Leicester's Recent Victories
00:00:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hello and welcome to the Daily Brighton podcast. We are joined with a Leicester fan, Jake, for our crossover podcast. Jake, how are we feeling today?
00:00:20
Jake Leatherland
Yeah, um much better after our victory over West Ham, so much more positive, um excited to talk about the game at the weekend, hope him another good performance and hopefully more points for us.
00:00:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, an unexpected probably win maybe, or maybe not an unexpected win, a rare win potentially for Leicester this season.
00:00:39
Jake Leatherland
right
00:00:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
Jo, you're also joining me ah to talk about how Leicester have done and also analysing how Brighton are doing while you're watching the game as we record against them now.
00:00:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
We are already 1-0 down, which is not the best of starts.
00:00:56
Joe
no
00:00:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
We should already be 2-0 down, you said.
00:00:58
Joe
Yeah, yeah.
00:01:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
What's going wrong so far?
00:01:00
Joe
I feel like I'm at the ground on soccer Saturday, mate. But I'm just in my room mate. Yeah, ah the game is not going very well at the moment. They've had an awful mistake for Bruggan and it won't be one on one, but Igor made a good recovery tackle.
00:01:17
Joe
So yeah, currently it's not going well, but And while I'm also trying to watch this, I'm trying to also look forward to Leicester on a weekend. So I'm actually, I'm a bit discombobulated right now, but ah yeah, um I'm all good myself.
00:01:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
is it
00:01:31
Joe
So
Steve Cooper's Sacking Reaction
00:01:32
Joe
we're all good.
00:01:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah and to keep the Gillette soccer Saturday theme back to me in the studio where we continue to analyse Lester vs Brighton who play on Sunday and Jake, I want to ask you something because it came to a bit of a shock to those potentially outside of Leicester and those neutral fans, I guess, like me and Joe. The Steve Cooper sacking, that seemed to come A, a bit out of the blue and B, he seemed to be doing a not bad job. get Kept them outside of the relegation zone. What did the Leicester fans make of it?
00:02:11
Jake Leatherland
uh... i mean general consensus was was very happy and i was really relieved i think it was more the feeling and i can understand from ah an outside perspective uh... it being a surprise i think it happened quite quickly in terms of performances really took a down term in in those few games and before the chelsea one which was ultimately coopers last match in charge and i can understand yet people said we're outside the relegation zone but in terms of points i think The point I made on the podcast reacting was I think there was three points at the time that separated 19 for 15 for or 16 So it wouldn't have took much to swing um You know either way for whoever's involved and at that time Obviously, we've seen a bit of a shift with the the last sort of the last games this week um You know who's played so far and there's been a bit of a shift.
00:02:40
Joe
Professor, please.
00:03:01
Jake Leatherland
So yeah, I wasn't really that surprised I was relieved. So I think I ah rud van niroy and change was needed because the fans never really connected with Cooper amongst lots of reasons that was why he needed to go.
Leicester's Tactical Analysis
00:03:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I guess was it the style of play that was the biggest problem? Was it a very boring style of play or what was kind of your issue with it?
00:03:23
Jake Leatherland
and Yeah, it was it was quite negative in terms of ah first halves were always quite shocking to be honest. we We never got going. There was always quite a ah negative setup. The Chelsea game probably epitomised that more than anything. We started with four at the back, five at the middle with wingers, wingers deeper than the three midfield. It was just hit the ball long to Bard in.
00:03:43
Jake Leatherland
and my thought was you've had two weeks to prepare the team and this is what you've come up with I'm like really? I mean like look we saw Chelsea rip Southampton apart last night obviously Southampton in 10 men mind but like at no point did we try and get anything any sort of adventurous movement up the pitch to get out it was just banking um and I think it was one of the few times that I've watched Leicester and been a little little bit embarrassed in terms of how we've set up because I'm like we need to at least have a go and we had a go on Tuesday night against West Ham obviously we ended up with a great result but West Ham had lots of shots which I'm sure we'll talk about but we had a go and we always looked like scoring and I think most fans of most clubs if you look like scoring at least can accept other things not quite working out.
00:04:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah Yeah, Joe, I don't know how much you've watched of Leicester, but are they a team coming to, whether that we play this weekend that you're kind of worried about coming or do you think it's a place where we could drop points or how do you kind of see the game going?
00:04:45
Joe
so that so little bit of a um I feel like on paper, if you were to take context out of it, I feel like, well, we probably probably should be going there and winning. But one, they've obviously got a new manager bounce. And if you look at it in terms of like,
00:05:01
Joe
Okay they've gone and they've beat West Ham quite convincingly even though obviously like you said West Ham had a lot of chances. We have just um like come off quite a pretty bad result against Southampton obviously losing now as we speak um but ah The only thing that I say is like a positive is, and it's not a positive, it's in in terms of football, it's not a positive because you want to see, um is it Fattagu?
