Match Thread | Leicester vs. Man City (29/12/24)

[MCFC1993]

Watch our DM within the first 5 seconds of us turning the ball over and you'll know why we're getting done in on every counter-attack.

Not the only fault, the defence is fragile but it's a huge problem.

 

[super_city_si]

This is bad.

 

[malg]

We drop off now like teams who used to play against us. We used to really press teams - that has gone. A lot of the reason we look vulnerable is because we don't press any more and opposition players have more time on the ball.

 

[Chak19]

All he needs to do is walk past the ref casually saying that's clear path towards goal, 3 on 3 etc etc. Let the ref know of these moments without being in his face or directly asking for bookings.

He doesn't need to say anything, the captain and other senior players can talk to the ref.

 

[King Jay]

Lewis making Vardy look fast. Fuckin hell.

He still is tho

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Fuck off Vardy, chavvy little scruff.

 

[Don Karleone]

1 pass and they're in

 

[Mattyc55]

God were shit

 

[clarion]

Same 4-1-4–1 formation.
After 10 weeks being worst team in the league, find it idiotic.

 

[ScottSinclair]

We are so shite it is unreal. The press doesnt work. Every team in the league plays straight through us. Time to change things up drastically

 

[Blu1]

Kova is the only player pressing & trying. I’m really not sure what any other player is doing. Haaland, Kev, Bernie & savi all too high up the pitch & not really moving leaving a huge gap putting pressure on Rico & defence.

I have no idea what fodens role is today

 

[give it to gordon]

Our fans in great voice

 

[Mattyc55]

staggering that bernardo keeps getting starts

 

[wolviedinho]

How easy is it to play through us?

It’s unreal

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

Our "press" these days is bloody hopeless btw.
In fact that bad we'd be better sitting in

 

[Chak19]

At least we're keeping Vardy offside, for now.

 

[vmsuhail]

I don't understand Foden's positioning. I only see KDB and Kovacic in midfield.

 

[01cravend]

This , eddie is a million times better at sweeping

Vardy personally has rounded Ederson at least 3 times in the past.. Ederson being amazing at sweeping is an absolute myth

 

[Nascent Blues]

Dick about at the back, give away a simple pass.

Same crap every week.

Simple pass from Akanji intercepted and it's like Rorke's Drift.

Yip we press on occasions which isn’t much over 90 minutes..
