The Foxes have only picked up one point from their opening seven top-flight matches, having lost six matches in a row. Recent 5-2 and 6-2 defeats away at Brighton and Tottenham respectively have increased the pressure on under-fire manager Brendan Rodgers. Tielemans' focus now turns to securing a spot in the Belgium squad ahead of this winter's World Cup in Qatar - but the Leicester midfielder says it is difficult to get his club's poor domestic form out of his head while on international duty. "I'm happy to get a bit of fresh air here [with Belgium] because it's tough at Leicester right now," the midfielder said in a Belgium press conference. "It's clear that things are not going well at the club. We are doing everything we can as a team." "At Leicester, the consecutive defeats have affected us as a group. We need to benefit from this break to recharge our batteries. It's hard to get it off my mind as it keeps running through my head. Only my kids sometimes prevent me from thinking about it." Tielemans was linked to a move away from Leicester, with current Premier League leaders Arsenal keen on the 25-year-old before that interest cooled later in the summer. The Belgian midfielder's contract at Leicester expires at the end of this season but he opted to remain at the King Power Stadium for the current campaign. Tielemans insists he has no regrets about that decision to stay, despite the club's lowly league position. "I'm not going to speak too much about my contract situation at the moment," he added. "I didn't leave Leicester in the summer as I always said the project had to be the right one." "Just because things are getting worse now at Leicester doesn't mean I should regret [staying]." "He" didn't stay. More like no one wanted him! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I strongly contest that view some clubs would have approached his agent and been told that he didn’t fancy them so don’t bother enquiring no one of high enough stature was prepared to pay what we wanted clubs that may have done so - he wasn’t interested 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phenom Posted 20 September 2022 Share Posted 20 September 2022 (edited) I bet clubs that he wanted weren’t offering high enough wages and he told him to wait until the summer when they wouldn’t have to pay a transfer fee and use those funds in his wages instead.

Mickyblueeyes Posted 15 October 2022 Share Posted 15 October 2022 As much as I try, I no longer have any connection to him as a player. Whether he is on the pitch or not. It’s very hard to actually feel he is still “one of ours”. Yes, I know FA Cup goal, etc. and I know, great goal but he doesn’t want to be here and despite what anyone says, you can see it. I’m sure others have different feelings but it’s just the way it is. He’s a void. Seeing him as captain to today was embarrassing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 15 October 2022 Share Posted 15 October 2022 He's playing so within himself, and has been for sometime. Stuck in 3rd gear. Not playing terribly. But giving way less than he's capable of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vacamion Posted 15 October 2022 Share Posted 15 October 2022 Youri was at his best for us when he had an in-form Wilf behind him, was playing quite far forward behind our attackers and threading passes, "conducting the orchestra" in an attacking sense and also scoring the occasional worldie. This season he seems to be postioned positioned a lot further back. There were times today when he was in the defensive line, quite often further back than the full backs. I'm not sure if that's Youri's doing, or part of Brendan's masterclass. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmono84 Posted 16 October 2022 Share Posted 16 October 2022 A current typical performance from Youri. Starts ok and made a great pass in the first half which led to a good chance but then looked the standard Youri misplacing the shortest passes. He did better today than most games he’s played this season but he’s still no where near an acceptable level. 5/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seems to be a pattern emerging, agents probably being contacted by Barca & Real advising them to get the players to run their contracts down, with a promise of the big move. It nearly worked for Real with Mbappe, but he changed his mind at the last minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wattsup Posted 19 October 2022 Share Posted 19 October 2022 It was discussed on Radio Leicester that Youri is now playing most games at right back as with Dewsbury Hall staying to the left and Maddison coming inside from the right he has to support Castagne on the right hand side or he is completely isolated Not only is this a waste of his talent to provide passes into the final third it also leaves a huge hole in the middle of the field that the opposition exploits when our attack breaks down I assume this must be under Rodgers instructions as surely he would not choose to position himself there I still think he is our most talented ball player if played in his best position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Move out to RB, Castagne pushes further up. I imagine he also doesn't want to crowd space around Maddison - if Tielemans pushes up centrally, opposition would easily target that area to mark or occupy, meaning Maddison has less space to be creative in. Not saying it's right or wrong, just the observation. Problem with that, is like you say, once we're caught out, there's lots of gaps to exploit. And once it becomes our only tactic, it then becomes easier for opposition to overcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
