Brumstopdogs Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Really pleasing to see him playing with confidence and goes to show he just needed some time to fit into Emery's way of playing. He gives us great competiition for places now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc1982am Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 This last month it's really clicked for him here. He's been excellent and long may it continue. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, totally agree. He's becoming an important player for us and is very good at linking play and getting the ball to the likes of Bailey. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their strip is absolutely dreadful But on a slightly more serious note - he is going to take some shifting now. I really like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - another shirt grab not carded (similar to the Bournemouth player vs Konza), Havertz was very lucky to not get at least a yellow card. Tielemans seems to be enjoying his football at the moment which is great to see after a tough-ish start for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwivillan Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 One of my favourite things about Mcginn goal was Youri fist pump from behind the goal angle when the goal went in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Needs a well-earned rest I think in the midweek European game away... He played great against City and looked a little tired against Arsenal; need him fresh for the next PL game with Luiz missing out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Two or three of my Leicester-supporting friends were telling me his legs had gone. Newsflash, his legs haven't gone. Great player. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His heart had left Leicester and let's be honest, he wasn't fit enough at the start of the season to play the way Emery needed him too. Dean Smith though, maybe. He's an unbelievable footballer. In the 10 role he reminds me of Paul Merson, probably the highest praise I can give. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Youri perhaps has more mile on his body at age 26 than any player in history. He's played 469 games at 26 years old. He's averaging 43 games a season over 11 seasons.

Tom13 Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 You can't underestimate his pass to Bailey in the build up to the goal. No messing, one touch, then bang, perfectly weighted for him to run onto. Quality! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

European and cup football. Oh plus that doesn't include his 60 or so caps for belgium. If you look at his time with Leicester - He didn't play in just 14 league games in his 4 full seasons, but he also played 12 FA Cup Games, 11 EFL Cup Games, 12 Europa League and 8 Conference League Games. So in 4 seasons where the max number of league games is 152, he played 182 Games. Plus probably 45 games for belgium in that period too. And he's been doing that every year since he's 16. Hell he's played 24 games for us this year too. Luckily a lot of them are off the bench but even a team with ostensibly good depth in his positions he's still played so many games. Even including subs he's still had 400 starts. Overall he's played 397 90 Minutes games which is basically him playing 90 minutes, 38 times over 10 and a half seasons.
