Luke Thomas

He has done well to score this season with zero threat going forward. 

 

Thought he was OK tonight, better than some of our more established players. 

Happy was exaggerating obviously but saying he was OK is clearly going too far the other way and giving him a free pass just because he's a young kid.

 

He may be a good player in the future but it's clear he's nowhere near ready to be playing PL football yet.

Your memory is worse than that of a gold fish. He's proven he can put in delicious crosses and make good runs into the box.

Have a go in the Vardy thread instead of making a sarcastic comment like that about one of our up and coming talents.

Don't think he'll make it here tbh

To play near the top of the prem OK isn't good enough. What I was saying is he was OK where as the majority of our team weren't even ok. 

 

I wouldn't give him a free pass for being young as I'm sure he wouldn't want that either. He needs to improve his performance but you could say that all of them really tonight.

Guys all I’m saying luke Thomas is clearly not ready for this level 

 

I am baffled by the people say he is

What on earth are you on about? Maybe read it again? Or have you quoted the wrong person?

He wasn't great and was arguably better on Monday despite his wayward passing.
Tonight he stopped a certain goal early on with an important interception, but his ball control along with a few others was terrible. Wonder if something was up with the pitch or the ball, because it seems very uncharacteristic for the squad.

Not sure how he’s playing over Fuchs?

[RowlattsFox]

He was much better with Barnes in front of him. Needs some help. Castagne has the same problem on the left. Occasionally Vardy is an option in the channel but noone offers him any link up play.

Fuchs would be even worse.

Pretty sure you said this nonsense: "He has done well to score this season with zero threat going forward" which is what I reacted to.

I mean he doesn't even get on the bench anymore and has played 15 minutes of football in 2021, so that probably tells you at what point of his career Fuchs is in

[splinterdream]

Thomas defensively looked okay today but with 3 at the back his attacking efforts were not there unfortunately, one for the future hopefully.

I was quoted the plank above that said he has created zero threat going forward. 

 

To score a goal you've created a threat that's what I was saying.

My apologies then, it didn't come across from your post

You seem like you couldn't wait to get in this thread to have a go at him

 

As soon as the full time whistle goes you are straight in here first poster to talk about how crap the lad is

 

Yet absolutely nothing about how poor other players have been

Fuchs? Albrighton must be shaking his head in disbelief at his non-selection.

It's OK you don't need to apologies. I'm a big fan of us bringing youth through. Seem to remember similar posts about Chillwell when he broke into the team. 

 

One thing that grinds my gears is when one player just gets ripped apart when the whole team don't perform. It's like some posters on here have to have a scapegoat.

Because Luke is the biggest weak link in the team. I know it harsh and he one of our own but our team suffer massively with Luke in the team.

But you play Albrighton you have to move Castagne. His best performance of the season was last in the last two games on the right.

He wasnt tonight. 

[Langston]

Perfectly fine defensively, just being asked to do a little too much when playing as a wing-back. It's tricky for Rodgers as neither Castagne nor Ricardo seem to look half as good out on that side (Castagne is admittedly very capable on the left) and it's where we're really missing Justin.

 

Of all those starting tonight, I don't begrudge Thomas playing safe passes and keeping it simple.

Dunno why people are so hyper sensitive to it. 

 

We have 13 or 14 players who'd make all but 10 or 15 teams in Europe. Whereas Luke Thomas would be, at best,  a routine full back in the championship. Which is pretty impressive for a boyish 19 year old. But not enough for elite level football 

[Webbo]

He wasnt to blame tonight, we don't need to single out individuals.

[The_77]

I didn’t see Luke Thomas give up a bad foul that led to the goal, miss big chances, or fire listless shots from 30 yards, and I didn’t see many players in blue who were much better than him tonight. 

Lay off the kid.
