Claudio Fannieri Posted 27 January Share Posted 27 January He is our Bernardo Silva, he is superb in tight spaces and he is capable and always looking to be progressive. So chuffed to see him get his goal, what a beauty and I think he will really kick on, yes he is slight but he is a very clever player, he will really kick on over next 5/6 months and next season will be a real player for us 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silva. I think he excelled in the responsibility of being the creative Midfielder today. Which augurs well for the future.

Popular Post frany104 Posted 27 January Popular Post Share Posted 27 January Thought he was really good today. Looked the only midfielder first half to try and get on the ball and wasn’t helped by some of the players around him. Second half really stood out when we made a few subs which created space for him. I like him, he’s got some good attributes but the main one for me is his desire. He didn’t stop running. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxesfan98 Posted 27 January Share Posted 27 January Thought he put in a real good shift today and went hunting to win the ball back when we lost it. In the first half, he kept having to come central to receive the ball from the keeper as he was the only one with the technique to advance it for us. Once Ricardo came on to do this it looked like Yunus had more freedom and got it in more advanced areas. I wouldn't mind seeing him start on Tuesday and rotate with KDH between the two 8 positions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STUHILL Posted 28 January Share Posted 28 January This guy is a player! He just needs more game time, in a balanced team. Unfortunately, I think it will much the same in the league and he will struggle for game time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People would be a lot more excited about him if this was a league game…. which is funny as we played a championship side who went full strength 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandy king Posted 28 January Share Posted 28 January The rub of the green is that he's small and lightweight, but he can do good stuff if give the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Oxlong Posted 28 January Share Posted 28 January Shit first half - great second half Looked like he needed something to give him some confidence and he delivered Still haven’t seen enough to take a view as to whether he might be an asset at PL level 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alarming if so as, with our financial challenges, I think that might mean he only has 6 more games he can play for us! 🤷 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hejammy Posted 28 January Share Posted 28 January I feel for him because at the moment he is not going to replace KDH or Winks, his only chance was when Ndidi got injured, but Enzo seems to prefer Hamza. Let's see if he starts on Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALC Fox Posted 28 January Share Posted 28 January A really good second half from him yesterday, I think. He was really able to show his ball carrying and ball retention skills, finding good pockets of space in front of their backline. I still think he can be our version of Bernardo Silva and hope he gets the chance to 'catch fire' now. Cracking finish from him as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Away Move Posted 28 January Share Posted 28 January I really liked how physical and aggressive he was trying to win the ball back. He might be small but he’s a terrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blanchflower78 Posted 28 January Share Posted 28 January Why spend £10m on him when you can lump that money towards a far better option instead? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the fee is £7 million, not 10 and for £7 million, I feel he's worth a go. I actually think the Premier League will be better suited to his skill set as he is a good technical player, If he can cope with the pace of the Premier League I think he could be a real asset. He will only get better with game time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ithuriel Posted 28 January Share Posted 28 January I think the reason he has not stood out thus far is the style we play, he looks the kind of player who dribbles and tricks his way through defences but we are more of a pass, pass, pass type of team with the wingers having the pace to take the ball up the pitch. It is why Mav and Fat are our main wingers. Same way Albrighton is different where he will put pinpoint passes into the box from the wings.

Seems a strange time & Period in the season,but it’s a bit too early.. Hes hardly played any 80 minute game…He had a couple of injury knocks Not yet played 5 games on the trott. On those notes he’s done well and been a decent influence in games. At this moment,if it was my descision..EOS,take him off loan, and buy him.

Collymore Posted 28 January Share Posted 28 January (edited) I thought he was a liability first half coming deep and trying to hold up the ball after receiving it from the defence (Kelchi the best in the squad at this IMO) Birmingham knew this and you could see their game plan was to get close to him and time after time they dispossessed him creating very good chances for themselves. However, second half he moved further up the pitch and we were treated to a master class of working in tight spaces. I don't think I've seen someone whip the ball out to the wing from that forward position like he did for us, maybe Madders from time to time. Usually players are driving forwards from much further back and play forward diagonal passes to the wingers but Yunus managed to suck everyone into a more forward position and then played a more 90 degree pass out wide which left their shape all over the place. He did this a few times so it was intended. Nightmare for the defence as if they keep watch on the wingers he is allowed to weave more magic in the centre but it they all come in and protect the centre he has the ability to take 3 or 4 players out of the game with unbelievable quick feet and pass accuracy. Second half yesterday shows we have potentially a very dangerous player on our hands offering us something completely different.

Reg Vardy Posted 28 January Share Posted 28 January Once more the Foxes stalk critique, completely disses a player, signed by the same man who has us at the top of the division….let Enzo be the judge…..looks a player to me, but then that Lookman was crap…….
