Maddison

[UniFox21]

Highlighted this in the match thread, but he's very cleverly picking up those positions inbetween the lines and isn't getting caught out wide in no mans land. 

Some great body feints, just need to work on his set pieces 

[Blue and white]

I want a ref would give him a yellow for walking as slow as he can over to corners, getting out of hand

[Nick]

He for me is playing too far back in today’s formation.

He used to infuriate me doing this in his first season. Often when we were losing. He has improved on this generally....

Madison is back from injury...but now he has a decision to make.

He is Mike's behind grealish in his ability to get an end product and influence a game.

He needs to stop slowing games by garnering fouls  and shift the ball. He needs to mix ip his pass dribble shoot options to keep defe ders guessing.

He needs to spend time with a coach looking at his decisions  . Freeze the video... consider the options.. pick the best... and then he see what did.  This way he will learn his biases.

He's been excellent the past few games. Not sure what you're talking about.

 

His ability to turn on his first touch or quickly wriggle his centre of gravity in the opposite direction is as good as I've ever seen from a Leicester player.

Yes, there's a lot to be said for learning one's biases.

Congratulations mate, you have just invented video analysis. The club will be in touch shortly with a job offer, I expect.

That genuinely made me  at 05:58. Now I am sending the mrs over as she is fuming   26 years old and if she don’t get 10 hours unbroken ... run for the Fcuking hills. So if you kindly hand over your address she will be round shortly to berate you for making me giggle at such an ‘ungodly hour’

You’ve had a bit of a ‘mare

[Danny Clender]

I'm so glad the A celebration was explained, I always thought it was a new celebration for an assist, which is utterly daft considering it's done after scoring. 

[Royston.]

The sooner Maddison improves and becomes "the real deal" the sooner he leaves for a "big" club.

The Maddison we have now is still a key player for a club that is hopeful of regular top 4 finishes.

 

I could say similar for all our best players,

We will be lucky to hold onto Fofana for another season.

Barnes is still raw but will already be on the radar of the big names.

If ndidi wasnt injured he'd probably go for 100M in january!

Exceptions are vardy due to his age and schmeichel who probably knows he wont be first choice for anyone better than us!

 

We're still a long, long way from being able to keep hold of top class players, if ever.

Fock me there must be something you can take to get rid of this pessimism.

Whilst the keeping hold of top players may be true, the fact is, as each season passes, we are adding more and more top players to our ranks.  This in turn means that if we stick to our formula of only letting one go a season, it will start to have less and less of an effect overall.

 

And also, there is no Premier league team that can hold on to class players if Madrid, Barcelona etc come calling.  

 

We are doing the right things slowly.  Christ, I mean, even if I take the blue tinted specs off, our defence in Kasper, Ricardo, Evans, Fofana, Soyuncu and Castagne is in the top 10 in world football, possibly higher.  

 

We will lose a player a season, and each time it will sting.  But if we carry on like we are doing, it will have less and less of an effect each time.

No we're not. Vardy turned down Arsenal to stay here, and he's the best striker in the league. 

 

We sell on our terms and we always will. We're already in a position where there is probably only a dozen clubs on Earth that are a bigger draw than we are, and that list is shrinking.

[CrispinLA in Texas]

And he was disappointed he wasn't picked to play for England last week (same with Barnes) I wonder why? he's no Jack Grealish.

[SecretPro]

Definitely not getting in the England team against some of the other young lads.

[twister]

 

 

 

Maddison is at a key point, does he want to be a ok player or a top class player its up to him, he has to get stronger fitter and better, he has a short window on this.

to be kinder earlier reaction wasn't as kind.

[matty98]

He's lost that bit of tenacity that he seemed to have in his game in the first half of last season.

He clearly has the ability to a top player but needs to get involved more and force his way into games when the ball isn't falling to him normally.

Has the ability to play for England but showed tonight he lacks the mentality, lacked any bottle and played like a scared rabbit.

 

look at Grealish in comparison he has gone up miles in levels from last year

He's a key player and a very good one for us. He needs to keep working on his game though and toughen up a bit to get to the levels Grealish has. 

[Tielemans63]

The guys playing deeper than him weren't pressing or winning the ball so he never really received the ball in advanced areas. Zinedine Zidane would have struggled to get anything going in our midfield today. The whole team bar Kasper and JJ were shit so it's a bit unfair to question his mentality imho.
