Leicester City (H) Post Match Thread

[Neville Kneville]

What tactic? Hope the opposition gives away 3 of the worst penalties I have seen? You can’t seriously praise Leicester for our own implosion. Even a u12 team would have won against that performance today.

Teams know that they don't have to attack us to beat us & even if we score, they will create chances with one or two players going forward.

We look mentally weak and done in recently. Always seem to start well and dominate. But concede a sloppy goal and have a proper wobble. Once we went 1-1 I told my Leicester mate this could be 5-1. Just looked possible. No idea how Pep solves this. He will tho.

I agree , apart from pep will sort this , that had all the shades of last season , dominate position , other team parks the bus , we don’t create anything , other team punished us with any half chance .
I think this will be peps last seasonand sadly think it will end with a bit of a wimper .
Somethings just not right .

We all know about the personnel issues that are there and still hasn't been addressed. But that still doesn't excuse the application from most of the players today. I would keep an eye on them whenever the ball was lost and with no fail their head will just drop, there will be a half attempt at a press and jog and then that would be it. Imo the first initial press in transition when the ball is lost from the forwards and midfield has been the biggest problem along with the failure to address the defence in the side for the past couple seasons. leicester only needed to play one pass whenever they won the ball and they would be straight through either running at the defence or a chance to get through on goal.

This was happening through the 1st half and even before their goal and the fact that attitude didn't change but in fact seemed to get worse in the second half points to a bigger problem. I don't want to be the one to read too much into the 2nd league game in such an unusual season with the fixtures as well as the injury issues but this question of attitude and application has been one that started from last season and carried into this one and at this point I doubt having the injured players back would make that much of a difference.

Another ban coming my way again curtesy of you lot again, thanks for turning up pal.

If you put the revolver against your temple and pull the trigger don't blame somebody else if the contents of your skull exit via the opposite temple.

 

[The1nvisibleMan]

Yeah 4 years of shit, not winning leagues and no finals.
Stop being a fuckin drama queen

Okay let’s all accept mediocrity then.

 

[Blue tiger]

This is what happens when you do nothing to fix the deficiencies we have in the squad. Hopefully Ruben Dias will be the start of it and be the commanding CB we need. Still a LB, CDM and striker away from winning the league!

 

[Robinho's Subbuteo]

I would be wary of making daft comparisons then mate

But congratulating Liverpool on the title after 2 games isn't daft in the slightest of course.

 

[SidJames]

Ake in his second game was our best defender.

The back 4 was embarrassing. We conceded 5 goals against fucking Leicester. They scored with their first chance AGAIN.

I felt for Ake sandwiched between those 2 Clowns.

You could see he was anticipating problems Mendy,and Garcia should have been anticipating, and was starting to move towards them positional wise.

Mendy and Garcia are dreadful.

For a Center half Garcia is as slow as a Pensioner.

I still can not get my head around Leroy being benched until his exit for not resigning. Yet Garcia has already told us he is off,and here he is playing.Seems like double standards.

 

[JamesMCFC]

If the club hierarchy have watch that match and still think we don't need to make additional signings, they honestly need sacking or serious questions at least need to be asked.

 

[kanovic]

He is not good enough at LB as a regular, ok to fill in for injuries etc.

Cancelo is an example of how poor we have become as a buying club.

60m on a backup RB who can't defend when the club was desperate for a CB

Non of our fullbacks can defend, we don’t buy them to defend

I don't mind losing if the team gives everything but that performance today was not a team giving it's all. It is starting to look like one which isn't necessarily prepared to give all for the manager. I think the murmurs that came out of the squad after Lyon are showing the team doesn't rate the tactics.

For a start if Garcia is leaving at the end of the season then we should either sell him or not play him again.bhes not committed it's that simple. I can't understand why we play him now at all.

The penalties were utterly stupid to give away. We moan about VAR but if you make no effort to play the ball and put all your effort in to using your arms to pull people you're going to concede penalties. I saw the stat which showed something like 6 goals in 8 shots or whatever and it's just disgraceful. You won't win any trophy if you play like that.

Strikers are another massive concern. It's an absolute disgrace that Delap has to make his debut as the only 2 strikers we have are injured. We should've brought in a stop gap for a year.

I honestly don't know what to make of that. If I was a neutral I'd be saying the managers lost it and might be facing the sack and the players know it. We have no leaders on the pitch at all. No aggression (Fern apart) and no one like a Kompany, or Yaya who can take big games and boss it. We don't.

The board have to sit down and find out what's happening with the contract. If he's not willing to take on the rebuild then he has to go. He is a legend, but life goes on.

you’ve got it absolutely spot on

 

[Keeper!]

But do the powers that be know ?

Is there time to rectify the situation before the window closes, probably not seeing the time it takes to get signing over the line.

Not a time to make panic signings, we have messed this window up big time.

Appalling waste of time and resources chasing Messi, the second summer transfer window of complete failure.

I am sorry but Tikxi should now leave, he has failed to maintain the quality and depth of this squad since he arrived at the club.

We can’t just keep throwing money at the problem though its gotta be deeper than that. 100m on the starting fullbacks and not a braincell between them

 

[Nellies left peg]

.

Exactly

 

[brummie blue]

If we are serious about moving forward and progressing again under Pep, we need to buy from the top shelf again in this remaining window.

Proper XXX Bluey stuff.

Spot on Tolmie, but do you think we are willing to go to the top shelf any more, we haven't for a few seasons now and it's showing.

 

[K8babes]

Can’t believe we are demanding 30 million euros for Garcia lol!!!

we should be snatching their hands off for the 10 million euros they offered.

 

[ballinio]

The second pen should have been overturned, Vardy kicked Garcia initiating contact. Why wasn't it reviewed.

You know why

 

[Bovril]

If you put the revolver against your temple and pull the trigger don't blame somebody else if the contents of your skull exit via the opposite temple.

Wouldn't happen because of Ballistics, nice to know you are here unlike your mates, have a good evening if you can after the result.
