Leicester (a) Carabao Cup QF post match thread

[Dribble]

One thing is for sure...we had our Dick Turpin mask on when negotiating Kelechi's fee! He was abysmal.

Yeh, he's gone backward since he first appeared for us. Never fulfilled his early promise, & doesn't look like he will based on that performance....

Anyone think Danilo played a lot better when Walker came on and he shifted into the middle of the back four. He has a tendency to 'switch off' when playing right full back and the opposition turn the ball over and break from deep.

That's the 2nd time I've seen Danilo play CB & he looks a better option there. He can defend & is better on the ball than Mangala.

I've defended Mangala since he came here, but at times last night, his poor footwork created panic which isn't what you want around our younger players.

I think we're missing a trick by not using Danilo as out 4th CB. Mangala looks better with better players around him who can guide him & provide him with confidence. Without that support, he doesn't have the responsibility within himself to lead himself, he clearly has to be led by better players.

Look at Mangala's performance against Spurs, he hardly put a foot wrong & bailed out Otamendi twice, as opposed to last night where at times he looked like an accident waiting to happen. It's a mentality thing.

considering we had lots of kids on the pitch and second string players i thought we played really well. great win in the end

Hell no on Tosin. Too poor on the ball. Made Mangala look like Beckenbauer at times with some of his passes.

Disagree, he by no means completed all his passing, but he was as composed as anyone in the back 4 tonight.

Really? Me and my mates were saying he looked their most lively player the first half

He was rubbish. Set our goal up with his poor touch.

It was a strong performance. Toure was getting the blame before kick off! I'm not sure why as Leicester created little and we had 60% possession. Same number of shots as them and with better finishing could easily have been 3/0 up. It was a good all round team effort.

Mangala played well but was let down by other players not showing for a pass, this left him to deal with situations himself

Did Bravo stare at Pep after he twatted the ball off Vardy and could have easily ended up in our net? Nice he is getting a little recognition for penalty saves, doesn't change the fact he is a pile of shite.

Strange comment.... maybe try a new sport Tom

For all those slagging Yaya, who happen to have a recording of the game: stop the clock at 01:08 of extra time.

Gundogan crappily gives the ball away, Leicester boot it,Danilo bizarrely heads the ball inside, to that little twat No20, Zinchenko has hopelessly lost Mahrez & he is being played onside, by our two cbs.

The next touch is a bad one, the next one would be a simple pass, most of us lot could play, to put Mahrez through 1v1 with the keeper & probably knock us out of the cup. But the oldest bloke on the pitch, sees it, takes it away & starts a City attack.

That's what he was doing all night: clearing up other people's shit.