00:05:23
Joe
Is that how you say his name?
00:05:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:05:24
Jake Leatherland
Yeah.
00:05:25
Joe
You want to see players like that obviously shine in the Premier League. And Buenanote, obviously, he's we've loaned him to you and he's doing really well, but he's obviously not going to be playing.
Upcoming Game Strategies
00:05:33
Joe
So they obviously have that sort of thing.
00:05:37
Joe
Buenanote, I imagine, is ah a massive creative outlet for you. um And him not being there obviously takes away a lot from their sort of attack.
00:05:42
Jake Leatherland
Great.
00:05:46
Joe
But it's just whether we we create enough chances, which by the sounds of things, we will have the chances, just whether we could put them away. And I feel like we could come away with it, but you're going to be so up for it. And I think you, I feel like, especially if this ends the way that it's going at the moment, I feel like you're going to feel like we're up for the taking.
00:06:04
Joe
So that is always something that you should be wary about. It's always sort of the mindset going into the game.
00:06:07
Jake Leatherland
Hmm.
00:06:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I absolutely hate playing it, ah playing a game when the new team or the team that you're against has a new manager. That's actually a curse. It's the new manager bounce is a legitimate thing.
00:06:19
Joe
yeah
00:06:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
They could play like absolute wasps for months. Get a new manager in. They could concede 8-0 week in week out.
00:06:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
Get a new manager in and then they'll win against like like you did with west against West Ham. That's the biggest fear. Why did it have to be against us and West Ham probably thinking the same.
00:06:43
Jake Leatherland
Well, yeah.
00:06:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
Why did you have to get this new manager bounce against us was coming up?
00:06:48
Jake Leatherland
Hmm.
00:06:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah I'm guessing the fans were happy in Leicester or it was yeah in Leicester when you beat them.
00:06:54
Jake Leatherland
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, yeah, yeah. I think, you know, we wanted to see a fast start, which we saw Vardy scored after two minutes. So in terms of things we wanted to see, um, everything sort of got to, you know, a fast start, looking like scoring lots of goals, creating good chances. Um, uh, you know, defensively, okay. we We were quite open at points and and they did have a lot of chances mind. And if, if anyone's had chance to watch the game on the highlights, you know, they would have saw that. However,
00:07:21
Jake Leatherland
you know on the flip side of that there was so many blocks that we made either as a back four or Herman some some great saves and it was sort of that determination mixed with i think a different different tactical setup with the defense drop a little bit deeper um but pressing ah continuously pressing the ball but that back four dropping deeper meant we've got a lot of blocks in which under steve cooper it would have ricocheted through or they'd have had a free shot at goal so for sure in terms of
00:07:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm hmm.
00:07:48
Jake Leatherland
determination and being a bit more structured, we saw that instantly. um And it worked, you know, West Ham missed some chances, but also we got a bit lucky, you know, and it was ah it was a number of factors that meant that we ended up getting a massive positive result for us and um keeps us, I think, four points now ahead of the bottom three, which is great for us.
00:08:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. And I think, yeah, after the after this little ad break, we'll talk more about Rude Van Esteroy, his appointment and his style of play, what you kind of expect to see. And then Joe with us, we'll talk about ah how we think they could hurt us.
Van Nisteroy's New Approach
00:08:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
So stick around.
00:08:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, and we're back with the Daily Brighton and Leicester crossover. We will go into more depth about the West End performance because that was that was obviously the latest game. That was Rude Van Esther Roy's first game as well, so it's probably the only game fair enough to assess based on the this upcoming week.
00:09:13
Jake Leatherland
Hmm.
00:09:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
as And I'll cover some stats, so obviously you had less possession, you had less expected goals, but you still created, or XG was 1.7, still got 8 shots out, ah considering, compared to their 31 though. ah what was yeah What was your style of play, and I guess what do you see going forward as well?
00:09:38
Jake Leatherland
um So the things I expected were the bits that I'd read before and Vanisteroy only had ah just a well basically a season at PS3 left just for the end of the season. Had what, four four games in Man United, three. Two of them were against us and they beat us twice. you know So I think he knew our weaknesses from that. and ah which were quite key, the defence being one but yeah something I expected and we saw which was we'll build up in a back three so Vestergaard came back into the team he's great with the ball at his feet, lacks a lot of pace but he's a great build-up player from the back and kind of Cody also coming in so
00:10:14
Jake Leatherland
we had those two with with either in the first half James just enjoying him when we got the ball to make that make that back three or Victor Christensen more in the second half so that was interesting that at halftime actually not only did he switch that he also switched the midfield attacking three so Buenanote, El Canoose and ah I've gone blank now.
