I know this is just about players rather than a match thread but how has ref given that? And then need to go the monitor lol and then not give a corner..

 

Tbf it did look like he cut through the player first, if was a good tackle but I can see why the ref gave it in the first place. A good example of why VAR is a positive, as it often is outside the Premier League. 

 

The rule that its then a drop ball is stupid though. The ref has done the right thing by the letter of the law but its poorly written rule. It should have been a corner.

Also, interesting to be watching S4Cs coverage, in Welsh, but all the graphics (score, times, subs, etc) are in English!

 

 

Rather helpfully, subtitles in English.

That's because the feed is 'European', I suspect on this occasion. Normally on S4C the graphics etc. are in Cymraeg.

Almost funny. 🙄🙄

 

More importantly, Page showed what a proper manager can do to influence a game. He changed shape and tactics at half time, which worked.

 

Rodgers? No chance.

Tielemans & Thomas Involved In International Triumphs

The international action continued for members of Leicester City's first team squad on Thursday as three Foxes featured across the UEFA Nations League and friendlies.

- Youri Tielemans was part of Belgium's 2-1 win at home to Wales
- Çağlar Söyüncü played the first half of Turkey's 3-3 draw
- Luke Thomas came on as England Under-21s beat Italy Under-21s

 

Youri Tielemans started Belgium's 2-1 triumph over Wales at Stade Roi Baudouin in Brussels, which was secured thanks to first-half goals from Kevin De Bruyne and Michy Bastshuayi.

The Leicester midfielder played 76 minutes before being replaced by Hans Vanaken and while Kieffer Moore pulled one back for the visitors, it was the Red Devils who earned three points.

They remain second in League A Group 4, three points behind leaders Netherlands, who Roberto Martínez's men face on Sunday (7:45pm kick-off) in their final fixture. 

Timothy Castagne was an unused substitute in Brussels, as was Wales goalkeeper Danny Ward. The shot-stopper could be involved when the Dragons host Poland at Cardiff City Stadium in three days' time (7:45pm kick-off). Wales are currently bottom of the pool, with one point from their five matches.  

 

Also in the Nations League, City centre-back Çağlar Söyüncü captained Turkey in the first half of their 3-3 draw with Luxembourg at Başakşehir Fatih Terim Stadium in Istanbul. It was 2-2 at the interval, with Marvin Martins' opener cancelled out by former Fox Cengiz Ünder's penalty. 

Daniel Sinani then put the visitors back ahead, before Maxime Chanot made it 2-2. Gerson Rodrigues looked to have won the game for Luxembourg, but for an 87th minute goal from Ismail Yüksek. 

The Crescent-Stars have now confirmed first place in League C Group 1 prior to facing Faroe Islands in Tórshavn on Sunday (7:45pm kick-off), in turn gaining promotion to League B.

Çağlar Söyüncü
Çağlar Söyüncü captained Turkey in the first half against Luxembourg.

Earlier in the day, Foxes full-back Luke Thomas played the final 20 minutes of England Under-21s' 2-0 friendly win over Italy Under-21s.

Replacing Levi Colwill in the 71st minute of the contest, the defender helped see out a clean sheet after Rhian Brewster's double inside the first five minutes sealed success on the road for Lee Carsley's side.

Next up for the Young Lions is another friendly against Germany Under-21s next Tuesday (7:45pm kick-off).

There is set to be further Foxes involvement on Friday, with LCFC.com and @LCFC on social media the places to go for updates and information. 

All times BST.

Gareth missing trick with Maddison snub

 

James Maddison's England career amounts to just 34 minutes in a 7-0 win over Montenegro in November 2019.

It has been almost three years since he last represented his country but there is no sign that his exile will end any time soon.

 

That is such a shame. I would have loved to have seen him in this latest squad, for the games against Italy and Germany, and I believe the Leicester midfielder has been playing well enough to be included in the group Gareth Southgate selected.

 

Leicester were defeated 6-2 by Tottenham last Saturday but Maddison could not have done any more to turn things Leicester's way — scoring the goal just before half-time that drew them level.

He played as he always does, with fearlessness and invention, and that's hard to do in a struggling team. 
 

Maddison has three goals so far this season. He scored 18 in 53 games last year and I have seen enough of him to feel certain when I say there is so much more maturity in his game. He can pick a pass and take an excellent set-piece; he works hard, runs miles and is always enthusiastic.


But for England, he still gets overlooked.

Southgate has been bang on about so many things during his time in charge of England and this is not a view that is intended to cause any kind of diversion. But I just feel a trick is being missed in not giving him an opportunity to see if he can transfer his talents to the highest level.

 

Admittedly, Maddison didn't do himself any favours when he was photographed in a casino in October 2019, the night England were playing in the Czech Republic. Maddison had pulled out of the squad for that game, having said he was unwell, and it was not a good look — even though he was handed his sole England cap a month later.

 

At the time, Southgate said Maddison would have 'learned a lesson a hard way' but as things stand, I wonder if the England manager is going to see whether there has been any change from a player who has so many different attributes.

In this squad for the games against Italy and Germany, England have 12 defenders. When you consider that Declan Rice can play as a central defender too, it implies that caution and keeping things tight is their priority. For what other reason would there be 13 defensive players?
 

Even when Kalvin Phillips withdrew over the weekend, there wasn't even a slight possibility that Maddison would be drafted in as a wildcard to fill the void.

 

Gareth's argument would certainly reference the four Nations League games in June. He played 4-3-3 against Hungary, in the last fixture at Molineux, and ended up seeing England get picked off on the counter-attack and lose 4-0.

 

He has studied the results of tournaments over a number of years and the most successful teams are the ones who keep clean sheets and, of course, I respect that view — how could you not respect a man who has taken England to a World Cup semi-final and European Championship final?

 

Taking the last step, however, requires players who have the courage to take risks and play passes that have a bit of imagination. In the final of Euro 2020, for instance, I never thought England were going to win once Leonardo Bonucci had equalised for Italy.
 

At the point in a game when things are tight, Maddison would be a fantastic option to introduce, say, in the 70th minute. He has the tools to change the direction of the match and provide the ingenuity that makes the difference.

 

Of course, I understand the value of clean sheets but to concentrate on the defensive side takes so much else away.

 

It would be understandable to prioritise the back four if we had the best back four or five in the world but we haven't got that.

 

I have sympathy for Maddison because it must be hard knowing he is playing this well in a World Cup year but, for all that he pushes, the door back into the England squad won't open. He has the qualities to offer this England team so much. It's a shame, I feel, that we will not get to see them in Qatar.
