Good thread. Interesting and chewy for GP.
Mwepu will be great. Early days. And gut feel is that Caicedo well be a smasher with a bit more game time under his belt.
Ali Mac needs game time to develop too, but I wonder where that will come from. Potter being pretty consistent now with...
Huge sign that Maupay is maturing that many seem to have missed on Sunday. After the first goal all of the Leicester players took turns to try to wind Neil up (orchestrated by Shmichael). He took loads of digs, hair ruffles, verbals. And he did nothing more than smile. Maybe he's turned a...
World quality: Bissouma
Prem quality: Dunk, Cucurella, Lallana,
Will be Prem quality: Sanchez, Webster, Trossard, Moder, Lamptey
All the rest - very servicable Prem players
With some good (to great) youngsters coming through in large numbers.
It's starting to happen isn't it.
We saw how hard we are to play against with pace on both wings today. March on one side and Cucu on the other. The oppo defence can't double up on the one speedster, they have to cover both so they drop wider and deeper - which makes them more vulnerable down the middle. Swap Lamptey for March...
He set up a stunning opportunity by himself and slid a super ball into the box. Another day and that was a goal. Yes he looked nervous, and he seemed lost at times, but Leicester are the masters at moving you out of position and exploiting the gap. He's had half a game in the Prem before he come...
I'm not too worried about the nomenclature, but a ticket office, for me, isn;t a ticket office if there aren't steps down to it. I blame this beauty......
FA Cup final tickets, buying low grade crap at the shop, getting a replacement for my season ticket book. So many times. Happy, happy...
Solly back and Cucurella as competition
Hopefully Lamptey back.
Moder rapidly becoming this season's BW.
Tross clearly benefiting from the confidence his Belgian games have given him.
This team will get better after having already picked up 9 from 12.
Harder run of games, but improving team...
Still watchable, but not compulsive viewing any longer. A comfy cardi.
One thing that struck me and Mrs Couldn't Be Hyypia is the music. They have gone very "Homes Under the Hammer" with very literal music choices illustrating each scene/point. Not sure they need to trowel it on that much.
He's fantastic. What a signing.
But as others have said, where the hell do all these midfielders fit in? Some very able players are going to be pretty disappointed.
Gross missing on Saturday, and I think it showed (although I'm not accomplished enough as an analyst to be able to work out what...
Their pressing game served them very well. But in the Prem, it's not possible to keep that up against sides that can pass round you. Their energy level dropped in last 20 minutes and there was really only one side going to take the points. Didn;t see their strikers in the last 20 minutes.
We just saw the difference between a side that has played together in the Prem for two + years under Potter against a side that has come up this season. They haven't lost in 15 games - the Prem is just damn hard.