00:10:35
Jake Leatherland
Who else did we play? um Oh, ah Casey McAthea.
00:10:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
Muck at it.
00:10:39
Jake Leatherland
Yeah, of course. So he actually switched all of them around. So they all played a different position in the second half, which in terms of being proactive was fantastic. Steve Cooper, you often could have said, was too late with his subs or tactically tweaking things.
00:10:53
Jake Leatherland
Vanishing just did things really fast. As soon as he saw it, there was no messing about his substitutions were quick. um Yes, again, elements that we wanted to see and elements I expected we did see. Yes, so that's what Brian can expect on Sunday. We're going to have a back three when we have the ball. We will have the ball at the back for longer periods than under Steve Cooper, more like the star we saw under Ando Maresca in the championship, which if if in truth the team sort of set up to play, it's the bulk of the team we had from last year and that started in 11. We haven't had that many changes.
00:11:28
Jake Leatherland
um and the players we have bought, obviously Buena Notto and Loano, Canoose, are great technical players that actually fit into that style really well and that's not an issue.
00:11:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I ah just look in there. I saw that you put, obviously like you said, Connor Cody and Vestergaard in instead of Voutfast and Akoli. Do you reckon he'll go to that experience, the Premier League experience, to kind of see out games? Because against the West Ham, it looks like you defended like resolutely. They only scored in the 93rd minute. They obviously had 31 shots, but If you don't concede from the 31 shots and you are basically keeping a clean sheet up until the final kick of the game, it looks like he went back to that experience and just kind of tried seeing the game out that way.
00:12:11
Jake Leatherland
I think it was a tactic, to it could be an experience thing in terms of leadership kind of coding Vestagard, a far better leader than a Coley who I think is probably still learning the language in truth and and is a younger defender. Wout Faz who's made a lot of mistakes, he came on in the game for Vestagard for about an hour, again made mistakes coming on which and I think the fans have grown tired of of the same mistakes, bringing the ball out from the back and and under no real pressure and then bringing that pressure on himself when he could have played the ball. um So partly that but also from a tactical point of view it made more sense. Vestagov and Cody, or at least Vestagov for sure is our best ball-playing centre-back, very underrated in that aspect. and He has his flaws for sure but in terms of what he brings you on the ball he can he can play a good forwards passage, not just sideways.
00:13:01
Jake Leatherland
um Cody's okay at that, he's probably more that leadership style in fairness than someone like Fazora Coley.
00:13:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
I've got to say, Joe, do you also look at the centre backs of whoever they might be? So let's say Connor Cody, Vestigard and Voutfast if he does come on or if he even does start against us and do sit there and think or lick your lips a bit like I do.
00:13:26
Joe
You got a terrible haircut as well.
00:13:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
Because I think Voutfast is below par.
00:13:31
Joe
Absolute terrible haircut. actually It's just absolutely astoundingly poor haircut.
00:13:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah yeah
00:13:36
Joe
Yeah, they they are lacking in the pace area. I'll tell you that for nothing. um
Defensive Concerns and Strategies
00:13:42
Joe
And I do think that they're sort of key apart from obviously bit on the ball, if you look at defensively, I feel like obviously they'd have to, because of the lack of pace, they'd have to rely so much more on like their positioning and things like that. um If I was Herzler, I'd obviously be looking at sort of like the pace that we have up front. If you take away Danny Welbeck, I mean, he's still probably faster than and which is probably the biggest worry is that he's still probably faster than those defenders but but um but if he can if he could sort of be the focal point and be able to get those some Matoma running off of him um if it whether it's minte, dingro, rutte, whoever it is and um obviously Ja Peja sort of pulling those strings as well then obviously they they will be in trouble because but ah I also don't expect them to
00:14:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
did Yeah. Good.
00:14:06
Jake Leatherland
Yeah. Oh definitely.
00:14:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:14:29
Joe
concede that amount of space in behind because if they are to, they're not going to be pressing up 20, 30 yards away from their penalty box, you know what I mean? So it is going to, I feel like it's going to be hard to potentially break them down.
00:14:44
Joe
um I imagine that a lot of West Ham shots were from outside the box because 31 shots is is ludicrous. I can't imagine that they're all just in the box, they're shooting willy nilly.
00:14:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
it
00:14:50
Jake Leatherland
it it didn't it didn't feel like that outside the box i'll be honest there was a lot inside for sure i didn't i haven't looked at it but it was a lot inside i can't remember many outside to really
00:14:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
It was a lot, yeah.
00:14:57
Joe
Oh my goodness me.
00:14:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm telling you, honestly.
