Leicester City (H) Post Match Thread

It’s bad cos left back could be considered a problem area for us for much of the past 25 years. Clichy I liked, he had some good seasons, some bad, kolarov too, many on here considered LB to be a problem with those two. Stuart Pearse was past his best when here. Tarnat wasn’t bad. But do we have to go all the way back to Terry Phelan?

To say say Mendy is worse than Michael Ball says a lot.anybody considered worse than Ball should be nowhere near or squad

Worse than Bobby Ball on today's performance.

I hate to be Gundo's advocate, but how would him playing today made things worse than it was? Just give some answer based on reasoning and not because you think him not good enough.

You know how slow rodri was today - now imagine someone about 10 times slower. Is the reasoning good enough?
 
Players and pep need to stop with the excuses. Leicester had 11 behind the ball and it is unfair? Get the team set up and playing properly and it does not matter how many are behind the ball. Wingers out wide, fb coming into midfield, not crossing or passing aimlessly and getting caught out of position.He has lost his way. Man up and get back to how we set up for the previous 2 title winning years. Overcomplicating a winning system. Excuses mean jack shit. Outplayed outfought and no creativity. We have become arsenal with a soft underbelly.

Im going to get hate for saying this but we really did miss Gundogan today. We need a controller in midfield to do the David Silva job i think pep only sees Gundogan as that not phil or bernardo so peps ideal midfield is Rodri Gundogan and KDB. there you have a player to break up play , a controller who can control the tempo of play and a creator who can create chances. Lack one of those and the midfield goes to shit which we saw today

Worst post on this thread. Rodri was painfully slow today. Gundogun is even worse. Together, you'll have the tortoise and the snail
 
Players not doing enough. This might be literally the first time I've seen Pep absolutely go insane yelling at Fernandinho to the point where he subbed him off, idk what he saw was wrong with him. Walker should be reliable, but yet again, he has shown aside some decent run of form and staying injury free, he has brain farts causing us serious harm, it's like Otamendi at right back all of a sudden after having games like vs Madrid. We need Cancelo fit to have a run of games at right back instead of Walker to help him re focus and get his form back.

Enough has already been said on Mendy, we need a proper left back for this season, whoever it may be. Midfield woes can be fixed up, as long as the team actually fights and presses better, but I can understand they're low on energy and injuries do not help, especially having to do so much work to break down 10 men behind the ball.

As for Garcia, he's clearly not a solution, he's not quite at our level despite what Pep may say or what experts might see in him, he is better off going now to La Liga.

I want to know in what way is Bernardo and Sane immense? Bernardo has 1 good season in 3 years and he is hardly getting picked. The same with Sane. If he was so immense, why was he dropped? Walker is nowhere near immense. He is a reliable fullback but there is always a brainfuck with him.

Bernardos not getting picked because pep prefers to play his pets, gundogun, rodri and Mahrez. An off form Bernardo or Sane are much better than any of those.
 
I am tired of Mendy. I mean we literally could not sell him. cost us 50m pounds, cost a lot in wages too since that, was unlucky with injuries, what we could charge buyers for him?
Midtable clubs would not pay his salary. Top clubs have better/much better LB's than him some on lower salary probably than him.
We could loan him out and pay his salary for a year. then he comes back a year later and if he has a good loan season maybe we can charge 15m pounds?
If he gets injured/plays shit on loan we will keep him until end of his contract which could be not far away and release for free? what a colossal flop for 50m.

I thought Mangala will not be topped in terms of flops but poor Mendy is on his way to top it.

I dont trust Mendy playing LB, and mid table clubs target him too like a weakness. top6 clubs will do too when we face them soon. Arsenal is the next strong club we face soon, watch Arteta punish us on the left.
 
Pissing about chasing Messi hasnt helped, we have not supplied the manager with the players needed to take us forward because we dont buy from the top shelf YAYA Vinnie Sane Merlin Tevez are being replaced by inferior players The players who we have bought in the last few windows lmho havent got the class and guile we need even though they have cost big money. Also letting Pep continue with his future up in the air creates a fee ling of insecurity for the club as a whole with the defeat today feeling that we are witnessing the dying embers of Peps reign infact it was in peps first campaign that he realized he had a mountain to climb ironically at Leicester the defence went walkabout that day also but we had confidence that this was just the start so he was just seeing what needed rectifying after all this wasnt yet HIS team Yesterday might just have been a blip of course and its true to say we were without some of our best players but peps now at the crossroads Football like the world is not as it was more tellingly he has served us fantastically with total dedication giving every shred of toil and sweat he demands that off himself but we over the next few weeks will see whats left in the proverbial tank

Pep has to realise he is 35 and trying to cover a shit defence and Rodri too.
 
Nice players don’t fight when the going is tough. We have too many nice players. We won by having fighters and technical players. Fight is gone. Moan instead when the teams don’t roll over. Fern is the last to go from zaba,komps, etc. maybe bring Kante in?

He is finished. He can't defend, he can't attack or cross anymore. His pace has gone and it's painful to watch him caught in no man's land, that panicked expression on his face. Sad but for him the game is over.
