Leicester Post Match thread.

[manimanc]

I'm finding it hard to get annoyed but I think I've been sucked into the Leicester fairytale. They was amazing. Their tempo. Solid as fuck. Picked us off at will. If pep seen today's match he'd be thinking what the fuck have I done. It's clear as day we need major surgery, a full mot is required, we look jaded and it's only February. But fair fuck's to Leicester, the longer it goes on the more you want them to go all the way. Ranieri got laughed at by everybody when he got appointed but who's laughing now. I hope Leicester do it, goes to show you that you don't need to spend 250m to be at the top. As it stands the rags are 13pts behind the foxes......every cloud has a silver lining an all that.

was like a Fifa16 game today. 1 kid playing as Leicester and City being the horrendous Computer players that cant and dont know how to play football.

think anyone who has a clue about football know that Leicester are counter attacking team away from home, yet we play into their hands by parking our defensive line on the half way line so they have the freedom of our half to break into.

The simplest way to move a parked bus is to drop back, let them come out and open enough room to play. But we dont do that, we just press and press and try and force pur way in and they just counter.

At least under Mancini when teams did that, we had the quickness of movement and passing and precision to cut the bus apart. now we dont.

And why we cant defend has to be squarely pointed at Pellegrini, he simply doesn't know how to.

Up until now I've regarded Pellegrini as a bang average manager who has failed to get the best out of his players and has took us backwards in the three years he's been here.

I was wrong.

He's actually completely fucking useless and will be remembered as our worst manager since Stuart Pearce.

Actually I think that's harsh on Pearce, he kept us up in the Premier League despite having no money to spend on players.

Pellegrini is easily the worst manager we've had since the Sheikh took over, even clueless had some merits about him, this guy has none.

On the plus side Celina looked pretty good when he came on. Would like to see him, Roberts, Garcia, Iheanacho and Roberts get to play in the F.A cup at least.

Tbf it's easier said than done. Everyone knew they would sit back defend and counter attack did they not? They're very good at it though, their defence is rock solid very impressed with all their defenders tbh.

Makes it easier when you have a bank of midfielders in front of you as well.

We were so slow it was shocking.

he only got this season because pep agreed last summer already.... quite ironic that his successor kept him in a job for extra year. otherwise im pretty sure he would have been sacked. Khaldoon looked like he was about to kill someone in end of season interview.

I agree but it might have done more half than good long term. This squad is so far from being a pep squad, there's an embarrassing lack of technical ability for such a "top squad".

 

[callumcity]

Try not to get too carried away after a defeat but that was just shocking.

Can't really understand where the logic came from to start Yaya, kolorov and Demichelis. Quite obvious we couldn't play how we usually do against a team designed to capitalise on a playing style such as ours.

Yaya and Kolrov have to go really don't they. Both just not fit or fast enough to play the way they want and warrant a place in the starting 11. Would have started Sagna at CB, or one of the youngsters, needed pace at the back that much was obvious.

Anyone who was wondering why Pellegrinis being replaced (can't imagine there's many) will now undertand after that sorry performance.

I'd put him on a par with Pearce.

Bitterly disappointed with the result today, the team let us down big time today, this should have been treated like a derby - a must win game and a lot of lack luster performances this season would have been forgiven.

I'm still not sure what happened, were they just not trying hard enough or was it one of those days where nothing was going right and they started feeling sorry for themselves?

I still can't believe it.... We got beat 3-1 at home to Leicester???
