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

[CC1]

All in all I enjoyed the game. It was great to be back watching in a crowd of singing fans.

Bearing in mind that Leicester played their strongest team & had first team squad players on the bench too, we did really well with a very weak team. Gave the academy players a proper run out in a widely broadcasted game (as many fans have been demanding) and we held out until an 89th minute pen. We could have won if we’d taken our chances. Kids got better in second half so - things are looking good.

Back home from the game and time to reflect.

The kids did well, would like to see them used in the Cups and as subs...more to come from them.

Ake, Mendy and Rodri simply not good enough I'm afraid,

Grealish is going to be some player for us.

Buy a striker Pep FFS !!!

Of all the quick players of the last 30 years, why would anyone mention someone waiting trial for beating a woman?

Think they call it the Raggy factor

a very good summary

Taking kids to an away day is most certainly a no no.

it should come with a warning

We used to go by ourselves.
How brave were we?!

Over many years, I’ve learned that pre-season performances give absolutely no guide to the subsequent season.

Grealish will get booed at the majority of grounds this season. Why? Jealousy, pure and simple. If he cost £20m and wasn't a significant signing, he wouldn't get booed. He didn't though, he cost £100m, is the new poster boy, a signing with as much publicity seen in recent times. With that comes jealousy and that is projected by way of booing.

Grealish will fucking love it.

 

[Grassland Blue]

Pep spent £50m on Mendy for a reason. Sometimes signings don't work out the way you'd hoped.

Not to mention Bravo...

As predicted plenty of doom and gloomers delighted with yesterday’s result.
Given the fact we were missing Ederson, Walker, Stones, Zinchenko, Sterling, KDB, Foden, Jesus and that Rodri and Grealish are clearly not yet fit I thought we actually did pretty well.
That was a B team against a full strength (Fofana except) foxes team who will most definitely be challenging for Champions league places this season.
Give your head a wobble you lot!
With the addition of Kane we are going to be phenomenal this season.

That looked like the B team playing a preseason game ffs, heads should roll.

Too subtle, mate ;)
