Fox92 Posted 11 August 2012 Share Posted 11 August 2012 Final whistle. Win over a Premier League team (that will probably finish within the top 10 next season) and didn't concede. Pleased with that, well done boys. Can't wait for Saturday, but will be listening to Torquay. Bring on the season, up the Foxes, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert Posted 11 August 2012 Share Posted 11 August 2012 The first half was good from us. We looked like the premier league side. Second half was a bit scrappy but we still has the better of it. Liam Moore has had a great pre season, let's hope he can continue it. Beckford and Vardy looked sharp together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col city fan Posted 11 August 2012 Share Posted 11 August 2012 Now having seen them play I feel more optimistic. Morgan was a beast, DeLaet looks solid enough, Drinkwater and James looked pretty composed. Vardy looks very very lively. And in Knocky we could have a real find. Marshall looked MOTM for me. We were well organised, looked fit and were good for the win. However, dare I say it, Beckfords gonna continue to frustrate again this season. When put through on goal on two occasions first half (After making intelligent runs) he should have scored both times. His all round play though was pretty good.

MrSpaM Posted 11 August 2012 Share Posted 11 August 2012 Just got back. Great game, played really well for the most part. Was really impressed with Marshall, Knockaert, Drinkwater, Moore and Vardy before he was taken off. Cant wait for the season to start now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grobyfox Posted 11 August 2012 Share Posted 11 August 2012 Great performance quite a few stand out players. Drinkwater stood out Morgan and Moore solid liked Moore at right back, vardy looked positive beckford actually looked like he gave a shit Marshall dangerous and the Ronaldo of the championship looked ace! Very good all round performance drinkwaters 45 mins were the best I've seen him! Come on u blues!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark_w Posted 11 August 2012 Share Posted 11 August 2012 Knockaert looks amazing, he was superb today. Glad I went in the end, made up for Shrewsbury anyway. I know I said we shouldn't be judging players on pre-season but I've got a feeling we could have one of the best players in the Championship on our hands if Knockaert carries on like that. Marshall/Knocky/Moore/Drinkwater stood out to me but no one had a particularly bad game. Looking forward to Tuesday now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BstarFox Posted 11 August 2012 Share Posted 11 August 2012 Here's my rating on the players performances Kasper - 5didnt do much apart from one stand out save in the second half De laet - 6 eemed ok, didnt get to show his pace often enough Morgan - 7 looks solid at the back Konchesky - 7 same as always for konchesky always reliable Marshall - 7.5 looks very good loves to cut in and have a pop will be a key player for us Drinkwater - 9 MOM for me always keeps the ball and picks out a pass even though he isnt the tallest he seems quite strong James - 7 seems to play well with drinkwater a good passer and likes to play defensively minded Dyer - 6 cant think of much he did Vardy - 7.5 seemed dangerous and quick put i think he could of got a few goals today he had some good chances Beckford 6.5 looked fairly good made a couple of runs and had a good chance which he should of scored Subs - Waggy - 6 didnt get in the game much Nugent - 6 same as waggy, forgot he was playing in the second half! Knockaert - 8 what a player this guy is FLAIR, loves to take on players also made alot of good tackles/interceptions which he was unlucky that it landed to there players he also likes to cut in and take a shot which i love in wingers. Schlupp - 6.5 seems ok at LB but would rather him play on the wing or upfront. Danns - 7 lively and energetic King - 6 didnt do much in my opinion Parkes - 6.5 took his goal well but misplaced a couple of "easy" passes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenny_fox Posted 11 August 2012 Share Posted 11 August 2012 1st half we were much the better team, we bossed it all. 2nd half we were slow out of the blocks but knockaert looked class and could be a real find. Overall I'm very happy with how we are shaping up. Pearson has got some selection headaches to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom17LCFC Posted 11 August 2012 Share Posted 11 August 2012 Just got back. Vardy looked very sharp, Drinkwater looked good as well. I think we've unearthed an absolute gem in Knockaert. He was quality!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain... Posted 11 August 2012 Share Posted 11 August 2012 Any news on the injuries, or was just precautionary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyFromLE Posted 11 August 2012 Share Posted 11 August 2012 Very very promising young team. Moore I thought has looked excellent all pre-season. Drinkwater looked good, as did Vardy. Beckford, Nugent and Waghorn also looked sharp. I don't wanna get carried away with Knockaert, but the kid looks promising. COYB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
