That's a big shame, but he probably deserves a rest anyway. Good to hear McAteer's back. Quicker than expected, I think? Yeah, but we have a lot more depth this season and as big a miss as Ndidi will be, I trust that he'll only be brought back into the fold when fully fit and not risked unnecessarily so. I think McAteer is back quicker than expected, which is good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxesWalk Posted 27 October 2023 Share Posted 27 October 2023 (edited) Is Yunus fit? Could be a game to rest KDH and Winks so they aren’t suspended for Leeds, both are 1 yellow away. Edited 27 October 2023 by FoxesWalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post moore_94 Posted 27 October 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 27 October 2023 Enzo Maresca Pre-Match Press Conference vs QPR Memorial service? “For sure it has been an emotional morning. Nice to remember all of them. The legacy they show and continue after the tragedy it’s very important. In football, it’s not easy to find it. We have to be proud of that. It’s something unbelievable.” Injuries? “Wilf, it looks a bit more than tightness. Probably he has to stay out. It’s not an important problem, but it is a muscle problem. It will be some days, some weeks.” McAteer and Cannon? “We will see them with us today for the first time. I don’t think Kasey can be involved for tomorrow. We’ll see. Tom needs more days.” Alves and Braybrooke? “Will had some sessions with us and he looks good. Sam is not ready yet. Will needs to keep calm and hopefully soon he can play with us.” Winning run? “We continue to push because we are winning games. Probably tomorrow we are going to lose. We need to improve. The only way to improve the team is to improve players. We need to be focused on that. It’s more for the fans. We need to be focused and continue to improve because you cannot drop a little bit. The opponents are waiting for us.” Special conversations to keep them grounded? “Special conversations? I just try to be straight, clear, honest with them. At the same time, it’s the same thing I tell you. They are doing something incredible. But we are still in October. We are in the right way but we are in October. When we achieve something, these records will be more important.” Justin? “JJ got some minutes before Callum’s injury. Southampton away he played from the start. After Callum’s injury, he had more chances. The first time I came to the training ground in June. Everyone was on holiday but JJ was running around the pitch. Who’s this guy? If a guy is here is because he is special.” QPR? “It’s a tricky game. It’s the perfect game for them. It’s a big game. It will be a tough game. Just to feel like a QPR player. If you feel like five defeats and the top team is coming to you, with one win, you can put the five defeats behind you. We need to see how we are in terms of tiredness. We played a very tough game.” Winks and Dewsbury-Hall one yellow away from suspension? “For sure, any decision we take is not because of yellow cards, because QPR is three points and Leeds is three points. Any players we rest is because of tiredness.” Surprised by results? “For sure in terms of results, nobody expected the amount of results we have. We trust the players to play in that way and that the direction was the right one. Where we are now, in one month or two months, hopefully we can be ahead of that. The Sunderland game was tough and we needed to find different weapons. The more games we play, the more solutions we find. Our job is to be dynamic.” Man City teach you how to manage winning runs? “Being there last year, you realise winning games is difficult. Just because we are Leicester in Championship, people think wins are easy, but it’s not like that. When we beat Stoke at home, everyone was thinking it was easy, and then Stoke beat Sunderland and Leeds. It’s not easy. That’s why we can’t drop. They are going to wait for us and beat us. If we keep up the standards from training, we will win more games than we will lose.” Chairman's legacy? “This morning, the ceremony, with people talking and watching videos, you realise how important he is to this club and how important it is to get back to where we should be.” 9 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tielemans63 Posted 27 October 2023 Share Posted 27 October 2023 With Wilf out, that means one or both of Winks and KDH pretty much have to start v QPR, so there's a good chance one or both will miss the Leeds game (if they get booked). Not ideal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted 27 October 2023 Share Posted 27 October 2023 The QPR fans hate Ainsworth more than Leicester fans hated Rodgers towards the end. He has truly ruined his legacy at that club, and is totally oblivious to the fact that he probably needs to resign. It would arguably be the most 'ever obliging leicester city' moment if we lose tomorrow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not ideal If Yunus is fit, we can maybe bench KDH, and it would have to probably be Hamza or Ricardo starting in the Winks role for him to rest (maybe with the other inverting, maybe even JJ inverting). It does feel like we need another #8, but I’m hoping that will be Alves shortly. Similarly, when fit Braybrooke can step in for Winks with a bit of luck.

Not ideal Winks has been on 4 bookings for a while, he is quite disciplined and I would expect us to have most of the ball so it could be a tough game to get booked.

A good Premier League campaign behind him could easily see him back in the thinking for the national team. I imagine it's too late for the Euros with them being next summer and we're in the Championship. But he must be having little thoughts about the World Cup, especially with a dearth of quality centre-backs, injury-prone left-backs, and Trippier and Walker potentially coming towards the tail end of their careers.

LVFox Posted 27 October 2023 Share Posted 27 October 2023 Didn't realise Winks and KDH are only a booking away. Get them no-where near this game. Really looking light in midfield for this game if that's the case though. Hamza, Yunus and Casadei? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StriderHiryu Posted 27 October 2023 Share Posted 27 October 2023 2 hours ago, AjcW said: Quite enjoy this, even if it's lost in translation He said after the Sunderland game that "we will lose more than we win." Maresca seems like a humble guy. He probably can't believe how well the team has been doing. Even Man City drop points, like they recently did to Wolves and Arsenal. Yes it's true they also had seasons where they won 17 games in a row, but during his time there, though they were great, even they slipped up on occasion. So he's preparing himself for it, and he does have a point in that often times the slip up is at an unexpected place. Football is a low-scoring, high variability game, which makes these things inevitable. I've predicted a 4-0 win to us, so I really hope he is wrong!
