Shame no one was running into that space there. Great ball from Kev.

That fern Chance was a big miss sadly. The game would be over if he scored.

we are looking a bit unsure how to break them down now

We haven't broken them down all game. The Mahrez goal was brilliant but it was a fluke chance from an odd headed clearance which Mahrez scores 1 in 100 attempts.

We've not really got in behind at all or carved out a decent chance. Sterling the best ones so far and that was a half chance at best.

thats where we're missing a natural striker :/

Ake looks very composed . By far he end of next week we could have one-of the best defences in Europe ha

Phil is not with us today

So far so good imo.

Our crossing does not help much, mostly 1 City player in the box possible to receive it vs 4-5 Leicester players.

Their high line defence bit of a surprise, we to punish that with some clever balls played behind instead of crossing. We are passing around bit deeper than usual due to their high line, KDB or Ferna or Rodri should do some impressive over the top/lobbed balls behind defence for Foden or Sterling making a quick and decisive run for it and score. :)

Leicester had no real danger yet, Garcia is doing well.

only 20mins gone so thought I had better hold off! Lol

Nice to be kind.

Not sure what Mendy offers, can't remember the last time someone got on the end of one of his crosses, his pass completion rate is poor, he rarely beats a man, and is non-existent defensively.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

The one time KDB manages to make his trademark run, despite their low block, our guys in the middle can’t be arsed.

These commentators really want Leicester to score!!! Load of codswallop from them.

Three reasons I dislike Leicester, Schmeichel, Rogers and Vardy! Ggrrrrr

Best use of the word codswallop in the thread so far :)

 

[damrider]

the thing about mendy is that he doesn't do anything well you wouldn't expect a 16 year old makeshift leftback you play because no one else is fit to do.
