The 2010s: Leicester City’s team of the Decade

[Guest Eamonn]

Add Chillwell and Tielemans for Fuchs and Drinkwater.

 

Can this be set up as a poll? I don't know how to do that but it would be interesting to see where we landed collectively.

Feel like a lot of people are bitter. For me though two years is too little time for a team of the decade.

Regardless, he was never anywhere near as good as Huth and Morgan were in our title winning season.

 

I don't think that's bitterness, he simply wouldn't get in this side, regardless of whether we include longevity or not.

Go back to my posts on here, I'm not bitter, I never saw Maguire as this solid defender other people made him out to be. He used to make similar mistakes to Morgan but they'd get glossed over because it was Maguire.

 

Evans is better than Maguire and Soyuncu has that pace to get us out of trouble more (I remember conceding at Huddersfield when Maguire got turned and couldn't recover). Huth was indispensable to us in terms of staying up and then winning the league and Morgan was also solid when we won the league (well, two leagues).

 

 

 

Solid? He was the best defender in the country! Honestly, think people are forgetting just how good Morgan was in the title-winning side - he was better than Huth (not taking anything away from Huth's performances) who had a slow start to the season.

I would include Huth as well over him. I just find it slightly funny that a few months ago he was the best thing since sliced bread, now he struggles to get a complement on here.

Much to be said for picking the title winning XI, but where’s the fun in that?! The current side is significantly better anyway, it just happens to be competing against two outstanding teams. 

 

Going for Puel & Brendan’s 4141:

 

Kasper

 

Ricardo

Evans

Huth

Fuchs (just! Chilwell now better than Fuchs other than 15/16)

 

Ndidi

 

Mahrez (wouldn’t have him back, but the most skilful player I’ve ever seen in a blue shirt)

Tielemans

Maddison

Albrighton (might have to swap with Mahrez to help protect Ricky!) 

 

Vardy

Wasn’t being bitter or gloating about it, just feeling joyful that we have a player valued that highly in the wider football world that comes roughly 5th in our ‘best centre back of the decade’ list...

Surely Michael Lamey in at right back and Leon Crnic for Futacs!

First ever visit, and don't know if I'll ever be in Ealing again, but it had some great beers on
