Leicester City (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

If we could just get the defending more solid then having less of the possession probably suits us. Kev and haaland were extremely wasteful on the ball granted - but at least we looked way more of a threat and haaland was miles less isolated with spaces popping up all over.

Whether pep will be able to sacrifice possession is another thing - Rodri is probably responsible for 10% of it on his own and we dont have him this season.

I had visitors so couldn't read the Match Day thread and didn't know until at least 10 minutes after it finished so is it worth me watching MOTD2 tonight or will I just get annoyed? :-)

MOTD2 will edit their highlight(s) to make out Leicester being the dominant side.

Great result but the same issues are still glaringly there.

Positives - Savihnio played well. Bernardo did as well. Foden was at least trying to make things happen and Kovacic worked really hard (needs to just keep it simple though). Akanji was also decent. Haaland looked sharper.

Negatives the same - KDB is a hinderance defensively. he cant press from the front and cant get back so we are automatically a man down. He cant run through the middle anymore with the ball and is continually being dispossessed.
Rico as a fullback is ok (though we need better) - however in midfield he is too weak - people can point to one chipped ball over the top to help set up the haaland chance in the first half but he gets turned too easy and gives the ball away.
Gvardiols confidence has fallen off a cliff - he is playing very poorly every game

The midfield (and forward line) from a defensive perspective might as well not be there.....we cant press so why are we continuing to do so? It gets played around so easily.

Great win and really happy especially for Pep (he looked quite moved by the away fans chanting for him at the end of the game and good on Haaland sending Pep over to the fans btw)
However most other teams in the league would have got a positive result from that game today...we got a stroke of luck with the first goal and how Leicester didnt make more of their chances I just dont know - they were extremely poor upfront.

Was your visitor a certain Mr stones?
If so, stay in bed with him

I know you like Stones, but that lad is broken. Not sure we'll ever see him play a good run of games ever again. Only 30 and should have a good 3 or 4 seasons left but he's just broken too often. Shame really.

I know and hear (well read) what you are saying but being superstitious (which is bad for me really) I feel if I keep mentioning him it might help. Daft I know and also know it won't happen but that's me. Daft as a brush and twice as ugly. *lol* (my Mum used to say that to me.)

I'm old enough to be his grandmother do you mind!!!! (But thank you.) *rofl*

Foden looks mentally burnt out. Maybe he needs a proper holiday or something.

Watching it in Sly I thought we were 5-0 down at one point.
