Leicester City (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

Yes but he's also a young local city fan.
I'd rather that than some lad from Spain or Brazil who couldn't give a shit.
Cut him some slack
I just want the best mate, I take that over where he’s from.
I know what you mean about cutting slack, but for me despite being “only 20”, he’s had more than enough opportunities to show he’s up to scratch.

But just to be clear, yep, I love local lads coming through too. Brilliant what Foden has done over the years, and I deffo wanna see McAtee start next match for example, he was excellent today.
 
Go and read the full post (if you actually can focus long enough or read well enough) where I actually list a number of positives you absolute fool
Fuck off you negative prick..
You slated Kevin..you always have a pop at some player...
Hope you support them better at the game..
 
I hated the vitriol directed at Edgy, it was bound to affect his confidence. Saw him at the driving range in Bardsley (Oldham) now and again, quiet and unassuming lad, he didn't deserve that shit.
No he didn't, the fact he showed balls as big as space hoppers in scoring that pen against Gillingham was awesome & a huge "fuck you" to the haters.
 
Well if you don’t understand it mate, I can’t speak for others, but from my pov …

… Have a look at how often he’s out of position when we concede, have a look how often his passes are non-progressive, have a look at the times he gives the ball away, have a look at how often he gets outmuscled in 50/50s, have a look at how often he scores, have a look at how often he’s a passenger in midfield, have a look at how slow he is in the sprint.

Just to be clear I’m not necessarily talking about just about today’s game.
Have a look at his birth certificate.
 
A relief to win today (just the one silly giveaway from Gvardiol this time,) with some good performances but our lack of running power and energy was apparent again in the 2nd half particularly. Something that must start to be addressed in January. Nevertheless Kovacic had a good game and Bernardo supported him well but we need more that have the same energy. Savinho man of the match for me, and well pleased for McAtee. Hopefully he will get more chances now.
 
So how does ot work with squad numbers, I take it we have a smaller squad so any additions won’t make a difference in who we name, but say we get three do have to drop 3 or is there space?
We currently have 2 "open/free" spots available from the 17 permitted so we can add 2 players of any status without issue. Homegrown is full and club trained obviously doesn't come into it with potential new signings. We could remove rodri from the list for the season as he isn't going to be back to play any part which would make room for a third with no real issue if we have that many lined up.

For the CL, should we actually qualify for the next phase which is currently in doubt, the squad can be amended mid season with a maximum of 3 changes/additions so that's the limitation we'll likely be working to and why any more than a maximum of 3 signings is highly unlikely. We could make more signings in theory but we'd have to sell players first to register them and some would have to miss out on CL registration.
 
Have a look at his birth certificate
?

He’s made 46 first team appearances for us, and he’s 20 years old according to a quick wiki glance.

He’s had opportunities and then some. And at 20 he’s not “very young” in footballing terms to me. I’ve listed my concerns with him in another post on here. He may become a better player in time, one worthy of a starting place in a top 4 side, but I don’t see it. I’d like to see him moved on - with a buy-back clause if needed, in case you’re right, but as I say, I just can’t see it at the moment.

The drop off in quality which he represents is major weakness in our team imho.

If Pep thinks he's good enough.
He's good enough
 
Haaland had to remind Pep to thank our fans cheering him after the win.
Yep, saw that. Pep's normally very good at that. Maybe he's just caught up in the moment.
 
Did we ? I can only remember Ortega making one decent save second half - the tip over from Vardy's header. Apart from the earlier glaring miss by him, they didn't batter us.
I'm sure it depends on what tv channel you watch influences it - I was watching it on South African tv and the two commentators (British) were pretty neutral and my view was a relatively balanced game - but when my feed died 15 minutes before the end and I turned overhad to Sky I was being informed by Mr Neville and his sidekick that I had been watching a pretty one-sided game that City were lucky to be winning........!!

Cnuts I too watch a S A stream and they’re great
 
A win is a win is a win.
Ok, not without flaws, but you need to win to gain the all important element of confidence. Win against Wham and it starts to flood back.
Top 4 is easily attainable and a key to income.
I’m confident we will improve now, not to former greatness, but to respectability.
There were hints the other day that McAtee would be made available in the window. Even if he turns out to be relatively ordinary we should keep him until our midfield problems are solved. He is a committed trier, with young legs and energy, just what we need to start our climb. Great cameo today.
