I've mentioned this before but his turn in form changed after him and his wife lost a child, also with niggling injuries hasn't helped him find any form either

Ooof. This explains a lot. The guy is super religious, and that plus major injuries would not have put him in a strong place mentally.

 

I think a move to the Saudi League would do him good, lower level of skill, better weather, could help him make something for the rest of his career. I can't recall a player who has dropped off so much as him... maybe Dele Alli? Wilf was at one point in the conversation for best CDM in all of Europe.

You don’t go from being one of the best CDM’s to having no ability to play football. He’s still got it, it’s just that mentally, emotionally and in terms of confidence he has suffered more than most. It’s a shame. He’s a great guy. In form he is unplayable. Out of form he isn’t playable.

Ndidi had great energy, and was one the best for successful tackles/interceptions, but he was never great on the ball and successful passes, or attacking the opposition,  kante had all of those qualities, ndidi didn't, if he had he wouldn't be a leicester player now.

I thought Ndidi looked lazy/sloppy when playing and that annoyed me a lot, but i hear he's had a hard time after being ill with covid, so this makes sense, so if he can get fully fit, although he's limited he would have his uses, but it sounds like he wouldn't be a maresca type player

Roy Hodgson's been around since the dinosaurs

Yeah, but you've got to respect his managerial ability though. Pair of diplodocus at centre back in a low block, clearing everything coming into the box in the air. Triceratops getting up and down the pitch at full back, stegosaurus making up for a lack of pace by sitting in and screening the back 4 at DM, solid a unit as you like, guaranteed clean sheets all the time. Bit crap going forward, but a 0-0 away at Jurrasic Park isn't a result to be sniffed at.

Get Rid.  Ndidi is very one dimensional.  Judging from Enzo's background we going to be playing more technically.  Think Nididi done a good job for us but time to move on, think he should focus on being a defender, as his legs and sharp thinking needed for this position is gone

What’s wrong with showing empathy for a fellow professional who has been found not guilty in a court of law ?? 

I personally don’t have it in me to cheer for sexual predators but fair play if you do

Let's not get distracted from the main point. Is Wilf capable of playing reasonable football anymore? On recent showings, he's cooked!

If he can rediscover his form and is played to just shield the defense then I can't see how he don't mop up in the championship.

 

Rodgers ruined him like many other players

Would be amazed if Maresca posession football caters for players with two left feet. Im not sure about ‘Rodgers ruined him’ either, played his best games between 19/20 imo

Fair but you always need a ball winner in there and that's what he's great at, in the championship he would be fine, in some of the games under Smith he was playing pretty well I thought.. I dunno no players really excelled under Rodgers.

Championship is a very physical demanding league that requires players with a proper engine on them and i think Ndidis legs are done tbh. Cant see him getting round the pitch anymore

lol I know its quoted he older than 26 but I don't believe that he can't get round the pitch anymore.. maybe a pre season under a different coach with different regimes might help his fitness.

But, do you though? It’s not a binary decision, you could get someone in there who has some of those qualities (maybe not quite as good as prime Wilf) but is 10 times better in possession than Wilf is.

 

I would expect us to be dominating possession in the vast majority of games next season, so arguably Wilf’s worth to us deteriorates anyway.

Soumare?

I get what your saying we are going to be dominating possession but we have been doing that since Puel started the transition so it's nothing new.
