Displayname Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 11 hours ago, Nine said: If you dont understand that the way we play and train under Howe will invite injuries to players that are prone to (especially muscle/tendon) injury then I’m not sure what to tell you. We now deploy one of the most intense, fast paced systems in club football. I also gave you cold, hard evidence that he is getting injured more frequently under this set up this season.. the % of games isn’t the the entire context here and that stat is thrown off by singular, isolated injuries of seasons past anyway. I understand if you are attached to the idea of him staying, and it’s ok to disagree on this. I'm not a sport physician so I have no idea what causes certain type of injuries. In general we haven't had that many injuries so it doesn't seem obvious to me that our playstyle makes us so vulnerable to them. And we have been playing with an intense playstyle ever since Howe came, it's not something he started with at the beginning of this season. Not going to deny that I'm attached to the idea of keeping one of our best and most exciting players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been linked with lots of left backs, but he's the one who has impressed me the most. Looks very two-footed. Packs a good shot with his right foot.

Cronky Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Too good a player to miss out on, but Leicester will try to start a bidding war, so unless we're his first preference, I think he'll go elsewhere. Looked a very unhappy bunny after the Fulham game, talking about a lack of commitment from the team. However, it doesn't feel like, long-term, he's committed to the club himself, which may create a certain issue in the dressing room, whatever his performances on the pitch.

He will have a year left in the summer so only so much war can be created. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sushimonster85 Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 I'm becoming more confident with Maddison. Largely because the only other club consistently linked with him is Spurs. You'd think he'd have be pretty short sighted to see them as a better bet going forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure there are rumours he wants to move to London so spurs will probably be favourites. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danh1 Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Not sure I want Maddison. Cracking player but seems to have completely shrunk in Leicester’s fight to stay up, been shite and attitude has been horrific by all accounts. Then again I’m sure Eddie will sort that.

Stal Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 I like Maddison, but I wonder if I just have 'Paqueta' feelings towards him. You lot will know better, but I'm trying to work out where he would play. Left side of attack is the obvious one and I reckon Isak will make that spot his own.

Mikky Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Having a player like Maddison allows us to play 433 4231 4141 4411 442 - just this one player allows us to be so flexible, which we need to be next season - I’m all for it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of the reason Maddison is such an exciting signing is his ability to play effectively in so many positions. Playing at home against a bottom half side who are sitting deep? Play him on the right of the 3 in midfield and he can move forward, effectively meaning we can transition into a 4-2-3-1 with him as the 10. Playing against a top side? Play him on the right of the front 3 and he can drop back and play as another midfield presence when needed. He adds something we don't currently have.

We don't have any alternatives. I'd like to see Isak himself with Maddison & an ASM type. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just not sure he can do that. Edited May 10, 2023 by madras Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
