Youri Tielemans

[CrispinLA in Texas]

Biggest mistake we made was not selling him last summer, we could have got double or triple how we will get him now.

Last summer I wanted him to be at Leicester forever a legend, but this season he's been abysmal. Hindsight is a wonderful thing

[KingsX]

I was so struck with his poor passing today I looked up the stats.  Yikes. 

 

But I disagree with those saying he’s not arsed.  IMO he will always veer from poor to sublime because of his limited athleticism.  He’s never going to be much at advancing via (or defending) the dribble.  So his game is based on high-risk, high-reward long passing.  Lately he keeps attempting Hollywood balls to teammates who aren’t even making the runs.

 

Put him in a top side which can cover more of his weaknesses, and play him less than 55 games a year, and again he’ll be a hell of a producer.  That side isn’t LCFC, as he (and we) have already figured out.

 

We’ve had our money’s worth and may at least get back what we paid for him.  Plus a certain trophy.  Thanks Youri, and please head to a European league -- best for you and for us.

There's absolutely no chance we're recuperating £40mil for him.

[Always Next Year]

Another crap game

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

There was a bit today where he didn’t get the ball after a coming together and he gave up, stood still and shrugged his shoulders. Not good enough.

 

I agree, if he’s not signing a new contract - why play him? Quite clear he doesn’t want to be here.

[FoxInTheBirstallBox]

Why has it taken people are long to realise this this guy hasn't given a hoot all season. 

Please just **** off youri. Wasting the fans and the players time with this shit

[Bezzanator89]

We're not even going to be able to sell him with performances like today, and virtually the entirety of this season. Certainly not getting £40m, think clubs are watching and may well turn their attentions elsewhere.

So many times he did this. Did exactly the same with a slightly over hit pass which he could definitely have gotten to. 

[ARTY_FOX]

I wouldn't want to play in this system either to be fair. 

[foxinsocks]

Youri is a great player... onenof the best.

But his performances in the last few months have bern crap.

He should not have played today... wait... he didnt 

[HybridFox]

The ball that was played and he just couldn't be arsed to run for it and let it go for a goal kick, summed him up this season tbh

[Countryfox]

Head gone ..  move on ..

[Guest Col city fan]

I love Tielemans. He’s the sort of player that can run games when on form

It’s clear he wants out and I’m sure he’ll go in the summer. His head hasn’t been at Leicester for months. 

[Countryfox]

Quick glance at the Arse score ..  ooooo ..  European football for me ! 

[Guest Mee-9]

Absolutely shocking performance today.

 

He shouldn't be in the starting line up at all. 

[Guest Lcfc82]

I like Youri and he’s been very good for us during his time here but it’s clear he’s ready to move on now. 
I wouldn’t select him in the squad again this season and give games to the players that will be here next season.

[TrentFox]

If rumours of £40m to Arsenal are even close to the mark we should be biting by their hand off. 

[hejammy]

He is the weak link in our team both defensively and offensively. Defensively he loses the ball way to easily (yes I know a player of his type will lose the ball more often that others due to the type of pass, but he also gets caught in possession way too easily) and then he does nothing to get the ball back, just flaps his arms every time and looks up at the sky. Offensively I can't remember the last time he played a decent pass to unlock the defense. 

The problem is we over rely on him for that creative spark (esp when madders isn't playing) and he fails to give it. Its often like playing with a man down. He needs to be dropped from the team immediately.

Then why persist in playing him? He’s a liability for us at the moment. Passing crap. Lacks pace. Doesn’t close down. I’d sooner play those who are going to be here next season or blood some of the youngsters. 

[Rossiter]

Does BR keep playing Youri to keep him in the shop window? Maybe he will score or put a defence splitting pass in or two,get sold and get BR the money to rebuild. Maybe why Perez had resurfaced. No sales no rebuild.

Unbelievably bad today. But KDH was not much better. 

KDH gets leniency considering the position he was asked to play. Stupidly. 

[Foxin_Mad]

Absolute horrific performance today, there's not arsed and not arsed to a new level, pathetic.

He's still in his "local golden boy, can do no wrong" phase, so people won't call out that atrocious performance from him for what it was. But he absolutely wasn't much better than Tielemans today, which is saying something.

[Incognito]

He checked out ages ago. He's gave us some wonderful performances but this season, in the main, he's been poor.

 

Take the money and reinvest.

[Corky]

Very poor today. He needed a rest for the European games if they were so vital but tiredness wasn't the excuse out there.
