It required six different teams to all **** it up in the same season for Leicester to win the league. And that is what happened. Hasn't happened since, probably won't happen again.

Skruff Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 He would need time to adapt to premier league . He's guilty of concentration lapses which would be punished far more severe in the PL. Expect to see him there in a year or two though, hopefully with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in your head you've just added 2+2 and got 5. Just because Rodgers wanted McGinn to play for Celtic doesn't mean his requirements are exactly the same for Leicester. Different clubs, different leagues, different motives. Anyway, Leicester will have to pay way over the odds for him. I'm talking 15m or more.

Chicken Field Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 It'll be interesting to see if he gets straight back into the team, on current form I doubt if he deserves it tbh, we havent missed him. I like him a lot, but he needs to improve and really hasnt done much the past few weeks/months (though this can be said about most of the team). I just dont think he fits into a possession based team, even though his pressing at times can be priceless. He hasn't got great passing and never seems to be available to receive a pass either. But, if Elphick is injured I've got a feeling he might just start at left back, rumours were that he has been playing left back in training.

Avcol Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Real selection dilemma in midfield next week after today's performance. I don't think Smith will put him straight back in. Also I really don't think he will leave in the summer. He's great for us but still a lot of improvements to be made in his game and I don't think he'd get a move to a Premier League team as a nailed on starter just yet.

Delphinho123 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 He has all the attributes to play as a left back you’d think. Id be tempted to play him there against Blues and move Hause inside. I suppose it’s something they’ll need to work on in training all week should they decide to do it. As much as I think Hourihane relies on Grealish, he is a different player when he’s in the team and it would be harsh to drop him after todays performance. Interested to know what others think. I just don’t want Taylor anywhere near our team anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Wouldn’t bring him back into the XI which is harsh on McGinn, but the team was just too good today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Straight back in for me. Three in midfield with Jack and El Ghazi both floating role off Tammy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be an option, just don’t want Grealish to be ineffective out wide. I think you lose a bit when he doesn’t play centrally. Mcginn has to play though in some capacity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, you have to have jack central. Get him on the ball as often as possible. He would be wasted out wide and also expose our full back behind him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
