Match Thread | Leicester vs. Man City (29/12/24)

[Nascent Blues]

Out late for the 2nd half again!

Yet we left the dressing room the same time as the Leicester players...

I'll take a win anyway, anyhow right now.

Yep. Just have absolutely no faith that we can stop any team scoring.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Come on City!

Maybe we should borrow some of those special drinks the dippers have to get our energy levels up?

Our players are knackered and doing their best, but we cannot afford to play kids for 5 or 6 games to give them a breather.

 

[wolviedinho]

Probably our worst performance out of possession all season. We don’t press but continue to play such a high line - can’t get my head around these tactics

We amble about the place doing neither.

Late for second half, add it to our charges

2 million pounds last season! Pointless to be late out.

 

[ThreesKompany]

The fitness level is no where near the level needed. Why don’t we work on that as a priority. Players seem to need months to gain fitness.

They're all hurt or overplayed. Can't get fitness w/o rest or health.

In 5 months time when we're 6 points above liverpool we'll look back on our small blip and how we'll laugh about it

There's optimism and then there's delirium

We're not playing well enough to carry a player who can't or won't run.

Older players adapt , he is literally the only one that can create , he has plenty of legs around him, tell them to run

I like him but he's always beyond the ball. Should be a rule that he stays behind the play at all times.

Right. He is effective for progressing the ball up the pitch. He is a great dribbler but he progresses the ball through runs rather than passing which means he can't fill Rodri's role because when he progresses the ball he leaves a huge gaping hole behind him. He needs an effective holding midfielder beside him. He doesn't work in this system unless he holds his runs and stays behind the ball which when I judge his game is his primary job.

 

[deano ou812]

Players should be busting a gut to get back out on the pitch but late again just sums everything up all very lethargic
