Thought madders was brilliant in that interview...

 

loved the “were Leicester city”... comment too 

[Aesc]

So glad he scored the equaliser, imagine how he'd be if we'd lost!

He scored a great header and had a good second half. He may be gutted now but he didn't seem to let it affect his performance too much.

Hope he stays with us for years, seems a great lad and he's a top quality player.

[Frost]

The passion when he scored was unreal. That's what it's all about. 

 

Still forget he's so young too because of the amount of experience he's racked up.

[RowlattsFox]

I think he knows he gets some stick from fans for his passing so hes desperate to prove he can play there. Frustrating at times but I love the guy. 

[Guest Mee-9]

You could see how much it meant to him. 

 

What a player. 

[lgfualol]

Damn respect went through the roof during that interview. Class player hope he doesnt let him affect him, I am sure he will come back stronger.

Yeah I loved that. He came right up to the away end and went absolutely nuts. I kind of wished we saw more of that, because those sort of celebrations really make Football special. Vardy getting the Premier League record, King scoring on title winning day, Knocky scoring against Watford in the game after deeney day, etc.

[Bezzanator89]

His dejected demeanour just proved how much he cared about the result and regardless that he scored the equaliser, he was still trying not to think about his contribution towards Chelsea's early goal. This club obviously means a lot to him and that's great to see.

 

Just got to put it behind him and learn from the experience, and look to the next game against the Blades. Just the attitude we look for in a player. Rodgers will for sure be focusing on getting his chin up quickly so he doesn't lose his confidence on the ball.

[HybridFox]

Superb comeback from that mistake, totally redeemed himself. Would love to see more goals from Wilf this season

[brucey]

Rather than faffing about with fancy corner routines now that Maddison no longer has a slab to aim at, surely we should just aim them at Wilf instead? Fairly tall and with a massive leap on him, he’ll probably score just as many.

[PaulW]

Loved the phrase Wilf used in his LCFC post match interview, - "we're not here just to compete, we're here to contend".  Brilliant!

[LCFCSOULBOY]

Immense today, was easily my man of the match. 

[urban.spaceman]

This interview:

 

 

Extremely humble.

Extremely proud.

 

What a player. 

[Crazy Kop Corner]

He’s clearly genuinely  disappointed with their first goal - how can you have a go at this lad, after this reaction and to be fair no one did around where I was in the top tier. Maddison clearly has huge character as well. He was fantastic with little Sophie and looks to look after Wilf here - looks like a potential future captain to me.

Couldn’t agree more. I’m really impressed with madders during that interview, proper club player. 

 

Im sure the fans will get behind wilf against Sheffield United.

[dayday]

I like it when a player genuinely cares,  but why did he Cup his ear?, was our fans getting on to him ?

I didnt hear anything and I’d be surprised as Wilf is extremely popular.

[Tom12345]

I have to say as a critic of the use of Ndidi last year, he is winning me over this season (for me it is never personal but about whether someone should play or how the coach should get the best out of the players he has and make the team work effectively).  Yes it is only 2 games in, but the accuracy of his tackling has gotten even better (reduced his foul count) and he is improving other aspects as well, which is the main thing. I will continue to criticise his selection if I feel there is a better option in a particular setup, but in any event I hope he continues to improve.

[Sol thewall Bamba]

One of the most likeable characters in the squad imo. Beast. 

[Blue ROI]

It was a big mistake by Wilf but I would cut him some slack. We would have ended up conceding anyway with that onslaught. Let's move on.

 

Great goal though. We were reliant on Maguire for that type of thing the whole of last season and it never really worked.

[Claridge]

Rodgers asks too much from him. Wilf should never be collecting the ball off the defence never ever ever ever never. Push him up and let Youri, Maddison etc... have it. 

[Tielemans63]

This is why it drives me mad when some fans absolutely slate our players when they make a mistake like that. I don't expect our players to be perfect but I do expect them to care and it's clear to me that they absolutely do care - a lot. Wilf epitomised that yesterday.

 

Madders had a brilliant second half but he too was very self-critical about the chance he missed and also showed a level of humility when he talked about needing to work harder to score more goals. Those fans claiming he loves himself / he's too arrogant may want to listen to that interview.

On one hand I agree with you but to play devil's advocate for a moment, how can players improve if you don't stretch them? Challenge them? Get them out of their comfort zone? I think BR has been pretty open about the fact that they will make mistakes because he's trying to develop their game which is what a good coach does. To be fair to Brodge he did take the blame post-match too.
