Leicester City (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

The MEN player ratings. I don’t realise they were still a thing. Never mind anyone actually reading or paying any attention to them.
 
Comment in pub: "City edge out Leicester in relegation 6-pointer..." I was asked if we were lucky. No, just that our usual mistakes weren't punished (as usual). "That sounds like luck!"

I thought Leicester's MotM was Mavididi - I can't recall one occasion when we got the ball off him or he misplaced a pass.

Not sure who our MotM was. Not Ortega - if Vardy hadn't been offside, that could have been a red card (no attempt to play the ball). I'd actually give Rico a lot of credit for the brave forward pass to Phil for his shot - too often that's where we stop and play the safe ball back. I think Savinho for being in the right place to score (and putting it away) plus the assist for the second goal.
 
Did ok, got the 3 points. some positives, same negatives etc etc. Next.

Haaland for me. He could have had 3 goals and I liked his attitude.

We have looked like a team in the last 2 games. Big moments for me watching on TV were when Haaland scored, he turned to Savinho, and Bernardo made it very obvious how pleased he was for Mcatee. Team spirit and mentality matter a lot in football and I think that City are still fighting.

So you didnt go back and read...proves my point....I listed a number of positives...maybe take a look at yourself and your own mindset (defensive, aggressive whatever) as you clearly ignored the positives I put and would rather just have a pop at someone .....KDB was poor....he has been all season and today was no different
I also said a number of players played well but yet again you either can not read or chose to focus on the negatives which is ironic as thats what you are saying Im doing.....

Happy new year

You have definitely increased your activity on here since we turned to shit. I expect a part of you quite enjoys it.

Glad we got the three points but didn’t really see that much difference in performance from recent games other than poor quality of opposition. Even then they had some near misses which could have changed the outcome. Anyway on wards and upwards

I see what you mean and in general, performances have been poor. But the big difference today was that their first good chance wasn't scored and we had some luck
Contrast that with Feyernood for example where they scored through 3 dreadful errors, or the capitulation against the rags with a sequence of events that won't happen again to anyone for a long time.
Or Everton where we didn't get thd rub of the green (although Erling should have scored the pen).
 
The 2nd goal was timely. They were beginning to gain some momentum.

Mcatee with a superb of skill to create the move. Deserves to start in the next match as he brought energy into our game.

Kovacic did well making tackles in the middle.

Someone mentioned earlier, he’s this generations Richard Edgehill. Tries his best and that’s all you can ask. Not his fault he’s getting played way more than the manager had probably planned.

I love Rico's attitude 100% trier...no one can fault that. I do look at our development coaches though - having a lad all those years and leaving out some real fundamentals to making a genuinely consistent player in prem = to me all top players look like they coast a little - he always looks harried - it's exhausting watching him. Not really his fault as i think he should have had a lot more time spent on his ability to scan, read a flight of the ball earlier, get in a better body position to exploit opportunities etc = head up for me is the key attribute. His pass today - sooo much better - but that needs to be second nature in the premier league in all honesty. We need 100% to fill in as squad players - and this really is where Rico's ability lies not in a starting central position. Loads say im wrong - fair enough - but i blame our development staff as much as anyone. I see a bit of the lack of fundamentals in quite a few young lads here tbf..Even our Phil, get side on more than you can go forward more when its on.

Shithole of a ground to get in.Concorse and toilets shite.
Queuing system shite.
Trains late all day and the overcrowding on the 10.26 a disgrace.
Could have been a lot worse.Missed Birmingham coming back.All Manchester cancelled.

He’s had limited game time as when he has played he didn’t look good enough

Hope he has the confidence now to make us all smile as he did with that piece of skill today

It took Harry Kane a year to come good when he broke through for Spurs. IMO KDB is playing at such a low level that we have got nothing to lose but play Mcatee. Mcatee looked good for Sheff Utd at least in the opening months of the season when they weren't doomed.

This creeping Rico bashing is doing my nut in.

He’s a 19 year old kid ffs not the finished article 26 year old. He’s learning and yes he’ll make mistakes and make poor decisions at times.

Had we transfer planned properly and brought 2 CMs in he’d only be a playing here and there and being given the chance to feel his way into top level PL football.

I absolutely love his attitude and he always gives 100% and there’s not many you can say that about this season. You can see it hurts him when it doesn’t go his/our way whereas some of them don’t look one bit arsed.

It's pathetic mate! he won the Treble and 2 league titles before his 18th birthday!

When he won his first England cap, (except for City players) he had more premier league winners medals than the whole squad combined!

he was 18!

Wasn’t sold on McAtee but his move for that goal was brilliant

He didn't put a foot wrong today, and my feeling until he came on, was that we'd end up losing eventually, as they were all over us, but he changed the game, because he's not been part of this shit run, he had confidence in his ability, and took the ball to drive towards the winning goal.

Did a lot of other stuff that can be applauded, like the defensive work that Phil couldn't be arsed, or is too knackered to do.

My one and only visit was for the charity shield a couple of years ago, I was underwhelmed at how pokey and low rent it was.

Phil looks completely preoccupied with something else. Just hope he can get sorted out.
