Leicester City (H) Post Match Thread

We should but we won't.

Perhaps the performance today will be the wake up call to those holding the purse strings, I would like to think so.

I've sort of already accepted this season is going to be a total write off. We seem to be sleepwalking into the final year of Pep's contract again and is it any wonder that half the players look lost? They have no idea what's going on.

Pep looks either depressed or disinterested (admittedly tough few months personally, like most, has to be a consideration) and he needs to get his mojo back in time for the next training session.

Hopefully he will have another CB in place by then and if we don't go for a striker in the next week, with Aguero and Jesus' injury records then we may as well kiss goodbye to even challenging for the title. One life down already, probably only got 3 or 4 to play with.

Just on today - Fern puts that header away for 2-0 and it's possibly game over. The warning signs were there from 10 mins before the first pen. We are so easy to play against with that midfield and defense it's untrue. And 3 of the back 4 giving away almost identical penalties is pathetic.

Embarrassing. Apart from some awful mistakes we seem to be sadly lacking pace, energy and skill in midfield. Some of the players coming back from injury, etc will help but we need to get the cheque book out quickly and refresh the team.
Also Rodri is not good enough or quick enough for our style of play.

We played poorly,we lacked character and fight and we showed enormous naivety for the penalties - Mendy and Walker aren't good enough IMO.

However.....we were down to bare bones,we are struggling for match fitness and new players are being introduced.The time to judge properly is when we can pick a team from our best 15.

What is clear though is that we need new blood - a striker,a CDM and two full backs minimum.The club have allowed a situation to develop where we haven't replaced our better players with a similar quality.

On a side,i also think the game is fucked......who'd be a defender these days,when all you have to do as a forward is initiate contact in the box? Add that bollocks to VAR,handball incidents and Covid......and the game is a total farce at the minute.

TV didn't question the pens but they looked questionable to me.

No Marvin, if a forward isolates a defender in the box and the defender puts both hands on him he's asking for trouble. The third was a bit soft but again Mendy let's his man get between him and the ball, any contact there and the player will go down.

Hahaha fucking hell, if you think this City team are going to stop Liverpool then your going to be so
disappointed, we wont catch Arsenal right now get real this isnt great

We have a very very bad defence our LB isn't good enough to play National League never mind put a City shirt on

We cant think if Liverpool lose tomorrow we are back far from it mate

City have had this problem for 12 months & 4 years at LB fucking simple

Yeah 4 years of shit, not winning leagues and no finals.
Stop being a fuckin drama queen

 

[Leeky]

International break can’t come soon enough, we need players back pronto

 

[Danamy]

The only positive i can from today is I didn't have to travel home after watching it. We haven't had a leader since Vinny left, hopefully Dias can settle in quick and fill the void

 

[SidJames]

Our central/defensive midfield is crap without Fernandinho.

Its as clear as day that when he's not playing our defence is completely exposed.

Best not buy one though as the money is needed to fund a 34 year old Messi next year...

Soon as Pep pulled Fernandinho,Brenda had a wry smile.

He new our defense was Dog shit and needed fernandinho to cover it, just to do the basics,

Right now It is that shit,we might as well just play with 10 outfield players,and a Fly Keeper

 

[The1nvisibleMan]

It all feels a bit Pellegrini, the same old same old.

But don’t worry about it because there’s no one better than Pep and we used to be shit
