Leicester City (H) - Post-Match Thread

Should Ederson work on his technique ? For the third goal and also Maddison's free kick in the first half, I think he should be getting those up and over the bar and behind for a corner.

think with the goal he was caught out by a bit of a late swerve on the ball

In a nation of underdog lovers, would you honestly expect the majority to root for you? Yesterday, when it got to 4-3, every neutral was always likely to root for Leicester.

Price of success. Embrace it, don’t look for validation from non-fans.

It wasn’t fans, though. It was the supposedly impartial national broadcaster

He did brilliantly to get anywhere near either. He was intending to do exactly what you said but easier said than done if the shot is hard enough.
Pretty ridiculous to single him out compared to the other non-performances imo

However, I find that some ex-managers do make quite good co-commentators. They tend to be less biased and offer a better insight than a lot of ex-players, most of whom don't even a grasp of the language let alone football. I always found managers such as Jimmy Armfield, David Pleat, Phil Brown and even Tony Pulis knew their stuff. As always, there are exceptions - Glen Fuddle for one.

Souness is the best TV pundit by a country mile

He got a solid hand to it but needed more immediate elevation on his deflection to get it over the bar. I thought as much at the game yesterday and watching Maddison's free kick on Sky I think he could have done the same with that too.

He needs to go over a few Trautmann videos and see how Bert used to catch them - one handed!

not many good managers do loads of tv work maybe a guest in world cups or euros
but top premier league managers nope they are always in work

I was offering a point up for discussion to see if others thought the same as I did. If you find that ridiculous then that's on you.

I think he was caught out by the pass from Kelechi and the first touch and then finish by Lookman. The first goal was much more of a case of playing it safe from Dias and almost pulling out of a challenge.

I thought Cancelo was caught on the wrong side for the second goal. He didn’t exactly race to get back and cover Dias right shoulder.
Did Laporte slip on the first ?
On the third that was millimetres from going for a corner.
If my aunties had balls etc but only my viewpoint.
Great to see Raz in the groove and could have taken home the match ball.
