Caglar Soyuncu emerges as new cult hero at Leicester City

I think you’re seeing what you want to see because you think he’s a good defender, which he has been for the most part. However, Vestergaard, Bertrand and  Evans all found opportunities for forward passes so I can only assume you think our entire midfield stopped running when Soyuncu got the ball but started again when the other defenders were on the ball.

 

Resorting to calling people thick, by the way, suggests you’ve ran out of points to make.

Alternatively, there were times when Vestergaard and Bertrand played it back to Kasper, too...

 

I'll take back the 'thick' comment. I just found your logic a bit silly, and still do. Not because I'd ran out of points.

 

I don't for one second believe Soyuncu had a crisis of confidence just because he didn't pass forward (he did, just not as many times as you wanted him to).

Cags was fine, he’s an absolute warrior and that is his strength, but he needs a steady head along side him, that’s not saying Cags isn’t a good defender because he is, he is phenomenal, he just isn’t a leader, he still can’t speak English that well and he’s not a talker on the pitch. He’s the type of defender who will run through a brick wall to ensure he does what he can, does he have a mistake in him, yea he does, because of his style of play, but I wouldn’t change it for the world. I genuinely think some players fear playing against him, because he’s a crazy bastard who won’t think twice about kicking you. 
 

In terms of forward passing, why does he need to do it? He’s very capable with the ball at his feet, but Jannik is clearly a better passer of the ball, so Cags rightfully will look to play it to him, and then Vesty will be the one to look to play that ball into the midfield. 
 

No reason to be jumping on his back, as I’ve said in my opinion Dan Amartey and Cags go together as well as Marmite in a viccy sponge… as soon as Vesty came into the frame Cags looks so much better.

Living on a knife edge

[Guest Col city fan]

He’s become shite for some reason.

Looks like a fookin bomb-scare every time he plays recently 

[Claridge]

Dreadful at the moment, but got to play as Exans is injured again

[frany104]

Needs benching for his own good. Start Vestergard and Amartey and let Cags sit a few out 

[Vardinio'sCat]

[CosbehFox]

Understand the need to play him into form but I think it’s fair Amartey gets the spot

Am I really old and don't understand the youth of today, or has someone hacked Cag's Facebook account?? (I don't understand his comments on the Man U Facebook posts)

I saw him post Leicester are Kings (misspelt Leicester) under a Man City post earlier. While he's correct, I thought he would be able to spell Leicester correctly so assumed it might be a kid was pissing about on his facebook - has he got kids?

He's written "bum" under one post and "kings" under another Man U post....

Bum? What could he mean by that?

One of life's unsolvable mysteries, I suppose... Up there with "what's the colour of Rachel Riley's knickers" and "why do people support Tottenham Hotspur"

[st albans fox]

we need a 'stop to tell bullsh1t' on his account!

I was thinking exactly the same thing. Over the last couple of days he’s posted a few slightly weird replies to a number of posts.

He's at it again today I just noticed! Very odd 🤷‍♀️

His account has obviously been hacked

Leicester City and Turkey defender Caglar Soyuncu, 25, is on the radar ofReal Madrid. (DefensaCentral - in Spanish)

Does he mean bumkins?

[foxinsocks]

Bum is the Turkish way of saying "boom"

[Nalis]

For someone who is built like a unit, he doesn't seem to have much physical strength.  Bored of seeing him outmuscled by the opposition countless times.

[Bert]

Soyuncu isn’t built like a unit one bit  

[drumbeat]

Agreed. Cags is little for a big bloke.

 

And did he mean bum as a noun or a verb?

Agreed, he seemed to get “bullied” at times by Vydra which isn’t what you expect or want from a centre back who should be commanding.

 

More worrying for me was the long balls that he was getting caught under and going over his head. The corner for the first goal came from one of those … we’re playing Burnley, we know how they play, but he didn’t seem to be able to cope with it! Horribly out of form and lacking confidence at the moment.

[NewburyFox]

I personally think he's done fine the last few games, certainly not the defensive shambles that he started the season as. Can't be good playing next to Vestergaard, who is frighteningly bad.
