That was grim. Tielemans played a few quality balls. Praet okay, but against crap and still not really having any truly significant influence. Daka and Nacho awful. Just cannot imagine starting either ahead of Vards. So our goal threat remains hanging on the fitness an octogenarian 😞👍

 

Our goal threat relies solely on an octogenarian - would have some weight had Maddison, Barnes and Daka not got double figures each last season

[Oldblueyes]

You can see that according to some that this is definitely our second eleven.

Tielemans head and shoulders above everyone else on the pitch imo 

Just class 

Remind all those who think Rodgers should bench him. If he stays , he plays.

Don’t sell Praet

Dennis Praet

I just don’t think you understand

That if you sell Praet

Dennis Praet

You’ll have a riot on your hands.

Daka and Barnes hit double figures last season! That's genuinely shocked me!

Empty threat really after we sold Knocky and there was barely any protests whatsoever

We did play almost 60 games over the season though, only 11 between them in the league.

[Paninistickers]

Thoroughly enjoyable, utterly meaningless half. 

 

Youri, praet have delightful flashes of class. I always love timmy, even on a 6/10 day. 

 

Daka. Hmmmmm

 

Kels, I just love. 

 

Poor Luke Thomas. He's such a weird one. I  called  him.out week after week last season, as he was so so poor.Then he blossomed into Mr reliable. Simpson esque full back..Today he's back to poor. He needs a loan for 1-2 years and let him.sink.or swim elsewhere. Funnily enough, a loan to Derby might be a good start  he could even train at Seagrave 1 day a week.

What’s the score

This place is barmy sometimes. I never understand it.

Those who said we shouldn’t even try to renew Tielemans contract, or those who have said they’d be happy to see him go, or to be replaced this season by Soumare

Just… WTF?

The Belgiums are looking a level above and beginning to look a little frustrated

Lookman scored a fair few - very concerning that it seems like we are not signing him.

[moore_94]

Thomas proper ropey that first 30 minutes, especially with that chance to score  some of the balls to him were well over hit though

 

Better the last 10-15 minutes or so, starting to link up quite well with Praet, some great passes into him

Negative nelly over here, this isn't in the foxes family spirit 

[Pliskin]

I think Daka would be much better on his own.

Going into our 5th season post Mahrez with Albrighton still on the right wing 🤦🏻‍♂️

No Perez in either squad. Could he be leaving?? Or is he injured?

I get your point, but Daka only hit five goals in the PL, I think? Madders might well take the strain off Vards again, but relying on Barnes never feels you’re backing a cert 🤷. Performances like this juts scare me as to the fragility of our squad.

Less games. We don’t need him.

Back at Seagrave?

He's a nailed-on starter, Rodgers doesn't need to see him

Needs his goals though.
