Leicester City player and manager ratings after seven games, C-grade start | OneFootball

Leicester City reach the international break with a C for their first seven League One games. They are 14th with two wins as a 14-strong rebuild and returning loanees settle.

According to LeicesterMercury.co.uk, Russell Martin’s side have ridden out setbacks and noise, and a seven-game October now offers a platform to gather momentum.

Jakub Stolarczyk was composed before an ACL at Plymouth ended his season, 6/10. Alex McCarthy has produced both sharp saves and soft concessions since taking over, 6/10. At the back, Jayden Joseph has been outstanding at right-back, 8/10, with Harry Souttar steady in the air but uncertain on the turn, 6/10. Caleb Okoli has looked uneasy playing out, 5/10. Luke Thomas has improved, including as a makeshift centre-back, 6/10, while Christian McFarlane mixed balance with a poor Oxford display, 6/10.

In midfield, John Lundstram’s brief start has added calm, experience and leadership, 8/10. Louis Page has excelled in a tweaked role, 8/10, Sammy Braybrooke began brightly then dipped, 7/10, and Harry Howell’s craft brought a first goal, 7/10.

Out wide, Will Alves has tormented full-backs, 8/10, while Wes Burns has struggled aside from a smart Burton finish, 4/10. Liam Cullen has two in two from the right, 7/10. Up front, Emil Riis impressed with a Stockport brace, 8/10, and Admir Bristric’s industry has been rewarded, 6/10. Martin is 6/10 for his principles and reshaping, with flaws stalling progress, and the coming run needs to count.
