Popular Post RowlattsFox 2,227 Posted 30 November 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted 30 November 2020 We managed him when we were compact, completely exposed him tonight. Can't see how he stayed on and Thomas went off 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He’s been a good servant but this game is the first time I thought he looked past it. Against a poor Fulham team as well Thought they played quite well myself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Babylon 28,519 Posted 30 November 2020 Report Share Posted 30 November 2020 Pointless slagging players like him off. As someone else said, he should be there to play on the odd occasion and not start three games in a week. You can't plan for losing a whole backline and a DM like we have this season.

Lcfc82 82 Posted 30 November 2020 Report Share Posted 30 November 2020 To be fair to him, even he wouldn’t of thought he would have played the amount of games he has this season. He’s supposed to be a back up player. The annoying thing is there was no need to play him tonight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gubbins 325 Posted 30 November 2020 Report Share Posted 30 November 2020 Perhaps my all time favourite player but hes at the stage that Morgan was at the last couple of seasons. Fine to step in for 3 or 4 games to cover but much more than that and hel start to get shown up. Obviously hes played way more than he should recently and theres been some really good performances in there but was stand out awful today in a shocking defence. Needs dropping/resting.

ForeverandEver 103 Posted 30 November 2020 Report Share Posted 30 November 2020 Feels like the time when I agreed to do overtime for my boss... and then got told I was late.... ! Fuchs has been brilliant for us... but quite rightly should have come on to see the game out for us... not get dragged round by the Fulham youngsters! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly think Tielemans did alright Justin had a god game and Kasper did nothing wrong as far as the starting XI were concerned. Apart from that wasn’t good enough across the board. Not sure what good going all in on someone who is only playing because of a injury crisis is going to do. Edited 30 November 2020 by Manwell Pablo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Leicester_Loyal 4,847 Posted 30 November 2020 Report Share Posted 30 November 2020 Fuchs and Albrighton are perfectly fine to play once a week, but playing 3 times in 8 days is too much for him. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tieleman's first 2 passes went astray after that he was ok, yeah Justin was acceptable considering the dross he was playing with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Walkers 2,777 Posted 30 November 2020 Report Share Posted 30 November 2020 Also is it not possible for a 30 something year old to have a poor game? And it not mean that he's suddenly past it despite being widely praised for his performances as recently as a month ago? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peterborofox 1,454 Posted 30 November 2020 Report Share Posted 30 November 2020 Was wank but shouldn't have been on the pitch. Would rather play Wes in a back three now and then Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HesNotGudjonsonn2 350 Posted 30 November 2020 Author Report Share Posted 30 November 2020 I personally wasn’t praising him but I also am not slagging him. i think it is clear that my opinion is that age has simply caught up with him as it will to everyone and he shouldn’t generally be starting 90 mins unless we have no other options. We had other options today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lcfc sheff 1,303 Posted 30 November 2020 Report Share Posted 30 November 2020 Should’ve taken off Fuchs and shown faith in Thomas Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jim5000 859 Posted 30 November 2020 Report Share Posted 30 November 2020 Brendan played the wrong system tonight, and Fuchs was a victim really because of that. Why Rodgers wanted to play three at the back with.... A) Not having three fit central defenders B) Playing against the team in 19th ....boggles the mind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sand cats 61 Posted 1 December 2020 Report Share Posted 1 December 2020 Fuchs is a great player, when i see him and Vardy playing i feel there is a soul in Leicester City, those new signed players don't have confidence like him and Vardy and he is of course very talented.

Lambert09 2,779 Posted 1 December 2020 Report Share Posted 1 December 2020 As with Wes a few years ago, it’s not his fault the manager is selecting him. It’s really an odd one as we had plenty of options today Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cruzFOX 255 Posted 1 December 2020 Report Share Posted 1 December 2020 I think we are asking too much for old legends like Fuchs, Albrighton and Morgan to carry the team. The young bloods have to learn from these guys and put the shift in as they should have the legs and the stamina. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
