Albrighton, Knockaert, Lawrence and Vardy will probably be good enough for a month. Suppose if the right person comes along then we'll possibly go for them but I don't think we'll go after one.

With both Riyad and jeff looking like our wingers ATM would you do with Albrighton and knockeart?

I'd personally give Lawrence a go. No reason and no logic, but I would

I think anyone who thinks Knockaert has been frozen out is hugely over dramatising things.

He's just had a poor start and been dropped to motivate him. I think Pearson's done pretty well to manage the kid to be honest.

he may have been dropped for the Arsenal game partly as punishment but I agree he's far from being frozen out, he'll play a key role before the season is out for us

Based on their progression from Championship to Premiership for Mahrez and Schlupp and the slow starts from Albrighton and Knockaert, we'll struggle in January.

 

However I think Albrighton and Knocky will get there, Albrighton is already proven at this level and Knockaert is worthy of the challenge and i'm sure he'll grab first team action with both hands.

 

 

Not to worry lads, we've actually got a really healthy squad.

Punishment for what? His form? That's not really punishment, it's just... if he's not up to it he isn't picked.

I don't buy in to the punch shit and that French article was a load of bollocks.

No I think he means punishment for what he supposedly said to the French press

There's nothing "supposedly" in that article, everyone can read it for what it's worth.

I can't see said statements having a detrimental effect on his time on the pitch - he's lacking form pure and simple, and others are performing better at the moment.

It's only natural and I'm convinced that he'll pick it up again soon enough.

What are they doing playing so late in the international break? Surely this means we can't really play Mahrez on Saturday, it's basically two days away.

almost as disgraceful as your counting ealing !

 

Is it? It's Wednesday night. Thursday and Friday = 2 days, and the game is on Saturday... I did say 'basically'. He won't train tomorrow so will only have Friday to prep if he's even back in Leicester.

 

 

As for the game - 0-0 at HT, a drab affair, RM not doing much but has pulled out a couple of tricks on his opposite number. He got hacked down near the Mali box and did a few rolls and I almost vomited with fear. Seemed alright though.

It goes both ways - I think gaining international experience (apart from the odd WC appearance) is worth it and it'll make Mahrez even better.

 

Also, Stoke's Mame Biram Diouf featured for Senegal away at Botswana tonight and there's question marks over his availability for Saturday's game, as well.

Algerian lads at work said he got th3 assist for the goal.

 

 

http://youtu.be/wgQnBpauVAU?t=3h19m41s (No sound for this bit)

 

Got it off his free kick, so is credited for the assist.

 

Going by all reports, aside from his shocking miss, he was very lively and he created many opportunities (At least two golden chances that weren't taken by their strikers).

 

I think in all matches I've seen him in, he's either been the one that made the assist himself, or had a big hand in the play. Heck, he took the corner against Armenia that lead to a goal. So he does have some idea how to take a good set piece (Many bagged him against Chelsea for that corner).

Mahrez played 15 minutes against ethiopia and had an assit in a 2-1  away win , 3 days later  he played the whole game and had another assist for a 1-0 home win against Mali.

And the Algeria fans on reddit were still complaining about him
