Cov are missing from the bottom one for me

 

[Payne74]

Not sure they were outwitted, they just have a whole back four who can’t defend for shit when teams have a go at them

Rodgers game plan was to break the press and use the pace of Barnes and Vardy against their back 4 so I would say Rodgers outwitted Pep with his tactics.

 

[TommyK]

We have so many players of quality now it's hard to know where to start.

Barnes will be playing in the Euros if he continues like he has.

Youri has been just outstanding the first 3 games of the season. Teams will start to recognise this. Can he still do it when he's getting kicked as soon as he gets the ball?

Castagne might just be the complete full back. He's solid in defence, knows when to go forward, and when he gets there...wow his delivery is just excellent.

But MOTM for me was Mendy. Honestly thought his time here was up. But he's been brilliant again. Looks like a different player.

BR i was completely calling you out the first half. Honestly thought you'd rolled over and let Pep trickle your belly. But well done. That was a second half to be proud of.

 

[TommyK]

No.

Yes

Good argument through.

 

[Feriol]

Castagne, Mendy, Tielemans, Barnes, Vardy. I couldn't pick which one was MOTM!

Honorable mentions for Justin, and also Amartey given the circumstances.

 

[SilverFox]

Stick Ricardo on the right wing. Boom.

 

[Payne74]

Yes

Good argument through.

No.

How can there be any judgement after 3 games, it's a great position to be in but if one was to be the default RB I would pick Ricardo at the moment.

 

[Skitzo]

Stick Ricardo on the right wing. Boom.

given we just signed a right winger that might be a waste

 

[Skitzo]

Just putting this out there.....he's better than Richardo

its Ricardo

 

[homer]

its Ricardo

It’s ‘It’s’

 

[Skitzo]

It’s ‘It’s’

no one likes a pedant Homer ...

 

[TommyK]

Let see...Richardo is amazing. Best fullback in the league last year. Castagne has looked fantastic in defence, has 3 assists and a goal to his name in his first 3 games.

It's an amazing problem to have.

 

[Blaarev]

It’s ‘It’s’

It’s ‘It’s ‘It’s.’‘

 

[fitz]

Play two right backs and a right winger. Give the opposition some thing to think about that would. Maybe even allow more room for Barnes down the left.

 

[sparky79]

i honestly think I may have been in a drowning or michael hutchence enduced euphoria since May 2016. To see a Leicester side, unhappy at finishing 5th in the prem, then come out under strength at the start of the next season and spank every team they come up against is just ridiculous.
amartey deserves plaudits. in the right channel, time and again he stepped forward to press the ball and Castagne, Tielemans and Praet had chance to pick up the ball. we could have saved £40m there.
Keeping Mendy has been a master stroke. Both Puel and Rodgers have seen something that nearly no fan has.
Castagne and Justin are just great scouting.
Barnes is already worth £50m+

 

[M17TT C]

Given how well both full/wing backs have started, Ricardo won't be rushed back.

He'll be used as a sub and for the Europa games until he is fully fit.

I think we'll see Timmy moved to the left side though once Ricardo is back to his old self.

 

[Orifice]

Just think what the mood in the camp is like now compared to the end of last season.

 

[Volpone]

Rodgers deserves a lot of praise. Said it's taken him 18 months to get the collective squad to play a game in that way. More than one way to win a game.

 

[sparky79]

weve got a real opportunity here. with home games against West Ham and Villa up next we could be 15 points after 5 games....
