Leicester City (H) Post Match Thread

[sir baconface]

Pep on just now criticising Leicester for their defensive mentality... Fcukin good job or they might not have settled for just the five goals.

You can safely say Pellegrini and Mancini signed better players than Pep

You can add Mark Hughes to that list too - he signed Kompany Zabaleta and Tevez - shit manager and ex rag but signed some great players for City

Pep inherited an aging team from Pellers with 11 players on the wrong side of 30. But legends like Dave, Kun, Kompany and Ferna were still top quality and we had 2 fantastic seasons from 2017 to 2019.

Now Pep has to make the next step and replace the legends. It's difficult! How to replace some of the greatest players in PL history and stay among the best in the world? Of course, time and patience are needed, can't happen overnight.

We have many top talents but most of them are not in their prime yet. Compare with Liverpool, most of their players are 27-30 y.o., which is optimal. Look at our team, the likes of Cancelo, Dias, Laporte, Ake, Mendy, Rodri, Bernardo, Jesus, Foden, Sterling, Stones, Torres are top talents but not in their prime yet.

Will we have another transitional season? I don't know, I believe that once we have a settled CB pair and our forwards are fit, we will be the best team in England again. Maybe not already in October and November but we will finish the season as the best team in England and hopefully Europe.

We have got some serious problems that were evident last season and haven’t been addressed.

Complete shitshow today. Poor in attack and shocking in defence.

The only positive was I didn’t watch it at the ground. Awful

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

There could be an issue with group thinking, possibly?

Pep, Txiki, Soriano and Khaldoon, that's pretty much the transfer committee.

I don't envisage anybody in that consultation process who goes against the grain?

I'm sure they would agree on most things.

Hetty Wainthropp Investigates is on right now.

Even she can't get to the fucking bottom of why we have bought wrongly in Mendy and Rodri.

Jonathan creek would have nailed it

 

[onceabluealways]

hahahaha will he fuck, will wait until jan and then say yeah i'm off at the end lol have fun

I think Pep only considered staying because of Messi, He'll be off at end of season or resign earlier if we dont improve

 

[citymike1969]

Disgrace. Same as last season. No energy, devoid of ideas and can't defend.

Granted we're missing a lot of players but the ones that were out there are shit.

Couple of those players should never play for us again.

Mendy and Garcia. As far as the latter is concerned, I don't care how short of numbers we are, any player who announces a desire to leave and then declared an intention to run down his contract should not get any pitch time whatsoever.
Rodrigo is terrible as well. Immobile and more square passes than ray Wilkins on a bad day.

Thought we missed Bernardo today, apart from a LB I truly believe we have the players in the squad to win the league. Just can't afford to drop many more points so early in the season.

Bernardo was poor last season aswell mate.
