Leicester had their chances and with James Maddison absent and not in the squad, Bouba Soumare showed his best in the three men midfield alongside Wilfred Ndidi and Youri Tielemans, and a number of nice passes to Jamie Vardy could have seen Leicester go in front early on, but it was not to happen, with the touches not yet totally in there. The game was an equal affair looking at possession, but QPR slightly sharper and in the 45th minute, Charlie Austin made his strike and scored, Shop — Leicester.
Leicester made a grand number of changes just minutes after, bringing on Amartey, Thomas, Benkovic, Nelson, Daka, Dewsbury-Hall, Choudhury, Iheanacho and Sowah coming on, and it paid of with a strike from Dewsbury Hall after 77 minutes.
Leicester have more depth in their squad and could bring on a number of quality players as QPR also made their changes getting weaker as they might need to keep a first eleven as tight as they can and with that in mind, gaps were opened and Patson Daka first got his goal after being played through by Marc Albrighton.
We all thought it was Leicester who would come out on top and score a late winner, but instead QPR made a counter attack and scored from close range. QPR also had a shot earlier on in the metal so they were close to four and they would have finished the game as winners. He was promptly ordered to remove it by the umpire on the grounds that it made him look effeminate that at least was the gist of what the umpire said — his exact terminology was a little more robust.
My friend lasted for 17 deliveries and came back with so many bruises his front leg looked like the world's biggest plum. Back then you weren't allowed a batting helmet either, of course. It was just pads, a box and gloves. The clear implication being that when it came to the male body it was necessary to protect the lower legs, the groin and the hands, but nothing else.
As far as life is concerned, it seems a man needs his fingers, his genitals and his shins — his brain he can do without.
There's probably some link from here back to Andy Carroll , but sadly I've taken too many bouncers to the bonce down the years to fathom what it is.
Sportblog Emmanuel Adebayor. This article is more than 10 years old. Harry Pearson. IMO we should have obtained Hernandez or Wellbeck. I would have liked to get Welbeck, also he would count as a homegrown player so would fit the Premier League squad rules as we have already maxed our overseas player allocation.
In that way he can play a proper box-to-box role with Lamela, Chadli and Eriksen ahead of him so he can arrive later in the attack. Think this would suit him more. Soldado is a pure striker, while MP wants, as article points correctly, his CF to be involved with play development. This is something Adebayor likes to do, while Soldado being a pure penalty box finisher, does not and cannot, to be honest… Soldado, therefore, has no place in Poch system.
Good head coaches shall employ more than one system of play. If MP has something else in his pocket, then Soldado could be useful.
Kane will learn and should be eventual Adebayor replacement, but for now we need another striker with Ade abilities or at minimum experience to play that role without taking time to figure it out.
Some good points Bleedlyliwhite. I thought Soldado looked ok in pre-season trying to do what Pochettino wants. That is why Soldado has to play in Europa. I am sure he will be quite successful coming back playing against Partisan. Against top level defenders in EPL his role should only be limited to finishing.
Ideally one would want to have both options in same game. Soldado getting crosses in the box and Adebayor doing what we discussed. That would really stress the opposition defense. Both often look lazy there once dispossessed, but lack of defense skills is the actual reason. That leaves Spurs shorthanded and, thus, vulnerable to counter attack in case opposition get the ball in their box. That is probably why Sherwood stopped playing Adebayor behind Soldado.
I agree both are not great at retrieving the ball once lost, but there are very few good pressing forwards in the EPL at the minute, Suarez was the best at this for me. I have not seen Jonas in game actions, but as far as pressing forwards are concerned Jay Rodriguez is what Poch needs. I think Kane could be molded into that pressing shape under MP guidance, but that would be a project for awhile. Just love your summing up. But we desperately needed that other stricker.
Emmanuel Adebayor has put a halt to a possible loan move to QPR because the Tottenham forward has no desire to join the Loftus Road club. Adebayor has told Spurs he will wait for other options to emerge, but QPR are the only team to have opened formal talks over a loan move until the end of the season. Adebayor was brought to White Hart Lane by current Hoops boss Harry Redknapp, who is keen to strike a deal to bring the front man in on a temporary basis.
Out of favour Tottenham striker Emmanuel Adebayor is holding out for more deadline-day options. QPR boss Harry Redknapp has said although desireable, a move for Adebayor left would be too expensive. Redknapp says that QPR are targeting signings before the end of the January transfer window. The Tongan striker has featured just 11 times in the Premier League this season after taking a two month break for personal reasons. But QPR owner Tony Fernandes said that the club do not anticipate any new signings coming in before the window shuts.
He Tweeted: 'No more cheque book. We have good players. Bought all the players manager asked for in sunmer.
