Leicester City (H) Post Match Thread

The "modern" game is now about getting more penalties than your opponents.
Players are playing for them and refs think they've done their jobs by obliging and giving them.
Theres been 7 penalties in 7 prem games this weekend, says it all.
When did the game become so soft and poncey?
The death of football and it sickens me

It’s self full filling though isn’t it. Maddison goes down like a tart and wins a pen... he’ll do it next week and the week after because it gets results.

Mendy and Garcia. Absolutely shocking

I’m still at a loss as to why Mendy ( another failed left back buy ) is still at the club. He’s been less than useless since he knackered himself in that awful “I’ll get you back” tackle.
 
So tragic it’s almost funny.

Defence looks worse than I’ve ever seen it. Defenders who can’t do the absolute basics...I tell my 8 year old to get the right side of attackers (goal side) when he’s defending....seems someone needs to tell Mendy, Garcia and Walker about that too.Maybe show them a few videos ....

pep, I love you for what you’ve done for us but you can’t go into another season using the exact same tactics and formations you’ve been using since you got here....the PL constantly evolves and teams work you out ....really disappointed to see the same approach to the game and witness the same old problems. That’s not genius...it’s stubbornness.

Raz, Phil, did fuck all, no work rate or intelligence to how they played. KdB doing that thing he does when frustrated...making all the wrong decisions and pouting.

Rodri cant control the MF...saw it in parts last week with wolves and again, particularly when Fern went off.

Fern is a legend, but his legs have gone. Right decision to take him off but you’ve got to have a plan...we didn’t.

We’ve known about our defensive issues for ages - done nothing about it
We know we need a replacement for Aguero - done nothing about it

hopefully we’ll start to plan for the future now.

Throw in an ageing Fern and Aguero, and a shocking Garcia and the squad has regressed. Players like Yaya, Silva, Kompany have not been adequately replaced and no Fern and Aguero replacements in sight.

Nothing has changed, Wolves, United, Spurs, Arsenal , Norwich, Southampton, Lyon and now Leicester, we are in serious decline.

What is going on, we won that CAS case and we should have blown everyone out of the water with quality signings.

Ake and Torres not the quality the club need, we need to rebuild the spine with world class players.

Ake Looks like a good signing
 
All the penalties were quite soft but they were all stupid ones to give away by the defenders. The 2 goals in open play were both great finishes.

I don't rate Garcia as a defender, he's OK on the ball but can't defend. We are thin on the ground for centre backs so Pep didn't have much choice but to play him. He's not good enough though IMO.

I'm not convinced by Mendy, we really need to sign a decent left back but seem to have missed the boat this window, unless there are plans afoot we don't know about.

Taking Fernadinho off was a strange sub. Not sure what Pep was thinking.

Not sure what's going on with Pep at the moment but he is looking to me like he doesn't really want to be here anymore. Things might change if we bring in some more players but so far this transfer window hasn't been the best.
 
We needed this. It should be a massive wake up call. Lack of pace at the centre of defence continues to be our achilles heel. It’s only made worse by insufficient pace and energy at the CDM position and a brainless left-back.

Dias won’t solve anything. A pair of Laporte and Dias is more worrisome than the centre-back pairing we played today. Player recruitment, particularly when it comes to defensive areas, has been abysmal. That won’t change until the people making those decisions changes.

Perhaps this will be a reality check for a lot of people. We’ll be scraping for top-four this season, not challenging for the title let alone the Champions League. The weaknesses that were glaringly obvious last season remain. Not even Messi can paper over these issues.

Time for some truths we are in trouble.

pep sign a new contract or go on Monday.

This team needs a total rebuild.

piss poor we still have no replacements for vinny, fern, Aguero & you could argue even Silva.

injuries are not the issue anymore. It’s a lack of planning, motivation & energy
