He is a thoroughly professional, quality player. I just don’t think he has it in him to face and conquer his biggest challenge.

 

Namely @Mark

 

It’s working so fair enough, seems to bring the best out of Tielemans to have him in the side. But clearly I don’t see the quality like others do, he works hard and is a neat and tidy passer which he often keeps safe, you need more in forward positions. Vardy never had a chance all game and it’s no surprise when you’ve no pace around you or proper support. I can understand his inclusion in attacking midfield more now against the better teams but hope he’s not going to be first choice against the rest now where a more creative player is needed, especially at home where we struggle for goals.

You must have watched a different game.

Everything good we did in that first half went through him, due to his quick one-twos and positive forward passes on the wings. It was the exact opposite to being "a neat and tidy passer which he oftens keeps safe" today. He was finding us so much space as a team through risky one-twos in tight spaces.

The reason we dropped off second half is because we couldn't get him into the game as much.

Youri is great, but Praet was much, much better and more important to us creatively than both Tielemans and Maddison today and nothing to do with him bringing the best out of Tielemans.

Hugely under rated.

[fox_favourite 445]

Very tidy player. Good in tight spaces and does some good running. A steady player. Our midfield looks quite settled and looks like it's working well this season.

Yeah, that’s all fair enough and he did play there a bit for Sampdoria I think. Guess we will have two (maybe 3 in Perez, but I hope not) different types of right sided AM. Where Under is the faster skilful  guy and Praet is the slower skilful blood and thunder type guy.

Very good in the first half. Seems to have developed a yard of pace 

[Corky 12,909]

One of those players who is noticed more when he isn't there. When Perez came in against West Ham the right side looked far more ineffective.

Dennis 🥰

[Vardinio'sCat 1,829]

I'm a big fan.

[foxes_rule1978 3,263]

We have so many good players now, such depth. Praet has really stepped in nicely 

[HighPeakFox 10,502]

Put in a belting cross for Vardy which frankly looked like Vards just missed. Some lovely link up play and control in tight areas.

O in your shirt so blue

Dennis Dennis we've got a crush on you

Dennis Dennis...

We're so in love with you ou ou!

[blaaklint 166]

I absolutely love the one-twos and round the corner passes he plays

[Dames 827]

Seems to have gotten stronger. Felt at times he was lightweight last season but this season he imposes himself a lot more. 
 

Key part of the team at the minute.

Surely his song should be the Blondie classic - Denis? I’ll get my coat

One way or another I'm going to get you.

Does he have a heart of glass?

[NewquayFox 645]

Good grafter, we certainly look a better team when him & Tielemans play together in the middle...

Great call and name. Stevie Lynex what a player he was!

One of the best wingers we have had. Only problem was having ran past about ten players, he would over hit his cross, with Smudger and Gaz waiting 

[berniethebolt 164]

I think the lads simply superb. Looks like hes bulked up quite a bit this season and the extra muscles helping his stregth and speed. One of those players those holds the mid together. Can shield the play if another goes as well as being smart enough to create on the front foot when hes in the roght areas.

So not only did we beat AC Milan to signing Fofana, but we also beat them to getting Praet too.

Not a chance we line up with that same personnel and formation vs Wolves on a regular basis, that was done purely counteract the horrible experiences we've had of playing Wolves under Nuno. It wasn't pretty but for once we got the 3 points vs them and we move on, we put out much more attacking sides vs them before and were even worse. 

 

This 3 at the back conundrum means we sacrifice at least one of Barnes, Ünder or Maddison which isn't great but right now without Ndidi and Ricardo I think it's probably the right thing to do, the table certainly suggests it is given the run of games we've had and steamrolled.

I had rebel rebel in my head when I read that effort

 

Now that I know it’s Blondie my mind is officially blown 💥!!!

Praet hasn't stronger or faster at age 26, sorry.  People are just realizing how good he's been all along.  Playing in position this season certainly helps.
