Leicester (League Cup) - Post Match Thread.

The way pep kissed Garcia was bit awkward.

A little Catalan-on-Catalan affection.

Redmond can only long from a far for that sort of interaction.

is it true every time weve beaten Leicester in the cup weve won it

Nope, we didn't win the FA Cup in 89, 94, 96 or 04 (if I've got the years correct).

 

[Neville Kneville]

Exactly, it's not as if we've thrown Aguero in there at leftback, it's pretty much the only reason he's in the squad for the past 18 months. If he's in the squad to be a leftback, then you have to judge him as a leftback and in that regard he's a liability when the ball is in the air as he completely loses his bearings and has no idea where his man is

And he's slow & not usually very effective going forward.

I'm wondering how much Shultz from Hoffenheim would cost. Great going forward & managed to stop our players on several 1v1s last week.

Walker
Diaz
Otamendi
Mahrez
Zinchenko (defending)

Crap tonight

Foden
KDB

Good

The rest just meh

The young centre half Garcia not even worth a mention?

17yo and looking like he easily belonged and playing alongside 3 other defenders you ear marked as poor tonight, he was outstanding for me and very much in the mould that Pep wants a centre half.

 

[kinky's boots]

Haha. Who's laughing now you ****.

Hey, how did you manage to sneak a c bomb? Lol

 

[Withnail]

Big pats on the back to Garcia, Foden and Muric. Excellent penalty saves by Muric and this game will give him a lot of confidence.

Mahrez had a poor game and continues to frustrate and needs to up his game. Main positive to come out of the game for me is Kev gets 70 mins and scores a superb goal. Hopefully he will be fully firing when we play the Dippers

 

[cleavers]

I know full well he's a number 10 but if he played in goal, he'd still be expected to.save the ball, or not play there.

And nobody would cut him any slack whatsoever as a goalkeeper.

He's often our left back & he doesn't understand defending. It's daft.

That's not his fault, its the managers, he made one mistake tonight, and it cost a goal, but he made up for it by having huge balls to nail the 4th penalty.

He did very well considering his age yes.

Probably should get a mention, you’re right.

Nah; no tongues, so it's all good.

@Barcon has an “arrangement” with Ric.