00:15:01
Joe
yeah okay right i
00:15:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I'm not like I'm looking at the shot map. I'm looking at the shot map and I think I can see about 12 that were outside the box.
00:15:08
Joe
mean i mean 12 from outside the box is still quite a lot do you know what i mean
00:15:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
I don't know how you managed to keep a clean sheet.
00:15:15
Jake Leatherland
Yeah, but that means 19 we're in.
00:15:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
They had 31.
00:15:18
Joe
Yeah, right.
00:15:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah exactly
00:15:18
Jake Leatherland
That's a lot.
00:15:19
Joe
We're going to ignore that. And I'm going to because it backs up what I'm trying to say.
00:15:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
approve
00:15:21
Jake Leatherland
yeah
00:15:22
Joe
So I'm going to.
00:15:22
Jake Leatherland
ah
00:15:24
Joe
So essentially, like I don't expect them to. And I know that this is true, that you're not going to try and concede that space in behind. Hence why it's obviously so important.
00:15:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
thank Yeah,
00:15:33
Joe
um Danny Wilbeck can drag these play the center backs out. And because James Justin is not a slouch, 100 percent. James Justin has got at least something in there. But if you're playing out from the back with the three, obviously, when you're so when you're back, are you in a back four when you're defending?
00:15:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
exactly.
00:15:48
Jake Leatherland
Yeah, back four with two in front.
00:15:49
Joe
so it'd be So Justin, I don't know who your left back is. um Yeah, Christensen.
00:15:52
Jake Leatherland
Christians. um
00:15:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
It was Christians.
00:15:53
Jake Leatherland
but
00:15:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
and
00:15:54
Joe
So yeah, I don't expect a lot of space to be, it would be a very, if Christensen and for James Justin, they are going to have to be doing a lot of covering in those sort of areas and the cleanup if the ball goes along and stuff like that.
00:16:06
Joe
So yeah, I would i would be, pace wise, I would be looking for it, but also
00:16:06
Jake Leatherland
Hmm.
00:16:12
Joe
We need to, because they they are good ball players, both of them, you need to press them when they have the ball because otherwise they are just going to sort of be finding all sorts of areas that you don't want the best of guard doing AER diagonal pings across the pitch.
00:16:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm.
00:16:16
Jake Leatherland
moon
00:16:24
Joe
she answer you sir
00:16:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
to be fair that's also you raised a good point like we have struggled this season against low blocks so if you play a low block that's where i actually think we could struggle like i could see it be nil nil uh if it's like a low block because we couldn't beat Ipswich with a low block Southampton kind of played their style of play but didn't at the same time, not to the extent we've known them to. And they were actually quite happy to sit deep and just kind of hoof it long at times. ah Then Nottingham Forest, we struggled to really score. again We scored two, but we could't we didn't really create much more other than that. So it's the low block teams that we have struggled against this season. And that's where I actually fear. I don't know about you, Jo. That's where I fear us on the weekend.
00:17:15
Joe
um Yeah, so the the low block is is something that we do struggle, but I feel like, correct me if I'm wrong, but Jal Pedro missed both of those.
00:17:25
Joe
Well, he didn't miss Southampton, but the game against Ipswich, I swear certainly missed that game.
00:17:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
Nah.
00:17:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, he did.
00:17:31
Joe
um
00:17:31
Jake Leatherland
Hmm.
00:17:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
And against my forest.
00:17:32
Joe
So, and against not forest so like he's the creative spark. So I feel like that, ah to be fair, is it was a bad performance. The Southampton was very poor.
00:17:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mhmm.
00:17:43
Joe
But for them, one of the things I'm actually quite worried about is because of how high the line is. ah Does Jamie Vardy still run at 1000 miles an hour off of three cars of Red Bull or is that not a thing anymore?
00:17:53
Jake Leatherland
He still has his Red Bull, his Red Bull is still a thing. He ran in beyond West Ham and scored, if you've seen the first goal.
00:17:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
He did, yeah.
00:17:59
Joe
Yeah, see that, that's just going to be there.
00:17:59
Jake Leatherland
so that we had We had him, Makatir and El Canoose in the first half, all running behind, very direct. and We've got Pat Sandaka, who you know off air, are slated a bit, but he's very quick and very direct.
00:18:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
He is very good, yeah.
00:18:12
Jake Leatherland
so In terms of those attributes, there is good ones.
00:18:13
Joe
Yeah.
00:18:16
Joe
Yeah.
00:18:16
Jake Leatherland
He just doesn't have many more. say yeah I think a high line we couldn't possibly exploit,
00:18:18
Joe
Yeah. So.
00:18:22
Joe
Yeah, see, that's what I mean.
