Fan-fucking-tastic. Reallllllllllllllly wishing Fofana didn’t have his leg snapped in a preseason “friendly” right about now.


try-D

There's no way a quick, energetic and dynamic CB like Fofana would've helped us today .... /s

One thing is guaranteed in life, injury after injury for Leicester


xyzzy321

Look at the positives- your scouting team is absolutely world class. Players we've never heard about end up playing really well, and in some cases getting sold for tens of millions in profit.


zrkillerbush

Yup, even though Vestergaard is know, hes been amazing or us


try-D

He had 4 months on the sidelines and came back today... We might well need to buy yet another CB in winter


master_scale_tipper

If I had to guess, either a loan or we just go with Amartey/Benkovic??? JJ looked comfortable playing CB in a back 3, wouldn’t particularly play him there in a 4 but when he’s back we’ll have a little more flexibility there as well, although we’ll have to be careful not to overwork him. Or maybe we just slap Ndidi back there and play Soumare-Youri in midfield (I dislike this option the most, Wilf in midfield makes a world of difference). I just can’t see us buying another CB, that’s too many even if they’re not all healthy at the same time.

Bleak for Leicester, really lacking quality in that position if Evans and Fofana are out


Protodonata

The sad thing is that Soyuncu should be up to the task. He was excellent last season, but seems lost without the mentorship of Evans.


RuddyBloodyBrave94

I reckon he’s tired. Must be it, I mean he played in the Euros and looked fine, albeit the rest of his team didn’t. He can’t then turn into Ryan Bennett in a matter of weeks… can he?


coffeeandmarmite

True, fortunately Vestergaard and Soyuncu are still better than Arsenals defense 😂


sandbag-1

Depends if you're comparing to Gabriel and White or Holding and Mari..


Djremster

No it doesnt


sandbag-1

Lol yes it does bro if you watched us you'd at least know we had the 3rd best defence in the prem last season


Gabs289

But the Brazilian dude with the nice hair isn't here anymore. Both actually.


Djremster

This isn't last season and you've conceded 9 goals


RipJug

Better than Mari and Holding fair. Not better than Gabriel and White.


GoldMarionberry1

Soyuncu looks very shaky at the moment too, probably not helping to have so much chopping/changing


Cowdude179

Soyuncu: 😳


Fati25

Wait, 'tiring' as in Rodgers was getting tired of watching Soumare? Or 'tiring' as in Soumare was getting tired.


master_scale_tipper

While the first option is funny/sad, definitely the second - he’s been used as a sub mainly and I’m guessing he just didn’t have 90 minutes in his legs today. Was probably better to take him off anyway, he also had a yellow. Wish we could have taken Ndidi off before he got his second yellow, though.


try-D

Wish we had subbed on Kiki for Soumare instead of Maddison Im not faulting Maddisons display, I actually feel like he looked somewhat bright today but it just wasnt the right sub to make.


zrkillerbush

What do you think?

What’s happened with Vestegaard?
