May have been an outlier performance wise but he was pretty poor from what I saw. Especially in key defensive moments. From the DM position he let players run off of him and made minimal effort to recover. When is possession and building from the back he often went to the left (clearly tactical). Once BM lost the ball on the half way line and worked a man overload towards BM’s right back. Kone just casually jogged over and the attack went on without him making the slightest effort to help out. In fact, I didn’t see him sprint once in the hour I watched. He mostly walked and sometimes jogged. Often didn’t show for the ball and certainly no effort to retrieve it. Given he’s built a reputation this must have been a very below par performance from him. Odd to see a young player just walking around in such a close game (it was 2-1 when I had to leave). Was a very good game though, cracking goals from both teams.

toon25 Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 I'd offer Maddison whatever he wanted within the remit of what's possible (FFP and wage structure). He'd add something special to this team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd add something special to this team. He’d definitely add another level for sure. Don’t see why he couldn’t float where Willock plays at the moment but obviously with more attacking emphasis. Could probably playing either side of a striker too but not as a winger obviously. Edited November 6, 2022 by ExiledGeordie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 A door-opening AM like Maddison certainly offers something we don't have. If we are increasingly looking at playing against 10 men behind the ball, then yes, he could be very useful. (still salivating at the prospect of Maxi, Isak, and Trippier at RM at the same time to be honest) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they will be safely out of any relegation threat in Jan, Maddison is literally the reason they're better than those teams you mentioned , they would be ridiculously dumb to sell him in Jan unless for some crazy money Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emotic Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 The only hope we have is that Leicester need to sell to buy, and that they can cash Maddison and Tielemans in for maximum return in January. I wouldn't mind either, and I feel that at least one of the two will be sold in January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Nice to see a club like Leicester sticking by Rodger’s tbh. It seems customary to can a manager at the first sign of trouble despite what they’ve done for the club. Rodger’s has had a very good few seasons with them and I’m happy he’s been given the chance to turn their form around. Hope they’re stupid enough to sell us Ndidi though….