00:18:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
anything
00:18:23
Joe
So my my biggest fear is the sort of that's that is why I'm sort of saying like, um somehow I'm making this all lead into one thing here. But so if you don't press the centre backs and they're going to be playing balls over the top, we will concede the space that you guys won't, because we want to squeeze the pitch, whereas they want to make the pitch compact when we're attacking.
00:18:45
Joe
We're so much more happy to just try and win it as high as ah up as possible. but if we can see displays behind especially if like Lewis Dunke's playing if he peels off onto that sort of left inside channel and it's Joel Veltman and it's Lewis Dunke or he goes onto the other side and it's ah the Lewis Dunke whatever there's Joel Veltman's not keeping up with Jamie Vardy
00:18:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
Just don't, yeah.
00:19:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
it
00:19:06
Joe
even Jamie Varga be 45 and he's not keeping up with Jamie Varga so like that's that's what I feel like the issue is um because I feel like maybe because Bernadotte is not there who's someone who likes to get onto the ball and obviously to create but create chances that way the long ball is actually there and the long ball is still very dangerous not the Sean Dyche long ball but the long ball in behind into space is dangerous
00:19:31
Jake Leatherland
Yeah.
00:19:33
Joe
the The long ball up to the six foot nine striker is not a thing anymore, but the one to Jamie Vardy off three cans of Red Bull is what I'm looking for. Well, it's what I don't want to see, but that's what I'm expected to see.
00:19:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:19:44
Jake Leatherland
yeah
00:19:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:19:45
Joe
Do you know what I mean?
00:19:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah Yeah. ah We will touch more on some, because obviously, yeah, you won't have Bononate because he will be cup tied or it's not a cup, league tied level.
00:19:55
Joe
No, it's no, it's still cut tight.
00:19:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
Still called CupTide?
00:19:57
Joe
Yeah, yeah, it's still cut tight.
00:19:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
He'll be CupTide for the fixture on Sunday. So we'll be talking about some other players we should be looking out for and that you're potentially excited about, Jake.
00:20:09
Jake Leatherland
Yeah.
Key Players' Impact
00:20:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
and we are back with a daily Brighton and Leicester crossover. So yeah, Jake, obviously Brononotti, we'll touch on him first. How good, and enlighten our fans of how who haven't watched much of Leicester, how good Brononotti has been since he's been online to you.
00:20:44
Jake Leatherland
Mmm. Mmm.
00:20:53
Jake Leatherland
Yeah, he's been absolutely fantastic. I mean, he they say, you know, that, that old line don't fall in love with a lone player, but, um, I think all Leicester fans, it's too late for that with, there's a new chant about him, you know, I think realistically how I see him play for us at the end of this, at the end of this season, I can't see it.
00:21:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
Wow.
00:21:11
Jake Leatherland
Like he's brilliant. He, I can see why he's played for Argentina. Um, I can't believe Brighton have loaned him out. I've got to be honest, that like you know, Brian I've got some great players in there you've just mentioned some good attacking threats but I can't believe he can't get in there but then I understand that he's going to come and play every minute for us because um especially the first sort of five six games he he scored a lot of our goals or made assists like he he basically was contributing to every every goal we were getting he's a massive um has a massive massive impact on the build-up play getting on the ball, taking it past players. and He loves a nutmeg. um Yeah, he's going to be a big miss on Sunday. My hope is that, you know, moving on to another player, El Canoos, who we've signed, I think, from Gank, Moroccan. He had a fantastic game against West Ham. Best game he's had. um Scored, obviously. I think he's really finding his feet. And I'm hoping he can sort of fill the shoes of Buena Notte. But to be honest, having both of them in the team, like having two aces in there that
00:22:12
Jake Leatherland
that also by the way Buononotti's work rate is fantastic you know you usually have luxury players like that who don't work so hard he is a fantastic worker gets stuck in like um I can't chuck n anything negative at him at all so far this season so yeah Brighton are lucky to have him for sure yeah
00:22:30
Joe
Great news.
00:22:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Yeah, I'm not like this was a big talking point when he first got loaned out to Leicester. I think a couple of, ah I think we disagreed, but when don't we disagree? I can't remember who didn't want, I can't remember who didn't want him to be, I think it might have been blessed that didn't want him to be loaned out because he saw, obviously like you say, a spot in him for the squad.
00:22:40
Joe
Yeah, true.
00:22:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think I was very much on the side of, I would like to see him like, I'm all for the loan move because this is great Premier League experience. This is, ah This is an opportunity for eight for him to prove himself and to see if he actually is worthy of staying in the Premier League and playing in the Premier League and coming in coming seasons. And rather than him kind of rot on our bench, like kind of Evan Ferguson's doing a bit, ah it would be perfect for him to get the opportunity out there. Joe, what ah where were you standing with the lone move?
