Most unlike me Dunge but I would give MOM to Albrighton. He was given acres of space by Watford but used it intelligently and handled the captain's responsibility well. Fully deserved his goal as well.

With only 8 of our 25 man first team squad available it was a very good performance by any measure.

Mostly agree Dunge but no way did Daley-Campbell deserve to get sent off for what was an obvious slip. Mike Dean brandishing a second yellow would not have been a shock however. DC was undoubtably teetering on the brink of getting sent off though and was sensibly withdrawn.
FFS - Dunge is right, Hamza's performance was stand out - MoM for me too. Is that his best match to date?
I continue to be astonished at how well our scratch back lines continue to perform, although I suspect better teams may well test the current setup considerably more than Watford did yesterday.

Thanks Dunge - this article is more appreciated when I’m not at the game.

Sounds like Choudhury is the main story from yesterday. Do we think he could be converted to be a decent centre half or was that a one off decent showing and you’ve rated him MOTM because he did better than expected? Or did he actually look like he could play there?

Heard a lot of noise about Alves. Does he look the real deal? You’ve made it sound like he tried a bit too hard?

Alves had some nice touches but was like a kid in the playground who didn't want to give the ball to anyone else. TBF he just had a few minutes to showcase his skills and didn't want to waste the opportunity.

Thanks FFS. Sounds like he’s got some maturing to do, which is pretty understandable seeing as he’s 16 😂

Yeah, it’s too early for Alves yet. He’s clearly got flair but has a lot of honing and developing to do. Which isn’t meant as a criticism - he’s 16 and played like a confident, excited and talented 16-year-old.

With Hamza, he did well but didn’t for me resemble a “proper” centre back. It’s not like Amartey who shows not only that he can play there but should always have played there. Hamza was aggressive, committed and last-ditch, going to ground often, although there were moments that he read the danger very well.

He did well yesterday, but I don’t see this as a long-term position change without some significant changes to his game. He looked more like a Championship player having a belter.

That’s what I’d expect Dunge. Choudhury doesn’t have the concentration or footballing brain

…. needed to be a centreback.

Lols

Vardy

Soyuncu

Lookman

Daniel

And now Choudhury, all written off by Leicester fans before being given a chance while Tilly walks on Water in his Emperors clothes

TB, you need to stop being so hard on Tilly and his perceived faults. Otherwise his potential suitors may be put off. Just think how much less we'd have got for Drinky, Maguire, Chillwell if you'd been so clear about their issues! 😂

He’s going no where, he might think and act like he is but no one in that upper frame of European Football is that daft to Pay over the odds for him.

Choudhury or Tielemans. I guess you’re right TB, I feel a bit silly that I’ve not been banging the drum for Tielemans to be dropped for him.

Get Maddison out too. Perez in. Amartey ahead of Evans and Little Wes for sure.

I’m obviously being facetious. But the reality is that Choudhury has had many chances now and has failed to take them all. I’m not writing him off, just pointing out what I see as the reason he hasn’t succeeded. He’s definitely got something (his ability to tackle in the modern game) but we’ve certainly never found a way to get the lost from it.

As for the comparison to Tielemans, that doesn’t help your argument, but you know that.

Well yes, if he's availab le Daniel is the first defender on the team sheet for me.

As for Choudhury, how many consecutive games has he played to get his 'chance'

He was extremely good against Watford, he stepped up like so may other players have done through Rodgers disastrous injury induced period.

Choudhury gets MOTM but is a Championship player, Tilly was Meh yet again and gets the same score as him as well as Lookman plus Maddsion who all had excellent games yet again

I honestly can’t comment on the Watford game TB as I’ve only seen the goals/highlights.

But all the other times I’ve seen Choudhury, Ive felt he is yet to show he can step up. It may be that he hasn’t found his perfect position or set up around him at Leicester. Players like Ndidi can look poor if asked to do things they aren’t suited to. Drinkwater fitted perfectly in to our team but has clearly struggled everywhere. Is he rubbish, or only good when the set up is right.

It’s a bit like Gray. He’s not a poor player but he never cut it in our team in the roles he was asked. Choudhury looks like it may end like that, although I’m happy if he suddenly steps up of course!
