Alves off... Literally the one interesting spark in this team.

Has had a knock recently and gets quite a few of them

 

Will be one we need to be careful with early in the season until fully up to fitness

Would have preferred Cullen off and Alves moved centrally.

[coolhandfox]

Until we actually get a striker who we can cross to it will be dross.

 

Look up no one in the box go back.

[Bergen fox]

The Liam Cullen is a a weak as Thomas 

why the hell did we buy that lightweight

[Foxes96]

Alves probably needs protecting a bit due to a recent knock. Think we will see him and Burns subbing on for one another pretty much every game this season. 

[CrazyKopCorner]

Okoli is not a playing ball centre back 

[FoxesWalk]

Cullen seems like a decent enough player, if a little lightweight. But, seems to have a bit about him, finds space well, tidy, reads the game well. 

[wardyfox86]

Joseph has been solid playing inverted. You can see why he's in ahead of Aluko, he's a little more technically sound.

He’s as weak as piss

[moore_94]

Former academy player Joe Wormleighton on for Northampton

 

He looked really good at under 21 level a few years ago

No point running Alves into the ground against Northampton in the Cup.

James Justin. Not sure if I'm forgetting someone obvious but has there been another?

Nice ball from Cullen but apart from that, this has been an utterly dire debut

He looks very accomplished for his age, I’m impressed.

Some of the Northampton player names wouldn't be out of place on Game of Thrones ⚔️🐉

Has all the technical ability of the turd I dropped off this morning

Good! We're an Alves injury away from everyone chucking their season tickets in

He's been abysmal bar that nice little pass. The only other times he's picked up the ball he's given it away with a poor choice or poorly executed pass. 

 

Still, basically still pre season and only 1 game. Sure he'll contribute plenty this season.

[Unabomber]

Who did burns come on for?

You can definitely tell he came through at Man City

[Fazzer 7]

Anyone can see from his body language going back to early last season. Mavididi doesn't want to be here. If he can't be sold. Terminate his club and fk him off. 

[AKCJ]

Would have liked Alves to have been given the chance to move centrally. Cullen has done precisely **** all.

No striker is again really showing. Mavididi is absolute dross

It’s been a problem for a few years. One the club haven’t put right going to come back and bite us later in the season.
