SEVILLA 2 vs NDIDI 1

[DAgrin]

Leicester is a good example of how important confidence is for a team.
They served on a wave of euphoria last season and now there is nothing left.
Kante's absence cannot explain all that.
When it comes to player material they are even improved but almost every player has lost form and confidence.
Shows how important the psychological aspect of the game is - one of the key reasons why Klopp is such a successful coach.
Our current coach (Tuchel) on a tactical level is a better coach but he does not inspire the same confidence.
The weak link about coaches like Klopp is that this psychological effect is spent after a while.
If you are unable to give new tactical input (what means you are too one-dimensional as a coach) the ship is going to sink.
That's what happened with Kloppo in Dortmund. I have to praise him nevertheless - because he was clever enough to recognize it.

Excellent analysis.
There really is no other explanation.

There must be something I'm not seeing. Maybe I'm just blind, but I do not see this "Ndidi is far better than Esiti" that fellow CEs seem to see. I don't see it at all.
Anyway....

Why do you always have to put down one player, because of your 'own'. Are you an agent or something?

[green4life]

half way there.

True. They just need to beat Sevilla by 1 goal.

If they keep a clean sheet I will deport myself to Mexico.

Crazier things have happened ... like Leicester winning the league

He's a good player but lacking confidence and a bit of tactical awareness (which comes with playing time) but he definitely has sufficient tools to have a good career at this level. With increased effort on the training ground (specifically after formal team training) he can transform into the player we hope to see.

That said, last night, Ndidi, like all his teammates apart from Schmicheal, had a poor first half but grew into the game in the second half and finished very strong. It should improve his confidence and performances going forward. Nevertheless, good gutsy result for Leicester City against seasoned winners in Europe away from home should do them a world of good and give them a fighting chance to advance at home.

That's why it's good to have great assistants to complement you. Westerhof had that in Jo Bonfrere. Westerhoff was the great motivator and psychological genius while Jo was the tactical brains. Same with Alex Ferguson who usually had great assistants like Queiroz, McLaren, Knox etc that were technically and tactically astute but not necessarily top managerial material.

Watched the game this morning again, i must say Leicester picked up and improved. Hopefully they can pick up from here and improve towards the tail end of the season( glad to see 2 SE players) .

However, the funniest incident of the night goes to Wes Morgan, he was in the opposition's corner and made a dribble , but the defender didn't move, so MR Morgan decided to pull a line backer move on the defender, and checked him with his hands, landing on the defender's Chest..my goodness, the reactions by the crowd was priceless ( the ref didn't blow) but that was just too funny. I repeat Wes Morgan is nothing but a jambody footballer, no ball sense at all

Not a bad result for Leicester,they can easily win 1-0 at home,try to keep clean sheet and used home fans to be player number 12 make ref uncomfortable

it's more than just psychology. By FEb of last season, Leicester was a machine. The total was more than the parts. The starting 11 named itself. Each player had a specific role and knew his roles, knew his partners. They had no midweek games. They rest on Monday, come back Tuesday work on the game plan for the weekend all the way through Friday, play over the weekend. Fatigue was not a factor. Cobbling together different starting line-ups was not an issue.

Nasri gave Ndidi props for helping Leicester save some face in the 2nd half.

Leicester City put up a good fight in the second half, they denied us space to play the way we love to. In the middle Ndidi was particularly quick in covering up spaces and that improved their second half performance”, Nasri said after the game.

” We are disappointed to have conceded a goal but we are confident of our chances of progressing after the second leg”.

Not bad for the boy.

I only saw the second half and he was doing his thing. Just that I can't find these quotes from any other source...I mean did Nasri call owngoal up and speak to them directly??? Else where did they pull these quotes? They don't even cite a source...
