Derby 1-3 Leicester: 3 Noticeable things from Pride Park
By Akash Roy
Patson Daka needs more opportunities to shine
Patson Daka should be incorporated to a greater extent this season after the poaching abilities he is putting on display. It would be pointless not to expose the Zambian international fully to the Premier League’s atmosphere like last season.
Daka scored from Nampalys Mendy’s long ball, similar to the one he scored in the past with James Maddison. He showed in the last few games why he is a proper poacher of this game. In both the matches, he intercepted a long ball aimed for him with timed perfection to land in a directed finish bearing his signature. His exceptional pace covers up for the chances he misses. With tiring legs in the final quarter, he can be a lethal injection that can be the difference maker.
Final Takeaway
Team B can perform, and City proved that. They have the resources to compete even without making a single signing. The preseason outings are going well, and these performances might give a new chance of consideration for many players who want to stay and earn minutes.
The team needs polishing in their defensive department- that needs no saying. But just in the offense, they are more than all right at this moment.
