How many corners did we concede when Fofana was back though? I’m sure we were far better when he was back but I could be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take those numbers for Fofana across a whole season and it's about 35 goals conceded total? Only three teams did better than that last season. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His coaching history shows you he has a poor history with defensive tactics. In a well-organised defence , all our defenders would do a sound job. Our goals conceded stats are well below average for a top team..Is that going to change whilst he's here ? I doubt it. I think the stats make it absolutely clear it IS down to individuals, though our tactics at corners seem naff as well. 75 goals in 48 games conceded with primarily a Soyuncu/Amartey partnership. Thats an awful lot of goals shipped for a Premiership side with aspirations of making Europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not in the endurance or the technique - it's in the brain. My ex girlfriend was adamant that a tennis player who believes in god will always win and when questioned on both players believing, she stated that the one who 'believes most in god' will win. Not sure how this fits into the Youri thread without reading back for context but the solution for defending corners is simple, Put any heathens on the halfway line. Ask Kasper to embrace the Nordic Aesir sky god culture if neccesary 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the root of this is an inability to organise the team to defend free kicks and corners. If players are underperforming or demotivated then questions need to be asked of individuals AND the organisation which is supposed to be motivating and coordinating them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Scottish mate had a godfearing Catholic for a girlfriend. She was Filipino, I think. After every time they shagged, she'd accuse him of leading her off the straight and narrow path and cold shoulder him until she'd been to confession! He's an atheist btw, so I guess he wasn't too bothered about leading her astray. Is Tielemans Catholic or Protestant? Do Catholic players have better stats than other players?

Brazilians are mostly Catholic. Do we need some Brazilian players? Well, my first thought is what goes on in that confession box in churches with a regular flow of Filipinas whspering their sexual exploits - I think this might warrant its own thread in the general section. As for more catholics, below shows that even the mormons can beat a mixed religious team. We need to pick one religion and stick to it. We already have buddhist monks and Vardyism...... would love some Brazilians if they could convert though 3 hours ago, MarriedaLeicesterGirl said: I'm Catholic and American.

I used to watch and post on the Atheist Experience but the comments section is soooo serious and literal, my abstractness and sillyness brought me nothing but grief. Too many are wannabe expert theologians and socialologists waffling on about critical thinking abilities. Foxestalk on steriods. However, we are distracting from Youri. We should be talking about Youri. I still want him if he wants us. I will start a thread in the general section in the next days, the subject tickles my fancy......... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't lived in the States for over 20 years! Met and married my Leicester girl in Rome, and live in Leicester now. Back to Youri: I think it is actually in his best interest to stay. He probably isn't going to get CL next season, and staying here means just playing just once a week, which will probably help his form and get him his dream move. That being said, I don't see it happening. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
He aint bald Posted 13 June 2022 Share Posted 13 June 2022 I have speculated here till blue in the face, way too much speculating, that Youri might choose to run down his contract and take a years light football and a heavy signing on fee. (The main risks being exclusion and an injury) Does he really need the pressure of a new team now, and all that effort to prove himself when he has a nice world cup shop window coming up?

One year extension vs millions banked in an instant and the chance to play and live in a pretty city like Rome, Naples or Barcelona...... and not smelly London.....if only that damned transfer fee was not so high........