00:23:23
Joe
Sorry, we almost scored.
00:23:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah
00:23:27
Joe
He needs to score, Adingra needs to score.
00:23:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
Tell us about
00:23:31
Joe
Yeah, he's it so Matomas, they've worked it down the left, Matomas pulled it back to Adingra who literally only has to put it in 75% of the goal.
00:23:43
Joe
And he's just decided to go straight at Bert Leno, right?
00:23:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
oh
00:23:51
Joe
No, no, sorry. um Anyway, we're back to Buenonotto. For me.
00:23:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah where were you with the were What did you think about the lone move at the time?
00:23:59
Joe
So for me, it seemed a little bit weird because new manager come in, Bernadotte has already played in the Premier League like quite a bit anyway. So like he he has he has some experience, obviously not a lot. I thought that this season in CSO would have a much more of an impact than he has had. He's literally can't get a sniff at all. So if in CSO can't get a sniff and his probably direct competitor for that role is
00:24:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
not say yeah.
00:24:24
Joe
Buenonote, why is Buenonote now out on loan shining and is he playing for the 23s?
00:24:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm.
00:24:30
Joe
So that doesn't really make sense, but the loan move itself makes sense. But like the reasoning behind it, it doesn't seem to be many reasons why. Like unless he fought, okay, we're going to play him out wide, and then but then we bought like four wingers.
00:24:47
Joe
That also doesn't make any sense because Cozio Dubri plays for Blackburn. He's played five times.
00:24:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yes.
00:24:56
Joe
So that's not working.
00:24:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:24:58
Joe
And then, obviously, Minthe's been injured. It's also not really worked out for him much.
00:25:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm.
00:25:02
Joe
So Ruta's been playing there, now Dinger is playing there, but Dinger is barely played. So they actually now, as sort of everything's evolved during the season, there is a spot for him to play.
00:25:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:25:13
Joe
And he's actually outperforming almost every single one of those players.
00:25:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
That's exactly what I was going to say.
00:25:18
Joe
So, yep.
00:25:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think he's outperformed a Dingra Minter. ah
00:25:25
Joe
I would argue Ritter as well.
00:25:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
and see so and i would yeah i would throw like he's been on par if not worse than ritter so he could easily like that's the only gutting thing and i don't think so i know jake off air you were talking about ah fears of him getting loaned or recalled i don't think that's going to happen still because of the number of people we've got in those forward positions but i think this is
00:25:30
Joe
Yeah.
00:25:39
Jake Leatherland
Hmm. Hmm.
00:25:44
Joe
No.
00:25:47
Jake Leatherland
Yeah.
00:25:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
it's preparing for the future. So once we so once when when we sell again, which is probably inevitable with Zhao Pedro, ah the way he's playing, he'll probably go somewhere in summer.
00:26:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think he's then there to fill the Zhao Pedro void next season, potentially.
00:26:06
Joe
It makes a bit more sense.
00:26:06
Jake Leatherland
Yes, interesting.
00:26:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
That's my that's my take that's my take, but...
00:26:09
Joe
It doesn't make sense, because it gives me the feeling that he didn't rate him.
00:26:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mmm.
00:26:14
Joe
But if he didn't rate him, then he's obviously high. So he needs to be obviously investigated for that.
00:26:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:26:21
Joe
But it just doesn't make sense, because obviously we don't know, do we? We can come up with all these theories or whatever.
00:26:25
Jake Leatherland
um
00:26:27
Joe
I mean, I have just said that our own management is high. That obviously is the case.
00:26:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
page it
00:26:32
Joe
But you don't know what happens when I close, or he could have had a terrible attitude, but then he's obviously gone to less room, and he's like, well, this is my chance now.
00:26:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah
00:26:39
Joe
Yeah, I'm gonna, you know, I'm gonna take it by the scruff of the neck sort of thing.
00:26:40
Jake Leatherland
yeah i think
00:26:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, yeah.
00:26:42
Jake Leatherland
I think he's so young, still this you're absolutely right he's played a lot of games considering his age, he's obviously played you know some games for Argentina, but he's really young and actually getting minutes on the pitch matters far more than probably anything else.
00:26:52
Joe
Mm-hmm.
00:26:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm hmm.
00:26:55
Joe
100% there.
00:26:55
Jake Leatherland
um and and you've got some You've just named some really good players there, Minter and Dingra, Rutter, Pedro, all vying. Bueno Notte's great because I think he's actually better off the right than he's in the middle for us, but he's brilliant in both minds.
00:27:06
Joe
Mm-hmm.
