Leicester City (H) Post Match Thread

Cheers.
So did Brenda made the tactical decision to sit back during the start of the game, only to slowly love the team up the pitch and exploit our weak(er) players?

I'm asking cause I'm really interested and curious about how we somehow sometimes manage to switch from formidable to lost in just a few minutes. I don't really see such collapses from other top teams.

The moment Fernandinho was subbed.

Also, i hope Fern was injured, otherwise taking him off was a big fuck up.

He was pretty poor as well though. His passing was way off.

Not watched other than goals, how did delap do?

He was unlucky with a header but struggled to get into the game tbh. But not his fault. Zero service and we resorted to crosses into the box that rarely get beyond the front post.

It went downhill pretty quickly after that!

You don't want injuries especially with the number we have no matter he circumstances of the game.

Pep is not near his best at present and while its not an excuse outside factors are impacting on his role at the club.

The way Ferny went off at him for the sub suggests he was not injured.

Pep like the team had a shocker yesterday , worse than the Everton defeat about as bad as he managed game day and it showed.

That's when the tough get going and show character.

It won't take long to see if we have any left because the season will be over very quickly if we don't.

9 points behind Everton most likely going into the Leeds game gives you some perspective on where we are at.

Couldn’t agree more, the point I was making we weren’t up for it, but that’ll change.

Rodgers came out and said it in his on pitch post match interview. He stated they knew that they would forfeit possession but had to sit back, stay compact and the press in their own half and counter quick

Pep has to now evolve, this tactic worked wonders when he arrived as it was not seen at a level he inputted. However this league is unlike any other, the teams and managers will adapt to another teams dominant formation.

We are at the point.

The same style nay work against some of the fodder in the league still but if we are honest ecen those teams can still carve out chances against us. It is only down to a lack of qyality they fail to convert chances or build a fluid counter-attack

Unfortunately Pep has a Plan A and no other plan. This won’t change.

Manner of this defeat is worrying to say the least.
Doesn't matter how talented our squad is, but if the players heads are gone
a top 4 finish is best we can hope for.
Haven't strung 5 wins on the bounce for over 1 year now.

I know it won’t be a popular opinion on here but he doesn’t make big saves. Not saying he should save penalties but I never expect him too. The Vardy goal at the near post was just great play bu Vardy in my view.

Bravo and Hart for a number of years were better shot stoppers in truth.

Allison is a far better keeper all round.

if a quality keeper becomes available we would be wise to bring them in to put a lot of pressure on him.

I have been disappointed in his output since a promising first season.

I just think everything’s got on top of Pep and if it’s reasons outside of football which are causing him major problems like losing his Mum to covid then I think it would be wise of him to take a year or two out after this season. If he does do that though I feel like it would be better to let fans know it’s his last year so we can sorta draw a line under it and just enjoy his final year
