Leicester City v City post match.

[TheRisingoftheNorth]

Sorry mate but Joe Pasquale would have saved at least one of them...Joe Hart would have saved at least 2 of them.
Bravo is fucking shite as a keeper but looks ok with the ball at his feet.
Willie should play from now on until we get a top class keeper.

Bravo might look OK with his feet in training but looks like a rabbit in the headlights when it counts.

Yes everyone knows!! Leicester have one style of play - they won the league doing it.

Now teams set up accordingly so they can't be caught on the break.

We set up to gift them many chances on the break with one ball over the top.

on that basis leicester wont win another league game then because its so easy. even if we had done what you suggested it doesnt guarantee anything

[Simple ="simon23, post: 9876833, member: 129"]Ok....

But we lost cause our defensive set up is shambolic and we have gone off the boil offensively as well......the refs performance has nothing to do with the shit tactics and team set up..,
If we had got the penalties and got domething from the game its just papering over the shocking style of play that is just not good enough and when ots ewually predictable how teams are going to score against us then pep isnt doing his job properly

So here goes...ill put my neck out on the line. I will.predict that against arsenal if we pmay with the same tactical approach and system....
1 we will lose
2 their goals will come from our players losing posession in the middle of the park under pressure or at the back due to trying to play out of the back with players thst cannt do it or against players that are too good to do it against
3 girroud if he plays will bully one of our fullbscks into an error or goal near a back post

Now if i can see this before the game i would prepare for it and change the set up...will.pep????????[/QUOTE]

Simple ANSWER= NO
At the moment he is acting like an arrogant fool.

 

[makinghistory]

They were fucking 17th before kick off

Vardy hadn't scored in 3 months too

Lets face we all knew he would come good against City but not a hat trick ffs.

 

[simon23]

No.. he's a ****

How many times does he need to prove how utterly wank he is

Again totally agree.....kolarov needs nevrr to.play again ever....dont care about his goal or assist as cause of him and the shambolic degending we lost 4 goals today....

He is someone i will be very very glad to see the back of. Never hatex a city player but he comes close...he is a charlatan

 

[The Riot Club]

Shite but I'm getting fucking tired of teams and players putting in their best shift of the season against us. They'll be shite again next match. Everyone wants to shine in front of Guardiola.

I think it's just because we're so easy to play against. Too many arrogant, lazy twats, and slow, shit defenders, and fucking baboon in nets.

 

[cleavers]

We made it so easy for Chelsea to score 3 last week. its the system. the system is not working, players dont get it, defenders have no idea where to be , where to move when Silva or KDB just loses possession with an easy pass being intercepted and turned instantly into a counter...

This is a very good point, and often overlooked, I've been very critical of our defending and the constant fiddling with tactics of late, and I stick by that, but these 2 need to sort their shit out also, Silva was terrible today, one of the worst performances he's put in for us imho, and KdB was little better, Gundogan much the same, today was lost because of bad defending again, but also some brainless midfield play.

 

[NorCalBlue]

..and one of those basics is to realise that passing back to the goalkeeper is usually the last option rather than the first.

Have to respectfully disagree with you there. Admittedly, if you do it badly it's likely to give away a goal (especially when every shot on target seems to go in...), but when the alternative is giving away a corner, or a throw-in, or hoofing it right back to the opposition, you'll give up a lot more chances indirectly than if you pass back to the keeper every time. The trick is not to do it blind (FFS) and not to wait 10 seconds before doing it, by which time it's your only option and a smart attacker will anticipate it.

 

[Charlesfarsbar]

If anything I felt Iheanacho needed a partner up front to take some of the defenders off him. Toure in an advanced role with Kelechi further up would have been brilliant in my opinion. That plus any setup that puts de Bruyne in his rightful place in midfield.

He's far too clever for his own good at the moment

Surely he can see the players are confused and lacking in confidence

Give them something to work with , 433 with all players in their correct positions


Bravo

Sagna ota stones kolarov
Fernando
De Bruyne gundogan
Sterling ihenacho nolito

Play that team the next three games until it clicks again

I'm not saying you're wrong. You may well be right and I probably agree with you.

But that doesn't change a thing I posted previously regarding the performance of the ref.

It doesn't seem to matter how many times I type that I don't blame our wank performance on the ref, but if the ref does his job, it's highly unlikely that we lose that game. I'm not sure why you aren't getting that.
