Leicester City (H) Post Match Thread

[markstephenhickey]

Our style of play is so stagnant at the minute and I don’t know why Pep doesn’t change some things. When he first arrived he realised it wasn’t working and set out to change some things and he did well but since then its same old same old and we’re too predictable

Football evolves quickly, the better sides who have good counter attacking players are becoming more resistant to Peps football. The method of strangling a team to death through possession is becoming less effective in its consistency.

Until Pep devises a new strategy against the better teams at home where we concede the ball to lure them out we are going to see the same
type of defeats over and over this season.

Would've been some proper old fashioned blue on blue action in the stands today.

The FOCs in CBL3 would have folded their tartan throws, thrown their Bovril down their necks and thrown a few right hooks, I'm sure!

Honestly was dreaming last night about the game and in my dream we were beaten 7-2, Woke up and was thinking thank fuck it was just the 5!
Spanked by Leicester fucking City, And a pissy wet Monday morning going to work...Life is good folks!

Have a good day blues!

This is why I’m so angry because people are blaming the loss on not having a right sided centreback or players being injured but it’s the same shit thats been happening for the past year. The passing is slow and directionless and we do fuck all with it. So we’re left with 70%+ possession but whenever we lose it if’s almost guaranteed to be a goal

Did yer see the women's game beforehand? I should have known that it was a precursor for the 4pm ko. We have a style of football in the club, kids included, that fits the above exactly

I just don’t understand how Pep cannot see something is up, well I’m sure he can but why isn’t he doing anything about it. It isn’t like we have some really good and expensive players...

I often strolled up to the Etihad pre-Mancini and uttered a short silent prayer - "Please God, keep it to five!"

The number of these teams is also on the increase.

You could name 10 sides maybe more that either home and away would do to us what Leicester did yesterday.

You hope this loss will motivate Pep who no doubt is a proud man to reinvent the side for the better and much better at that.

I suspect this is his last year and like MP and Roberto before him our players might have given up on him.

Its definitely going to be his toughest season as a manager and already he has suffered his worst defeat home or away in his career and we are only two games into the season.

We stopped as if shot after 20 minutes which I haven't seen before under Pep for a long time.

If there’s a defence, as a fan I’m not up for it, it’s not even close to the football game we all know, empty stadiums, Covid 19 sweeping the nation again. Players testing positive, pep losing his mum, injuries ripping us apart, playing Garcia who has no interest in us, no pre season, the ridiculous internationals we’ve just had.
nothing is right for us at the moment and I personally knew yesterday was a tough game at the wrong stage.
it’ll improve for sure, Laporte, Dias, Ake, will sort out the back, Sergio and Jesus will sort out the front, but frankly there’s a massive negative around football and some might say, there’s more to worry about.

Right from the ko our pace was slow unlike the first half at wolves. Yes we scored but didnt really look like scoring again. Teams know to soak up our opening 20/45 minutes and start to have a go. I dont understand why we dont employ a sweeper sit deep dont give them any room to knock it over our back line. Instead we play a high line and say go on hit over us, and they do ! Yesterday 6 shots =5 goals no team in the world will win anything with states like that , and it's been happening for a good few seasons now. Just sit deeper.
Rodgers tactics weren't rocket science it's the way I would set up to play City defend deep and in numbers once City get tried or frustrated hit them with quick counter attacks. Why cant Pep see this ?

Oh well into work this morning were every non football fan will be taking the piss, they only say things when City lose big

Ps that's the first game I have watched without the xbox sound and it was horrible, it's not football, it's just bloody horrible, football needs fans. This season will turn out to be a farce
