Leicester City (A) - Post-Match Thread

Bit iffy 1st half, dominated 2nd and deserved the win. Totally fucking wank that you can barely celebrate a goal anymore.

Only heard Pep on GMR say 'he asked to be taken off' and he didn't say anything further. Would be unusual if he's asked to go off despite feeling fine and dandy but if that's what's happened cool.

Why is walker in midfield when we already have 5 midfielders on the pitch, he's far better when making overlapping runs, everything down the left or thru the middle, need a huge improvement if are to get anything on Wednesday

Him being in midfield was why we were so good.

Pep’s done to Leicester twice this season what he did to us when he was at Bayern in that 1-3 defeat in 2013. Bayern had 7 v our 4 in midfield and completely bossed the game.

Both in December and today we completely dominated the game, looking many levels a better team than Leicester despite what the league table says, because we didn’t allow them any time on the ball in midfield and we won it back and kept it easily in their half.

Only one goal wins each time but we were miles better in both games, not just as a team, but tactically too.
 
Thought we did well tonight, We dealt with the counter attacks really well. Bit passive in midfield with Rodders and Gundogan together. KDB was really good tonight dictated the game.
My man of the match was Fernandinho I thought he was outstanding.
We got lucky with the penalty not been given against us I thought it was a penalty.
No injuries tonight either which is great along with 3 points. Well done to Jesus tonight too he was terrific when he came on.

What does double 0 get you from that? [emoji51][emoji51]

Had Aguero for fgs and also fgs and City win so you can imagine we’re not speaking currently.

Like Foden mate its going to take the great man Kun finally moving on as well but he is a hell of a player.

Technical ability and a heart to match and his records at his age are unbelievable.
 
A good game, City deserved the win. We’re still not at our best, but the clean sheet is good, although Vardy should have scored. Interesting watching on Bein sports, Wenger said Kun would have been declared onside next season, with the proposed amendment. He also said Collina agrees with it. We need to look at penalties, the last 4 in the league missed; and by FOUR different takers. That is the problem.

Re the pen decisions, I think they got both right.
Kevs hands are in front of his face ( in line with his body), if they weren't there it would have hit his body.
Praetts arms were high and away from his body not in line with his silhouette. Even spitter was adamant it was a pen.
Didn't matter any way we missed it.
By far the better side deserved win.
18 shots, 7 on target, 68% posession.

It wasn’t the free kick that directly hit de Bruyne’s arms, the ball hit de Bruyne from a deflection off Laporte from a yard away from him.

Whereas that Praett’s hit his arms directly from the shot.

I think that’s where the difference was and why they ended up as different decisions.
 
Not remotely worried that we would lose that game, controlled it throughout and if Leicester weren’t hoofing it over the top they were clueless. Anyone who thought they should have a penalty is either deluded, a rag / dipper, doesn’t understand the game or a combination of the three. Deserved all three points and will take the same result and performance against Madrid
