After everyone jizzing over him for a few weeks suddenly everyone's concerned about his performances.

I wasn't. In fact I posed a question about his all round game. My opinion is whilst a decent player, his long range efforts have distorted peoples opinions some what.

I don't think there is any comparison between those two players from what I have seen so far. How Knockaert handles being man marked, and having two players on him will be the real test.

Anyone listening to the phone-in? I'm tempted to ring in and tear Alan Young apart. He's just said that Knockaert shouldn't start for us away from home..

Where do i begin..

I would suggest a straight left to the jaw, just to get his attention...... :thumbup:

I'm hoping knockout is our version of QPRs Taarabt when then got promoted. He seems to be confident and wants to make things happen and it makes the team better as a whole.

Exactly. Knockaert hasn't started once away from home. He starts two games at home and we score 5 in two games.

We've played positively away from home but lacked any real penetration and spark. Plus the fact he keeps the ball as well as anyone in our squad, and retaining it away from home is much more important.

For me Knockaert is integral, and the team should largely be built around him.

Why? At Charlton he set up Dyer for what should've been a goal, sent in a fine cross for Vardy's disallowed goal at Blackburn and helped us get a foothold back in the game at Wolves.

He's in form, he should start.

The way he plays looks a class above anyone in this league...and it brings the best out of the rest of the team. He'll give the ball away on occasions but its after a run that's taken us into the final third, with 2 or 3 closing him down...

I know, my Why? was asking what Alan Young feels is enough to not give him a start away from home.

I was saying this to my brother earlier. He can be like Adam Lallana was for Southampton, or like you say, Taarabt before him. It's still early days, but the signs are good so far.

Ok, just to be devil's advocate, don't you think sometimes instead of playing an easier pass, Knockeart tries to run through gangs of defenders with the ball?

Is a bit early yet but he seems to be making the right early impressions :-)

Yep I agree, but it's usually in the final third, and having a gang of players surrounding him takes markers off other forward players.

He does sometimes, but also he's shown he can play that pass- to Waghorn at Wolves and a couple of time yesterday to Vardy.

Yeah, only have to look at the chances and goals scored from Blackburn onwards. I'd say he's played a part in pretty much all of them. Vardy's disallowed one at Blackburn, the through ball to Vardy against Burnley. The waghorn chance vs Wolves, Vardy twice against Hull that he missed. Nugent's header yesterday.

May at times be greedy, but out of our players i'm more likely to forgive him for being greedy occasionaly given how good his decision making is most of the time in the final third.

Thanks Knocky! you have gave a miserable moaning git something to cheer about. A midfielder that demands the ball and then wants to go forward. Simple and the thing we have been missing. And its nice to be carried away as its a long time since a player put in a performance that "excites" us. I just hope that he does not have a dip in form because there is a certain player who is making his way back to fitness that loves that 10 yard pass back to the centre backs. I do think it's a shame that Nigel and Danns can't hug it up because I do think with Kingy, Danns, Drinkwater Marshall, (although he is of course massively overrated), Dyer ( as an impact player) and Knocky we must have a bloody great midfield somewhere in there.

the whole 'Premiership Clubs will come sniffing thing'. They are indeed not real words. It was a gentle attempt at creating a 'Knockaert is a liability so don't come sniffing' chain, primarily for our own amusement. I am well aware Prem Clubs won't take such a thread seriously. It was just a joke, for which I apologise.

Sincerely, though, I thought Knock was simply outstanding yesterday. Inventive, tricky and constantly involved. He brightened up the King Power, and I hope he is with us for a long time.

**** me I can't remember the last time a joke flew that far over my head. My bad mate.

Errrrrrrrr, Marshall? If so, that's quite a comment to make haha.

I think he is as well, decent player but the way people go on you'd think he was some amazing superstar. Some crackers from distance aside he's mostly been just steady IMO.

And again... I agree
