Ndidi will never play as a CB for maresca - the main issue he has as a #8 is his control and passing, the two elements maresca desires that is seeing vestergaard playing ahead of the infinitely better souttar.

Perhaps. But I can only see him being cover for anyone in the team at the moment. He doesn't have the skills to play in midfield if there is no destroyer position. At least at the back he has the pace to protect us against the counter.

 

Ideally though I think Justin could do that better operating where Faes was today.

Seeing vestegaard getting a lot of abuse, and while I don’t think he was great I don’t think he was awful, he’s just an easy target. In transition when the coverntry players were running at full speed at him, he was a deer in headlights. But other than that I thought he was fine, made some good tackles, blocks and clearances. 
 

Thought Faes was really bad, he was constantly out of position and doesn’t suit that right side at all from what we’ve seen so far. Both really lack pace, and Doyle’s not quick either so we 100% need an alternative there, of which JJ could be the answer.

Liked that Enzo went full Klopp fist pumping mental when the winner went in. PASHUN

Not had that for a long time. 

 

 

Nice to have a manager and support team who look like they give a ****. 

 

 

I actually hate Rodgers more the less I see of him.

OK, I'll pin my thoughts up.

 

As a side I though they showed massive promise - day and night to the team that finished last season. No way would they have come back from a goal down under the last two (not counting the temps) managers. Also, I loved the "tippy tappy shit" [tm], because there is a more comprehensive plan, unlike under Rodgers. This isn't the season for knee-jerk demands for fast pressing long balls and attackattackattack the second a goal is conceded.

 

I'm going to rewatch it because I'm not getting the huge hate for Vestergaard or the negative comments about Ricky.

 

I don't believe its fair to knock Ndidi. The ask isn't him and we all saw that during pre-season - and so unless we need to revert to a formation that he is comfortable in I don't see him as a functional part of the squad.

 

Vardy is not frontline lead material anymore. Let him drink caffeinated beverages and come on for 5 minutes now and then. Let him out to play for cup matches.

 

Everyone else gets a pass for any shortcomings. Shit summer and new tactics, they all demonstrated a willingness to commit. Firmly believe KDH will grow into his new role with aplomb and only time will tell if Mavididi can consistently produce on the flank - but I enjoyed his stepovers immensely.

 

Ultimately, I enjoyed it and feel more positive than I've done in an absolute age.

 

Rudkin out.

Back from the pub, more than a few pints in so here it goes.

 

Most important thing today was to get off to a good start, so that's mission accomplished.

 

Vesty won't be 1st choice and still gives me hope that I can be a professional footballer.

 

System worked well but we didn't really test their keeper until the 46th minute.

 

Mavididi looked like (and probably is) a 1 trick pony but far too early to judge. Grew into the game as it went on. Certainly looks like a typical winger, when it's going well, will look like a world beater, when it isn't will look very poor. Impressed with his showing though, especially in the final 30 minutes or so. 

 

Winks looked a class above the rest.

 

We certainly looked more dangerous after the changes, Praet for Ndidi and Kel for Vardy and that, as it stands, probably should be our 1st 11 (obviously Coady for Vesty) 

 

We dominated without ever looking like we'd run away with the game, but the most important thing was to get 3 points. Going a goal behind and winning will probably have a better effect than winning comfortably or losing. 

 

Improvements to be made but a win is a win

Yep.


Neither can recover, and it was pretty alarming today. Add that to the fact that they both get caught out of position a lot and you have a problem. Very poor from Cov to only get one goal today if we’re being honest.
 

I think we need a CB who can run with this system. If we could offload Vestergaard I reckon we would go back into the market for one.

 

Faes should be OK at this level as he can pass and is combative but we could do with some pace alongside him.

Nailed it (For a change!!!).

I thought Ricky was class so cant believe hes  been getting sh1t.

Vesty- yeah I'm praying he can some how flourish under a new manager.

Agree with every else.

KDH and Winks will be massive influences I  our success.

@Trumpet@Trumpet must be so gutted we didn't lose this one

You quoted me when I said something along the lines of i’m glad I’ve decided to only watch this lot when they’re on sky and otherwise take back my weekends to enjoy them.

 

It’ll take more than a good 20 minutes against Coventry to change that, in fact, I won’t change my stance all season. Years of mismanagement on all levels and generally disdain from those in power towards us the fans. You sound like just the kind of fan they want “gEt BeHiNd ThE lAdS”.

Cov fans on the train home kept going on about how poor the atmopshere was from the leicester fans... coming from a club that have about 15k empty seats every home game.

Being louder than the home fans (90+9)

 

Great draw for them today !

They were hardly a bastion of noise. 

 

Had one song they sang every so often about shagging their dad's or something, went wooooo once and outside of the first 10 after they scored were absolutley silent.

Seemed a bit of a stupid comment really. Having spent 9yrs in the Prem, isn't it a given we'd have a fair few players of value around the place? 

It was cheap and I expected better from him.
