Leicester City (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

Is Khusanov injured, and if he is, does that make all the praise pep got for the substitution at Bournemouth, null and void?

We still are probably sixth (as newcastle and chelsea has played one game less). We have to go on a winning run to stay in top 4. Aston villa and brighton are in a mix as well.
We have to be serious now.

Totally agree with you ..... we cannot think losses or draws anymore, only wins are gonna make a difference now ..... if we fail in our quest for a Champions League place, it's because WE didn't show ENOUGH desire to truly want it!

Glad we won, but
Just after reading the room, If there is something to moan about, is that fucking referee, what's his name Darren Bent, Bent England?

Fucking awful officiating. Even the ESPN argies were outraged of 2 penalties not given:
- Doku was kicked a metre from their goal, and
- Savinho was almost stripped off his garments, lad's knickers were exposed for all to see, except that England ****, and that lovely blind lass with a yelow flag.

Fuck PiGmol.
Fuck England [*]


[*] I like the sound of it.

If that wasn't cheating by the referee, I don't know what is.

Jesus christ thought I was miserable. Comfortable 3 points and clean sheet 3 days after a really tough away game without expending a lot of energy ahead of the derby. Job done. Good to see Bobb back , O'Reilly looks a revelation and Jack was very good in the 10.

Sets us up to actually win three games in a row if we beat the rags on Sunday, we haven’t had a winning streak of three games since October so it’s a small step in the right direction if we do. The bench looks a lot deeper at the moment with the subs made even with the injuries we have which is another plus point.

Need to build on the good second half at Bournemouth and the good first half here for the final couple of months of the season.
 
very one sided. Job done. I thought the performance was ok, i was actually more pleased by the better looking press than we have seen this season, but everything is slightly tempered by a very poor Leicester. Not to worry, we won in 2nd gear. O'Reilly looked very comfortable and 7/10s across the board really.
 
We got the job done against a Leicester side almost totally committed to defence, especially in the second half where they defended like their lives depended on it. It killed the game as a spectacle but 3pts banked and let’s go for the rags on Sunday.

I know everyone will look at Leicester and blame them for being defensive. It does highlight our shortcomings though in breaking teams down. 5 shots on target, at home against the second worst defence in the league, after scoring early too. A win is a win and all we need is 3 points at the minute so we take it and move on. There wasn't much in that performance that fills me with hope that a winning run until the end of the season is doable. I hope I am wrong
 
Great start .
Deserved and did win comfortably ok wasnt electric but a clean sheet youth on the pitch controled the game .....and most importantly no fooking injuries.
Im reasonably happy got home quickly aswell 12.30 in the door .
Weve had some awful results this season but after Sunday green shoots showing.
We go again on Sunday

Not much to say I guess. Pretty professional performance against one of the worst teams in premier League history. Job done onto the next.

I must be in the minority as I find them both an exciting watch. Then again I was bought up on wingers with buzzer, tueart and barnes. True their end product needs a lot of work but I get a bit tired watching backwards and sideways ad infinitum.

Savinho was my MoM. It's gone to Grealish but Doku and Savinho are direct attackers. The assist from Savinho for Grealish was excellent. He was also very unlucky not to score. I do agree that Doku and Savinho both have to add goals to their game.

I didn't enjoy the side to side passing especially in the 2nd half. The only excitement was when Savinho and Doku got the ball but they have to beat the entire defence on their own to score. There was some excitement in the crowd when Bobb came on. Had we scored earlier, he could have got more minutes. I think City just wanted to make a professional performance and win the game given the number of times we have thrown away leads in a game
 
It was a curate's egg of a per. formance. On the plus, Jack was good in the middle, another fine performance from Nico O'Reilly, I thought that Marmoush worked very hard, Gundo played well. MacAtee looked good when he came on and Oscar back.
On the other hand, with a team that really hasn't played together that much it was all a bit disjointed. The two wingers are incredibly frustrating. So much talent in there but very little footballing brain. The other Nico definitely needs time and games. Nunes has too many brainfarts and will someone teach him about the timing of jumping for an arial challenge. He is invariably far too late or more commonly too early.

MacAtee and O'Reilly are (after Kevin) the most creative midfielders we have and need more game time.

Against United

Ederson
O'Reilly
Guardiol
Dias
Khusanov
Nico
Gundo
Jack
Marmoush
Kev
Bernie

It's strange when they look so good shooting from range in the pre match warm up

There's no-one in the way.

The awful feeling I had was that if somehow it was 0-0 at half time the second half wouldn't have been much different.

Well it could be a lot more if people complained at 5 shots on target, at home against the second worst defence in the league. It was a boring game, with little action and thankfully our multimillion pound side got the three points. Do you want pages of delusion claiming we are back?

I never get the level of moaning. Enjoy the night out, meet with friends, get behind the team have a couple of beers, talk shite, have a laugh, watch the football. Even better, we won. Your life will be so much better.

It's called having standards mate. Some blues are just happy to be here and still have a 90s mentality. That is fine and admirable. Others, who was there in the 90s too are wondering how still with a wealth of talent on the pitch, with the best manager in the game leading them can, churn out boring tedious displays. We are all happy with a win of course, I said before we take it and we move on. Doesn't fill you with hope long term though does it.
