A taxi driver we had in Blackpool was raving about him.

Needs to drastically improve his decision making if he wants to be a star at this level.

 

Solid hard worker and finds himself in amazing positions but he’s probably more guilty than most at squandering opportunities. There was one chance outside the box on his left foot, loads of space and he passed the opportunity to shoot but tried to take a man on by cutting back on his right but ended up losing the ball. A couple of occasions where he found loads of space in the left side of Everton’s pen area but poor passes led to nothing.

 

If he makes better decisions more often than not he’ll be a real force in our team.

Maddison is playing on the wing because of him

I do respect what KDH does, but he is not number 10 and not sure he will ever be

It was fun(not all the time) while it lasted, but move him behind and play Maddison where he belongs

Would love to see Maddison back there but think BR won’t because he can’t press anywhere near as good as KDH.

.. in a  4-3-3, Maddison could take up a position behind a two up front, in effect, the #10 role!!!

I wouldn't say drastically improve, but improvement is needed and would be most welcome and felt.

Emergence of the season and he'll only get better.

Wonder if he could have done more to track Guimaraes for their 2nd...?

A fresh KDh would have managed it. Unfortunately he's our hardest working player by a mile and is rarely afforded the luxury of a rest

this is really his first full season of first team football. He’s doing great. You can already see his determination to be the best he can be. He’ll work even harder to get even better.

At this level anyway . I agree though, you can already see he's adapting and becoming quicker in his decision making and execution. Even the player he is, is one of the first names on the team sheet. If he continues to imrpove next season, the media will be looking to sell him and Fofana next summer.

I don't think Rodgers trusts Leicester to play a 4-2-3-1 without Ndidi in the side. Hence why maddison is on the wing in a 4-3-3. 

 

Therefore I can't see KDH moving deeper to accommodate a No.10 ahead until next season when they may look for him to take over from Youri which will be a huge ask.

In effect a diamond, with two strikers who by necessity must also supply width.

...I am not looking to play a 4-2-3-1 in this instance!!!

The premise was to get Maddison in the #10, in a 4-3-3, we could get him in a #10 role:

 

                      Kasper

Castagne   Fofana  Evans  Justin

                       Ndidi

          Tielemans        KDH

                      Maddison

         Daka                      Nacho

Out of possession it becomes a flat 4-3-3.

Wouldn’t be surprised if they look to sell Fofana this summer….

...to get the full value of our better players we need to sell them before we wish to!!!

Selling Fofana now would be something like £80m, the longer his contract runs down the less we will get.

He's still got 5 years left, so while I understand what you mean. 3, 4 or 5 years remaining, the effect of contract length on price will be negligible till you hit the 2-2.5 year mark.

Says a lot about KDH, Vardy appreciation thread 3yrs and 114 pages and he's a legend. KDH not even 12 months and 82 pages.

I know that but even so such a thread in your first season as a senior player is some going.

 

And an awesome song 😂😂

.. rightly Player of the season for me!!!

 The song is awful, good idea poor execution!!

[An Sionnach]

I followed him every week at Luton. A midfielder of industrial strength was the message I got. Absolutely what we needed. I think its time to push Braybrooke hard. He is a little fellow but so are Modric and Harvey Elliott and that has been no barrier to their success.

Think KDH's emergence and Rodgers opting to take our most dangerous player and play him out of position for the final 3rd of the season will swing it. Scandalous.

[Sampson]

Home grown player will always swing it fans’ minds I think. I also think Maddison should be winning it, but KDH would still be a good shout and nowhere near as bad as some other winners, for example the time Maguire was voted it ahead of Vardy in a season where Vardy was basically a one man team and we had a relegation quality defence and conceded about 70 league goals,

 

Wouldn’t be surprised if Maddison won Players’ Player and KDH won Supporters’ Player.

Recency bias is pretty big to be fair. 

 

But yes, should be Madders. Madders best player, KDH best young player I guess.
