Stadt Posted 17 October 2021 Share Posted 17 October 2021 I’ve been a bit concerned about his game off the ball but he was brilliant yesterday. Covered the ground well and was imposing enough to win it back multiple times. In games where we’re going to have 55%+ of the ball against weaker opponents we’re probably better off starting Soumare over Ndidi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could not understand Pogba not being pushed further forward, they gave us a great platform to play. Soumare and Daka are not going to take a year to adjust and affect this team. The more Soumare plays the more the question of Ndidi's position becomes a conversation. Yeah I meant Uniteds set up tbf mate. I love Pogba and think he's class, he's wasted in a 2 man pivot though on occasions, certain games it just doesn't work. Still Ndidi for me, but Soumare and Daka will get plenty of minutes as the season wears on, especially when the FA cup starts soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewquayFox Posted 17 October 2021 Share Posted 17 October 2021 Looks like our scouting team have unearthed another gem, him & Tielemans were brilliant yesterday, Ndidi slots in as the dm when fit and we switch to a back 4 or Maddison misses out but he looked back to his best yesterday. What a marvellous conundrum for Rodgers to have.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxyLeon Posted 17 October 2021 Share Posted 17 October 2021 I said right at the start of the season that it was pretty clear when we play with a back 3, that Ndidi should miss out. The team has always struggled when Ndidi has been asked to play in a double pivot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enmac Posted 18 October 2021 Share Posted 18 October 2021 From today's Guardian : Soumaré proving himself at Foxes Perhaps it was the absence of anything resembling a midfield for Manchester United that made him stand out, but Boubakary Soumaré excelled for Leicester in front of the back three. Leicester have been undermined by their many injuries so far this season, and with no Wilfried Ndidi, who arguably has not been quite the same since his knee problem last season, there were fears among home fans that Leicester would not be able to exploit what is clearly a problem area for United. But the 22-year-old Soumaré, signed from Lille in the summer, was a beacon of calm alongside Youri Tielemans at the back of midfield, facilitating the Belgian’s forward sallies, and helping cut off the supply to an isolated Cristiano Ronaldo. Soumaré didn’t make a single tackle in the game but he didn’t need to, making more interceptions than any other Leicester player.

I've been critical of that part of his game for us, but it was excellent. He was tidy on the ball too. His best performance for us by far. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly not a destroyer/DM type like Wilf, but he sure does have something about him on yesterday’s performance. The half Wilf, half Youri comments do seem to have some viability after yesterday.

Lcfc-1992 Posted 18 October 2021 Share Posted 18 October 2021 I’m sure it’s happened a few times where Ndidi has been out and whoever replaces him plays well, then there’s a few comments about Ndidi might not get his place back straight away. He comes back and he plays as good as we know he can, let’s hope for the same again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be an asset to any team in the PL. Perhaps only Chelsea don't need him. He'd start at least 30 games a season for Liverpool, man U and.man City 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyn Posted 18 October 2021 Share Posted 18 October 2021 (edited) A couple of recovery runs he made first half showed a turn of pace that he hadn't demonstrated before, which was very encouraging. Edited 18 October 2021 by martyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
