Caglar Soyuncu emerges as new cult hero at Leicester City

[Ric Flair]

Front foot defending at its best.

Yep. Much much better tonight. Finally getting his form and confidence back. 

[dmayne7]

The best bit about his performance, and this is ridiculous to say, but he just did the basics well. When he's at his best of course he does some great last ditch defending, brings the ball out, fires off some great long passes but it's also the fact that he keeps it simple when he has too and puts the simple/low risk defending ahead of the more fancy stuff. Hope that gives him some confidence back because he's way too good a player to piss it away like he has been and just become some average top flight player.

[Sampson]

Been superb the past 2 games. Hopefully this continues and looks like the brilliant defender he was 2 years ago again.

[foxfanazer]

That was the old Cags. No nonsense defending and putting his body on the line 

[StanSP]

Excellent today. Read the game very well. 

[Clarkielcfc]

Looking more confident, getting better again. Needs to keep it together now

[adam95581]

Him and Amartey seem to have found a bit of form together. They look like they understand each others games and know what works and what doesn’t. Long may it continue!

[Supergray22]

Even the cruyff turn is back. He’s definitely getting back to his best. Amartey doing very well too. KDH fantastic again today. 

[foxes_rule1978]

Looked more himself today, confident on the ball and not rushing into needless tackles 

[LCCFox96]

Couple of monstrous blocks from Cags today, a second good game in a week. Hopefully he's turned a corner - he did the basics well and put his body on the line for us. James and Rodrigo presented a very different challenge to Weghorst midweek and Soyuncu (and Amartey) have both put in two convincing defensive displays against them all. Encouraging signs and the clean sheets will do us the world of good - mad how the wins start to follow when you stop leaking 2 goals per game!

The more they played together, they get to know what each other is doing and wants. 

Soyuncu needed less marshalling from Amartey then the Burnley game ...he instinctly new what Amartey wanted from him

[NewquayFox]

Great game today, we are getting the old Soyuncu back..

[Guest SO1]

Soyuncu is class and has been.

[Ric Flair]

The last 2 games has made me realise just how colossal he can be, it's inevitable he's off IMO but hopefully some more games like today still sees us get £20-25m and helps us win this Conference muck.

I don’t think we will let both soyuncu and fofana leave. We need to build for the future and need players like these. If fofana comes back where he left in I think the spotlight will be on him not Cags.

Difference is his contract will be running out

Fofana is very close to signing a new deal, he'll give us another 2 seasons I reckon. Cags I think wants a move, the fact he's never signed a new deal and is only on about £45k a week when he could have doubled that as an important 1st team player here tells me he would rather plot his next move.

[Corky]

That hoof out of play in injury time was glorious.

 

Love a no nonsense, thump the ball away, no pissing about here moment.

.....did you mean £20-25M more, because that price would be daylight robbery!!!

[Tuna]

Had a great, dominant game at the back, we need to see more performances like this from him on a regular basis!

[Blue ROI]

Probably his best run of games for some time.

 

Bit of desire about him today that was great to watch.

[Clever Fox]

Him and Dan both done well today. They both put in a physical performance which we haven't seen much of lately.

It may have been a carry over from the Burnley game but we need more of it.

Let's hope he's getting back to his best.

Too many hit and miss games to be an elite champions league player ! He will go abroad and that’s the last we will hear of him 

 

Amarty was our rock yesterday !

The biggest difference I noticed between the two yesterday, was just how good Big Dan's positioning was, compared to Soy...
