Enzo Maresca New Leicester Manager

[UniFox21]

Didn't leave his changes too late which was nice.

I really really hope the morons above him at the top let him sign who he wants now, almost feel like playing Ndidi where he did & playing McAteer was a message to show what he’s missing.

Big Nige lend him a pair of trainers?

[Lionator]

I really think Enzo can connect with the fans in a way which we haven’t experienced since NFP and Claudio. 

[CosbehFox]

Gave Hamer a bit of billing post match 👀

[ealingfox]

Goes level alongside Michael Appleton with the highest win percentage in the clubs history.

[RobHawk]

Nice to see some pashun on the touchline tbh

[bovril]

Enjoyed a post match interview where the manager talked about actual positive and negative aspects of the performance after the bullshit of last season. 

[LCFCJohn]

Lots to like about him and a positive start even if we were a bit fortunate today.

 

The two negatives of the team were Vestergard and Ndidi. I hope we give him the tools he needs in the remainder of this month as these two are definitely not cut out for how he wants to play. I’m not sure there was really an alternative to Ndidi today but I do hope he has learned from today just not to play Vestergard!

It’s something simple but just seeing him go crazy celebrating goals is brilliant. I suspect the players will love playing for him

[David Hankey]

Talk tonight is Man City want him back and will swop Pep for him!!

I thought he waited too long to change Vardy. Especially with 5 subs. Could probably have done it at the same time as the Praet sub.

Nah... 

Needs a little notebook!.. 

Looks a knob without one.

I think he will be such a good manager, we can blast Rudkin and Top for not sacking Rodgers earlier but Enzo appointment will be another master stroke

 

I really like him. But you cannot label the appointment of a good Championship manager a "masterstroke" when there have been so many failings to lead us here in the first place.

Hadn’t seen this but bloody love it.

 

No more little clapping and notebooks 😍

[Happy Fox]

Felt he didn’t make enough changes personally and could have brought on the subs earlier. But he’s learning the ropes so to speak and encouraged by the play. Which will get better in time.

Easy to forget he's inexperienced as a manager, so not surprised if played it safe.

[Sunbury Fox]

Enzo's system gets us into a ridiculous number of good positions around the box. We just need to add players with creativity on the RW and as the second 8 and we will see its full potential. Having a RW who can dribble, drawing in opposition defenders, will create even more space for a talented ball playing 8.

 

Defensively, though, we need a pace merchant in the back 3 to protect us against quick counters, in the way that Pep has started using Walker as a RCB. Justin is the closest we have to that but he's not the tallest so that could leave us even more vulnerable to set piece goals. But then if we played Souttar instead of Vesty that would be less of an issue.

Brenda used to put his finger in the air like he’s the one who scored. Bellend

Give him the tools and he will deliver.

Enzo learning that we don't get transfer deals done quickly here at LCFC. In his prezzer last week he expected a fair bit of movement this week and nothing has happened, or even seems to be moving*.

 

I'm not defending our previous manager, but I can see why he got so frustrated with the lack of transfer activity at times. I am fully aware that transfers are complicated but we don't seem too efficient when it comes to closing deals. 

 

I really think Enzo has something about him, so others in key positions within the club need to up their game massively. He strikes me as a guy who won't stand messing about, as @Dan LCFCsays, give him the tools and he'll deliver. My concern is that those who should be doing that, aren't up to the job and EM will become frustrated too.

 

*obviously we can't see what goes on, but social media can be fairly illuminating, and it seems we are working on 2 deals and losing the battle in both negotiations.
