Leicester City v City post match.

[SWP's back]

Would have thought 4 stonewall penalties would have made the narrative, oh well.

Not with the worst champions ever going 3 up after 20 mins and winning 4-2.

Just like the narrative last week wasn't Taylor fucking us over but instead conceding three second half goals and having two sent off.

 

[jaiguruKun]

This and only this. Been saying it for weeks.

Return to the team and formation that won the first 10 games of the season? It makes far too much sense.

 

[remember arthur mann]

Playing a very high line with four slow defenders who aren't commanding isn't a good idea in the Premier League, Pep.

 

[NanaToure42]

Don't see why we don't play the 4231 or 4141 we started with.

If we'd lost by a goal, or drawn that game, any one of those penalty non-decisions would have had most people on here up in arms (and rightly so). It's seems like the prevailing narrative that we were shit and Pep's too arrogant/naive (while it may be true) is blocking the reasonable assertion that with better reffing, we could actually still have won that game.

And as I've said, we were wank and Pep got it wrong.

I'm capable of holding more than one thought in my head at the same time though.

Good job - you definitely won that argument. If those two didn't mention any penalties that's obviously definitive.

 

[Shaelumstash]

I thought we were 4 at the back today. I keep reading it was a 3. Can you please tell me who our wing-backs were?

We started with 3 at the back and Zabba was playing centre midfield. We didn't have any wing backs, we had Navas and DeBruyne playing as wingers. After we went 2-0 down after 4 minutes he moved Zabba to right back, but the game was already over by then.

 

[pudge]

At least UEFA won't have to rig anything come Monday, we'll get bummed by any of the potential opponents.

 

[stan bowles]

Well I'll keep repeating it when posters erroneously represent what I'm saying as something else. If I bore you, be my guest and hit ignore and you won't have to read my posts.

First intelligent thing you've said tonight...now then, where's the ignore button ?

 

[Gray]

At the beginning of a match you should be trying to get hold of the ball and starve the opposition of possession.

Instead we go gung-ho up the pitch, lose possession and don't have the pace to get back to defend properly.

Who is responsible for this, Pep for trusting players who don't have the ability to play such a game.

Pep should swallow his pride and show some pragmatism, we have the quality going forward just show some patience.

As for the baffling goalkeeper situation, I think he has dropped a major bollock but will he admit it?
