ImBlue Posted 14 February 2016 Share Posted 14 February 2016 i wish he stayed on his feet after beating his man... He goes on, fluffs his shot unbalanced and you call him for not going down I bet. It was a penalty. Was he impeded? Yes. Was there contact? Yes. Did he get the ball? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzy Posted 14 February 2016 Share Posted 14 February 2016 Thought Mahrez was brilliant again today - what a talent. I'm quite happy to forgive him for the odd moment of greediness or things not coming off, in exchange for the odd moment of brilliance and world class skill. We're lucky to have him. He's a match winner and probably the most gifted player I've seen in a Leicester shirt in 35 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnglishOxide Posted 14 February 2016 Share Posted 14 February 2016 We missed him as an outlet when he went off. I'm not sure what taking Mahrez off and putting Gray on was supposed to achieve. Riyad is much better at carrying the ball up the pitch as it stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grewks Posted 14 February 2016 Share Posted 14 February 2016 Gray was way out of his depth I'm afraid!! He made 1 more defensive clearance in our box than Mahrez had all game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Posted 14 February 2016 Share Posted 14 February 2016 Gray was way out of his depth I'm afraid!! why because we were going all out defence and he was able to have about 1 or 2 half chances to actually attack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babylon Posted 14 February 2016 Share Posted 14 February 2016 Gray was way out of his depth I'm afraid!!Eh... He did fine.Anyone who has seen Mahrez defend knows exactly why he got taken off. It's alright people saying he'd carry the ball upfield better, yeah he might. But he'd also defending a heck of a lot worse, and we were always going to be defending more then attacking!

Jimmy Posted 14 February 2016 Share Posted 14 February 2016 I don't think we should have subbed Shinji, could have tucked Albrighton into a 3 and kept Shinji on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScouseFox Posted 14 February 2016 Share Posted 14 February 2016 I don't think we should have subbed Shinji, could have tucked Albrighton into a 3 and kept Shinji on yep. shinji gives us 10/20 yards when we drop deep to defend. no shinji and our first line of pressing is the edge of our area. with him and it's the edge of the centre circle. same at aston villa, cost us points there too.

We'd no need to defend as we did. The set-up gave us no chance of any let-up at all. Just like the Villa game for different reasons, we tried to beg the game in the last half-hour. We didn't seem to have organised contingency plans. Player gets sent off! It's hardly a rare occurence in football. Little or nothing made sense to me about the substitutions. Which was sad because we'd played so well until then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have contingencies, but when the unexpected happens and you have to respond quickly that can throw those things up in the air... And it may have been that taking Mahrez off was the contingency. I was suprised it was him that came off, I would have gone Shinji first and see how it was for 10 minutes, but I'm not sure they liked any option they had especially as it played out, given the 2nd and 3rd subs looked a little contrived as well.

whoareyaaa Posted 14 February 2016 Share Posted 14 February 2016 didn't offer much today imo we should always leave him on the pitch as he can create something out of nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox 4 Life Posted 16 February 2016 Share Posted 16 February 2016 I wish agents would just FOAD. You know he is at home furiously masturbating over the money he will make flogging Mahrez to the highest bidder. Just **** off and let him play football.

In Fottball BUSINESS, everyone does bis job, including agents, we like it or not. IIt's a just another business in a Capital world and they are part of it (Capitalize profit!.... it's the system!) Even you fans they don't give you entertainments for free. The bottom line they want your money. And you, you can have the entertainments and occasionally moan and complain all you want .

AKCJ Posted 16 February 2016 Share Posted 16 February 2016 yep. shinji gives us 10/20 yards when we drop deep to defend. no shinji and our first line of pressing is the edge of our area. with him and it's the edge of the centre circle. same at aston villa, cost us points there too. This. We instantly turned from, defending in our own half to defending in our own 18 yard box when Shinji went off. Should have kept it as a 4-4-1 and probably put Vardy on Monreal with Shinji up top. I was pleased that Mahrez went off but was pretty wound up that Ranieri put Gray on but I thought Gray put a right shift in, was really impressed.
