Surely a bit of shooting practice would do him the world of good? I'm sure he's capable of atleast getting them on target, just needs to stop leaning back so much when he strikes the ball. Ndidi must've taken my advice, didn't lean back and bang, gets himself a goal 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casablancas Posted 20 January 2021 Share Posted 20 January 2021 He’s pure talent. He could genuinely go anywhere he wanted to at this point, he’s that good. How do you begin to even think about replacing him? He has somehow come back better, he’s winning the ball back huger up the pitch, noticed him pressing close to Vardy on occasions - really quite high up the pitch. He is pure sauce and we should enjoy him for al long as we can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col city fan Posted 20 January 2021 Share Posted 20 January 2021 I don’t think there’s any mileage in comparing Wilf to Mendy. Wilf is the better player. But Mendy has proven himself to be a dependable back up who came into the side when needed and did a great job. I hold my hands up and admit Mendy is a better player than I thought he was. Regarding Ndidi, he’s probably the best at what he does in the Premiership. He was always a little raw but he’s come back and is looking a more accomplished player 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sol thewall Bamba Posted 20 January 2021 Share Posted 20 January 2021 He is rocketing towards the top of my favourite ever player list. He's an absolute machine and such a likeable guy to boot. Him and Youri are the perfect midfield pair. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koke Posted 20 January 2021 Share Posted 20 January 2021 I was worried that when Rodgers came Ndidi would struggle with us having 65-70% possession since his passing wasn't great. His passing had improved signing. Great player. Can't think of a better CDM in the league. Fernandinho perhaps but he is 35 and is declining. Fabinho and Ndidi are the two best CDMs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zealot Posted 20 January 2021 Share Posted 20 January 2021 He was massive yesterday. The amount of times he got stuck in and won the ball and shut down their attacks was just beautiful. I even think that Wilf is getting up there now to be just as good in that holding role as the mighty Kante himself. As others have said he's come on leaps and bounds since his return from injury... That partnership with Tielemans just gets better and better too. Lost count of the number of times this happened yesterday and against Southampton: Wilf wins the ball -> gives it to Youri -> Youri sets up an attack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfox Posted 20 January 2021 Share Posted 20 January 2021 He is the second most important player in our team, results and stats prove that. Since he returned we’ve only lost one game, that was at home to Everton, when we had to play him out of position at CB. Mendy did an excellent job when he had to step in, Wilf though is clearly on another level, he is one of the most important players in our side and when it comes to defensive midfielders, he is one of the best in World Football in that position.

PhillippaT Posted 20 January 2021 Share Posted 20 January 2021 Slowly but surely this team is improving, (the only player who seems to be struggling atm is Vardy! ), and this midfield combo of Ndidi and Tielemans, IMO, is probably the best we've ever had, if not close to it. If both of them start scoring goals more often, too, then... Hopefully Ndidi has levelled up his long shooting/finishing stats, now, and has figured out how to keep it down, consistently 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plastik Man Posted 20 January 2021 Share Posted 20 January 2021 He's definitely returned from injury a better player. Still incredible defensively, but now he's looking so much better passing and moving forwards too. There was a couple of times against Southampton he turned with the ball, beat a man and passed it forwards. That's definitely something he's added. Great attitude too. What a player! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Blue-fox Posted 27 January 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 27 January 2021 If it’s a tight hamstring and nothing more, no need to risk him at the weekend. Mendy is more than capable as he has shown this season and this evening. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
