Totally. Plus, there are a few similarities in his game to KDH's, which makes him a good like-for-like replacement if Dewsbury-Hall isn't available. 

Interestingly this pre-season he’s been used in the left a few times and looked good. 
 

Been switched to the right now and still heavily involved.

I know people don't like the concept of it and I'm not saying we should stick with it, but we've not been too bad despite the lack of width on the pitch. 

 

Daka seems more comfortable with the lone role.

Very good squad player, just doesn't get in our starting 11. I do hope he stays, though.

He’s brilliant mate, he starts for me got to get him in the side we’re much netter when he plays I really really like him. Always have.

[Dusty]

Soumare and praet both playing very well. 

[Cincinnati Fox]

Slick

[splinterdream]

Praet would be so valuable to us this season  with the 5 subs, I hope he stays

It's been a good, physical battle, tbf - ideal preparation for the start of the season. Neither of the injuries have been due to contact.

I know the injuries haven’t but there’s been plenty of bad tackles 

[StanSP]

The other thing to add - we look to play the ball forward more regularly today. Less of the cautious defensive play. Regularly looked for the diagonal or ball forward to Daka/Vardy/Maddison/KDH... 

[Bozman]

Praet top man..

 

[HankMarvin]

Hopefully saving it for Brentford 

[whoareyaaa]

Love Praet, good to see him back

[Pliskin]

Very good. I thought that was a decent performance all round. We look pretty decent, and we’re looking much more solid at the back. 

[Guest Electric Yetis]

Kungs full blast after the goal and full time.

[Cincinnati Fox]

Think he just made the train. 

[Dahnsouff]

Need to figure out to get Team Praet in love with Leicester

 

I think we are going to have to reopen Ainsleys to make it happen

 

Or they could just live somewhere else I guess

Taken off just to protect him wasn't he?

I like him too, I just wouldn't take any of the starting midfielders out of the starting side for him. As @StriderHiryusaid, with 5 subs, he'll get plenty of action if he sticks around, anyway.

Have to agree to disagree he’s a starter for me but then i do contradict myself cuz where does he play ? But got to fit him in because we’re a better team when he plays .

I mean, for me personally KDH, Maddison, Barnes, Youri and Ndidi are our 5 starting midfielders every day of the week. It's impossible really to put Praet in over any of them, despite his ability.

I think Youri will be gone

Fair enough, I'm not so sure - it's all a bit up in the air at the moment for him. I have a feeling that Rodgers would sooner start Soumare over Praet if Tielemans left. Bouba is more of a deep-lying playmaker like Youri whereas Praet is more of an advanced midfield player. Even with Ndidi screening, him and KDH together would probably leave us a bit open in the middle, as both like to go pressing higher up the pitch.

It's a tough one to manage that's for sure.

Great, innit

Much better than everything they used last season. Hope it’s not a one off

Arteta came out and said they are not done yet 

 

“We are still hoping to do something else if the market allows," the Spaniard explained. "You have seen some movement in the last few days as well.

"We want to get the perfect balance and the plan we wanted from the beginning. Whether we accomplish that or not is another story, but I’m happy with where we are now."

[Webbo]

Ricky has an achilles injury, could be serious.
