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

[Bluesince88]

Actually fielded a stronger team than I thought. Kids looked abit out of depth and first half some senior players weren’t great. Mahrez flagged very early, that chance being the best example.

They were full strength after a full pre season so was always going to be a bit sharper. Just a shit way to lose.

Nice to see some of the kids getting a run out today, but by god, thank god Ake is nowhere near our starting XI for the season

Ake had a decent game. That was fucking rodris fault

Grealish looked great. Whenever he got the ball you could smell the fear in the Leicester back line.

He will get doubled and tripled up on which should create a lot of space for others

100m me ass. :-)

You're a bloody expensive hooker

This is the reality, clearly there was no penalty, but because it was us, it wasn’t even challenged by VAR. I wish there was a re-run where Leicester were in that situation against the Scum, or the Dippers, or the Chavs. We have to get Messi, God and the Pope, never mind Kane, to have any chance of fair play next season.

Was the 4 mins injury time decided before Iheanacho did his James Brown impersonation of flopping to his knees every 30 seconds during his goal celebration.
He seemed to do about 6 celebrations in 1 there making sure every camera angle had him covered

This is our team that wasn’t here/couldn’t start, because they were competing at the final stages of international competitions until a couple of weeks or so ago:

Ederson
Walker Stones Laporte Zin
Rodri*
KDB Foden
Sterling Jesus Grealish*

Ok, a couple of these came on*, but I think when it matters, we’ll be the ones celebrating.

I really hope Laporte stays!

Small margins. one mistake by Rodri/Ake. we lacked cohesion and fitness so it’s difficult to criticise. Pleased for Ian, showed humility when he scored. Sorry for Ake as he defended well other than the challenge.
the only thing I was disappointed about was Mahrez in the last 15 minutes. Decided he had worked hard enough and downed tools.

Mahrez was fucked and needed subbing

Leicester are so fucling small time
World cup win v City reserves
Most of their fans more interested in the Lions match

 

[Eccles Blue]

The Boys in Blue didn’t give in, they fought to the end. It’s only the first game of the season and we haven’t got John Boy or Kyle back yet! ;-)

I thought we did ok in the second half but I hope that Grealish realises that he can’t go down for fouls this season he won’t get them! He’s going to need to practice getting out of the way or jumping over the opposition player’s feet! ;-)
