Are you seriously comparing a successful Chelsea 04/05 to 24/25 relegation threatened Leicester? Come on Bert that’s stretching it a bit and it was 20 years ago! Hutchinson as a winger not ahead of Ayew? McAteer? Clarke runs Mavididi close and he’s their sub. Not sure Soumare would walk into their midfield and I don’t dislike Bouba btw but he’s got some serious flaws. Cajuste and Morsy back up Phillips are no less effective and both are miles ahead of Skipp. Buonanotte may well get into the Ipswich side, but perhaps that’s more to do with the tactical nous of McKenna finding a role for a technical footballer like Facundo.
-
We attempted 2 more shots. Wow. We also gave Arsenal 35 chances compared to the 13 that Ipswich gave them tonight. It’s great being positive but let’s base that on reality and not faded memories of what was a 90 minute battering.
-
It’s not bashing. It’s honest. Ipswich are 2 points behind us but have looked better on the eye than we have this season. We haven’t put together one full 90 minutes yet. There’s no point burying our head in the sand about it. Not many of our side would get in the current Ipswich team. Mads, Vardy, Winks? Maybe Ndidi?
-
Watched the full 90 and they should’ve been 6 or 7 goals up. Hermansen was out of this world. We were awful.
-
Did you watch our game against Arsenal? Take away those two worldies from JJ the ball virtually never left the 18 yard area of our half.
-
They’ve given Arsenal a better fight than we did. We got battered.
-
Ipswich are defending well. Trying to score, breaking with pace, playing fast football, showing some aggression, showing some fight. Not showing too much respect to a big 6 team. Not giving away corners all the time. We aren’t seeing much of this from LCFC at the moment.
-
If we are being honest Ipswich look better than us don’t they?

Mads isn’t going anywhere in January ffs 😂
-
I was referring to the actual assist he got for Ayew and the one he lined up for Daka in the second half not that 1st Daka one tho I thought that one was as much about Daka not expecting a pass. Vardy would’ve made that an assist too.
-
He should’ve got two assists but Daka completely missed his kick. Certainly not the biggest problem in the squad.
-
Criminal defending for Gakpo’s game changing goal - hanging a leg and allowing him to come back on his right foot. Gakpo was only ever going to come back inside. His performance in the rest of the game was irrelevant after such lazy bit of defending.

Liverpool 3-1 LCFC, post match thread
funkyrobot replied to Phil Mitchell's topic in Leicester City Forum
We didn’t press at 3-1 with 10 minutes left, we happily took a 3-1 as if a 0 points and a further -2 to our goal difference was somehow useful to our season. 🤷🏻♂️ -
Came on for Winks and hid from the ball most of the time we had possession, the very opposite of what Winks does. Took up positions that meant he couldn’t be used as an outlet and when he did occasionally get a touch it was invariably a wall pass backwards or sideways to a man under more pressure. Just doesn’t ever take a ball on the half turn.
-
He’s not been poor but even a poor Winks is absolutely miles ahead of Skipp.
-
Ayew flying down the wing then 😬

Tried to enter the match predictor competition on the official LCFC app to predict the score against Liverpool only to find you can’t go above 9 goals scored by a team. I wanted to go with 10-0 to the scousers but I had to settle for 9. If RVN is sticking with Wardinho then the app needs updating.
-
There were no good saves. The one Ward saves was a regulation save that would’ve been easy for a Sunday League Goalkeeper

In the first two games, RVN made key tactical changes with early subs and formation changes that earned us 4 points. Cooper just went for a like for like late substitutes to try and effect a game. The last two games have been ruined early by awful defending and a catastrophic goalkeeper. RVN though can rightly be criticised for the selection of Ward, JJ and Ayew as a winger ahead of anyone but specifically ahead of Buonanotte. The club were right to get rid of Cooper, RVN needs a transfer window to assess his ability. -
For me he’s our best footballing centre half, as slow as coady & less vocal but a better player. I was surprised that he was subbed but then when we heard from RVN that he pulled a sicky at half time and that explained it. I do wonder whether he would’ve felt unable to continue if we weren’t getting smashed and he didn’t have Ward behind him but I guess we’ll never know. Wouldn’t be surprised tho if his illness also takes him out of the Liverpool game too 🤔. Tbh I’m pretty sick of all of our defence and I guess the one thing we can look forward to next season in The Championship is seeing Ben Nelson get a season for us before he is poached by a Premier League giant like Brentford.

Skipp playing as the deepest midfielder today rather than Winks for the 1st half pretty much killed Vestergaard’s out ball. He can’t play on the half turn. £25m. Wow.
