Leicester City (H) Post Match Thread

It is one game.

It’s a new season.

we’ll be reet and if not, it’s not the end of the world is it.

fuckin meltdown on here is a pisser!

True mate, it won't be the end of the world, but will we be right or not?

 

[wolviedinho]

I hope you're right but if you think Dias magically solves the state of our defending, you're dreaming. Additionally, we have zero pace in midfield, Mendy is a headless chicken and we've NO senior strikers fit! Apart from that we're fine...

Apart from the injuries and mendy we have a great team.

 

[Chippy_boy]

Mahrez could do that

I was replying to your claim that Sane's pace was his only standout feature.

 

[stan bowles]

No. He is integral to Pep And still relatively young. I might sacrifice 10% of his ability with the ball at his feet with a 30% uplift in his shot saving/121 ability though;-).

if Pep leaves then that’s something else.

Thing is though teams sit so deep on us that having a ball playing goalkeeper like Ederson is now almost redundant. How often do we suck teams in any more and play through them with him involved. If teams don't press us high then his value is diminshed. Pinging balls to Sane or Sterling on the fly seems a thing of the past too.

I can’t disagree with that.

All you
Pep haters

Rodri haters

all you fuckin bandwagon media spunk bubbles, jumping on the back of a shite result like the club is destined for the uni-bond league

Do me a favour a fuck off to Twitter for a bit.

It’s one game

We lost 3 points

yes we were shit, but we go again and with a better squad.

fuckin bulbs the lot of you.

People are allowed to question the team & management.its more than one game finishing so far behind Liverpool last season,the Leon game where peps tactics didn’t help city.pep tinkers in big games.jamie Vardy said after the game there tactics were to sit back & they were to pinpoint Rodri as the weak link.they were his words.nobody hates Rodri but he isn’t quick enough in his position.this squad even with the new center half can’t compete with Liverpool.the squad has been in decline for two seasons.mendi not good enough since his serious injury
,he lacks any defensive nous & his confidence has gone.ederson isn’t a good shot stopper.he was brought in to hit long passes to the midfield or forwards but seeing as everyone sits in against us it doesn’t work.aguero injury is a serious one & he is in twilight of his career same as Laporte injury takes years to come back.this team now doesn’t press,players scared to death of serious injury due to peps playing style of pressing.this squad with a few days of transfer window will struggle for top 4 position.city need a striker a left back & a midfielder.pep said Fernandinho can no longer play every 3 days.like I said people are entitled to question the club regarding transfers & the way the squad has been allowed to dwindle over last 3 seasons.the Messi rumours didn’t help the club & have put us back in this window

 

[manimanc]

yes all he can do is trap a long ball, cut inside and take a shot. Occasionally, as it did yesterday, it might go in. Doesn't track back, cannot tackle and cannot make an obvious pass

Ready when you are for you to back this comment up with stats.

 

[cityblue123]

I know what you mean but who else was fit to play there?

I can't believe he played him either. It's obvious he wants to leave and admitted the fact. Not bacause he wants to leave, I don't rate him. Maybe in time he should improve but the one thing he lacks is pace. You got it or you haven't, he hasn't! However, In this case injuries, lack of fitness, covid gave pep few options.

 

[Brendan110_0]

Worried that if Fernandinho isn’t playing we ship in goals like no tomorrow. Unsurprisingly they targeted Rodri as the weak link, 2 mins after Fernandinho subbed we’re losing then get stuffed.

 

[ACCORD]

I kept an eye on Kyle Walker after the pen. Just sauntered around for 10-15 mins, no pressing or anything.

I would question his stamina - not saying he is unfit, just the build of him would suggest he cant do the up and down running needed it that position.

He looks brilliant sprinting forward with the ball, but how often do you see City defending a counterattack and he is 10 yards off the pace.
