Leicester Post Match thread.

Demi, Kolorov, Yaya were disgraceful yesterday. Zab and silva were shocking - they were trying but just both had an awful game. In fact I would say only Aguero, Hart, Celina and Nacho can hold their heads up.

Bollocks to the injurys, that's why you have a squad, were a squad full of shithouses who lack desire and commitment with a few exceptions. Harsh but true, plain and simple. Roll on the summer, big clear out required imo

Correct. We will have one hell of a job shifting them you know. They are on the wages of their life they have no pride they will be running the contracts down, nobody would pay even half of the wages for the shit we need to move on.

Do you like anything about our club or players? everything you post is scathing

 

[BlueAnorak]

Yes we have bigger problems than Hart. He does OK but is no where near the best in the league Butland, De Gea, Schmeichel , Cech and LLoris all better that's just off the top of my head. He does not catch a cross, parries the ball directly in front of him often and cannot kick. Also seems to not pick up long range shots in open play for some reason and has lapses in concentration. Great on one on ones though and does some great saves for the camera.

Butland? Schmichel? Not quite sure why you hate Hart so much but your talking complete and utter rubbish. Hart is as good as Lloris and Cech. Only De Gea has a slight edge. Possibly Forster. No other keeper is exposed by the suicidal defensive schemes that our manager employs. 4 one on one saves yesterday. 7 against Liverpool in November. There is only two reasons we are anywhere near a chance of the title and they are Joe and Sergio.

this team was no desire to even play...especially yaya is just soo lazy and just wants to collect his check

 

[Paul_Powers_Tash]

Heard this down the years but would highly doubt it?

Simply put, he used to be one of our best players but we have had a manager in charge these last couple of years who fails to recognise or address the elephant in the room, that he's not up to it.

IMO, Yaya's ego is such, he has no challengers to his authority in the dressing room.

We have a bunch of nice guys who haven't got the bollocks to stand up to Yaya and tell him how it is.

I remember Milner getting on his case after one game and Yaya went down the tunnel at half time practically trying to bully Jimmy for having the temerity to question him.

It's days like this I wish for a Craig Bellamy...

I believe Yaya and Kompany have had to be separated in the dressing room on several occasions.

 

[Luck95]

Still pissed off at our 'performance' yesterday, it was utterly pathetic.

 

[WEMBLEY76]

There was no desire or hunger from City,Leicester were closing us down in packs and we kept giving the ball away all game.Our first touch was shocking so many times,it was embarrassing.there was no leadership on the field and Leicester picked us off with ease.Very impressed with their work rate and team effort,it showed us up for what we are,a team of individuals on ocassions.Almost knew they would score from the free kick,even after 2 minutes they had imposed themselves on the game,with their speed,running off the ball and confidence from being league leaders.Pretty sure the third goal wasn't a corner as it came off their player,however Huth had more competition from his own centre half Morgan for the header than any of our players.
Not sure why the general malaise throughout the team,Silva just couldn't get anything going and ended up losing possession in second half,Yaya epitomises what is wrong with his slow style and is living off his reputation and needs to start more games on the bench.Aguero still looks like he is carrying a knock but is getting sharper,less said about Kolarov the better,his crossing was abysmal.Sterling looks short of confidence to be more direct and take players on,Otamendi needs to be coached to stay on his feet,Mahrez skipped over his floor challenge with ease and have seen milk turn quicker than Demichelis.Zabaleta is probably past his best,we missed Navas yesterday.Pep certainly has his work cut out in developing a team spirit with the group of players,and will need to identify the bad eggs in the squad.Spurs will hammer us if we play like this on Sunday,such is the strange nature of this team and the season overall we could beat them on the day,if we show more desire for the ball and be more constructive with it.Delph ought to have played centrally and Fernando in there for extra cover.Getting Kompany back and a few others will boost morale towards the business end of the season.Hope yesterday was as bad as it gets now and the team can go on a winning run to improve confidence going into the League cup final and beyond.i saw a stat that Leicester ran approx 3 miles more than City did over the whole game,what worried me was their players looked much fitter as well,which is understandable given the number of games they have played.Still wouldn't say the league title is over by any means,we always make it harder than it can be and Leicester can be overtook with a huge improvement in form,tempo and starting to stamp some authority on games,which will increase confidence to build a winning run.

 

[Cheadle Blue]

I feel let down by the players. It's so frustrating after watching absolute shit for years over at Maine road, when we finally win the lottery, and there's still a fucking problem. I hate the typical city phrase, but it still feels like it.

Leicester did everything as a team , and we can't play against teams that are like flies round shite

Most of my neighbours cats have sore arses after watching that shite.

The biggest thing the team has missed this season is leadership. This manager is clearly not a leader. He's an apparently "charming" company man.

Kompany is clearly the leader of the squad. He even used to set up meetings with the other defenders to prepare specifically for opponents because the manager is either unwilling or unable to do so.

The attitude of the team when Yaya is the captain often reflects his own attitude this season. Complacent and uninterested.

We miss Kompany's technical qualities, but not nearly as much as we miss his leadership, drive and influence.

 

[Walking on the blue moon]

Agree with you to a point but I think Pelle is an easy scapegoat. Ok he is not criticism free fair enough but without your top players and other important injuries your options become very limited when fighting on 4 fronts. and expecting the same 13/14 players to do the business week in week out. It aint gonna happen. Would be interested to see how Pep would cope with the same problem.

See Bayern last year.;) They were down to 11 players at one point.

Because Yaya is supposedly leaving then give the armband to Zabba - at least he really cares!

 

[stonie]

Don't need to add much to what has already been covered, could be a pretty embarrassing end for pellers reign, need to win the league cup at the very least and with the amount of injuries and our current form I would take 4th place and a cup win right now

There is no reason that Vinnie couldnt be doing that coaching role even though he is injured. He clearly needs to speak to Oto to try and smooth out some of the basic flaws.

I thought Leicester were excellent. We weren't exactly sparkling, but they were so well set up to exploit our weaknesses and defend brilliantly that I think we might well have lost at our best.

Leicester are by far and away the best team in the league this season and by now it's only ignorance or arrogance that can blind someone to that.

I don't agree, yes they were good we were very poor. This is where decisions such as Sterling's penalty v Everton and the blatant one on Aguero away at Leicester costs you.

 

[GazM]

Not sure what more I can add. It’s all been said. Can we express this dissatisfaction to the team (mgmt. & players).
I expect our season to unravel in spectacular fashion now.
Dreading Spurs next weekend.
Dreading Capital One Cup.
We still have to play Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal in the league – we won’t win any of those.
Leicester will win the league after having spent a token amount on players.
I started thinking around Xmas that if we had Mancini back for the remainder of the season we would win the league – I still believe that to Be the case. I’m certain Mourinho / Benitez or anybody who gives a sh*t about tactics could also do a job. The players form indicates a general malaise that is hard to stomach. Where is the fight ?
