Leicester (League Cup) - Post Match Thread.

Ran straight up to him laughing in his face.

To be fair, if I was a 'keeper and someone tried that dink down the middle I'd want to lamp them.

Usual game.
Walker,Zinchenko and Mahrez poor.
Great win though Foden again looking the part and Sergio and Kev back.

 

[CelesteItis]

We are through. Great saves by Muric, Kev & Sergio are back. Kids being blooded.
But I see the flapping brigade slagging off Sterling for his penalty miss. That's confidence to you.
Come on Raheem, do it again! today the pitch was filled with foxholes, worry not a jot; next time it'll go in.
That cünt Ward didn't make a save at all.

Mahrez was bobbins not for the first time. Aguero anonymous. Walker developed the touch of a Lukaku. All in all we were well below our level tonight but progress was still made so no need to worry. Bring on the Brewers!

7 games without a clean sheet now. Need to tighten up a bit at at the back. Probably number of games taking its toll and two more now, possibly three. Last year it didn’t matter as so far ahead. This year we will need to play the youngsters again in the semi so Burton would be nice.

Dirty sheet ? Time to tighten up the hole

Some poor performers (Walker, Otamendi, Mahrez) but it was a disjointed side.

Some good performances from the young lads. For a 17 year old, Garcia looked good. Be very interesting to see this lad develop. Diaz started excellently but faded badly with every minute and Foden was decent. Muric, Jesus and Zinchenko won us the shootout.

Kun did absolutely nothing but the minutes would have done him good. Kev looked tired second half but his goal was proper world class and same for him regarding the minutes.

How many times in those 7 have Stones and Laporte played together?

Agree with most of that, except for Diaz. I thought he was poor. Played with his head down and dribbled into trouble continually. Foden was light years ahead of him. Walker was poor too, but they were both eclipsed by Mahrez. Ponced around with his gloves on and did little but give the ball away either via sloppy passes or lightweight dribbles. Decent from Garcia, but not tested unduly. Cool by Muric in the shoot out, standing his ground and putting the pressure on the taker. Overall, decent 1st half, pretty dismal 2nd half

You’re very right on Mahrez pal. Is he any better than Roberts or his replacement at Leicester, Maddison? To think Sancho could’ve stayed and we wouldn’t have wasted £60m on him. He’s nowhere near explosive enough for a top class winger.

 

[BlueAnorak]

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.

He was better than Otamendi and that's for sure.

Sat in a bar outside the ground trying to think when we last lost on penalties, anybody know?
