HitchinFox Posted 15 April 2023 Posted 15 April 2023 It's baffling how Ndidi has gone from being considered one of the best defensive midfielders in the Premier League to a complete donkey. Not sure how much Rodgers' "elite coaching" has to do with it, but, for me, Wilf's rapidly descending abilities are a microcosm of the club. Once revered and predicted to achieve great things, it's all gone rather pear-shaped for reasons no one can really identify. 1
SafewayFox Posted 15 April 2023 Posted 15 April 2023 Is it too simple to just suggest that a physical DM who isn’t naturally talented (has there been a worse passer in our PL history) is now rubbish due his body being broken? His lack of fight for that 50/50 against KDB for a DM was embarrassing. 2
TMELcfc Posted 15 April 2023 Posted 15 April 2023 I’ve not seen a player decline so quick… Soyuncu maybe for us, but we were terrible when he missed games through injury or suspension. Being linked to Utd Liverpool etc for big bucks… now, I don’t think I’d trust him playing centre mid in the championship.
phoneticerror Posted 15 April 2023 Posted 15 April 2023 Any of us could’ve seen he wasn’t worth starting. Now he’s directly responsible for 2 of the 3 goals. 1

South Shire Fox Posted 15 April 2023 Posted 15 April 2023 I dont think ive seen a Leicester player give away more penalties then him in his time here. Must of given away atleast 5 just from flailing arms alone. Hes never going to learn 2
kingfox Posted 15 April 2023 Posted 15 April 2023 It’s quite sad to see how far backwards he has fallen. From one of our most important players to a constant liability.
Lambert09 Posted 15 April 2023 Posted 15 April 2023 his whole game was about his aggressiveness and how quick his acceleration into a tackle was. But he’s lost his speed and without that he offers nothing to this team. We genuinely would be better off with hamza. Let’s hope smith sees this as clearly as we do and gets mendy in for the rest of the season 3

HankMarvin Posted 15 April 2023 Posted 15 April 2023 No tackles today spider legs is really not the same
Ross 'LCFC' Turner Posted 15 April 2023 Posted 15 April 2023 Brain dead, can’t pass a football, not comfortable with a football and becoming soft in the challenge all the perfect ingredients when playing in the 6 / CDM 🙄 1

Captain... Posted 15 April 2023 Posted 15 April 2023 I've always thought Ndidi only works as a 1 in a 4141 or 4132. He's not great positionally or on the ball, in this role he has license to hunt the ball doesn't have to be positionally minded and worry about occupying the same space as a midfield partner. Just win the ball and play a short forward pass to the more creative players in front of him. Whether that would work now or he's just finished as a Leicester player, I don't know, but he was magnificent for a good while.
sm1 Posted 15 April 2023 Posted 15 April 2023 Very poor performance to go with a really poor season, but I still haven't loss hope in him. I want to see him play under another coach and see how he develops and plays. Rodgers has history of destroying player confidence with his shit management.

K789 Posted 15 April 2023 Posted 15 April 2023 Listed as 26, but failed an age test. Maybe he's 29-30 but like the opens, Rooney etc. Simply done?
Adrian Posted 15 April 2023 Posted 15 April 2023 Puel recognised that mendy has more to offer in the premiership 1
Leicester_Loyal Posted 15 April 2023 Posted 15 April 2023 He’s been quite frankly pathetic for about 18 months now, baffles me how he’s still starting games. 4

It’s what makes me think that Rodgers must have sacked all the analysts as how his lack of performance doesn’t get picked up is madness. Surely every metric from obvious (tackles, interceptions etc) must be down before you even look at his KM covered, top speed etc. His body stopped working like it did previously, all that time ago IMO. 2