00:27:08
Jake Leatherland
um he can play those two roles but you've got four players there and none of them are going to move on in January you wouldn't have thought um or you're going to look to move on however in the summer Pedro yet possibly might get a good offer for him anding and drink you never really know you know obviously the market moves but Buenonotti then has another year of um he's gonna end up if he plays the whole season for us doesn't get injured obviously he will play 35 he'll play 35 games 34 35 games because i think obviously he can't play two units brighter and he's missed like one i think so far so he will play every game that he can play
00:27:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, yeah.
00:27:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, yeah.
00:27:46
Joe
That's what we love to hear though.
00:27:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
And yeah, that's it.
00:27:47
Joe
We love to hear that.
00:27:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
That's the beauty of looking forward and the the beauty of having young players as well. There's actually another player that I am fearing ah in the Leicester squad. I don't know about you, Jo, but Hermeson in goal, I think genuinely.
00:28:01
Joe
why would i Why would I fear him? He's a goalkeeper. What's he gonna do?
00:28:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:28:04
Jake Leatherland
i and so He's a wonderful Pole.
00:28:04
Joe
He's gonna start running with the ball in there.
00:28:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, he's not going to last because he's notnna let
00:28:06
Joe
I know he's really good. I know he's really good. I understand he's really good, but I've never ever gone into any football game and gone, I'm really scared about that goalkeeper.
00:28:10
Jake Leatherland
He's brilliant.
00:28:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm fearing a goalkeeper. Well, I'm fearing the goalkeeper because he's going to save about 17 shots that we have on target.
00:28:21
Jake Leatherland
yeah
00:28:22
Joe
Yeah.
00:28:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
He has been world class.
00:28:22
Jake Leatherland
Honestly, he's so good. Yeah, he's he's excellent. Chelsea bid for him in the summer. Obviously Enzo had gone to Chelsea.
00:28:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
oh
00:28:29
Joe
They bid for me, mate. Trust me.
00:28:30
Jake Leatherland
Yeah, yeah. They bid for everyone. But no, he's fantastic. like and We've obviously been very blessed. We had Casper Schmeichel for such a long time. And then we had that one season without ah a Danish goalkeeper.
00:28:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah yeah
00:28:42
Jake Leatherland
We had Iverson, but he was our backup.
00:28:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm.
00:28:44
Jake Leatherland
So we still had a Danish keeper. We obviously got relegated and then we bought Hermanson, another fantastic Danish goalkeeper who's going to fill the Schmeichel void for Denmark. And I hate to say it, another player I can't see playing for Leicester next year because he's so, he's brilliant.
00:28:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:29:00
Jake Leatherland
um He's not just a. You know, goalkeepers now that have to be good with their feet and that was the first thing we all noticed. Yeah, he's great with his feet, but we also very quickly worked out. He's a fantastic goalkeeper in terms of the basics.
00:29:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:29:12
Jake Leatherland
His shot stopping is wonderful. He's made so many saves this season. I've stood stood up and applauded, you know, and it's those sort of saves that keep doing games.
00:29:20
Joe
in the ground, I hope, not at home.
00:29:22
Jake Leatherland
Well, both, both, mate, they've been that good.
00:29:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:29:24
Joe
Is it is it allowed? Just like, yes.
00:29:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah Yeah, amazing.
00:29:27
Jake Leatherland
i Yeah, but they're the saves that, you know, um, we haven't had someone it's been years since I've done that, but this season, I think I've done it three or four times in in games.
00:29:27
Joe
Come on.
00:29:38
Jake Leatherland
I can think of at home because he's kept us in the match.
00:29:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:29:41
Jake Leatherland
It's, it's one of the match, you know, it's Bournemouth or West Ham. So yeah, he's, he could be the difference maker and and you're quite right. He's a goalkeeper. So it says a lot that I'm saying that, but he is that good.
00:29:50
Joe
Yeah, there's also been, so yeah, yeah.
00:29:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
Exactly, Joe. Be fearful. Be fearful of the goalkeeper.
00:29:54
Joe
and The thing is as well, they're so good about that is that this season, and I'd say um if you were to do a team of the year, I feel like loads of the positions pit themselves, but the goalkeeper is sort of one position where not, there hasn't really been many good ones.
00:30:04
Jake Leatherland
Hmm.
00:30:09
Joe
I think you could walk off the top of your head, Rea, Onana somehow, I don't know what's happened there.
00:30:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. and she said
00:30:14
Joe
um ah Hermanson obviously, um and probably what, Kelleher?
00:30:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
Um, yeah.
00:30:16
Jake Leatherland
Yeah.
00:30:19
Jake Leatherland
What?
00:30:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, color being close, yeah.
00:30:20
Joe
Yeah.
00:30:21
Jake Leatherland
Yeah.
