinely hope you optimists are right and I'm wrong with Soyuncu because from the 3/4 times I've seen him, he looks clueless Your hopes are fulfilled!

adejo92 Posted 11 August 2019 Share Posted 11 August 2019 I just saw Soyuncu thread appear active in the transfer section; For a split second I thought it was going to be a Man Utd transfer rumour with them pencilling in a 90M cheque with January's date on it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was willing him.to do well. But To say he was motm - as many on here are doing - is frankly absurd. Maybe sheer relief plays a part. He was quick. I liked that. Couple of nice shifts to get out of a tight spot. And he won a couple of vital 50/50s (which easily could've gone against him) by the skin if his teeth. But I'm pleased for him and he needs - as all players do - a bit of luck to build his confidence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Citing a belief that he was MOTM may be "debatable", it may be "arguable" it may even be just incorrect but one thing it is not is "absurd". The Leicester Mercury have him as MOTM, 90Min.com have Ricardo, Squawka have him as our best player and Sky have him as their MOTM. For me he was one of our top 3 players but if you don;t think he was MOTM I can fully understand but "absurd" is clearly OTT as a description for people that thought he was our best player. I know this is the internet and all but hyperbole, in my opinion, only has the effect of ruining one's own point not strengthening it.

X If Maguire hadn't existed and Soyuncu had played 50 games and wasn't under the spotlight I'm not sure he'd have got MOTM. Ricardo for me looked the best player on the pitch again for us, but he was definitely in the top 3 or 4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose the toss up is going forward we were dog mess and although Ricardo wasn't to blame for that we still created the square root of fcuk all. Where as at the back, in the 2nd half mainly there was a number of times that Wolves broke and it was a situation that most fans were fearing with Soyuncu left exposed and he was faultless. His pace is a real asset to us compared with the limited movement we've been used to of Morgan and Maguire. Deserved his MOTM and is a great confidence boost for player and fans haha. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pereira was the only who gave it a go ... and Caglar (no matter how many times he'd played) stopped them scoring on more than one occasion by showing maturity beyond his years .. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on that performance we've improved defensively in terms of extra pace and aggression, but lost a bit of aerial dominance. Be delighted if Cags can keep up that level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Morgan when he got the winner against Burnley. The way the Leicester team does this seems to symbolise team spirit. Expensive players in the spotlight encouraging team-mates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clever Fox Posted 19 August 2019 Share Posted 19 August 2019 He was even better yesterday than last Week although not quite MOTM. You could see that he's learned something from last week. His positioning and timing were better yesterday. Before the season is much older we'll be asking Harry Who? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
