SEMTEX Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 His team is in form and he's doing fine in his very limited role. He is still not particularly good, and there are still many other options. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heron Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Why not though... He's probably the most in form English full back and that's the same argument people use for wanting the likes of Vardy and not Rooney... Because Clyne and Walker are better than him, and are equally in good form. How many can you take in the squad? 25? Forgot about Walker but it all depends who they intend to have in front of them. I get the impression that not only on here but in general people expect they're defenders to be decent at attacking primarily these days, which is a load of shite imo, obviously depending on tactics, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Fair play to Simpson he's played in the majority of games and deserves his medal as much as anyone, Didn't Woy say he was only taking 7 defenders ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordiedean Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 watching the game against Swansea and it had me amazed that they won 4-0 and had 38% possession how the fuck does that work out? in the champions league next season they are going to be destroyed by allowing teams to have the ball. its no co incidence the team that likes to keep the ball and pass around you has beaten them twice this year as amazing an achievement as it is next season will be a huge eye opener for them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayern, Barca & Real for starters, then you'd have a case for PSG, Juve and Dortmund. Atleti are great, but they sure as fuck aren't knocking 4 or 5 past Leicester. So what you're basically saying is that if Leicester get to the Champions League quarter finals next year, they might get humped? I think they'd be okay with that!

Zero Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 The deciding factor is whether they can continue their counter attack tactics even when the key players like Vardy Mahrez Kante are out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 He was highly rated in Germany. Didn't Fuchs leave Schalke because he was 2nd choice left back? Didn't even start this season as Leicester's first choice left back, pretty sure that was Schlupp Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 watching the game against Swansea and it had me amazed that they won 4-0 and had 38% possession how the f*** does that work out? in the champions league next season they are going to be destroyed by allowing teams to have the ball. its no co incidence the team that likes to keep the ball and pass around you has beaten them twice this year as amazing an achievement as it is next season will be a huge eye opener for them They don't concede many though regardless. The first year in the CL is an eye opener for any side that haven't competed in Europe. Atletico Madrid average 49% possession in a league they'll probably get 86+ points in. Their CL possession rate must be lower too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parky Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Ranieri has kept it simple. They concede possession and drop off and then stay compact till they get the ball back and then all hell breaks loose with people running forwards and the ball is transitioned forward as quick as possible.
