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...
Parky Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Played 25 league games in his last season. But he was well liked by the supporters. 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.

Troll Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Danny Simpson is playing in a well drilled, well organised defensive unit that understand each other. In Hodgson's England side he's be the Danny Simpson we all remember. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harking back to my comment 3 posts ago, I doubt in the mid to late nineties we had any possession at all either. Gillespie, Lee and Ferdinand caning it up to the opposition end, Ginola taking on players on the other side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. As quick as possible, by all means, extremely direct, effective and in a sense, aggressive Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozy Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 The best thing is that the to an extent, all of the front 6 have a licence to swarm on their counter attacks. It's a proper thing of beauty when it comes together and another step to moving away from the defensive posession based football which popped up in response to Spain and Barcelona.

They did but it wasn't 4-0 and Atletico didn't have far more shots on goal than them. There's a difference between a dogged defensive display and what Leicester often do, which is dominate all the important attacking statistics without having most of the ball. It's extremely impressive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiLvOR Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Him and Fuchs haven't received many plaudits but have been a fantastic as part of that defensive unit tbf. Fuchs has received quite a few IMO. Been the best LB in the league this season for me. I thought he looked well dodgy at SJP, but he's certainly got better every time I've seen him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
