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

Kovacic is so lazy
When he loses the ball no urgency,
not getting back quickly
he is been poor so far.

Yeah I thought he was a defensive midfielder when we signed him and could not have been more wrong.

 

[Bluewars II]

Silva wtf? Shoot

He's lost every creative bone in his body.

 

[blueballs84]

Kova having a good game

Completely disagree.
He is one of the main reasons our midfield is getting cut up, he is constantly ahead of the ball when they transition. Every. Single. Time. And he ambles back like a tortoise.

 

[Blue Mist]

For a relegation 6 pointer it's quite a good match

 

[oldius]

Well done boys.
We are very nervous out of possession but we have the tools to win the game, for sure.
Manuel needs to be quicker with his passing out of defence.
Well done Kova.
Great finish from Sav.
Some lapses from Gvardiol and Foden need cutting out.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Meh.

The lack of fitness is frightening.

Gvardiol was a disgrace to the profession that half. Shocking performance and the body language of a 13 year old girl who’s had her phone taken off her. Got game losing fuck up written all over him.

I’d bring him off for Simpson and move Ake to LB.

Again, after what we've done over the last 7 seasons they're entitled to a season where it doesn't quite come off. However, some of them need to remember they're athletes and professional football players. The jogging around doesn't fucking cut it for me - if you lose the ball then the least you should do is sprint and either try to recover the ball or close the player down. Foden needs a rocket up his arse.

 

[BlueMonkey79]

Foden needs to sort his attitude out. Constantly sulking & not really offering much. What is up with him ?

He's a faur weather pkauer and thus season completely shows him up to be.

When we are winning and the football is flowing he thrives. When it's time to roll up the sleeves and get stuck in and fight for every ball he's nowhere near!

 

[chesterbells]

foden looks like he’s scared of making a tackle. That’s probably three or four times he’s backed off making a challenge

He got clattered earlier mate

 

[itsnevereasy]

Fuck me if you just read this thread you’d think we were 3 nil down!

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

Whoever is doing US commentating claims our fans are responsible for the drums. Say it ain’t so, someone.

Otherwise, our away support has been magnificent.

 

[mcfcpride]

Foden has been atrocious this season. Had enough rest too, so tired legs isn't an excuse

 

[Norbert D]

He doesn't look bothered.

He doesn’t give a shit. Something isnt right, child protege syndrome. Look at Rodri’s goal in Istanbul, that goal. Check out Foden, he doesn’t celebrate just jogs back to the half way line.

 

[Chak19]

This game could go either way, it really shouldn't but that's how it is with us these days, with our second half performances this season I'm worried, maybe Pep needs to use his bench for once here.

 

[King Jay]

This gotta be sarcasm?

 

[Protein Junkie]

Everything but the goal, Erl.

They were a pop duo from Hull. Ironically their biggest hit was called”Missing”.

 

[Dial M 4 Mercer]

We’ve gone from Brazil 1970 to Brazil 1974 in the space of 12 weeks.

 

[blueballs84]

Yeah I thought he was a defensive midfielder when we signed him and could not have been more wrong.

He is terrible on the transition.

 

[chris85mcfc]

Us winning is probably the only positive of that first half

Our central midfield is complete non-existent, and not only does it just get played through at will, but none of them will take the ball on the half turn, or are able to either press or pass the ball progressively.

I'd go as far as saying, that if we had Leicesters two central midfielders, we'd probably be 2 or 3 up in this game.

Less said about Lewis again the better, just hides behind the defender when we have the ball, and then when he does get it he just gives it to the first blue shirt regardless of whether its the right pass or not.

 

[Really_here]

Yes, they are poor and weve let them in a few times. We need another desperstely for their heads to drop.

They score next, we panic. We score next, they panic.

50% correct - we'll panic for sure
