Alf Bentley Posted 14 September 2014 Posted 14 September 2014 If second half yesterday is anything to go by, he could be a massively good signing. Not just his quality: consistently accurate first-time passes, good interventions, a couple of astounding long balls and instantly able to play well with his teammates. His body language was very promising: regularly giving guidance and directions, and also looking like he was committed to the cause and enjoying being at Leicester. Didn't look for a minute like someone who was just winding down his career and getting a last pay-day. One game is only one game, but could be a signing that helps the club to success over the next 2 or 3 seasons, through influence on others as much as his own contribution.
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 14 September 2014 Posted 14 September 2014 He had a brilliant game by all accounts. I didn't expect anything less!
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 14 September 2014 Posted 14 September 2014 Drinkwater slightly more advanced than cambiasso and either of Hammond and James depending on fitness looks the way to go based on that second half. Concerned what this means for nuge though, can't play a full 90 as a winger? Can he? Mahrez one side of ulloa, Schlupp, Knocky, nuge, Vardy, albrighton and Lawrence, maybe even Powell, wood and GTF too all wanting one position?! what the f uck?! How the hell did that happen! We've got so many options compared to the harrowing days of Gabor Bori

Bamba's Babes Posted 14 September 2014 Posted 14 September 2014 How did McArthur get on?.... What was Cambi's pass ratio?
Finnaldo Posted 14 September 2014 Posted 14 September 2014 Barry hayles winger supreme I maintain that his was the second best shin-in against Palace in the Club's history.
dogadug Posted 14 September 2014 Posted 14 September 2014 I genuinely can't remember him misplacing a pass, did he have 100% pass completion?
sdb Posted 14 September 2014 Posted 14 September 2014 Was thinking the same, 442 website usually has stats... Edit: err not quite!! Think most of the reds are set pieces though http://www.fourfourtwo.com/statszone/8-2014/matches/755340/player-stats/13919/OVERALL_02#tabs-wrapper-anchor Hammond impressive: 4 misplaced passes all game, mostly in their 3rd http://www.fourfourtwo.com/statszone/8-2014/matches/755340/player-stats/11848/OVERALL_02#tabs-wrapper-anchor
theessexfox Posted 14 September 2014 Posted 14 September 2014 Remember the days when we had to bring GTF on in CM against Chelsea...
ScouseFox Posted 14 September 2014 Posted 14 September 2014 think squawka only had him at about 80%. that included one or two set pieces as "passes" though and the ball over the top to ulloa that was just intercepted to win us a corner.

Jobyfox Posted 14 September 2014 Posted 14 September 2014 There is no sense here that we're getting carried away after only a substitute appearance in one game is there? I want to lie on the floor and let him piss all over me!

Harry - LCFC Posted 14 September 2014 Posted 14 September 2014 There is no sense here that we're getting carried away after only a substitute appearance in one game is there? I want to lie on the floor and let him piss all over me! I get that feeling too but he was so fvcking good it's hard not to! First appearance for us and he asserts control on the game with ease. Passing, set-piece delivery and organisation all excellent. We've all allowed ourselves to get carried away for sure but with what little we've seen of him I think we now have good reason to do so.
Manwell Pablo Posted 15 September 2014 Posted 15 September 2014 Hammond has the shirt, he should keep the shirt till he don't perform... nige treats every player the same, and they know it..its his credibility... dean has been great so far.. This aint a Sunday League team mate The impact Cambiasso had on Sunday was evident we were a much better side with him in the middle. We actually played a bit a football in the second half and looked like we could ask a few questions ourselves as opposed to the first half where it was just Stoke attack after Stoke attack. Cambiasso should be starting, as should Drinkwater for that matter, if we were to make a three in midfield and use King or Hammond as well as we did Saturday then I'd have no complaints about that but those two are far and away the best to midfielders at the club (while James is out at least) and should be playing. Even more so with that rampant Man U team coming to the King Power on Sunday.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 15 September 2014 Posted 15 September 2014 The thought of Drinkwater, James and Cambiasso in a midfield three is simply mesmeriiiiiiiiiising.
Mitch14 Posted 15 September 2014 Posted 15 September 2014 It's not that out of the ordinary for Cambiasso to have been terrible for Inter at the end of last season, they were terrible at the end of the last season and if he knew he was leaving the motivation may have simply not been there. That certainly wasn't the case on Saturday and honestly, he looked physically as fit as anyone on the pitch. With his knowledge of the game, if he stays committed and stays fit, I'd put him in the top 5 or 10 CM's in the PL. He just did everything very well, not flashy but very very solid, reliable and opened up the game.
Tommy G Posted 15 September 2014 Posted 15 September 2014 I hope he doesnt ''do a fernandes'' Remember all our fans calling him Viera after the Cov game then he fizzled out....
bovril Posted 15 September 2014 Posted 15 September 2014 I hope he doesnt ''do a fernandes'' Remember all our fans calling him Viera after the Cov game then he fizzled out.... Junior Lewis looked alright against Chelsea, too....
Steven Posted 15 September 2014 Posted 15 September 2014 Junior Lewis looked alright against Chelsea, too.... I sponsored Junior Lewis.
bovril Posted 15 September 2014 Posted 15 September 2014 I sponsored Junior Lewis. Good on you mate sponsoring those born less able than us. Top gesture.
DennisNedry Posted 15 September 2014 Posted 15 September 2014 He did look tidy and clever on the ball - I'm just not seeing why he was supposedly so fantastic on Saturday. I think he will be a fantastic player for us though over the season, he certainly showed glimpses of class.
VLC86 Posted 15 September 2014 Posted 15 September 2014 I sponsored Junior Lewis. Hopefully to complete a sponsored jumpoffacliffathon
Vlad the Fox Posted 15 September 2014 Posted 15 September 2014 I sponsored him to help **** leeds over. Cost me a couple of quid.
