Leicester City (H) Post Match Thread

Taking fernandinho off was a joke when Stirling, foden, rodri and mahrez stank the place out

Resting him for the cup.

Walker immense.
Bernardo immense.
Mahrez hot and cold.
Laporte immense.
Sane immense.

1 player in 5 years and millions spent you say?
Fuckin crank.

I want to know in what way is Bernardo and Sane immense? Bernardo has 1 good season in 3 years and he is hardly getting picked. The same with Sane. If he was so immense, why was he dropped? Walker is nowhere near immense. He is a reliable fullback but there is always a brainfuck with him.

So many ghost players today
Be tough to get top 4 this year

MCFC!

To say say Mendy is worse than Michael Ball says a lot.anybody considered worse than Ball should be nowhere near or squad

Surely he’s had enough chances now. His defensive abilities are non existent. He’s overrated going forward. 9 out of 10 of his crosses go nowhere near the intended target

The only positive is that he appears to have cut back the ballooning on social media.. but concentrating more on his game hasn’t improved it.. in fact it’s got worse

I’d agree and say he’s gotten worse, he’s not pushed on he’s just got comfortable and very complacent. He doesn’t look like an elite athlete, he’s looks like a giddy lad who can’t wait for the pints after the game.

This Diaz fella is coming at the right time then. All the reports state he's an out and out leader and he looks pretty decent from his highlights. Can only be a plus.

Let’s hope he’s capable of being a bit of a nasty bastard When needed cos we’re soft as shite right now.

Some would call us bitter. Or even berties.

Some can call us what they want and that won’t change, the lads can come out and give certain answers but we need to be learning from this. This style of play was evident every 4 games last season. We had a wobble Christmas time the season before. The writing has been on the wall for some time, we’re not learning the lessons and addressing the problems. For 30 mins today we were in complete control, then all of a sudden took our foot off the gas instead of going on to smother Leicester. We took of Ferni, maybe he’s only capable of x amount of mins right now, so I’m not critiquing Pep here for the change. But it allowed them to grow into the game, 3 poor defensive errors handed them the win.

 

[ChicagoBlue]

Maybe we should teach some of the “tackling,” because those were three of the softest, stupidest penalties I’ve seen in a good long while!

That result has put the cat amongst the pigeons for the big Pep vs Bielsa match up on the horizon!

How many years in and STILL no Plan B? Unless, of course, Plan B is put a big 17 yr old and then don’t cross the ball to him?!

Next week, we should play Sterling! I hear he’s world class!

 

[Ancoats blue]

Anyone think Leicester and Everton could be our rivals this season? I think it's possible.

There's probably more chance of me goosing Holly Willoughby than Everton turning out to be title contenders!

As I see Leicester’s goals
1 - Walker mistake by touching Vardy
2 - Mendy caught out of position
3 - Garcia mistake by touching Vardy
4 - Garcia mistake not closing down Maddison
5 - Mendy mistake by touching Maddison

1 Walker does this now and again but comes back stronger
2 Garcia wants out ... so fuck off
3 Mendy is just shit

Kyle does have a wobble in him every now and then. But he generally does come back stronger, he’s stopped giving the ball away so much trying to break down the right, and his recovery pace is incredible, his physically is something that if the rest to try match, we’d instantly be harder to get at. Many give hi, a hard time but he’s often our most consistent defender, some would say it would take much right now but he’s also involved making runs and occupying opposition in most of our attacks too. I think he’s a beast. Today he was with one eye on the right sided player while vary come acreoss him. Was just bad luck, I thought Garcia should be shuffling over to provide support for that one. Garcia was gash today, let him go now as he clearly doesn’t want to be here
