Youri Tielemans

[Heymister2015 510]

First time I saw him was against England in the World Cup and he ran the show! Looked quality. Never thought he’d end up at Leicester

Youri is the Drinkwater of 2014/15 - when he plays well we play well. 

 

Great to see that he's clearly a leader on the pitch, too - something we've not always been blessed with at Leicester.

 

I think it’s more a case if we play well, he plays well, when we’re shit he goes hiding.

sorry, but yes Ndombele is better. Tielemans has some major flaws. He might still improve some of them. E.g., 1. He is slow 2. He is not a good defender, 3. He is not really a goal threat  (I hope he will improve this) 4. He is not good in the air  5. He is not a ball carrier.    He is a pure "distributer and disentangler" and really good at that, and he has strength.  With the right people around him he is very valuable.  He played a great match against the Spurs for sure, but that is one match. How was he against Everton?

Are you actually a Leicester fan?

Ndombele is a better player than Tielemans though. Spurs were shite yesterday but you wouldn’t say Barnes is better than Son because he was more involved in the game 

You are entitled to your opinion but I believe you are horribly wrong.  I'm not judging on yesterdays game. I'm judging on the last two seasons.

Youri plays the game incredibly. Rarely takes more than 2 touches and see's the pitch almost like he's sat in the stands. The only disappointing thing about him so far has been his shooting. I had always thought he was a bit of Gerrard/Lampard in that he had a good finish in him. He's very erratic though, much like Maddison.

 

I thought we'd be seeing this on a sem- regular basis

 

 

 

 

I have to agree. I remember watching the highlights videos when he signed on loan with us. There were numerous goals, plenty from outside te box. Obviously, in hindsight, they must've included every single one. Ever.

scored two long rangers for belgium this year already, fairly sure it is a thing at leicester about us minimising number of long shots we have - explains why we have such high shot conversion rate

Summary of Youri's performance in the game today:

 

 

What a class act!

[Fox92 12,050]

Our best player today.

[honeybradger 787]

Belgian iniesta, completely ran the show for the first 60 minutes, faded out of the game a bit but so did a lot of the team.

[Gevans_97 371]

his best performance in a Leicester shirt in my opinion. Especially first half. Fantastic footballer.

[StanSP 30,231]

Thought he controlled the game well and showed some nice touches and skill. He does well against a side like Utd when Ndidi is there as protection defensively. I like his playmaker role from deep.

 

Enjoying his performances so far this season 

[mo-rima 50]

Brilliant performance again. 

Maddison gone missing again 

[crisp packet 585]

Class .Need too get him on improved terms ASAP!

[foxfanazer 13,650]

What a player we have on our hands

[Corky 14,473]

Superb today and no doubt loving having Ndidi next to him. 

[Finnegan 27,219]

Genuinely, undisputably world class today. 

 

One of the best performances I've seen by a midfielder for this club. 

[casablancas 1,012]

Said it before and I’ll say it again ... another captains performance?

I thought the same until I read @themightyfin 's comment. Maddison was basically sat on, that gave Youri so much space to operate today.

This season he's been brilliant against Man City, Arsenal and Spurs away from hoe, and now brilliant against Man United at home. He did have an off day against Liverpool, but for me he's starting to hit the heights of what he can do because he's shown he can do it against the best clubs. For me he is the best midfielder in the division for what he does - getting the team playing from a deeper possession and if he has an off day, we usually lose.

 

Just wished I could be there to watch him play, he's a joy to watch.

[martyn 1,641]

Do not agree that Tielemans had loads of space today at all. A lot of the time, especially first half, he was under semi pressure and often had to use his body control and an immaculate first touch to end up making things look easy.

 

Very good performance from him.

[SemperEadem 2,834]

Looks well up to speed now. His best game for us.

[Crazy Kop Corner 548]

He was great today and showed all facets of his game. Saved Wilf on more than one occasion. The lad is a class act.

[Foxes BC 26]

There are not many better central midfield pairings than Ndidi and Tielemans at the moment.

Wrong spelling

[Marshall Cockney Fox 933]

He's the dogs @@££&@#£+!!! Best centre mid on the park. Controls everything.
