  1. I am no great fan of either brenda nor Pep but I do like the way both City and Leicester play the game at the moment.

    There's been more entertainment in the first 5 minutes of this game than there was in the whole Southampton Vs Villa snore-fest.

    Love watching two good teams where I don't care who wins.

  2. Surely the principle Occam's Razor provides the answer here?

    Even if Tav were to excel at LB, we would still need to secure an excellent RB to replace him. We have OK backups at RB, nothing more. So two positions in doubt instead of one.

    Just bite the bullet and find a good LB. We don't even need a great one to improve the team. Even a competent one would do it.

  3. Those thinking McCrorie at RB is weird may not remember, or maybe too young to remember, that Gerrard played a considerable number of games there himself early in his career.

    It was also for the same reasons: too good not to be in the team but too inconsistent to be a first pick as CM. His athleticism, tackling and passing/crossing made him very effective.

    Don't think it will hurt RM's game.

    Seem to have this vision in my head that pretty much everyone we played at LM in Walter's second stint was played out of position. Felt most sorry for Fleck out there.

  4. I have to admit that I am not familiar with King as a player at all. Is he similar to anyone we have on the books just now? 

    He seems to have passed me by a bit. I was probably a bit focused on Vardy, Mahrez and Kante in the title winning team. 

  5. The OP is correct about the improved physicality in the squad.

    Two points worry me though, which are the domestic referees and their inconsistencies and McGregor's occasional tantrum. He needs to screw the nut a bit and realise that we've become such a good footballing side that keeping the heat down a bit works in our favour. 

    Exception being the beasts where I want to see him go full Chris Woods and lift the thumb off the ground by his skinny wee chicken neck.

    I actually think we look more balanced going forward. As you say Goldson and the midfield have to cover over for Tav but they seem to be getting it done so fingers crossed so far. 

    And it's certainly not reducing our threat. We have looked extremely dangerous any time we have had to put the foot down in any game or tie.

    Beginning to think he's better than Jelavic, and I was a massive fan of his.

    Morelos is stronger, a little faster and just as good at finishing. 

    His link up play and discipline has improved greatly. 

    Jelavic could take a free kick though 

    Similar arrogance and attitude about them.
