If people think Tielemans is not good enough then yes, Leicester fans have become entitled. Tielemans is one of our best ever. ..yes he can be, sometimes he looks like a pub player!!! Not being entitled, calling it as it is. I have said it before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M0901 Posted 6 December 2020 Share Posted 6 December 2020 Tielemans is proof as to how far Leicester have come as a club in the last 5 years. He’s brilliant. Controls the game, has a great range of pass, and is mature beyond his years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosbehFox Posted 10 December 2020 Share Posted 10 December 2020 I love the lad to bits and refer to him with mates as the ‘main man’ but if he shows up the inconsistent form at a ‘bigger’ club, he won’t be in the team too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think his inconsistency is over exaggerated on here. A lot of the times he gets slated for having quieter performances, there's just absolutely **** all moving in front of him to find. A midfielder is only as good as the options around him. Moreover, his real strength is less carving out inch perfect, eye catching through balls (as good as those are when he pulls them off) and more just holding a good general grasp on the game. I remember saying it a lot last year and I stand by it, YT at 60% is still by far our best midfielder and one of the most important people on the pitch. We're so much worse off without him because he just controls everything. Often that kinda work is a little boring and low profile but it's vital. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree to extent as you can see when he's with Belgium, the reigns are off a bit and he can drive forward. I think one of the image things which holds back people's opinion of him is the absolute lack of acceleration, or certainly how it looks. As fans observing we don't see the pace of the game, more so we compare the pace of the players. The West Ham goal which made social media - it's about the 70th minute, Fornals has played on the wing - a lot less intense in a counter-attack situation can probably still clock a decent speed v Tielemans, played CM - burdening the threat to create a chance a 2-0 down.

I don't that anyone has an issue with his pace. Some of the best midfielders in history weren't that fast. Some weren't fast att all. Being a good midfielder requires you to have good stamina as you to cover a lot of area, but not speed. Xavi, Pirlo, Xavi Alonso, Iniesta are great examples of that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tielemans63 Posted 21 December 2020 Share Posted 21 December 2020 He was absolutely brilliant yesterday I thought. Nothing flashy but finds space so well and is always available for a pass. His movement was outstanding yesterday. As @Mawuli says, shame he blazed that chance over the bar, that was a shocking effort 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His movement isn't always the quickest but his football brain operates at a different speed to most other players in our squad. He's one of our players who can open up the opponents defence and players like that are hard to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the two guys he was up against, Sissoko and Hjobjerg; Youri has ten times the football intelligence of those two put together. Neither could get anywhere near him.

I think a better comparison would be with Ndombele, similar price/position/hype. Contrast between the two was huge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As another poster mentioned, Youri was around £32m, so around half of Ndombele. The contrast was night and day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
