berniethebolt Posted 27 January 2021 Posted 27 January 2021 Amazing engine, often kicks of the attacking phase, often drops deep to release defensive pressure of playing our from the back. Hes simply everywhere. Hes absolutely essential to the teams matrix right and id argue he can not be replaced. 1
foxfanazer Posted 27 January 2021 Posted 27 January 2021 (edited) Youri Tielemans plays for us! Find it hard to believe sometimes Edited 27 January 2021 by foxfanazer
Heymister2015 Posted 27 January 2021 Posted 27 January 2021 He’s on another level to Bruno Fernandes. Put him on pens like him and he’d have 15 goals already. His class is effortless 1
LCCFox96 Posted 27 January 2021 Posted 27 January 2021 In terms of technical ability and dictating the pace of a game from CM, Tielemans is different gravy to anything we've ever had. When he's at the top of his game his performances are absolutely dripping in class. He's taken his all round contribution to the team to another level this season and has become indispensable if we are to hit top gear in a match. 4

Koke Posted 27 January 2021 Posted 27 January 2021 On his,way to collect player of the season award in May. Vision, passing, technical ability, high football IQ. Man got everything.
CrispinLA in Texas Posted 27 January 2021 Posted 27 January 2021 Saved us again today, we can always rely on him.
TrickyTrev Benjamin Posted 27 January 2021 Posted 27 January 2021 I thought the last 20 mins his passing was lazy. He gave the ball away so many times. He’s a great player and probably very tired having played so many games but he looked very leggy towards the end. Just worries me now that praet is out we have no option to rest youri. We need to keep him fresh. 1
ARTY_FOX Posted 27 January 2021 Posted 27 January 2021 Hes the best player we've had imo. He's so so good.
Daz93 Posted 27 January 2021 Posted 27 January 2021 (edited) Completely running the team at the minute and so mature in everything he does going both ways. Ndidi might be out but we'd have the biggest problem we've had all season if we lost Youri at any point. Edited 27 January 2021 by Daz93
foxile5 Posted 27 January 2021 Posted 27 January 2021 He's so young too. It's baffling that we have him, really. So much going for him. The fact none of the big, big boys went in for him is unreal; basically no gamble at all signing him when we did.
coolhandfox Posted 27 January 2021 Posted 27 January 2021 He's best PL goals tally so far and we are only 20 games in, 5 goals would be amazing as a deep playmaker if he gets 10.
Nicolo Barella Posted 28 January 2021 Posted 28 January 2021 He's not perfect, as shown by when he switched off for their goal, but he was superb again today.
PhillippaT Posted 28 January 2021 Posted 28 January 2021 Not all of his through passes work, but when they do...
Grebfromgrebland Posted 28 January 2021 Posted 28 January 2021 Need to get that new contract sorted as soon as possible! He's definitely going to have suitors with deep pockets in the summer.
ronnup Posted 28 January 2021 Posted 28 January 2021 He's the core of our team and everything we do that's good. We've started dictating the pace of games and this is all down to him. Wilf let's him play. New contract until 2030 a must

Bit harsh there. Not alot he can do in all honesty also, fofana made it far to easy for him to skip past and Evans could quite easily come a few yards forward. If that happens the shot doesn't happen.

Yep, even Savage said in commentary 'Ndidi and Tielemans couldn't be seen' in defending the goal. Of course half of that is right with Ndidi's missed interception further up the pitch but Tielemans was there, only a few yards away. However, there's no way Tielemans can guess that it'd ricochet off Fofana like that and drop straight to Rodriguez and get so close to him before the shot is made. 3
CosbehFox Posted 28 January 2021 Posted 28 January 2021 A footballer's footballer. He's a different class
Koke Posted 28 January 2021 Posted 28 January 2021 Luka Modric is 35 years old. Brace yourselves for a bid coming in the summer from Real Madrid.

I think Tielemans assumed Fofana would control it like he would do 9 times out of 10, so he moves into space to receive the pass from Fofana. Can't really blame him for that as Rodgers always preaches about expecting his players to play with bravery. But if we were 1-0 up, I would expect him to track James' until we have control of the ball / possession. 1

It wasn't all on him, absolutely I agree, but he did switch off for a second which let Rodriguez slip past him. Not putting it all on him though, that would be too harsh.
UHDrive Posted 28 January 2021 Posted 28 January 2021 "Future captain’, ‘quality’: Some Leicester fans hail £33k-a-week man’s display v Everton" This is the boot rooms headline today and yeah even though it's from them it sums up what I've been saying for a while. Youri had those fitness issues in that first season but this season he really has been relentless in controlling the tempo and rhythm of every game while scoring more goals than last season in the process. He has probably played more games than most players this season too. His demeanour seems to say he loves where he is right now and I'm surprised we haven't tied him down sooner given than he has just 2 years left on his contract. I guess we'll know what's happening to him in his future over the next 6 months.
