Aidan Posted 18 November 2017 Share Posted 18 November 2017 Not bad considering Leicester is really only playing with 10 players (Vardy isolated and ineffective).Suspect if no changes in the tactics are made half-time, it's gonna be more of the same, if not worse.

dylanlegend Posted 18 November 2017 Share Posted 18 November 2017 I suppose our high pressing game which has been so effective against Man City in the past is dead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaspa Posted 18 November 2017 Share Posted 18 November 2017 They've been in control from the 30th minute, Stones going off has made them more solid and tactically they're doing us too. Not sure about Albrighton inside at all, too lightweight to be a midfielder, best attribute is crossing and he's not getting wide often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayfox26 Posted 18 November 2017 Share Posted 18 November 2017 Not going to read too much into this game as city are ridiculously good but I genuinely don't see any kind of gameplan. Their defence is utter piss now Stones has gone off and we have not even threatened them. Just hope we don't get smashed like everyone else has against them as we ain't scoring here today!

Their goalie hasn't touched the ball yet. A good, well deserved goal. No real criticism of our play really. We all knew it was going to be like this & if we can avoid a cricket score, we haven't done too bad. I just don't want us getting our arses kicked & it effecting our confidence. We played to contain them, need to swap now and just go for it, like every pep team if you get at them you will get chances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitchandro Posted 18 November 2017 Share Posted 18 November 2017 Think people are overrating that Man City performance. They didn't do all that much. They may be a great side but we don't look totally outclassed today. The goal is poor, if we'd have conceded that against Burnley no one would be saying it was a great goal. We just went to sleep.

ZeGuy Posted 18 November 2017 Share Posted 18 November 2017 2 minutes ago, Kitchandro said: Well there is someone to blame because the run wasn't tracked. Good half but that was a soft goal. 2 minutes ago, Nod.E said: Very good goal but Simpson's awareness of his surroundings was poor. Let Silva run off him. Sané has left him dizzy after that half. I'm surprised Simpson and the midfield held out that long, to be honest. Sané is actually the best winger in the league and their goal was coming anyway. It was only a matter of time before one of the back four makes a mistake. I maintain that it is a fine goal. The only thing I do regret is the timing, conceding just before the half-time is always annoying. The game is still on though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Guvnor Posted 18 November 2017 Share Posted 18 November 2017 Their goal was embarrasingly easy. If we want to get anything out of this game we can't play too deep , we should be all over their defenders like a cheap suit , just like the Arsenal did against Spurs. We need to go for this now, give them space and a second on the ball they will slaughter us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blabyboy Posted 18 November 2017 Share Posted 18 November 2017 I still think we can beat these today. Need to link up more and get it in their heads that they can do it. Kinda feels like we're giving them far too much respect and sitting back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh we are definitely not ridiculously good. To be fair we've contained them for most of the half and they've had hardly any chances until the goal but we ain't looking like we will score today. Like i said, disappointing considering their defence is weak! Vardy doesn't look himself and I thought the same against Stoke and for England against Brazil. I know hes not seen much of the ball but when he has hes just wasteful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Posted 18 November 2017 Share Posted 18 November 2017 I think we've played well, I expected us to get battered but we've held our own. Shame we conceded like that, as otherwise we've defended excellently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't disagree more. They are a class outfit and it was a class goal. They are averaging over 3 goals a game at the moment so they must be pretty good. We've contained them pretty well but w touch of class opened us up for the goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
