Atletico Madrid 1 Leicester 0

[RowlattsFox]

Defence superb. Drinkwater was terrible on the ball, gave it away or passed the buck onto someone else rather than trying to take control. Albrighton worked his bollocks off. 

 

Unfortunately just can't see us beating these, we can't afford to attack from the off because of the risk  of an away goal. 

 

Still, going to be a huge occasion on Tuesday. 

[Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo]

Benalouane take a bow, outstanding 90 minutes

Daft question but this means we now need 2 goals and also keep a clean sheet on Tuesday?

We need 1 goal to take it to extra time and pens and 2 to win. If they get an away goal we need 3 goals 

[stripeyfox]

Well we're in with a shout and the second leg is not a dead rubber.

 

Going to be a great day/night next Tuesday!
 

[Samilktray]

Bloody masterstroke bringing King on and sitting Ndidi deeper. Griezmann didn't do much at all second half after looking like he'd take the piss out of us first half. 

[Phube]

For the home leg can we have a yellow card on EVERY seat that we brandish for every one can wave for every minor Madrid infraction! 

[yorkie1999]

Good result, we can beat these , greizman is not a world class player if king can take him out the game but as fans we've got to make it as intimidating as possible for them, no more of this friendly matey matey crap with their fans , tell them to F off if they try to be matey. Eggs and water bombs when their team bus turns up.

Playing the reserves against Everton didn't help tonight. We looked knackered, scared and never once looked like we'd create a chance, let alone score.

 

Resting players is a nonsense.

if we hadn't rested half this team on sunday we would have been shafted tonight.

Yeah. Can't see the clean sheet though.

 

3-1 win at the KP. Brace from vardy and the last for Slim.

All three worked their ****ing bollocks off. Have a word.

Well, if Okazaki can only manage 45, not his normal 60, then he counts as minus 1.

Drinkwater was not the player we needed, minus 2.

Mahrez needs to do more in games like that or us to win, minus 3. 

If they can be in the game for the next leg, we win. 

[ROB-THE-BLUE]

Benalouane outstanding. 

 

Mahrez dreadful.

[Mezeker]

I would of rather 2-1 for obvious reasons, we will have to score 3 to go through which is going to be very hard against this team. My only grip is i would of liked to see gray come on when we were doing better on the ball around the 78th minute.

[DJ Barry Hammond]

 

One potential plus... do you think Athletics will actually try to shithouse a 0-0 in the second leg?

 

if they did and invite us on, that'd give us a chance me thinks. 

[Suzie the Fox]

To be fair.. bring it to King Power and HOPE TO GOD we get a referee that isn't a regular at specsavers. Then lets see what the score will be !!!

 

Dissapointed with 1-0 but would have taken that at start of game.

That's how 'fewming' I am!!

Brilliant result. We wanted to still be in the game for the return leg and we are. Performance  wasn't great, but the penalty (that wasn't!) aside I didn't feel like Atletico put us under the kosh like Sevilla did in the first leg over there. To win the tie in 90 we need to win 2-0, but a 1-0 would take us to extra time and that is likely the route we win this match by.  We played in damage limitation mode tonight and did a good job of it. 

 

Disapointed Huth won't be available as he was brilliant tonight. I hope Wes can make it back as Benny was really good tonight, playing it out of trouble nicely when we were under pressure. But Benny and... who else have we got... Will terrify me.

 

COYB, tie is still alive!

[Heart-Shaped Fox]

Benny and Huth immense 

Once again conned by a shite ref 

 

 

Gonna be tough second leg but can do it. 

 

Need Morgan back for second leg 

[AjcW]

Do I have to be nice to Mahrez again or can I be honest and get slammed??

 

benny MOTM, Simpson excellent, N'didi got his tackles in, drinky needs to rest until next season but can't

I don't get this mahrez was dreadful trend, i thought he was more than ok. Gave the ball away a couple of times but so did Drinky. 

[jayfox26]

Can the mods please ban people who know nothing about football. Anyone saying we were poor, couldn't pass, never looked like scoring needs to go and have a word with themselves. Phenomenal effort against a world class team. They play like we do but can do it a million times better. We still have a chance at the kp now so stop moaning!!

[Great Boos Up]

Being very un PC and in the heat of the moment I'd like to question Athletico's hygiene, parentage, character, creed and colour.

 

Thanks, I feel so much better, bring em on!

poor poor poor performance, cant pass for shit, and why wasn't we pressing and forcing mistakes, this is what we're best at when not on the ball.. half the team looked like they'd conceded defeat after 10 minutes... how its only 1-0 i don't know, but if we play like that at home we're doomed.

 

 

Did you watch the game?

It was one game.

[LCFCFOX6190]

Mahrez nullified just as Vardy was but both did great defensively

[Eskay]

Anyone notice Simeone not even waiting to shake hands with Shakey.
