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

[ScottSinclair]

We let them have all the ball and press us high and still dont go direct towards Haaland

 

[red 2 hats]

City fans in great voice

 

[King Jay]

Mavididi with some Grealish type action.

 

[Keeper!]

Next goal wins the game

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Got away with one there. Dangerous cross. We’re giving them way too much time to pick their passes all over the pitch.

 

[deano ou812]

KdB did dive there but I hope to hear the same language from that **** Neville when a Rag does it.

No chance he’d try and find any excuse to say whoever hadn’t dived,like he was right to go down he maybe felt slight contact..

 

[stan bowles]

You can’t convince me any of these kids on the bench won’t be better than Kovacic

Ok fair enough. We won't try then.

 

[daztrueblue91]

Good chance for Leicester that. Got to look at where it stemmed from though.

Gvardiol with a great long diagonal pass to Foden. He has the full back in a 1-on-1 with space to run into. Instead he passes backwards and Leicester gain possession. Totally reminiscent of Grealish in the Derby before their late winner.

 

[wolviedinho]

No challenges is completely unacceptable

 

[RayCTID]

I expect Van Nistelhorse will be angry about the 'dive'

He would be braying.

 

[Bluemoonie92]

Couple of quick passes and they are through on goal, this is insane

 

[BlueMonkey79]

Lewis shouldn't be anywhere near the pitch, never mind this midfield.

 

[youngbob]

If we can't press with this team then why are we bothering?

 

[Tbilisi]

I have premier sports on mine

Lucky you, must be awful if worse than the uber biased Ratboy

 

[vmsuhail]

You can’t convince me any of these kids on the bench won’t be better than Kovacic

You mean they'll shine playing alongside Rico Lewis and KDB/Gundogan ?

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Fortunate there.

 

[theres only one carlito]

No pressure on the ball at all, really worrying

Gaps between the lines and players are far too big. Asking players to cover far to much ground to recover

 

[jimharri]

Strange that the 3pm blackout doesn't apply today.



And yes; I know we kicked off at 2:30, thanks.

 

[ManCitizens.]

Oh this press is abysmal. We weren't close to taking the ball off them and they generated a great cross.

It’s not just him but Savio really winds me up when he presses as it’s half arsed with no attempt to actually win the ball back. Just jogs towards the man to make it look like he’s trying but in reality he has zero chance of ever winning it back.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Enjoy the game, Blues, I’m off. The negativity on here is fucking abysmal.
