Leicester City (H) Post Match Thread

[ancoats]

It's a massive game tomorrow, which it always was going to be, but if Arsenal win then all of a sudden it's a very open season and if not I could see them having it wrapped up by Christmas again.

i don't think it will be like that this season ?
the hunger maybe gone in liverpool players once they won the premier league last season and its always hard to retain the title, also liverpool luck has to come undone without major injuries to key players

kompany laporte mendy aguero jesus stones KDB to hand all have missed big chunks of football over the last 3 seasons
now if liverpool had to do without key players i would say its a different story

Rodgers bummed Pep today playing simple football, the same simple football City defenders

I wouldn’t imagine so but then they weren’t crap last year were they. This place is hilarious it’s like no one watches the games.

Hhahaha not even on the same planett, that Bayern defeat wont stop them cleaning up will it??

 

[Del_Bosque]

It’s strange every window we seem to get worse

 

[Lemon7277]

The biggest issue is that we are a club walking into Aldi these days and wanting m&s quality food without the price

 

[BluechesterCity]

Harwood-Bellis (?) should be getting game time instead of Garcia. If he doesn't see he is future at City then that should happen immediately; take 15m for him.

 

[CC1]

yep mendy is done ? stick the fork in him and pull him out of the fire

He’s better when we have all our better defenders in the team & he can get forward. But I’ve said from the off - he just can’t defend if he’s in his own.

The injuries at the moment have a knock on effect on our good players as they have to play out of position.

 

[Neville Kneville]

So defenders need to be a bit more intelligent in those situations, Mendy just blundered into him.

The worse mistake was letting him get there in the first place.

We were in trouble without the pen.

 

[dubblue]

No, we were poor. The conspiracy theory stuff is just a lazy excuse.

I never said we were not poor.

 

[manimanc]

Bollocks we are simply not good enough, drama??? If you think that defence & that useless **** at LB isn't a drama then crack on mate

The manager has folded again today & should take all the shit he will get

£400m spent on a defence & we are still buying defenders, if Pep can't see the LB is a shambles then he can fuck off for me

Sounds like you've been used to winning and because we got beat you've chucked your toys out the pram.
Granted left back is a problem, mendy isn't a defender is he! He spends all his time in the left wing position most of the time which when you're winning games and controlling the possession it goes unnoticed but because we got no recognised centre forward where the ball would stick, it's coming back into midfield where we've bombed on and the other team runs at will with us all out of position.

Saying the manager has folded is shit, 3 penalties against us is unheard of, sloppy defending and sloppy finishing from us and we're our own worst enemy but kneejerk posts get on my tits.

 

[Keeper!]

Roberto signings laid the foundations for all our success.

And i will go as far as saying all Roberto signing's were fundamental in Pellegrini. and Pep success.

They have all left the biggest void.

Thats the truth.

He and Garrry Cook were outstanding in the market, Roberto's ability to spot a player was outstanding.

Together they make Tixki look like an idiot with a gold card.

 

[Vienna_70]

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.

We all know that signiN’Golos can be made quickly, if necessary. That’s why so many deals are can be completed on deadline day.

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

They scraped past Leeds.

Yep, and they did something that we have singularly failed to do a lot in the last 12 months...scrape past teams after a poor performance...we used to, not any more

 

[Blue tiger]

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

I know what you are saying, but the gaps in the squad are what they are. I agree after spending the best part of £50m on mendy we shouldn't need a LB but we do! Same with the CDM. Rodri 67m, now I dont think Rodri is a terrible footballer just not suited to our team. We have wasted good money on the wrong choices. As for Jesus, lad runs his bollocks off, but ain't no Aguero, these are all issues that should have been sorted over the last 18 months and haven't.

 

[DTKOAG]

That was a performance you see near the end of the season when you have fuck all to play for..
Not you’re 1st home game of a new season.

 

[Neville Kneville]

Harwood-Bellis (?) should be getting game time instead of Garcia. If he doesn't see he is future at City then that should happen immediately; take 15m for him.

He's not ready.

Neither should be even in the squad for PL games.

 

[kdbrise]

We have been on the decline since 2019, same year we signed Rodri who has started majority of the games. Makes you think.
He has terrific shooting, slick passing, can't forget that goal at Burnley but he is not athletic enough to play that role in this league, exposes our CBs way too much, even Granit Xhaka looks faster than him. Wonder who scouted him, was it a panic buying when we actually wanted Saul.

This post deserves so much more than a like!

 

[Prater70]

It's my opinion that Koulibally was always Pep's preferred option. Has he been overruled for financial reasons and was Dias not his choice

 

[Kippax77]

What’s that got to do with it? All 3 were penalties and stupid shitty lazy challenges.

look at how many pens get dished out these days compared to say 5, 10 years ago.
Its shit and players are playing for them cos they know they'll get them.
The slightest touch now results in a player taking off the floor by both feet.
Piss poor and embarrassing

The buys have been a little strange when you analyse them. Pep isn't getting the best out of the team at the moment either which is also worrying. Wolves could easily have taken points. Feels like some our weaknesses havent been addressed. I love Foden he is one of my favs but it will take him abit of time to be a consistent match winner. We need an out and out Silva replacement. All that said we did have a lot of players out.
