Disappointing to concede through a penalty but you can't argue with them being in front. Annoying though given we rode the storm and took the lead!

 

They are completely dictating the pace of the game, and there are too many stray passes. I think he will put Praet on, but it's a long way back from here unless we significantly up our performance. Too many players not at the races.

 

Not really. Just an ‘opportunistic’ goal will do it. Maddison’s weak shot at the end of the half nearly tied it up - undeservedly as it may have been.

[Gazza M]

We need to manage the ball much better in possession. Being forced to pump it long to nobody. I would get Albrighton on for Perez and put Barnes on the right and let Albrighton double up on Mahrez. 

[Fox in the North]

We have nothing to lose the next half, go all out. This game won’t decide where we finish in the league, beating everyone else below Man City will. 

[Trumpet]

Var looked at the angle that shows Sterling losing all function of his legs just once. Load of bollocks.

[sheffield_fox]

We're doing well in the league, so Man City decide to turn it on against us. 

 

We've defended pretty well and they've been lucky. Counter attack is working pretty well. Never know what could happen second half. Bring Albrighton on to help Chilwell... 

[Toddybad]

They've all been brilliant.

We've only had vardy being brilliant.

There is literally no point to Ayoze Perez.

Vardy definitely needs someone with him to give options. Bring the Nacho

Are you related to him?

[Countryfox]

Stirling takes a step then falls ..   slowmo VAR only sees the touch ... right but totally wrong ..

Lucky not to be dead and buried.

 

Our counter attack to Supervards will hurt them but we'll need at least 5 of them at this rate.

Agree. Soft penalty but a penalty nonetheless. We shouldn’t have been in that position to begin with l

Foul on Ricardo before the incident.

 

VAR Sterling leaned towards Ricardo causing contact = Penalty

 

Leicester corner and a chance to score half time 

 

****ing joke.

 

Get Perez off immediately.

 

Hamza on for Perez 

 

Ihanacho on for Barnes 

Do you want to re word your post

[coolhandfox]

To be it looks like one side who is use to playing big game, lots of experiences, against the young pretenders.

 

We have choked in the first half.

 

However we can still get something out of this....

You only deserve to be ahead if the ball goes in the back of the net fairly.

 

It was a blatant foul leading up to this so called penalty 

[oxtonfox]

Gray, Nacho and Praet will need to come on. Not sure when but I wouldn't be surprised if Brendan hooks Perez off at half time. No point playing safe now - that ship has sailed. 

[Mike Oxlong]

C’mon boys, if we are going to lose at least get in their fvckin faces and give it a go !

There was no difference between Vardy's yellow card dive a few weeks back and that Sterling penalty. VAR makes it so inconsistent.

It is so true. People will say we are only moaning but decisions are so inconsistent. The bigger clubs DO get the decisions.

If the ref doesn’t give it then you have a chance it won’t be given by var but once he has indicated a pen, a kick on the attackers foot is only going to mean .....

I don't think sterling standing on Pereira's foot constitutes a kick on the attacker

We need more midfield.

 

Praet on for Perez, and a midfield diamond. Barnes up front with Vardy, then Nacho on for Barnes later.

 

 

This is what I would do. Ideally would have had Hamza though if he were on the bench - we would benefit so much from his energy right now.

There is some crap written on this site when city don’t score 9 away. 
 

We are away to the champions ffs. Who are steam rolling us 

I dont think anyone is expecting 9 goals. But we are 2nd ffs and should expect better if we want to be up there.

One pass. 

Seem to remember we let a player who used to play for us off when he was shit for 89 minutes but produced quality in that 1 minute, Barnes while not there yet is similar, he will be quiet but always a threat, just need to get him the ball in quality areas.

[Tom12345]

Actually, yes, bring Albrighton on because the way to get through this is via a long ball to Vardy, which Albrighton is good at. He can also help take care of Mahrez. But I reckon bring Perez off instead. He is doing nothing and is constantly falling over. Bring Barnes instead to the right side.
