On Friday night, Leicester City shared the spoils with West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns. Drawing is turning into something of a trademark under Marti Cifuentes.
We’ve been quite generous to the newest LCFC head coach so far; offering that leniency may be wearing thin. Why would our site start to turn on or strongly criticise the manager? Largely because of somewhat uninspired displays, particularly in attack.
Not to mention the growing selection concerns with certain players keeping their spots without clear justification, in our view of course.
No.1 Foxes goalkeeper Jakub Stolarczyk wasn’t thrilled after the Midlands deadlock either. The Polish shot-stopper took to social media to express his annoyance at the result.
Yet, besides showing that he cared and was let down by the outcome, City’s first-choice also backed his teammates and pledged to keep progressing. And we have an update on one of Leicester’s most iconic goalkeepers of all time for the Blue Army supporters as well.
The second part of this piece turns the spotlight on Celtic, interestingly. The Hoops currently have a former King Power coaching team guiding their squad. Brendan Rodgers has a few seasoned, ex-Leicester men at his disposal too.
Danish keeper Kasper Schmeichel is among them. Forward Kelechi Iheanacho is another former Fox. And Schmeichel has confessed that he just “can’t get rid of” Iheanacho.
Jakub Stolarczyk was not happy following Leicester City’s West Bromwich Albion encounter:
“Not satisfied with another draw, but we stuck together and fought until the end, we keep improving.” – [Stolarczyk]
Stolarczyk went on Instagram to share his emotions after the match. He essentially stated he was dissatisfied after successive draws. Still, he also applauded team unity and looked ahead positively.
