Leicester City comprehensively pinned back Manchester United in their own half with three playing balling centre halves, clocking up over 30 passes, finishing with a superbly taken goal and eventually knocking Manchester United out of the FA Cup. I just wanted to type that out. Also, Youri's passing 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzFOX Posted 23 March 2021 Share Posted 23 March 2021 Youri is turning into a living legend already. The boy has matured beyond belief. Look at his leadership skills on the field. He's our quiet general. babyface he maybe but there's a warrior underneath the skin. He's also practically undroppable for the Belgian national team too. I get the feeling contracts are gonna get a boost this summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, I hadn't appreciated just how good that patient and divisive build up was. That's elite football against a bunch of farmers kind of thing. Superb. The person who said he's Cambiasso but with legs has nailed it. Frightening he's only 23 but with the experience and maturity of a player in his mid to late 20's in his prime. Just hope he doesn't burn out. Not many players come through at 16 and play nearly 50 games a season for 15+ seasons without it taking its toll. He is unbelievable 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't really appreciated how good it was at the time but my god our ball retention is exceptional. We have 10 outfield players who can all play. I wouldn't be surprised with this goal against far inferior teams but this is against a team above us in the league. I'm just worried about his stamina. He looked dead on his feet after a mere 10 mins against Arsenal. And as Ric said, he's been playing top level football since he was 16. It's not possible to play 50 games a season for 15 years without serious burnout. I hope he doesn't fall off a cliff in his late 20s like Rooney did. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitlock Posted 23 March 2021 Share Posted 23 March 2021 It really was a fantastic team goal, I didn’t appreciate it at the time watching it live. Looking back, Maguire I think should have intercepted the long ball to Kell, glad he didn’t. Youri really is our starman, get him locked down on a big new long contract!

Grebfromgrebland Posted 23 March 2021 Share Posted 23 March 2021 (edited) The quality of this move got no attention on the post match analysis. "Just a simple one - two" was the comment.

trabuch Posted 23 March 2021 Share Posted 23 March 2021 There was a lot of talk about how poor the Man U defence was for that goal. But they were pulled all over the place by a fantastic build up. And then Youri just pounced! Lovely to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of our recent successful teams have been built on direct football in some way (although the title winning team could knock the ball around nicely- see that one touch move v Liverpool) but this side is backed by some quality passing and movement. We are a joy to watch at times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is unbelievable Could have be me in the tactics thread where I compared Cambiasso and Youri or even Strider could have said it... and he isn't even close to the finished article yet. Glad people are starting to actually see the way Youri pulls the strings in our side in the entirety of the game rather than a spectacular highlight reels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we make the Cup final and he plays every game for us (plus three more for Belgium over this international break) he'll have reached 60.

Castagne does so well to retain the ball at the start. Great team move.

Absolute beast mode in that goal, running the channels, getting in behind, laying off the final pass, etc. Really sums up how much he's improved; it's not just his goals making a difference to our play. And yes you can tell 95% of commentators / pundits don't even watch our games. Easiest job on the planet really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
