Leicester (H) | PL | Post-Match Thread

[Blueknows]

Strange Pep made subs at halftime. I would have thought he would have left it as is for 10-15 mins push for one more and then make wholesale changes. Surprised Leicester didnt have a real go at us or maybe they did and that’s all they have now.

Ho harm done in the end other than we could have helped our goal difference out a bit more.

I.dont think gd will matter

He is not good enough scared to express himself.

He is a plodder!

You do know we play champions league on Wednesday?

And your aware we are trying to win 3 titles on the bounce.

Phillips was poor but his England appearances give a glimpse of his talent. Don't think the number of subs helped him either, bit overall definitely a poor match. I seem to recall Rodri wasn't all that impressive in his first season so could come good.

Comparing Rodri in his first season to Phillips is insulting,

Phillips shows nothing and the worry for me is his physicality, he has zero and the biggest worry, lack of enthusiasm.

After the start he has had would you not expect him to be busting his guts when he gets pitch time?

I think slotting Phillips on with the first team would be different to having him play along side Palmer and Gomez. Agree he was poor but coming on to read fans calling City players shit just isn't good. Thought he showed good physicality when he wiped out Ederson but yes he definitely needs to put in a better shift effort wise.

He looks like he is happy just to go through the motions and that's not good enough.

First half totally dominant.

Second half with one eye on Bayern away Pep made use of his Subs.

Here is the problem. It is life on Easy Street for a couple of the fringe players. No interest in putting a shift in. Just going through the motions. Dinning out on the First team performances. Cantering on to the Pitch, they struggle to even to hold on to a 3 Goal lead. On another day we could have dropped 2 points yesterday. And that is unacceptable. It is not good enough from these fringe players. Special mention for Kalvin Phillips wtf is he about.

First team were very good first half. Second half those Subs need a long look at theirs selves.

Pep, if we are still 3 goals to the good at the end of the first half on Wednesday do NOT make the same substitutions that you did on Saturday!

Thanks Jamie Redknapp I’ll be sure to pass that onto Pep.

You watch second half?

Yes I did. But that didn't impact the outcome.. The notion that Pep and the team need to create faultless performances whist simultaneously winning is beyond unreasonable and smacks of childlike entitlement...
