Johnson expects tough Tigers test

Leicester midfielder Andy Johnson says his side will take nothing for granted when they face the Championship's bottom side Hull City on Tuesday.
The Foxes lost 2-0 to West Brom on Saturday and Johnson told BBC Sport: "We matched the red hot favourites in this division in most departments.
"But there is no way we can go it and think it is only Hull in our next game and that we will easily beat them.
"We cannot afford to approach this game any differently to our last one."
Despite Leicester's defeat at The Hawthorns, Johnson was encouraged by his side's display against the club he left in the summer.

There is no doubt we have got a very good squad here - it is young but with the experience we gain from playing games we can do very, very well

City held the Baggies for 83 minutes before losing out to Darren Kenton's own goal and a Kevin Phillips penalty.
"We were toe to toe with them," Johnson added. "Neither side played particularly attractive football but that is the way it goes.
"A lot of games in this division are battles and you have to win the battles and then play the football.
"It was like two heavyweights out there - swinging at each other and taking it on the chin. They got a lucky punch in and that was the difference.
"Hull will put 11 men out there who will fancy it at our place because it is a beautiful stadium and a nice pitch.
"We will have to match their endeavour, their passion and their enthusiasm. Once you get on top in a game then that is the time you can start to play your football and really go to town.
"There is no doubt we have got a very good squad here. It is young but with the experience we gain from playing games we can do very, very well."

Yeah, but your not payed thousands of pounds a week to do just that

True, my point is Williams is the best passer of the ball in our Club and i think he is capable of passing wheter it would be 10 or 50 yards he can pass the ball!

 

[Profondo Rosso]

Can you explain who we have who can do better?

No one, that's my point, as i keep saying our entire central midfield is shite and urgentlyu needs sorting out, even more than our keeper. Wesolowski has potential but he's still not ready yet, but still better than Williams, Hughes and AJ

Yep, that's right, all expect the goalscoring and clean sheets department :icon_roll

he does normaly pass the ball 10 or 50 yards the 10 yards pass goes to the opposition and the 50 yd goes in the stand.

Weso is not our savior and has not really showed anything to the fact that he is. I will judge him when he has played a few games on the trot without breaking his legs. As for being better than the other 3, WTF are you on about?

Our biggest failure over the last few years i'm afraid,pedestrian is about all I can say on the matter, theres no ball winner(an half Lennon would do ) theres no feeder (like muzzy) to the front men, ponderous at best,no idea at worst.

............and no idea at best.

 

[Bilborough Fox]

Williams has quality, but seemingly no passion or drive.
He could be our best midfielder, but likes the idea of being the player who plays defence splitting through balls (which rarely work because he is too lazy) and the player who scores a couple of spectacular goals every season, as opposed to the Muzzy Izzet style player he had/has the potential to be something like.

At the moment, I would pick Wesolowski over Williams if they were both fit.

I would play anybody who give a s##t about the Foxes rather than that lazy gifted sod named Williams.

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

I rate Williams - I think hes about the best center-mid we've got at the minute. A bit lax on the ball sometimes, that's my biggest critiscism of him.

But they did match them in the goal scoring department..... just need to get the sense of direction right.
