Leicester (League Cup) - Post Match Thread.

[Gabriel]

We had won the league by this time last year barring a Devon loch style collapse. I think we could risk it. 3 extra games isn’t ideal when the league is so close but as fans obviously a day at Wembley and another trophy is always important. Maybe not as important to the players and Pep given the fight we have this year.

True, for the supporters it is all important, but this season is shaping up to be Neptune Colonges against Sunnyhillyboy, to keep your Grand National analogy going, and I sense we're going to need every ounce of energy for the finishing straight.

Enjoyed that.

To all the moaners why don’t you fuck off and find something else to occupy yourself with, we had a makeshift team that got through, young kids giving everything they had , I have little doubt that you all fuck off on 80/85 minutes week in and week out . Do us all a favour and find a new hobby .

Tonight yes.

Try playing Zinchenko & Garcia v Spurs & see how we get on.

We got done last week by Luiz & Everton scored with a shit header because the big guy got on Delph.

I think that's just down to our full backs not quite as good a previous ones pep's had to work with.
All of them lack some real composure at times. Otamendi didn't cover himself with glory last week,
throwing himself around slashing at the ball, trying to clear.

About 65% of every game he plays at LB!

Do you watch the games, or just look at the supposed formation and that’s it?!

Oh ffs.

No.

He moves into midfield.

Wow. I never knew.

He still has to defend af fullback.

Did you miss the bit where he was stood watching the moon as the ball sailed over his head for Leicester to score ? No ?

Then plesse don't make me out to be an idiot for mentioning thaf he's a fullback.

 

[bluesteel]

Funny how people see different things

I thought he looked totally comfortable there and hardly gave the ball away all night

Oh he didn't give the ball away, but it rarely went forward with purpose, it was like his only aim was to not lose possession. Shite floated balls when switching that got cut out. Not cut out for that at all, like I said, not his fault, he doesn't understand the role, or if he does, he's not good enough to play there offensively.

Nope. Diaz is just a kid, was a bit greedy at times, he's still learning his position.

Stones looked like a fish out of water. Because he was, great CD though and worth a look at him there, just didn't work. I'd have rather seen Gomez but it would have been too many youth players IMO.

Stones had a good game. Diaz didn’t. The end.

Nope. Diaz is just a kid, was a bit greedy at times, he's still learning his position.

Everytime I watch Diaz play it tells me he will never become top class as he doesn't release the ball when he should
You may say he's young and still learning, but this happens every time I watch him and he's not learning from his errors

We have about 65% possession in every game. In possession, he slides inside and we play with a back 2 or 3.

You can CALL him anything you want, but it doesn’t affect WHERE HE PLAYS for the majority of the games.

Tonight's game showed me that fullback is still an issue.

Walker has played far too much football but Danilo has badly struggled with injuries.

Mendy can't be relies upon at all. Delph is okay there but Zinchenko is having a torrid time there at the moment.
