He's needed regular starts for a while, but he makes mistakes and we aren't a club that can just play him week in week out in spite of them. He's still only 22, but needs to go somewhere where those mistakes don't matter as much.

Foyth is such an interesting case. We can see his talents. His touch and passing are great, he moves forwards with the ball well and isn’t slow. He is rash, as his red card and 2 pens v wolves show, but he is versatile and has a huge upside (if the mistakes can be coached out of him). He was definitely unlucky with injury at the start of the season (god how long ago does that feel?), as he would have likely gone in as starting rb. I wish he’d been tried in the cdm role, dropping in between the cbs. On paper, he’s got every tool required to be successful there.
One thing I’m sure we can all agree on is how his development has been stunted by a lack of game time. Poch had a real weakness with this. Hopefully his loan to Leeds - who are likely to be promoted - will give us the chance to see him progress.
He might be our most tradeable asset at the moment, but I think selling him would be a mistake.

Wtf do we do at this club behind the scenes?

So many injuries, for years. Moving to the new training ground seems to have made it worse, not better!

Awfully thin at centre back now - what with Dier and his most probably incoming ban.

Shit never changes.

Seriously, with our medical team literally half of our squad will pick up injuries over the next couple of weeks i'm sure of it. A lot of players in the matches last night were struggling with muscle injuries. We are absolutely screwed.

I hope we are giving serious thought to fresh ideas in the medical department now it's clear this is not a Pochettino or Jose Mourinho problem.

What's the Leicester Medical Team from 15/16 doing?

A defeat to Utd and a win for Chelsea = bye bye any hope of Champions League. On the plus side we can blood Eyoma and M-Walcott. Also subject to fitness give the likes of Cirkin and Skipp some game time.