00:30:21
Joe
So, and then Vibruggen, Vibruggen you would say as well, he's just made a mistake.
00:30:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
That's about it, really, yeah.
00:30:24
Jake Leatherland
Hmm.
00:30:26
Joe
Kelleher last night. literally he might have been high i'd could potentially because he's literally just left the ball whatever's going on there but I mean yeah it's it is good to see and it would actually be a bit of a shake because why Chelsea are bidding for him it doesn't make any sense because they've literally got nine on the books and even their youth goalkeeper is a decent so like that doesn't really make and the goalkeeper that they use in the Premier League is the worst out of all nine of them so
00:30:28
Jake Leatherland
Hmm.
00:30:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
he said we
00:30:42
Jake Leatherland
Well, yeah.
00:30:52
Joe
ah ah don't know I don't know, but I hope that ah it's good to see. I like Leicester, I'll be honest. like There's a lot of crossovers that come on here. I don't like him.
00:31:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
she shit
00:31:02
Joe
Not the people, but like the team, I don't like him. I like Leicester, his vibes.
00:31:05
Jake Leatherland
yeah
00:31:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
Is there anyone that you do fear then, Joe? Anyone in that?
00:31:09
Joe
um
00:31:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
Because obviously, Buonanote Cup tied, Bilal El Canusu, if you play football manager, he is the wonderkid to buy, and I have many a time.
00:31:16
Jake Leatherland
Yeah, that's right
00:31:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
But yeah, is there anyone else that you fear, Joe? Because obviously, Fotawi was another player that I was actually thinking, oh, damn.
00:31:24
Joe
Yeah, yeah.
00:31:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
But he's season-ending injury.
00:31:29
Joe
I'm not going to pick any of the defenders, so I'm going to have to run with Hermanson and Vardy to be honest.
00:31:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
Nope. Yeah.
00:31:34
Joe
El Canusa, I've not seen him in often to be able to really comment. um Saying that he is probably going to kill us, isn't he? ah
00:31:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
take it
00:31:40
Joe
um We said this when we play, before we play this, we were like, yeah, Tyler Diblin, Tyler Diblin, Tyler Diblin. Tyler Diblin killed us, mate.
00:31:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:31:49
Joe
So, yeah, we did predict it, which means, which means the Manson's gonna make 30 saves and Vardy's gonna scratch it, so.
00:31:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
that was' We predicted it, to be fair. We said that's their only threat, and he was their only threat.
00:31:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
There we go. And on that bombshell, it's time to end. I sounded like Top Gear Jeremy Clarkson there. Before we do actually end, let's get a score prediction.
00:32:07
Joe
You look like him as well, mate. ah Go on then, Jake, as you're the guest.
00:32:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
Uh.
Brighton vs Leicester Predictions
00:32:13
Jake Leatherland
Often with ease I'm so negative because we've been so poor and negative all season but this is the first time I'm feeling positive I completely respect Brighton who are having a really good season it's gonna be a tough game. um As I always say there's no way we're gonna keep a clean sheet because we've kept one all season that was lucky so that's not gonna happen so it should I think there'll be goals in the game. um My instinct wants to sort of go with like a 2-2, 3-2 someone nicks it, I think they'll be goals. I think I'm just scared for a two term sort of go safe in that I think both teams will score goals. um And I'm sort of hoping that we obviously Hermanson has a great game. um but But yeah, I'm expecting us to score but also to to concede at some point.
00:32:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
Joe?
00:32:58
Joe
I'm, you know exactly what I'm gonna say mate. Jake's a man after my own art here because his logic is almost exactly the same as mine. Apart from, this is essentially a running gag at this point.
00:33:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm-hmm.
00:33:08
Joe
3-2, Brighton. Shock horror. I've literally predicted it.
00:33:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
he said
00:33:11
Joe
I've predicted it ah predictor every time on the crossovers and then my real prediction is on obviously the preview, but it actually has come in once.
00:33:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah
00:33:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah and the free teacher
00:33:20
Joe
It's coming once against Tottenham out of all teams as well.
00:33:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:33:23
Joe
It's coming. So yeah, 3-2. But this game is like it has that sort of vibe on it. Do you know what I mean?
00:33:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
I won't lie, I'm thinking of one nil.
00:33:32
Joe
Oh my God.
00:33:32
Jake Leatherland
so
00:33:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
1-0 Brian.
00:33:33
Joe
Right. i Wrap up the pod.
00:33:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
we We can finally beat Hermanson after he's saved 75 shots.
00:33:36
Jake Leatherland
ah
00:33:39
Joe
but Right.
00:33:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
That's my hope. Finally getting one pass him and that's it.

Joe
Okay.
