Lack of pace on the wings

Hated it since the first day of the season. Adds fuckall and makes us so slow and ponderous. Even with Walker back just ends up having him in midfield doing fuckall passing it sideways or backwards.
Agree. The only one who adds something in there is Cancelo because he can be so creative. Obviously his form has since fallen off a cliff. An extra man playing square passes in a midfield we already dominate is pretty pointless. When it’s Walker it’s even more bizarre as we then lack his pace at the back and he’s pretty average on the ball. There were games he was seeing more of the ball in midfield than our creative midfielders.
 
Attitude that's the only thing, Leicester fans say his head drops alot. Has a lot of quality but how much would he cost that's the problem

Leicester certainly need the cash these days?

He has more end product in the small spaces than Jack and even Bernie.

Don't know his attitude, just that he is a very underrated player, albeit, injury prone of late.
 
I'd be happy with that. Maddison is the best available, has great vision, passing and dead-ball delivery.
Why would you not be happy with that; what gives you a bad feeling about him?

From what I've seen online from Leicester fans, his attitude is the only thing holding him back, his head drops as soon as everything isn't going well. Plus price tag English creative midfielder he's going to cost alot
 
Pep is a big fan and Estiarte has also spoken to him about him.
Griezmann has 2 - 3 years left in him. Imagine having him in his new box to box 'French' role for a couple years - will really help bridge the gap. Would be good if we could develop a genuine midfielder from our academy...U23'S....I think the Midfield position is an easier one to develop..don't need to have a mad genetic make up that CF's and CB's now have to have to be at the very top.. surely we should focus on developing a ball playing midfielder from our U23's / Academy - sort of sacrifice other positions. It's the easiest option for any academy - full back aside perhaps. Brentford looked at academy stats realised that for prem level they are nigh on a waste of time and scrapped theirs. I think we should create the first ever specialist position academy. Why develop lots of decent players for say Burnley - I know we are catching Chelsea academy with some of our trfs but a bet it cost a fortune sending kid son flights / hotels / tournaments etc around the world which we do
 
The only reason we gave Mahrez an extension was due to letting both Raz and Jesus leave in the same window, we should have had the balls to let all 3 go, but we shit out and handed him a contract he didn’t deserve.
Mahrez still had this year on his contract. It had nothing to do with Gabby and Raz. They just made an inexplicably bad decision in extending his deal. The fact that Pep insists on playing him so much only makes it worse.
 
We’re currently second on foot of an extremely disjointed season and we happen to be up against an Arsenal side that has hit their straps early and are full of confidence but doom and gloom levels are off the charts.

Seems like a lot of supporters have short memories, Pep has constantly changed our team as other clubs have adapted to us. He has so far always managed to stay well ahead but there are far too many on here who seem to know better.

We lost to Brentford while our entire squad was looking at Qatar, we dropped points to Everton, playing poorly in miserable conditions. I see KDB is being moved towards the knackers yard for a poor game despite the fact he should have had 2 assists (Stones and Rodri).

Our team is in a bit of flux at the moment, we miss Dias leadership, Walker’s pace, we have few players in the departure lounge and so far haven’t mixed control with intensity but we’ve been champions 4 times in the last 5 seasons. We have the muscle memory of winners, we just need a little spark. Hopefully that comes on Thursday.
No harm in discussing the shortcomings of the squad though.
