Leicester City (H) - Post-Match Thread

Realise how good Rhodri is when he’s not playing

I sincerely hope people realise how good he is when he’s playing too as I’m not sure what else the guy has to do to be rightfully recognised as the world class player he is.

Thought Madison was very good for them - Maybe Madison > Grealish?

WTF, Ha Ha.

I don’t remember seeing this City side under Pep show such a different performance level from one half to the next. It’s almost impossible that we can be that good for the opening 45 mins and then so bad for the next 45.

The midfield and forward line were sensational for the 1st half and an utter embarrassment for the 2nd. Fern, Gundo, KDB, Bernie, Sterling and Mahrez just decided to stop playing. I don’t care how good we are, we will struggle against anyone if half of the team just decide that they can’t be arsed for 45 mins. Not overly impressed that Pep just sat there and watched it happen either.

Off day, weird game.

We scored with 2 pens and 2 set pieces.

Got lazy at half time for sure and made so many errors defensively.

Pep will give them a talk then move on, no time to dwell with another game so close.

 

[Gazza]

WTF, Ha Ha.

We'll see.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Good job their defence was worse than ours.

Not sure what Pep will make of that when he wasn’t impressed by the Newcastle game.

Brilliant first 25 mins but after that, chaotic.

Energy saving and complacency

Raz kept playing

We played some scintillating football in the first half.

Shame about the goals conceded, up until today it looked like we might break the record.

 

[bluetonium]

What a game, credit to Leicester for not folding but we have to be stronger at the back.

For me, given circumstance, another full back with pace should be on the agenda for summer too. Not to diss zinchenko, I think all the back four were great and then missing at times today, but we need some pace to cover when teams want to do that to us.

Going forward we're great, sterling the most dangerous for us which is good to see. Was speechless when they had a var check for that last goal, if they'd disallowed that for a handball or a foul then surely they'd have had to award another penalty for holding Dias (and he still shrugged two of them off and won the header!)

 

[bluealf]

Stupidly fun game of football.

If we win the title from here it'll be looked back on very fondly.

If we don't then it'll be seen as a canary in the coal mine that we ignored.

If we don't win the title it won't be because we won a game 6-3

Is he injured or ill?

 

[Agueroooo9320]

Excellent going forward first half. Bit more reserved 2nd half. Defensively not great either half. Far too easy for them to get through our supposed press and at our defence. I really much prefer when we have a central 3 of Rodri, Gundogan and Bernardo. Fernandinho looked his age and KDB doesn't offer enough defensively.

All worked in the end though and 3 points is all that matters.

this kind of game gundo should be nowhere near the game. it his because of his lack of legs in midfield that we were so open

 

[mancityvstoke]

Great 3 points

onwards and upwards...not that we can get any higher

 

[SWPISHOME]

That was a pen on Laporte before they scored their 3rd

Definitely should of been a penalty, Even at that it's about the next phase and stopping that counter attack. Numerous times today it caught us and it shouldn't happen. We'll learn from that though and we will go again.

 

[alexmcity]

On course to 100 goals in the league. And 94 pts.

The 3 goals we conceded will hopefully help us avoid complacency. And will give Leicester courage vs Liverpool.

 

[Withnail]

Good win, excellent going forward, defensively not so good. Great to see Raheem back in form and scoring regularly.


First 20 mins of the second half we were far too open and Rodders absence was notable. Anyway 6 points in front of the Dippers, let's hope Leicester can trouble them on Tuesday

 

[jollylescott]

Pure post-Xmas entertainment. Apart from that we need Walker back in the team ASAP.

 

[bluemurray]

Bet the match day thread went into total meltdown in that 2nd half!! Anyway, its never over till its over, we of all clubs would do well to remember that, and credit to Leicester for making a fight of it! Solid 3-points, improved the GD by another 3 and onward to Brentford...

Boring City in thriller shock.
You can't go to sleep in the prem boys..
Well played Nacho.
