Talk to me about Alves, where did he play?

It's alright interviewing and insisting he wants to play possession football but we should have been interviewing insisting a manager keeps some continuity with the system. Like or loathe Enzo, he struck gold with the shape. Got the best out of everyone. 

I’m worried that Ricky P will break down in the Prem if he’s going to be asked to play wide and be dynamic down that right hand side as the attacking outlet. At 30 years old with a historical ACL injury in arguably the most physically demanding league in professional football, it’s not ideal. He suited the inverted fullback role so well, could he not play as a midfielder next to Winks now, if Cooper doesn’t want to play an inverted fullback?

How are Thomas and Ward still getting game time. Need shipping out - literally take nothing for them

only way we even remotely sell Mads is if we get a bid over £40mil, and Chelsea wont pay that at all

I don't think we can afford to sell him for 40 mil. We will need a very good keeper to keep us up this season and they are hard to find.

Ranieri succeeding Pearson is a prime example of us as fans knowing you don't need to change everything if the previous coach leaves on a (sporting) high. You build on the foundations. You don't start again.

Prime example when we went from a 3 at the back to a 4?

What position is he playing?

Surprised Booth hasn’t been used today. What are your thoughts on him?

He played largely as a right winger but was cutting in in a free role. I actually thought he favoured his left foot when I watched him in pre-season last year but tonight and in clips at Vollendam he seems to be very fluid on either foot. 

 

I really hope we don't let him leave for a pittance as there's a player there I'm convinced.

I've missed something here, why is Stolarczyk out for 6 months? What's he done?

 

Ignore me - just seen the injury thread.

 

Shame, I really rate Jakub

Had ankle surgery - probably his achilles to be out for that long

Don't worry mun we'll sack him in October about when Chelsea sack Enzo and we'll be well primed to just get back to normal.

explain the comedy? you think these players are slow?

No but certainly not the fastest in the league.

I’d forgotten the sheer mesmeric beauty of Danny palming thin air round the post for a corner

Cutting edge reporting by the BBC. I’ve just received a notification that we beat Shrewsbury 2-1.

[sbfox]

My only concern, with the huge caveat that we've only seen one proper friendly, is that I don't know what Cooper is trying to do from a system/tactics perspective. We're hearing 'pragmatic' and 'direct' a lot, but that can't be it. I know we'll learn more over the next month, but I feel like we knew what Enzo was about from day 1.

Money saved not giving King Power my cash: £10

 

I'd do this as a running thread throughout the season that would be of no interest to anyone - but I've already lost interest myself.

Any chance you’re making a joke @Kegworthfox? I fear you’re not. 
 

(This was why I was interested in the Barwell game - although I had hoped he was helping coach the side).

No mate no joke

Spend £14 million on a dynamite right winger. New manager makes him play as a LM/LWB, Leicester logic. 

It's pre season. It's just about fitting people in the team to get fitness. 

[Bptiger]

Can’t believe all the manager wants is more  wingers , we need a class centre forward , vardy can’t play every game and daka is crap . Also we have no class midfielder, and we really need 2 for this hard season ahead .

Ahh youll be interested in "King Power Kash Kount" the latest offering from King Power.

For just $65 a month, KP will keep record of your weekly spend vs savings with the club... for just another $20, they will email you a spreadsheet...or for the premium service  ($100) they will post a hard copy quarterly.

Good turn out from the faithful tonight. Well done to everybody who made the trip.
