Astleyfox got a reaction from NikkiCFC in Enzo Maresca Thread
Im sorry lads, but I see him gone by Christmas. He is so rigid in his approach, that his “system” is easily negated by half decent opposition. We were so far ahead after the first third of last season, without even looking the part. As soon as everyone sussed the silly disappearing fullback rubbish, they just exploited the space behind him. Enzo clung desperately to his ways, and nearly blew a 17 point gap to the play offs. Luckily, Leeds melted as usual and we scraped through. Bear in mind, we were playing in the second division with a squad I could have got promoted. Ive heard the same sound-bytes we got. “Trust the process”, being a favourite. It is an open secret that player power forced a change in approach for the run in, to get us over the line.
The worse thing for me, was the crushing boredom and frustration of watching it, same stupid mistakes, game in, game out. I actually stopped watching for the first time in fifty years, and Ive watched some shilo! I couldnt believe you actually took him!

Astleyfox got a reaction from killer1257 in 🏴 Ben Chilwell
Hi lads
As a Leicester fan, I wish Chillwell all the best. Having said that, I am surprised that he is so highly rated. Defensively, he is suspect, end of! He is a full back, so firstly, he should be able to defend. The myth that he is good going forward, is just that, a myth! He gallops the middle third of the pitch, in a straight line, then puts his foot on the ball And passes it sideways or backwards. The option is usually a floated cross to nowhere. Opinion is divided,but there is little outpouring of angst at his impending departure. I dont really follow European football, so I know little about his rumoured replacements, but at 20 million leds, I suspect that this could be a good deal for us.
