With all due respect, that might not be entirely his fault. I think we all breathed a sigh of relief when our Maguire replacement wasn't as bad as we feared (and there were plenty writing him off just based on the few matches we'd seen him in) As I said upthread, he's always had a mistake in him. We knew that. Perhaps if you are "massively" underwhelmed now it's because you rated him too highly before. I'm not pretending that he's not in a poor run of form but it's not that he's suddenly become useless either. He's doing a lot of good stuff (tackles, blocks) - he's just messing up sometimes too... and, yes, that has the potential to cost us but same is true of any player. I maintain he's the same player he's always been, he's just making more poor choices than normal at the moment! He'll get it together. 4

I think he feels like he has to protect younger players but, he needs to sometimes be braver with younger players and throw them in. He can’t keep playing Vardy until his legs fall off. Or Albrighton for that matter, time for him to be brave! 1
lgfualol Posted 19 September 2021 Posted 19 September 2021 I just want to see some refreshing attacking football, with players taking 1-2 touches at most like we saw in patches vs Napoli. No more extreme safety first football please. When we attack with pace and don't **** about with the ball we create way more chances so let's do it. 1

Being still on garden leave he has some more weeding to do, and the Pergola would build itself.

I love Albrighton so don’t want it to sound like I’m hounding him out but I want someone on the right with some pace and ability to take fullbacks on 2

Far too many of our players are either overrated or underrated , Soyuncu is a fine defender but not in the very highest class. In a few years ,with age and experience , he could be rated that highly but at the moment he is under a bit of pressure. He will learn from this phase I am sure and that should help him get even better. 1

Lookman will only grow into the side if he plays. He is more than capable of playing on the right, so just play him there. Let’s get some pace and creativity in attack.

I did not think it was that subtle, but the fact that I said he was on garden leave was a loose indication that he was not available to play. As I said perhaps just too subtle. 1

winteriscoming Posted 19 September 2021 Posted 19 September 2021 Kasper Castagne Vesty Soyuncu Thomas Ndidi Tielmans Soumare Nacho Daka Barnes That’s what I’d go with. Obviously if Evans is fit I’d start him over Soyuncu. Agree with earlier comment that Bertrand looked shattered after the Napoli game.
FoxesWalk Posted 19 September 2021 Posted 19 September 2021 I’d play Iheanacho in place of Maddison and Lookman on the right if we are going to persist with 433/4231. I am hopeful that we will try 352 again though with Nacho and Vardy up top, given Barnes played 90 in the week. Would need to be something like: Kasper Castagne, Soy, Vest Periera, Youri, Ndidi, Soumare, Bertrand Vardy, Nacho
Unabomber Posted 19 September 2021 Posted 19 September 2021 I’m pretty optimistic today. Prob 2-1 with them getting a late goal and it ending up going from us being comfortable to us all bricking it. 2

He can have all my rose shrubs and I'd throw in a couple of rhododendrons for a good measure, just to make sure Ayoze stays off the squad 1

I once found a dodgy stream for a Leicester City game and it fxxxxd up my laptop eventually with a virus. I thought it was a safe bet that on a Sunday at 2 pm this match would be on but they’ve gone for Ronaldo and Man United instead.

Phil Bowman Posted 19 September 2021 Posted 19 September 2021 What’s with all the optimistic predictions?? Are you real Leicester fans or what? Or just under ten years old and so have seen us win more often than not? Surely proper Leicester fans always expect us to lose? Or am I alone in my eternal pessimism? 1 3

Nah a true fan always expects us to win then spends the week pissed off we're in a championship relegation battle.

"Proper" Leicester fans are on there way to the game, leaving us armchair supporters to speculate. The world is always a brighter place with a pot of tea and packet of biscuits at your side. (Darn, hole in my theory, they also have smartphones. Damn my old schoolism) 1
