Leicester (N) - Community Shield | Post-Match Thread

Agenda yesterday.
Tierney books Pep for berating the 4th official whilst wearing a similar coloured T-shirt to City's kit (something that ITV just wouldn't let go of) while little Brendan gets just a word for using his Cuban heels to smash a water bottle into the crowd.
Welcome back to a new season City
 
I have seen nothing from Ake to suggest he is anywhere near good enough for us on so many levels.

He can only play left side of the pairing and still can't pass wide of himself.

He's slow, positionally poor, and the game at Newcastle last season gave me concerns.

We will drop a major bollock allowing Laporte to leave instead of Ake, who was only ever bought because the club thought Stones would be leaving and Dias would be the right side of a Laporte pairing.

The third centre back and the continued reliance on Fern's legs could cost us dear.

I know he is young, has time, his advocates, but I also see little in Torres?

He's not quick, he doesn't beat a man with trickery, we initially bought him as a winger, but even down the middle, you forget he is even on the pitch in the large majority of games.

Perhaps diplomatic for me to just say not my cup of tea and think people possibly overly optimistic he can be relied upon to be a back up striker, because he can't cut it out wide?

Some very worrying points re Ake & Ferran. I can’t see them being moved on so soon. We have far too many happy squad players but they lack the required skills to win matches.

I don’t see anything in torres at all not a RW or a striker he looks to timid and scared, looks like a Ed’s player not a international player.
