Hoofing the ball 40 yards up field and having a rabbit run off after it does not make Ranieri a tactical genius im afraid.
We completely dominated them last night footballing wise and whilst i have respect for the job he is doing at Leicester, im not about to start taking any lessons off him as to how we as a club should be doing things.
We are a joyless viewing experience away from home in the league.
I retain faith we will to flick the switch at some point. We don't make opposition goalkeepers work hard enough.
If you want to talk about plastic, let's talk about 25,000 of those crappy clapper contraptions! Probably the most plastic thing I've seen for a long long time
The whole match panned out very much like an FA Cup tie with the plucky underdog throwing bodies in front of the ball and and earning a replay with their illustrious opponents where they get smashed but come away quids in.
Opponents view on last night - City played well, lots of effort all over the pitch, so can't fault the commitment. Great support from the away corner, which really spurred on the players.
Leicester loved your substitutions, Bony and Navas are well known as big-money under-performers and had no fear for Leicester when they were introduced. We knew the point was safe when Aguero and Silva were pulled.
Your two centre-backs played well and nullified Vardy & Mahrez, when most other teams were unable to keep them off the score sheet this year.
Otamendi? Oh dear - what an embarrassment? Huth's outstretched hand touched his shoulder and he fell to the ground like a sack of shit, rolling around holding his face. The Leicester players and a few of yours just started laughing at such a pathetic display from a professional footballer. Hope someone at your club has a word with Otamendi today. A stronger ref would have given the **** a red card.
Everyone on hear is saying "stone-wall penalty"... sorry boys, when a forward swan-dives like Aguero did, you've got no chance. Lucky not to get a yellow.
Considering everyone on here was bricking it in the days leading up to the Leicester game, a point, strong overall performance & clean sheet keeps you nicely up there.
Leicester fans are in dreamland this season, but still realistic to know we can't keep it up for an entire season with a thread-bare squad of journeymen. Based on your squad full of fantastic players like de Bruyn, Silva, Aguero, Toure & Sterling, Man City should be raising the trophy at seasons end.
Good luck lads.

Always interesting to get the opponent's view, don't think there's much in there we can't agree with.
I think wombat exagerated a little to make his point, but I agree that Otamendi should've been penalized for the dive (yellow) and that Sergio's wasn't a penalty, but not a yellow card though. Defender hits the ball before he lightly touches Agüero, who goes down way to eagerly there.disagree that Aguero should have had a yellow for being fouled. It should have been a penalty.
Also as ridiculous as Otamendi's reaction was, I've never seen a player being given a straight red card for it.
Plus Leicester still have to come to Maine Road, sorry City of Manchester, sorry Etihad or whatever stadium where we'll be favourites.Some negativity on this thread because it was "only Leicester" and no doubt some will say our team cost £300m and their cost ten bob (50p to the youngsters) , so we should win , but the fact is leicester are a very good , organised team who work their socks off and have volatile support behind them , i do not think many sides will go to Filbert Street , sorry Walkers , sorry King Power ,or whatever stadium and get a result.
