Leicester (League Cup) - Post Match Thread.

[balotelli's back pocket]

So wait, you’re equivalencing any criticism of sterling to racist abuse?

Give it a rest, it was a fucking stupid penalty attempt at a completely unnecessary time. If De bruyne had done it he’d get pelters on here as well.

No, i'm not. I was referring to a comment saying that he doesn't help himself. Which confuses me because despite the fact that he isn't at all arrogant, and indeed is by all accounts a nice young lad, he's portrayed like that by the press, leading to the abuse by dickheads like last week. So how doesn't he help himself? Because he missed one penalty? He'snot pogba ffs. And even if he was arrogant, I take offence at things like "he doesn't help himself" because it implies that it makes him fair game.

Hope this puts to bed any ideas that Stones can become a CDM, we really are spoilt with Fernandinho will take some replacing.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

One frustrating part of the game to me was how greedy Mahrez and Diaz were at times. They struggled to look up and find any decent passes

 

[baggy]

We just completely twatted Everton a few days ago.

That scoreline didn't really reflect the chances everton could have finished imo. If we don't start killing off teams earlier on we could start to draw/lose a few games but hopefully Liverpool will be in the same situation and our experience will pull us through.

 

[aguero93:20]

Poor lad, that's probably the peak of his career right there.

 

[mccity]

One super positive element is that KDB looked really alert and mentally sharp; some of the vision was a cut above, especially for the goal. It's just a case of waiting for his legs catch up so he's at top level for 90 minutes like we know he can be.

 

[bluetonium]

We're through, kev and Sergio got game time. Diaz, foden and Garcia too. On the other hand, shouldn't have gone to penalties.

Oh, and their goalie is a major classless prick for that needless reaction to raheem's miss.

 

[Deleted member 81382]

That is what Sterling thinks of your shit career mate.

 

[City Raider]

Bellers just said we’ve got Burton lol

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Well that second half was... a task... to watch.

On to the semi finals though, Burton please.

Are you sure....

 

[urban genie]

Given, either Copenhagen or Alzmaar in that UEFA Cup run.

Correct I should have remembered

 

[hampshireblue]

We're through.

Raheem hang you're head,embarrassing.

Over reaction. Check your spelling!!

 

[Neville Kneville]

Did we? 65 minutes in it was 2-1 and they were on top. We finally killed the game off after 70 minutes, and even then they missed 2 open goals.

That's not twatting anyone.

On top ?

They scored completely out of the blue, with a fluke goal, then we scored again.

Yes 3-1 was a good old twatting. It could have course have been 8-3 if both sides had the run of thd ball in front of goal & Everton cashed in with goals at the end.

 

[Trojan1962]

Walker hasn´t been impressing lately either...

Walker has been poor of late and has been beaten for pace on a few occasions recently. Need Danilo back to give him a break

Which fucking game were you watching

 

[bobmcfc]

Not laughing anymore

 

[vin]

Just watching the replay.

I don't understand why Zinchenko isn't alert to the pass. It has nothing to do with ability, it's just a lack of his brain. He just doesn't seem to 'get' defending at all.

Cut the lad some slack tho he’s a number 10 by trade. Put David Silva at left back and believe it or not he’d also get caught out at times.

We need a fuckin left back, that’s the issue.

 

[baggy]

Glad you enjoyed it

I did actually and I appreciate we have to rotate/blood players in to the way pep demands we play but it does highlight some deficencies we still have in the squad.

Loved how foden played and the kid at the back particularly.

 

[nmc]

Not by a long way

Love Phil the Face putting his into row Z - he’s such a great guy. He never fails to entertain!
