Leicester vs Peterborough United - Pre-Season

[NorthernFox]

To be honest I enjoyed watching today more than the whole of last season. A bit more hopeful for this season and stuck £20 on us to win it

14 players not playing today...
Hermansen
Faes
Souttar
Vestergaard
Coulibaly
Ndidi
Braybrooke
Hamza
El Khannouss
Fatawu
De Cordova-Reid
Ayew
McAteer
Daka

And absolutely all of them have a valid reason to have not played, other than Braybrooke.

We are a top class striker away from HMS Piss the League. Unfortunately we have Daka! 

[Dan]

Didn't watch the game but I do wonder if it's almost worth us going full Sunderland and just aiming seemingly exclusively for younger players.

[JimJams]

Why not?

Experience is overrated.

We need to move him on. Spurs let Winks go because they had Skipp who was incredibly similar. Literally only Leicester would be stupid enough to buy both.

 

Winks rep is still high enough we could move him on for a few million and it’d be fine PSR wise. Rangers might be good off ramp 

Rangers is a great shout, if he's willing to actually move. Could definitely see Martin liking him.

The other week I asked TwatGPT to draw a picture of Rudders and it came up with this, now he's wearing the same bloody kit!

 

 

As a life long fan of Jim and Brian Henson, I find this extremely offensive.

I’ve seen enough, Monga starts at 10, BEK at 8, and Aluko at 6

Evans is a really good prospect for a striker. 

Isn't he a winger?

Played striker today. Personally see that being his position long term.

Good exercise that. To be honest, didn't expect it after last year's charade of a pre-season. Two different teams playing two different systems, both getting the ball forward much earlier and more often than we've had to endure the last few years. Might only have been Peterborough but well done Andy King. Sorted things out well today.

Is Page rated that highly? Not really heard much about him until now.

Shhh lets keep it that way hey 

[Sankey93]

I was impressed with page the most only 16 years old I believe! Aluko looks promising tbf. I’ve never been so excited for the youth but it looks we’ve got 4/5 very good ones coming through. Exciting times!

Very highly rated in the England set up.

Aluko at 6?

Was the kit nice?

[Mickyblueeyes]

You know what, as a fan you have to latch on to something to excite you, give you hope etc. especially with everything going on with the club at the moment. 
 

I think as a fan, I’ve had dreams, hopes etc. I dreamt of us winning the fa cup. We did that. I dreamt of us playing in Europe, we’ve done that - I hope we return one day. 
 

I had dreams of us competing at the top of the Pl, we did that - again, I hope we return one day. 
 

I don’t think I ever dreamt of us winning the PL but **** it we did that too. 
 

One of my other dreams was to have a successful team of mainly youth products. In recent years we’ve had Chilwell, Barnes, KDH etc. been great having them. But these lot were brilliant. Yes, first pre-season game, unusual setting and dickhead ownership but how awesome would it be if our rebuild is with this group of hungry, talented players at the core - I can get behind that. Let me dream.

Do you see Monga as a 10 rather than a winger?

I may be making this up, but I'm sure he's said himself that his best position is as a 10?

Think he can play either but in general think 10 is better, so good in tight spaces

That was better than every pre season game we saw from Cooper last season. Credit to Kingy and the young lads who all showed up well today. 

I liked the cut of Kingy's jib before the game as well. He spoke excellently about the first week of training. I'm not saying he should have the job or even that he will be a future Leicester manager, but he simply has to remain involved to some extent. He's not only a club legend but a consummate professional. His achievements with this club also demand respect from any player who puts on the shirt. Maybe one day he'll get a chance in the hot seat, maybe he'll have to go away again to be able to come back and get that chance, but right now he needs to be a real part of the new manager's backroom staff, whoever that may be.

A 10?

 

Do you mean a CF?
