Leicester v City post match

[mosssideblue]

Not sure if you're having a go at me or just in general, anyway to reiterate in order to fulfil that role a player has to be exceptional and they are hard enough to find as it is let alone in January. All the players have more or less said at some point that adapting to Peps style takes time. So yes summer would have been ideal but who I don't know.

Not at you specifically, a general observation

Re your first para (haven’t got the will to read a full post that long), I agree 100%, and it’s so frustrating to watch, but of course what about when we do get the first goal, as has happened? We have still in fact made that breakthrough, but then have struggled to maintain it. I know world class shots from distance can happen, but then Kevin is capable of doing that for us too.

We've not been good, but this is the same squad that got 100 points so we have the answers within us. Next time it will be KDB, or Sane that takes the back of the net off

We should always be confident when we line up and have Sane, KDB and Sterling in our side. We will turn this around.

I tell you what, watch Spurs. They are on fire at the moment. This could be their season. They are only 1 point above us, and we play them at home but I bet they believe in their side.

Well yes, the Spurs at home game will be an excellent comparison, because our home game against them last season was one on the standout matches of the season for me, and will live long on the memory for the utter dominance we showed over a team feted in the media as genuine challengers and the gap between the 2 teams was a chasm. It will be interesting to compare and contrast a season on.

Thought for the day: we’re still streets better than the rags.
We’ve also got a decent chance of beating Burton Albion — so long as they’re not Wigan in disguise.




Console yourself where and how you can…

Do you think Pep has a real plan on how to overcome redoubt? Now I think he doesn't know what players should do against a massive defence.

Poor up front and midfield, no pace from the team getting from one end of the pitch to the other. Many times we had to hold the ball up on the wings to get anyone into the box.
A lack of movement off the ball for short one touch passes. We kept long balling to the wings, and Leicester were waiting for this. We need to improve fast for any chance of any Cup this season.

Cheers mate. I think you're as completely pissed off as me at the last 2 results. The CP one was diabolical for a team like ours.

Aguero was shocking, 1/10 performance.

He had an assist so he wasnt A 1/10

We’ve been breaching massive (and massed) defences ok, the problem seems to be a) we can’t hold on to the lead, and b) we crumble and the other team grow proportionally when we do concede, and don’t have the fortitude to bounce back - although of course we would’ve at least got a point v Palace if it wasn’t for Walkers rashness

Think back to where we were, think back to Stuart Pearce managing us with his lucky toy and about 11 home goals.....so we lost a couple, big deal.
