Just my two penneth on the Ings rumour, him wanting out of Scum, other than maybe Leicester as it is now, Vardy out for a number of weeks, I believe he will have to have the attitude, "I am prepared to fight for my place" at any of the Prem Top 6, where as he is guaranteed his spot at Scum, I suppose we will have to wait and see.

Yes, "one EL match" which you then correctly explain as half an EL match. That game from memory was a dead rubber as we were already through to the next stage. Those 2 were not the only culprits on that day and once again Jose didn't give them 10 mins after half-time to correct it. I never agree with that from managers.
Personally, I still think we've yet to find out at the top of their game whether the Ndombele, Gio partnership with Hojbjerg is too lightweight. We already know that for a six footer, Sonny is too lightweight whereas someone like Bergwijn gives a physical presence with football intelligence defensively. There are 6 players ahead of the back four and that entire group needs to function physically and technically.
First of all, we need to find out whether Gio can get himself fit. His injury record is a concern.

Muttley’s desire to see Kane, Son, Bergwijn, Lo Celso and Ndombele in the same team works in a 4-2-3-1.
Son
Bergwijn Kane Lo Celso
Hojbjerg Ndombele
Son playing as the main striker, Kane as the No 10, Lo Celso cutting in from the right with an overlapping right back. Bergwijn in his favored left wing position cutting in on his right with Reguilon overlapping. Ndombele pulling the strings and Hojbjerg sitting.

Whilst this was a concerning game for those of us who hope to see a future midfield of Hojbjerg, NDombele and Lo Celso, this issue for me was that they were played the wrong way round. NDombele was played further up the pitch where the game just passed him by too much. I want to see a fit and motivated NDombele along side Hojbjerg with Lo celso given the freedom to be further forward and link the play to the forwards.
Jose said the other day that if transfers were difficult due to restrictions then clubs will have to use their academies.....or words to that effect.
He also said our problem is that our best players are under 18 !!
That's a bit of a kick in the bollox for Cirkin, Marsh, Roles, Parrot, Clarke etc.
Devine and Scarlett I know are promising from the under 18s.

Loco has a media/ web rating of 6.61 so far this season. Forum posters is more realistic at 6.19 I think. 9 th in the table. He has not played as much as others though.
He is an adventurous player like Lamela and will make mistakes as a result when trying to thread balls through. He is pretty tenacious when he loses the ball , quite often resulting in free kick given away or a yellow.
My biggest concern is injuries for him.
He is more of a leftie than Lamela and that's saying something !!
If he can stay free of injury I would expect him to be an asset.

So we have a flawed production line.
They are talented when they arrive and coached by one set of nurturing supervisors, they then enter the phase II development conveyor belt under different supervisors (18-23 yr group) and talent is knocked out of them, then they are thrown on the PL conveyor belt where they get limited or no opps!. They either turn out of to be a collection of Winks or sold/loaned!
Does Jose even sit down with all the coaching staff to review our set up?!
