[PL] Leicester City (A): Post Match

[Lecter]

I don't think we play well with him, I don't think we play well without him but I'd rather start with him at the moment than watch 4 non-goal scoring midfielders passing it around in the opposition box.

Agree with the first sentence

But I just dont think hes a goal threat at least not enough to put up with carrying him as a passenger

He hasnt scored in 4 starts (2 of which were against Exeter)

[PTP]

All well and good saying that....but I've paid £860 this season for my ticket, and I hate going the ****ing game and can't remember enjoying it once this year. I'm already dreading going Saturday...it's got dire 0-0 all over it.

Edit...this was in response to elephant dude asking for patience

[Lecter]

Origi will be fit soon hopefully, we might get a game out of Sturridge before he cries off again

Ings will be about 6-7 weeks before hes fit

[Ams12]

agree with all of that.

Just feels like a reset everytime! While the lower ranked teams catch up and the wealthier clubs push on...LFC get left in the same spot and now we wonder why we always end up mid table/outside the top 4-6!
Next couple of windows i want to see genuine quality brought in with Klopp backed 100% and no more squad fillers or silky transfers that split the fanbase!

Trouble is, the players who will improve us are the ones clubs are less willing to sell in Jan.

Hmmm, I'm not so sure. If there are some hidden gems out there, they should be easier to pick up in January when there's fewer players in the market.

The only thing I'm sure of with LFC right now is we've got the right manager. The rest is likely to change dramatically. Zero consolation for season ticket holders- but we will get better.

Who'd have thought. replacing good players with midtable ones over the last 5 years has turned us into a midtable team.

So depressingly predictable huh?

Agree with this but flipside is how do Leicester get where they are buying the players they have

[PTP]

I'll also add pinning any hopes on origi is asking a lot...I know he can't be any worse, but from what I've seen he's still very raw and a long way to go for him....so I'm not expecting him to come back and suddenly we start winning games....but at least hell give us some pace and movement in the final third which would be welcome

This side would be better with Origi up top

This side would probably be even better than that with Ings up top

This side would definitely be even better than that with a fit Sturridge up top

There are a lot of scouts who must be ****ing hating what Leicester are doing this season. And a lot of club owners who must be wondering why they pay the massive fees - It's no fluke either they look a properly good team.

Kante, Mahrez and Vardy along with som honest hard working pros playing well in a system that suits the team set up by an intelligent manager. It's unprescedented in modern football. They mentioned it in commentry, but the last time this happened was with Clough.

League is effectively over on 2nd Feb, how sad. Chavs will be closing in on us as well.

Agreed BUT he has qualities I like

Firstly hes quick
Secondly he puts a shift in
Thirdly he attacks defenders
Fourthly he attacks the ball in the box

was just about to post the same thing. Shows how desperate we are that we are relying on an unproven kid.

Ridiculous state of affairs.

I really liked his hat-trick against Southampton. A flukey tap in, a worldie, and a proper CF's header. The kids got potential. We've no choice but to see what he can do when he's fit.
