Leicester City v City post match.

[burnley blue mcfc]

We were a disgrace at the back from start to finish, im struggling to remember the last time we were 3-0 down at h/t in the prem?

In the aftermath of such a woeful team performance it seems like the refs performance has been overlooked

Thought he was almost as bad as Taylor from last week. We could quite realistically have had 4 pens

How he didn't give the one on Kelechi is just baffling

This the same ref that gave us TWO penalties against Everton which we wasted and ended up with a 1-1 draw

Ok I've calmed down a bit from last night. I don't mind the tactic of playing a high defensive line if you've got defenders who are lightning fast, so keith Curle Terry Phelan fast. if you don't have them yet at the club then surely common sense dictates you play a system that suits the abilities of what you have at your disposal. We committed football suicide yesterday with that high line against Vardy. Surely drop off and limit the space he has to run into.

Play that same tactic against Arsenal and we are in for a long day at the office.

But this is also for the players to deem when. No player seems to want to take responsibility.
Look at the times we let the ball bounce and it gets caught between two dawdling players, only for the opposition
to nick it.

Don't know if it's been discussed, but has anyone any clue why Pep took Nacho off? What was he thinking, do you think? Surely not simply to try to get control of midfield? We pretty much had all the possession we needed anyway. I didn't get it.

I totally agree with you. We are missing a proper captain on the pitch, Kompany's absence from the team is killing us.

I thought he took him off as he looked totally lost. He's going to play against Watford so he must have thought it wasn't going to be his day yesterday .

Well, just need to the Dippers to win now and the weekend couldn't have gone any worse. At this rate, we'll be fighting the Rags for 4th spot (behind Chelski, Aresenal and the Dippers).

In typical 5 Live fashion the Dippers match pre-amble is on, with the effects microphone turned up so we can all hear their shitty anthem. Don't seem to do that with any other team? Alan Greene is the commentator, so I'll be turning that off now.

 

[Atypical]

I think "We're going to concede in 20 seconds when we lose possession and they hoof a long ball up to their lone attacker who will skin our three defenders for pace then slot it in by carefully placing the ball six inches to the side of our keeper".

Ha!!!

Michael Olivers' tramlines. What a prat.
