The Floyd Posted 18 April 2017 Share Posted 18 April 2017 The most organised team I have ever seen, luckily we only have to score three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beliall Posted 18 April 2017 Share Posted 18 April 2017 We know our foxes haven't got going yet, I'm hoping we go full on second half, we must. we have to pummel them. 110% come on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonFox Posted 18 April 2017 Share Posted 18 April 2017 Well, save for the goal, we were ok. It was almost a carbon copy of the one of the Sevilla goals. Just a slight mix up in communication between Albrighton and Fuchs. Expensive mix up. I would take off Drinky, too slow and not even picking passes and maybe put Gray on and go 433 with Vardy, Gray and Mahrez up top and Shinji behind. That would put a lot of pressure on Ndidi in the middle with Albrighton though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim5000 Posted 18 April 2017 Share Posted 18 April 2017 Get a goal and another on 80 minutes and see how they hold. They've done amazing job quieting the crowd tbf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are so solid defensively, we need some magic of some kind. The two most influential players are not hitting the heights (Mahrez and Drinks) and haven't been for a while. Gray will come on, but can be finish? Or make the right pass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazly Posted 18 April 2017 Share Posted 18 April 2017 Three of the four midfield players haven't had a good game. Not surprising AM can just pass around as much as they want. Drinky isn't happy unless he is passing to touch or backwards. Mahrez is running straight at traffic rather than into it. Albrighton isn't anywhere. At least Ndidi has made a couple of interceptions. Without a midfield you can never create enough chances to win a game like this. Not a single cross into the box outside of set pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lgfualol Posted 18 April 2017 Share Posted 18 April 2017 Gray on for Shinji hopefully. Atletico are just too good. Not too upset if things stay as they are. We have done so ****ing well to get to the quarter finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lee7 Posted 18 April 2017 Share Posted 18 April 2017 We haven't looked like scoring & as I said pre match these are simply too good. Well drilled and organised they know exactly what they're doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easilee Posted 18 April 2017 Share Posted 18 April 2017 1 hour ago, cityfanlee23 said: waste of time playing albrighton against these. No space on the wing and not enough flair or pace to create it, even if he does nobody to cross to. Bring ulloa on for okazaki, or bring Gray on for albrighton. Sod that. Bring on Gray and get Mahrez out of our squad so he can perform his 'magic' elsewhere. Sorry, miffed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vacamion Posted 18 April 2017 Share Posted 18 April 2017 The good news? At least there won't be penalties. The bad news? We probably won't score 3. We are the masters of the miraculous, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STUHILL Posted 18 April 2017 Share Posted 18 April 2017 I think we have made a good account of ourselves. Unfortuntately, we are a decent striker light. Vardy is doing his best to get involved and so is running that channels but then we have no one capable in the box. I know he divides opinion, but we really could have done with Slimani in the box. Disappointed Mahrez didn't close that cross down, as he had so much time to pick that out. Very good header though. Gray for Okazaki and Mahrez free role in the middle. Ulloa to come on if no change and get a load of crosses in the box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Prussian Posted 18 April 2017 Share Posted 18 April 2017 3 minutes ago, cityfanlee23 said: So your answer is just to accept defeat and learn some lessons then? I agree atletico's lineup is perfect. That's exactly why it's a waste of time playing okazaki in the middle with albrighton on the wing. It's exactly why we need a big man to head the crosses, or alternatively a young flair player to run at them and open up space. If we were more clinical, we'd probably gotten a goal out of our two chances in the first half. But we're not, we're not near the level of Atlético. The only way we can still swing this in our favour is pressure and application and players going for a 120% display from start to finish. Which plays straight into Atlético's hands again. They're happy to actively defend this 2-0 on aggregate. There's only a handful of teams I can see being able to break down this Atlético system implemented by Simeone. The goal tonight is just another tough blow from Atlético that really hurts because it came so unexpectedly. Still, let's try it. Go for the goal. And learn the lesson regardless. If it makes us better in the long run, so be it. I hope it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grewks Posted 18 April 2017 Share Posted 18 April 2017 Over half a dozen posts in the last couple of pages 'surprised' by how solid Atletico are. That's the exact reason the tie was over before tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeGuy Posted 18 April 2017 Share Posted 18 April 2017 Dreadful first half. We gave them too much respect and came in completlely paralyzed by what's at stake. We began in the "not lose" mindset and paid dearly for it. Man, Atletico are not even in the second gear. Bitter to concede after our first dangerous attack where Mahrez should have released the ball earlier. But that's Atletico for you and a small reminder to anyone who thought or still thinks they're average. They're completely outplaying us with a confidence that borderline looks like arrogance. Now there is nothing more to lose, so either our players put their fingers out of their arses and give them the half time of their life or we're going out with three in the bag.

You still have not made any point in this entire conversation that goes against what I am saying. You're just talking irellevant nonsense now. So you're saying our game plan should be just to accept the loss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monsell1976 Posted 18 April 2017 Share Posted 18 April 2017 Rather lose by 3 or 4 now, just have a go now, get in their faces, and get numbers forward, we are not going to score when we get through and nobody is in the box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nod.E Posted 18 April 2017 Share Posted 18 April 2017 They are very, very good and by playing Drinkwater we're effectively playing them with 10 men, making an already difficult task harder. At the risk of coming off as in-game hyperbole I have no reservations in saying I would not be disappointed if he left this summer. He's had his chances for me now and I'm not having this injury nonesense. If he was injured he wouldn't be starting the biggest game in our history. Game after game he misplaces the most simple of passes and disrupts anything good we try to do. I can't remember being this outraged at a Leicester player starting each week. He really has been THAT bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
