It's funny you would say that, because we haven't seen better linking for... i think... ever? I've only been going to OHL games since 15 years or so, but in that time, i have never seen any OHL squad do a better job. Considering this is for the most part the same team as last years, the difference is night and day.

 

To be clear, i'm specifically talking about the link up play. We've had flashier countering squads, more dominance in the box, even a better through-ball... but specifically linking? I don't think so.

I can’t disagree with that as I said they played well I just thought there was a few times in and around the penalty area where the final pass was not completed so a chance was missed, it wasn’t to suggest they were poor with their link up play overall. LCFC have the same problem some great link up play until they get to the box.

 

i enjoyed the game as well and I’ve not said that very often about LCFC recently.

Oh, my comment wasn't a dig at you, hope you didn't take it the wrong way. I simply meant it's already better than i can remember. So we haven't been spoiled (spoilt?) in the past.

I didn't take it as a dig, it's just football chat, sometimes hard to do in writing without writing a whole essay. Likewise i wasn't trying to be overly critical.

 

We're good.

Both versions work fine but most will use "spoilt", your English is excellent better than many posters on Foxestalk.

Looks like Sowah and Iversen both played well. Great result for OHL!

Iversen did really well. He looks very confident. I can really see why Leicester thinks he can replace Schmeichel in a couple of years. Lots of potential!

 

Sowah has been nothing short of amazing. He has realy flourished under the new manager, who plays him more as a CAM instead as a winger. I really had my doubts about him in the past, but now he's one of our best players. If he keeps developing like this he may one day be good enough for Leicester's squad.

Only 20 as well

 

Contract runs out next summer so I wouldn’t be surprised to see him joining you “permanently” at some point before then

 

Then if he does continue to develop he will probably join us for an undisclosed fee

What has happened to Maertens? Saw he started on the bench today. Hasn't he been (one of) the best player at your club over the past couple of seasons?

So glad to see Iversen getting the games at the right level to keep him developing.

 

This feels like the point where the tie between the clubs is starting to produce real benefit.  In both directions.

Maertens has been injured for the last couple of weeks. This was his first game back but he only trained with the team for a few days last week. Definitely one of our best and most consistent players over the last seasons. With 2-3 more incoming players expected, we will have a very good bench also. No luxury with all the injuries we have already endured.

Yes, like Leuven has said, he has been very important for us the past 3 seasons (how time flies). He got injured the first half of the first game of the new season. I expect him to fight his way back into the squad. He is a very intelligent player, he also appears to have 3 sets of lungs.

Just checked the table. Positive start hopefully a place in Europe next year. :vardy:

That seems overly optimistic and might even be detrimental in the long run.

Sowah looks to have a very good first touch and turn of pace. I think he'll need another 2 seasons in Belgium after this to apply for Belgian residency, although if Ghana call him up soon a work permit might be more obtainable within the next year.
