We don’t have any other competitions going on at the minute so there is no reason it couldnt happen. We did it's true but in Marhez , Vardy, Kante, Drinkwater etc, we had an exceptional group of players who played a particular style. They were so good at it that even though the opposition knew how we were going to play, invarioubly they couldn't stop it. We no longer have those players. When Shakespeare tried to keep the same team and style he was woefully found out without the right mix of players. If it was as easy as just picking the same 11 players for all circumstances there would be no need for tactics or managers. Man City, with some of the best players we've ever seen in the Premiership have just lost two in a row, Guadiola will no doubt change things slightly to combat teams like us who put 11 players behind the ball. We'll no doubt change things for similar tactics against Cardiff. A more attacking flair player in midfield is what would be required but we haven't got one as yet.
Bats8711 Posted 27 December 2018 Posted 27 December 2018 I may have missed it, but did I just read 16 pages of comments on this game without a single mention of Wes? Dude has been an absolute tank. Thought this was interesting

Do you expect anything else from an Algerian fanboy? Not exactly the most intelligent people when it comes to discussing football! Man City is just a rugby team without Mahrez!
Countryfox Posted 27 December 2018 Posted 27 December 2018 Had a fantastic dream last night ... no, hang on .. it was real !! ... we beat the fookers !!!! Happy days ....

The Doctor Posted 27 December 2018 Posted 27 December 2018 5 hours ago, Dan LCFC said: "Picked on" forgetting that absolutely scandalous decision to not award one of their players, think it was Stones a yellow card for a cynical counter attacking stopping foul in the first half. I couldn't believe we weren't more over the ref about it. Unbelievable officiating. He wasn't the only one. Every time we got the ball in our half, hacked down. Happened six, seven times and how refs not only don't punish it (they're not the only ones, Liverpool do it as well) but didn't even talk to the players about it baffles.
foxile5 Posted 27 December 2018 Posted 27 December 2018 Mahrez taking a pasting on the Blue Moon forum ; they regard him as a waste of money. Can't help but laugh my tits off at that.
oadby.fox Posted 27 December 2018 Posted 27 December 2018 Just when I had started to give up hope we go out and beat Chelsea and Man City - call me superstitious but perhaps I should give up hope more often! Credit to the players and Puel where it's due. It's performances like these which we know the side is capable of and that's why games like the Palace one frustrate so many. I never thought we would be sitting in seventh at this point so it's been a great Christmas from a footballing perspective. I also took my girlfriend (who is definitely a lifelong lcfc fan now) to her first football match ever yesterday and what a game for her to start with! I hope we can keep the spine of the team the same and try to go out and win against Cardiff and hopefully get a result at Everton. It's a shame that Mourinho wasn't given a few more weeks as we could have been sitting pretty in sixth!
deejdeej Posted 27 December 2018 Posted 27 December 2018 Throat and voice is in absolute tatters today, what a performance and day yesterday was.
foxy boxing Posted 27 December 2018 Posted 27 December 2018 A fantastic win and a great Christmas for the foxes. We had enough chances to be four one up against Man City, and we had them really rattled. again Ricardo is absolutely superb and what a goal. we have shown in the last couple of matches of what we are capable of and what we can achieve and it is about consistency and doing it against the mid table and bottom clubs. these last two games have been amazing but we need to keep it going come on you foxes.

It's a fair comment. He went missing for us just as often as he produced magic. Personally, I haven't missed him and I don't want him back. I would rather have the explosive power of Ricardo on the right.

yorkie1999 Posted 27 December 2018 Posted 27 December 2018 Mahrez was always going to be a small fish in a big pond playing for Man City. Why they bought a player who is brilliant for 10 minutes a game yet spends the rest of the game hiding, I’ll never know. For us he was an outlet, Man City just don’t play that way, they bring the whole team up which basically nullifies Mahrez and prevents him using his skill because he needs space to run at defenders. Wasted there. He’ll pick up medals, but they won’t be because of him. Bit like drinkwater at Chelsea. Can anyone actually believe Man City fans will be cheering his name like we did.

Can't help but laugh my tits off at that. Possibly on his way to the Danny Drinkwater graveyard. Once the fans start getting in a player’s back it can be a tough gig. Hope he does ok, just not against us. I don’t criticise his ambition or begrudge him his move but it was a shame the way he went about manipulating it.

Agreed about the last paragraph. The mask slipped and his true self revealed. He should be tearing it up for them but he looked frightened to come on.
yorkie1999 Posted 27 December 2018 Posted 27 December 2018 So, who would have took losing yesterday, but winning in the cup. I think I would have

I think I would have Interesting one because the lose in the week made it very sweet yesterday. Man City fans have morphed into their city rivals - arrogant and expectant. So putting their title challenge on life support is simply excellent. On paper, I’d say that result is probably our finest since we come back up. Their team fielded was ridiculously full of quality.
RowlattsFox Posted 27 December 2018 Posted 27 December 2018 Why is Mahrez getting so much stick? He only played for 10 minutes and barely had a touch. It was only a couple of weeks ago everyone was saying how well he’d settled in. Lose a couple and it’s all Mahrez fault.

He's not getting stick as such ... people are making comments about him cus he came back to the KP with his shiny new team, didn't actually start, and when he did come on looked very ineffective. The sulky mardy arsed little man child was so desperate to get away that he jumped at whoever came in, but, has maybe ... just maybe ... bitten off more than he can chew. Thats all ...

Pushing Choudry to the Right helped get players forward looking for Goals. A great change from a pretty good manager. Great Stuff.
siraaj_lcfc Posted 27 December 2018 Posted 27 December 2018 is it just me that thinks Man City have had a shit couple of weeks because they're missing Fernandinho? Not taking anything away from our great and resolute defensive performances of course.
