Subscriber Dan+ 1,918 Posted August 6, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted August 6, 2018 Went to Lille at the weekend. Cracking trip on the whole. Their ground is excellent although they're the biggest idiots for closing the roof on a scorching hot day. We won 1-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went down 1-0 within 5 minutes after some horrible defending. They could have been 2 up but Kasper was quality to make a double-save. After that we grew in to the game and pretty much were in control throughout. Going forward we look very fluid. Maddison once again the centre of it all and Iheanacho converting chances given to him. 4 goals in pre-season and he's looked ready to go since he came back from the World Cup which is promising for Friday agaisnt Utd as Vardy won't play. Pereira and Chilwell like to get forward to which are extra players for defenders to cope with. Pereira has slotted in fairly well too and is a stark improvement on Simpson who may look to leave. Other positive points being youngsters getting a lot of minutes - through no other choice really but when they've come on or started they've done well. Darnell Johnson, Callum Elder (previously at Wigan on loan last season), Layton Ndukwu all seem very promising. The defence needs some heavy improvement though. Morgan and Benalouane seem to be a bit shaky and will continue to be exposed against better teams in the league than those we've played in friendlies. We've been a mixed bag, some good football at times but the hideous defending is still going strong. I'm nearly certain we'll improve when Maguire and Evans are back but the thought of Morgan and Benalouane in the league terrifies me. Benalouane is reckless and Morgan's just awful now, he's costing us a goal nearly every time he plays. What a sickener that we play Man Utd at the best possible time, and yet they probably play us at the best possible time. Iheanacho's making Vardy's absence a lot less worrying though, been very impressed with him this pre-season. Think Ricardo looks a very tidy player and Maddison is going to be a star.

Subscriber Dan+ 1,918 Posted August 6, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted August 6, 2018 just read that supposed ITK on our place saying Puel's got about 5 games to save his job. If that's true then we really have got to have a reshuffle behind the scenes. It's totally unprofessional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
