He is going to be important against Leicester as he is the only one of our defenders who can compete with Vardy for pace.

It will be interesting to see how Pep sets up against Leicester and whether we do not play our usual high line. Vardy's first goal against Arsenal was a punt straight from Schmeichal which he got on the end of well and reacted to finish the second ball.

If Kyle is on form then we should be able to shut this down but it might limit his forward runs.
 
he was obviously aware of his slump in form. Good to see Pep congratulate him after the Burnley game-just saw it on sky with the Pep interview.

Him and Stones both cheated on and broken up with their long term partners this season, 1 can't get back in the side, the other was in atrocious form for months.

Also FFS Kyle if you're going to have an affair, don't do it with a former reality TV star desperately trying to cling on to the spotlight.
 
His found his firm the last 8 games. Hats off to him for fighting back from a bad patch.

What did you make of him at 60 mins where he didn't even bother to run back expecting someone else to cover his position. He may have had some good games recently, but that total lack of concern from will not go unoticed.

I saw that too. But didn't think that was enough to undermine a full days work. He has to pace himself. He sometimes runs so hard that he tires and needs a rest mid game. Granted he should just sit back when this happens.
 
Much improved lately, I'll put his earlier form down to World Cup fatigue and the fact he's played SO much football over the past two years. Great going forward the past few games.

If I'm being super critical, I think his final ball could be better but great to see him back to last years levels.

It was totally awful and whilst it didn't come to anything, it could well have cost us the title had they created and scored from that. It was a Micah moment for me, happy to leg fwd but then neglect your role
 
I love Kyle and was really displeased at the way we turned against him during his "trying times". I feel he is so very important to our very risky style. This explains why even Danilo cannot get in as good as he is.

However, I also feel attacking fullbacks that can go up and down with pace, can defend to a reasonable extent and CAN DELIVER BALLS ACCURATELY into the box is that missing link from our attack being great and being unplayable. Mendy is supposed to be that guy but can he even play 50% of the season?

Zinchenko is a tidy midfield type player not exactly the type of player I described above. If we have dangerous full backs, our attack goes up another gear. I am absolutely convinced about that.
