Leicester (N) - Community Shield | Post-Match Thread

[lust overlord]

State of some of these comments...think I’ll give the match day threads a wide berth this season.

Oh I don't know ;)
Some of the more stupid comments cheer me up when the game isn't great.

There are however more than the odd silly sod getting their knickers in a twist because,our mostly half fit reserve team lost to a silly penalty against a decent first team outfit.

Usual huge over reaction on here. Look at the 2 teams Leicester were at full strength as far as they could be.

City looked leggy which is to be expected given the same players are the only ones to play in pre-seaon. Leicester have had next to no players playing in summer tournaments and would have benefitted from more build up conditioning.

In spite of that we still controlled most of the game and would have won with that extra sharpness this game will give us

Pep unlike posters on here can see the bigger picture of the benefit of not rushing back many of our players.

It will be a tricky start to the season but we will benefit from the strategy as we did last season in the long run

Need to be on it next week from the get go. Simply not acceptable to not play our strongest 11 whether players are unhappy or not. Pep needs to manage it.

It's going to take a few weeks for sure and then the internationals start...

Although I don't agree with a lot of the critism, it is a debate forum though not an echo chamber.

Well said. We take the piss out of Liverpool fans but this place is like a cult at times

I actually don’t think it was.

Hmm,triple attempt now then.

If we don’t get Kane, we need someone who knows where the goal is. That said, there was a lot on encouraging play today, but we need to find the net!

We need to sign Kane. We always create chances. We don’t score enough of them.

Fucking infuriating no on comforting Ake there. That wasn't his fault. It was the suicide ball from fucking rodri who prances about the pitch blaming everyone else

He did get comforted. It was his fault, poor control, from a poor ball, slow to react. Get a grip. They're professionals. It's a pre season friendly, he'll learn from it.

He had quite a few of them comforting him after the game. He did look gutted during the presentation

A lot of cockwombles out tonight

Don’t let it grind you down

Did you watch it on telly at home ?

just coming back from Wembley we never had a shot on target as we had no striker

it’s not being a cockwomble to say it’s ok having all the midfielders you want if we don’t have anyone in the middle to put it on the bet

kasper never had a save to make

Enjoy antiques roadshow I have got a long journey home

regards

cockwomble

I thought City were fine.

Not much in it with nearly all our starters not present. Moved it around well second half.

Need a killer striker….I think City have noticed!
