He actually started the 19/20 season really well to the point where they club awarded a relatively long term contract from memory. Within weeks of that he was bombed out barely to be seen again. Suspect his downward trajectory was purely confidence based as he had the ability.

Hate to be pedantic but we have, vs Norwich.

He was definitely ripped to shreds at times, certainly in the first half, but he was up against Saka so realistically he was always going to be in for a torrid evening. FWIW I thought Neco Williams didn't have much of better showing on the right hand side and he's a regular PL starter...

He was nowhere near the ball for England's first was he? For the second, probably every Wales player in that box could've done better.

You're not going to get 4 first class CBs at this level though, not unless you're a parachute club. Re. your last point Lati is a drop in the water in that scenario. We'd likely need to replace half the squad if we went up.

Possibly. But currently the stats suggest they're in a bit of a false position. Half of their goals have come from outside the box. Opposition teams will adapt to that so it'll be interesting to see how Cifuentes shifts tactics.

Lati isn't a bad defender to be honest, his main limitation is a lack of pace and probably height as well. As a CB that means he becomes very easily exposed at times, especially if he's up against forwards which are quick and have half decent movement. The Sheffield United draw last season was...

Cantwell seems to have started the season well. Will need to limit his time on the ball in particular.

Mavididi hasn't scored this season but yeah how many goals is it from outside the box this season for them? 6? Out of a total of 13. Close them down early and you're limiting them massively. On the whole it's not a particularly difficult threat to stamp out really either.

I think Leicester's stats are more interesting. Perhaps a case of over-performing? Will be interesting to see what happens with them, especially once the inevitable injuries hit.

Money well spent clearly.

Very little thought going into their managerial appointments. Can't see him faring any better than Martin to be honest if he's appointed. His career has regressed massively since his first stint.

He's an idiot quite frankly. He's debating something which isn't up for debate.

I mean I went to university in Nottingham and two of my friends are season ticket holders and have been for the past 25 years. So clearly more clued up than you my simple little friend.

Then they're not actual Forest fans. I've just posed this question to two Forest fans friends of mine btw which go home and away and they reiterated the same thing. Leicester is a complete irrelevancy for them and always has been.

Theirs is Real Sociedad.

Liverpool.

Thing is, not one Derby or Forest fan would genuinely consider Leicester as their biggest rival.

This will probably only be a part of it but I'd imagine the hoarding by PL clubs of academy players can't help. Traditionally the SPL was a league which gave young talented players a platform to build their careers and now I can barely think of any which are coming through that are very highly...

I think it was a fairly decent fee by our standards for that time as well. Robins brought him in thinking he could turn him into an old school CF somehow not realising that despite his 6"4 frame he had the physical threat of a timid cat.
