Leicester (H) Post Match Thread.

Ok, So it's from the BBC but encouraging words from Pep about VK.

"We are going to take a beer together and decide what is best, especially for the club," he said.

"He is an incredible human being and he helps me a lot. I always said I could not use him a lot, but this club is what it is because of people like Vincent.

"When he is fit he is an incredible centre-back. He is a real defender, he is a leader many times."

Perhaps I'm reading between the lines but seems like VK is being lined up for a backroom role.

but in a post match interview i saw vinny says he still has more football in him for sure. I hope it's at least one more year with us.

Agreed. To me they parked the bus and did their best to frustrate us, but equally when they did have the ball they passed it around and got up the pitch pretty well. Brendan's got a good team on his hands.

They completed 32 passes out of 55 in their final third so hardly got up the pitch well. Most of their possession was the keeper passing it the Maguire who said I don’t want have it back and pass it to Jonny who said I don’t want it pass to Harry.
 
So, I watched the recording of the game yesterday evening and without the nerve shredding tension really enjoyed it. First up, I thought Leicester were the best team I have seen play us at the Etihad this season. They had quality throughout their team and were very well set up and organised. I think they will challenge top 4 next season if they keep that squad and maybe strengthen CB position in the close season (JFE). If I had a criticism, I don’t think they were ambitious enough. Much as I dislike Brenda, he has done some job on them. That we dominated the game without being at our best was extremely impressive albeit it took a worldly from Captain Fantastic to break the deadlock. Kyle, Laporte, Vinnie, Gundo, Bernie and Kun were standout and Phil will learn loads from that game. I wish Pep would ease up on Leroy a bit. Maybe it’s an arm round the shoulder he needs not a full on evecerate I felt sorry for Kelechi with the world claiming he missed a sitter. It really wasn’t. The ball arrived behind him, eddie’s Positioning was perfect in that he covered the natural left foot shot which was what Kelechi performed. Even if he had put that on target, to Eddies left (from KI’s perspective), Eddie had it covered. To score that chance, KI would need to have manufactured a shot to Eddies right where the goal was far more exposed. Not easy at speed and taking one touch.

Anyhow, a fantastic game and one filed under iconic in my memory bank.

I do wonder if Rodgers could be considered a potential future replacement when the time comes for Pep to move on.
