Robert Huth

[Rhapsody in Blue]

Came to think of it yesterday. Hasn't Robert Huth always been extremely underrated and always gone below everyone's radar? Good in Chelsea, Stoke, Boro and now amazing in Leicester. Why wasn't he never an option for bigger clubs?

The way we "defended" (loose definition of the term) yesterday, Huth's granny would have scored one or two. He is an effective defender though; we could use one or two of them!

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

He's a dirty bastard. Should have been imprisoned for the assault on Mario in the Cup Final. He had a relatively clean game yesterday 'cos he was never in bother defensively, so much so that he ends up leading scorer on the day! Huth and thug share 75% of the same letters.

Modern day Dunney.

Limited yes. Better than our players? Definitely. The fact we didn't buy even a journey man like him in January is criminal. We knew vinny was iffy.

 

[manchester blue]

Otamedi is a modern day Dunney. Guardiola won't have him going to ground as much, there's just no need for it.

Would be our best CB by a country mile.

Would be our best CB by a country mile.

Having Dunne back - even at his age - would be our best CB by a country mile.

Huth's a thug - always a card - yellow or red - liability and so many will shy away from him.

What has to be understood is that Leicester are doing remarkably well with a lot of journeymen and late developers who have been offloaded cheap by "bigger" clubs or have bummed around the lower leagues. Rannieri deserves massive kudos for his ability to get the belief into that group of players and having identified a style of play which suits their strengths and has succeeded. Then the final thing in their favour is the number of games we are playing and are likely to play. We played 8 in Jan - Leicester had 4 games - we have 6 in Feb - 3 of which are cup games they aren't in. They will have the 3 league games. People keep commenting how we looked leggy and lazy yesterday. How's about knackered? If they keep their main players injury free and they get that amount of rest between games then Leicester should win the league from here. However next season with that squad if they were in 2, 3 or even 4 comps at this stage of the season..............

Playing in our team under the MO of our manager and Huth and their other CH Morgan would make Phil Jones look world class Remember what a disaster Morgan was a few seasons ago when they got promoted?
