Club in turmoil? Unfortunately Mr Kilsby, who lives or lived in Leicester has a perennial bugbear about his local team. Colours any judgement he has
We are adjusting from a counter attacking based style to one that has more possession and more strings to its bow. This process has its ups and downs and whether the owners have the stomach to see it through the inevitable bad runs remains to be seen,probably not. Puel is always going to be under pressure
Maddison is going to be a star. He's 21, playing week in week out in the 10 role behind the striker, a position England need help in, and I am not sure why we would ruin him? We are giving him, a young English player, a great opportunity which he is grasping. Great to watch.
Similarly Chilwell, who is an academy product, has supplanted Fuchs, now been capped by England and coming on nicely and yet apparently "is up there with worse players ive ever seen pull on a shirt". Don't mind different opinions but when they are so bad its difficult to take them seriously
He is not the finished article, and for all the attacking positions he gets into the end product needs to be developed but at some stage a top six side is going to pay big money for him
Of course playing Pereira and Chilwell at full back and asking both to bomb on has its risks, and yesterday both centre backs were exposed by the space left in behind
It is, as discussed on here in the summer, crying out for 3-5-2 with the two full backs as wing backs and the spare central defender to cover but he seems very reluctant to do this.
Until yesterday the season had gone as expected, lost at United and to Liverpool, beat Wolves (a touch fortunately) and at Southampton
One loss at Bournemouth, whilst disappointing, and out comes the garbage from the short term thinkers
if we lose at home to Huddersfield next week then no doubt Mr Kilsby will post again
Maybe my wording was harsh, but hey its a forum, so lets debate away!
My reasoning for club in turmoil- Won the premier league and have spent over £100million and got worse. The owners must be quite confused about the situation given their business background (they did the right thing reinvesting the money but its been spent poorly (Maddison excepted)
Trying to swap to a possession based system whilst having key players suited to counter attacking. Jamie Vardy is still the main striker there, but possession based football does not suit him, he is the BiTB at long ball or fast counter attacks but the new style doesn’t suit him, Liecs have no suitable backup for him upfront despite the money spent, give the owners lack of patience (Proven with Ranieri and Snakespeare) I doubt Puel will be give the time to turn it around, hence my club in turmoil comment. Perhaps harsh but I think you have to take a step back and think, the message is not clear to outsiders or the players.
Wth all the above in mind, I just worry that Maddison could be affected but can’t think of specifics but if a club is going through change after change as a you gster coming through it can be unsettling. Maddison is the future for sure and Im glad he’s getting game time.
Gray - Full of promise Im sure will be a big success if he sorts his attitude out
Chilwell - Ill never agree with anyone saying he’s a talent, I just dont see it but many do, It baffles and confuses me. He is so positionally unaware, rarely gets back into position, doesn’t have a strong tackle in him, his strengths lie in his going forward but his end product is non existant. Costs the team multiple goals as shown yesterday.
A forum post is just someones opinion, and as with most of life we will all have different ones, yours a positively biased and mine probably negatively so, thats what a forums for though.
Regards
