Leicester Post Match thread.

Team picked itself.

No, it didn't. Pellegrini picked it.

There were many things he could have done differently. Playing Clichy instead of Kolarov, Sagna at CB in place of Demichelis, not shunting Delph out onto the left wing and playing Sterling pretty much up front with Aguero. His election didn't seem to take into account the opposition and their strengths.

I have recently arrived home from the game. A careless, cowardly disgrace of a performance. Embarrassing. Not sure what else to say. Going to console myself by reading my copy of Pep Confidential, which arrived today.

You're right about Sagna at centre-back. I said that before the game, but I do think that if you concede 2 goals from set-pieces and have a team badly affected by injury, you can't entirely blame the coach.

Pelli also said ' we must keep on fighting'.

Keep on fighting?

Start fighting would be more fucking like it. Fucking out classed in every way today. If I was in charge, I'd fine the lazy bastards a weeks wages. They'd be in training tomorrow at 8 am, and I'd apologise to the club for smashing up the changing room at full time.

I agree mate......I'd be embarrassed to take home a wage after what we saw today!

 

[Marvin]

adjusted that for you there :)

Mahrez is looking to be an outstanding player. Only 1 season so far, but he's Player of the season so far.

 

[Bill]

Is he a clown yet?

Awful performance but fair play to Leicester, I really believe they can go on to win it now. We need Arsenal to win next week now and do our job against Spurs.

The moment I knew the game was over was watching both sets of players come out for the second half. One set of players ambled out of the tunnel at a snails pace looking like a team of disinterested individuals that had been thrown together. The other team all ran out on to the pitch looking totally up for it, geeing each other up and ready to go from the whistle

No prizes for guessing which team was which

 

[tonea2003]

I thought Kolarov was one of our better players. The whole team played badly. Aguero and Hart did OK. Maybe Otamendi too

You are taking the piss marv
He was awful, he was that bad I thought he'd had a few pints in Mary d's before the game

I've said it time and again, you can no longer play two non defending midfielders in the modern game. Yaya is looking like an old man & Silva is a shadow of his former self at present & the hard working midfielders that West Ham, Liverpool & Leicester have brought here have run them ragged. I fear for the carling cup final if this is the same midfield that starts.
On a sidenote, was Schmeichel deliberately kicking the ball into touch today? He must have done it 7 times.

Watched it live and just tortured myself again having watched the recording, my head is honestly mashed,

MP picked the wrong fullbacks, ageing lumps or quicker ageing lumps. The rest he didn't have much choice with.

We had all the ball til the game was over, we had multiple corners without even getting a head on one,

Kolarov had a ridiculous amount of opportunity to deliver a ball ( I presume the reason he was chosen over clichy) and failed repeatedly.

Sterling looks like he's playing in a friendly, if he was a youth player coming through I'd say he wasn't gonna make it,

Yaya is a legend as is Zab, but both have aged badly and should of been released last year, it's embarassing watching their demise.

Silva is injured and it clearly shows. But the weird thing for me watching it again is we could easily have got a result, they weren't all that as I've read on this thread, they had a few further chances but we had great chances, Fernando shouldered a free header, from two yards out, silva had a great chance but shot like a girl, even Aguero late on was rash when he had time and sterling unmarked in the middle. We're currently playing constantly with ten men as yaya is so far off the game I feel for mdm and otamendi and I think their doing ok with the constant onslaught that keeps coming at them.

Kolarov was poor today .
But most of the team was today .
The only exception was Pablo .
It looked like we should have had a penalty in the first half when he was fouled .
I can't bring myself to blame Pellegrini today .
It's more down to injuries that we look crap .

 

[Blumers Bloomers]

Kolarov was bad but no need to single him out today ....plenty of competition for shittest player on the pitch

Probably a good thing Silva out next week, he's been poor for a while now....pains me to say that

 

[Cityzabba1981]

naughty

Yes I know, but it's true. He really needs to step up, but after 6 months, I haven't seen anything to get me remotely convinced, that we've bought a top player/ potential top player.

Problem is, with the players that are out injured, he'll be in against Spuds.

I predict that he'll get pushed off the ball, run into trouble, not use his pace to beat his man and either under hit or over hit simple 5/6 yard passes.

Dreadful purchase!

 

[bluethrunthru]

We are total shit.

Champions 2 out of the last 4 seasons........... currently still in 4 competitions....... enough to attract the most coveted manager in European if not world football.................. yeah right we are shit........... fucking plenty of clubs would give their eye teeth to be as shit as us

[Metalartin]

From thinking about being top of the league to worrying about slipping out of the top 4... what a shitty day this was. :(

Point is mate, look what we could of won, it could easily be champions 2 out of the last 5 seasons, if we were all that and going well, we wouldn't need pep, we are currently playing shit, this is a post match thread and as such you are reading we are shit. It's not a last five seasons thread, it's about today.
