Clueless fox might be more of an apt name. Were you watching last night. Surprise surprise again 3 at the Back and Maddison when he came on playing in front of Youri again. Keep watching and learning. Me been their and done that. I can see how the team is evolving, and looking better all the time. We'll go with 3 when we're taking the game to the opposition and 4 in other games. It depends who you are playing. Enjoy the games, I know I am.

JamesfromlondonLCFC Posted 3 November 2020 Share Posted 3 November 2020 Honestly really enjoying him. Gotta remember Ndidi is one of our best players, some people would argue is our best player. But Papy has been so good I don't think Wilf walks back into the team. Which is insane. Its kind of like how, if we had a proper left back, castagne might be in with a chance of keeping Ricky P out.

Wortho Posted 3 November 2020 Share Posted 3 November 2020 I think Mendy has been absolutely brilliant this season and has performed beyond what I expected. He never seems to misplace a pass or miss a tackle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_Loyal Posted 3 November 2020 Share Posted 3 November 2020 Wilf will be eased back in anyway, so they'll be plenty of games wheere he'll get minutes in, plus we'll have the FA cup soon as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haywood_6 Posted 3 November 2020 Share Posted 3 November 2020 Exceeded expectations so far this season. I used to think he was average but now he's probably one of my first names on the team sheet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGLCFC Posted 3 November 2020 Share Posted 3 November 2020 The best thing about the form that Mendy is in, is that there is no need to take unnecessary risks with Ndidi and rush him back. Mendy and to a certain extent Armarty, before his injury, have been like 2 new signings. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Post Horn Galloper Posted 3 November 2020 Share Posted 3 November 2020 Dead right. We had been looking at him for quite some time when he was at Nice. I couldn't see why. Now I can! He is priceless at being able to keep possession when all around are losing it. He's part of the well-oiled engine of the team and we drop him at our peril! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaspa Posted 3 November 2020 Share Posted 3 November 2020 Ridiculously good in the first half lastnight. Was doing everything you want from a midfield engineman, defence & attack he was everywhere tying it all together. I'll happily eat my own words again saying we could've improved on him with someone like William Carvalho. Papy fits in so nicely with Youri & Praet, having that French connection is probably another reason Fofana has settled in so fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Oxlong Posted 3 November 2020 Share Posted 3 November 2020 His attitude appears to have been spot on throughout his time with us. When not picked you get the sense that he carried on working hard without complaining and gave his all when picked Delighted that he’s now shining with this extended run of games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazarron fox Posted 3 November 2020 Share Posted 3 November 2020 He is very similar to Kante obviously not that good certainly in our winning season no one could follow that but he is becoming a very intelligent player and very much part of the DNA of the squad. We asked questions of him and he has more than delivered top quality lately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddison did come one ahead of Youri, but we still had 3 centre backs and two wing backs , not 1 centre back and two wide strikers like you were suggesting the other day. I think what you think you're seeing and what's actually happening are very different things. And maybe tone down the talking down to people, especially when you're wrong.

That line up clueless Fox named was surely a joke? No fullbacks or wingbacks and 3 at the back? Or 1 cb and 2 full backs for plan B maybe? Utter madness Clueless Fox you really had a mare there.

Blue ROI Posted 3 November 2020 Share Posted 3 November 2020 (edited) He was tarred with the same brush as our disastrous signings of Summer 2016 but he was crocked in his first game and lost almost 2 seasons after. I've always said that he has got a raw deal from the fans but I can't say I ever I expected him to be as good as he has been this season. Long may it last.

Popular Post Babylon Posted 8 November 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 8 November 2020 What a giant this lad has been. Ndidi has been so important to us over the last few years and the stats said if he was out we struggled. For Mendy to step up like he has and potentially add even more to the team is such an unexpected bonus. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Analysethis Posted 8 November 2020 Share Posted 8 November 2020 No one could have foreseen that we would even try to persuade this little midfield maestro to stay but credit to Rodgers for seeing something in him and persuading him to stay. He has been class. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M0901 Posted 8 November 2020 Share Posted 8 November 2020 He’s just the epitome of composure. Doesn’t seem to get flustered and keeps things ticking. Also noticed he has the occasional burst forward too. What a turnaround! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manini Posted 8 November 2020 Share Posted 8 November 2020 Solidified himself as one of my new favourites. Mr dependable in the tackle and winning the ball back, but he can play ball too. What a man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
