Leicester City (H) Post Match Thread

Could someone who’s seen a lot more of him than I have please reassure me about Torres? Looks bang average to me.

FFS it was his first premier league appearance.

Bayern Munich will still win evetything

Was Fernandinho on a yellow? That's the only think I can't work out why take him off and not Rodri?

I think we should have just held on for a draw and kept him on but then Pep would get stick for not gambling on Delap.

Tbf that really is a shock.

This isn't for us as it's the same stuff as last season.

Time will tell. Liverpool didn't have to replace players like Kompany, Ferna, Silva and Aguero. They are not in transition, we currently are. That's the difference.

Besides, Liverpool had a preseason. Our players were still resting when they played against Arsenal for the CS. Their defence was also shambolic against Leeds. Unlike us, though, they diodn't have any injuries in attack.

I accept that, but this transition isn’t going to be done by the end of the year. It’s a big job and so far our signings over the last couple of seasons or so haven’t delivered.

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.

Sometimes when you look at the type of player 'they' conclude will be a great fit for the team you can only presume they think they are still building a La Liga team, that is what is most staggering, hell of a legacy to leave behind.

At the end of the day, 'they' wanted to do the CFG project at Barca but didn't have the funds to do so, sometimes it feels like a vanity project being run by a team who have carte blanche and will sail away once the time is right for 'them'.

Edit- Obviously I don't include Khaldoon in the collective or the 3 Barca stooges but it did always feel like he probably pushed very hard for Pep to come to us.

Gary Neville has just been found wanking in the bogs of the main stand, the dirty bastard

Sorry have I missed something - we used to sing Gary Neville is a wanker

Make shift back 4 containing players who havent had a preseason

It had 3 full internationals. It cost over 100m. They’re professional athletes. Most pathetic excuse I’ve seen.

 

[oddfellows]

Who gives a fuck if he scores one screamer. He can’t do his job. Come good?? Do me a favour his issue is pace and he isn’t getting any from anywhere.

Send him back to Athleti in exchange for Partey

 

[Norbert D]

Whilst all three penalties were soft and very much to form for that cheating little **** Oliver, you have to look at what’s going on between the ears of Walker and Mendy, neither seem capable or knowing when to leave a alone, surely Pep will have warned what a bunch of cheating diving cunts Leicester are, surely he would have warned them about cheating **** Oliver? “Whatever you do don’t touch them in the area” or did he? I honestly think we are coming to the end of the Pep era, it’s been great but it‘s now too easy for the bus parking teams aided by filthy officials to beat us.

Injuries, lack of pre season, limited rest and training sessions. Results like this can occur.

Not had a full presason together. The dice was already loaded from the start of this season. Price tag is irrelevant on this occasion.

H

He just won the golden glove

Joe Hart won 4 of them. Ederson has regressed like the rest of the squad.

 

[manimanc]

That’s just not true. It’s just that those legendary characters are generational. Chelsea couldn’t replace Terry, Lampard Cole and Drogba. We can’t replace Kompany, Aguero or Silva. Barca couldn’t replace Iniesta and Xavi. Tottie. The reason these players are held in such regard is because they come around once for your club every 50-100 years. It makes me laugh when people say we haven’t ‘replaced’ Kompany, no shit! We signed him for peanuts from Hamburg or Andelecht and didn’t know that he’d become our greatest ever player.

Isn't that what I've just said?

 

[City Hobgoblin]

The old spine of the team leaving or getting on a bit
Inadequate replacements
Arteta moving on
Laborious slog over the summer
Current injuries
The Messi sideshow distraction

It all adds up

 

[omcfc]

We used to sign the likes of Aguero, Tevez, Silva, Yaya, Kompany, de Bruyne etc. But we haven't signed that kind of class for a while and it's starting to tell.

 

[Nellies left peg]

I stopped reading as soon as I got to Stones..

Not being funny but as the best coach in the world its his fucking job to replace aging players with suitable replacements. He's paid well enough to do it

For what it’s worth my sister dated Mendy briefly last year - she agrees he’s a shit LB but said he was a decent fuck

My sympathy to your sister. He has enough time to practice cos he obviously doesn't practice defending

When was the last time someone put 5 past us at home? No excuse. We have gone to rat shit and are a million miles away from the side we were. No pace no power no grit.
