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

He may have set up the goal mate but otherwise he has been poor, work rate has been terrible

Well he has come into it more. That last move where we intercepted ball he was in the thick of it. I wouldn't take him off just yet.

When was the last time we saw phil get the ball and do his turn and run forwards. Euros has ruined him.

foden looks like he’s scared of making a tackle. That’s probably three or four times he’s backed off making a challenge

Same with Rico, for a defender he doesn't half stand off when he's getting run at.

some good moments for us and of course the goal but still looking g a bit wobbly at the back. Ortega has looked a bit meh so far, lucky that Vardy was offside or he might have been off and a pen conceded which would have been a ridiculous error
I thought Bernie was very good in that half, working hard.
Erling looks like he will score and if he does, could get a couple more in this match

 

[Damanino]

the workrate of Foden, KDB, Kovacic off the ball, wow.

Something isn't right with the lad currently - shadow of the player when he broke into the team and last couple of seasons.
Maybe he got away with things with Rodri in there, I hope not as I still have VERY high hopes for his career with us

Can Pep put Foden on, he should be fresh after a break of 3 months.

His drop in form makes me sad.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

A real mixed bag.

I’d like to say that some of our play has improved over recent weeks but I feel that Leicester being absolute dog, is probably making us look a bit better than we are.

I feel like I’m digging out every game these days but what the actual fuck does Bernie do? An absolute passenger every week. When he had the chance to play Savinho in and went back instead just about topped it off.

Kova has been good on the ball. I hate how easy we are to play straight through though…he has to take some of the flak for that.

Great for Savinho to get his 1st goal. A long time coming.

Next goal is huge.

 

[Brewster's millions]

Could just as easily finish 3-1 to them as us going on to win it by a couple of goals.

We haven’t got a midfield and we can’t defend to save our lives, so we’ll definitely need to score again if we’re to win it.

Better from Haaland but Foden, other than the shot for the goal, has been absolutely dire and his effort and application is fucking shocking.

Fuck me if you just read this thread you’d think we were 3 nil down!

This. Lots of positives here.
