I’m afraid you’ll just have to deal with it .... we are only interesting to a v small part of the population 

 

if we had got a significant result agains a stand out team then we would have got a mention ... or if vards had scored a few ... the editors know that the country isn’t bothered about Lcfc .... apart from vards who has widespread recognition out there ...

It's a self-fulfilling policy on the part of the media. Were they to give coverage to Leicester on a more equable basis then more people would sit up and take notice and become interested.  It's the same old "top six" bias.

But you're right, it is what it is and we just have to deal with it.  We can only hope the drip-drip effect may bear fruit over a period of time.  If we are consistent over several years in producing good results, especially on the European stage, then attention in the media may eventually swing our way.

As much as I like Nacho he had an awful game. Everything ball seems to bounce off him or he misplaces his pass, I can't see him scoring in lots of games. I really want him to succeed but I'm not sure if he's capable.

Not looked any good for us all season. Has to play with another striker IMO or at least someone very close to him like Perez.

[Chrysalis]

clapping rodgers, he did it, under and barnes on same pitch.

 

nacho is best used in a 2 striker system, which rodgers rarely does.

Perez did more in his first two minutes than Nacho did all game. He looked a far better option.

I still think we need another striker but I've no idea who.

[whoareyaaa]

Made that look easy.

 

Similar team against Brighton please, of course Vards in for Nacho and Kasper for Ward.

Exactly.

i didn't see the game last night. i was watching the live commentary on the Manchester Guardian. Got to love them, Spurs qualifies as top of group, Arsenal did well too. As for LC, the comment came they have managed to avoid the big clubs in the next round. Accolade indeed. Makes you wonder what is the point, merely postponing the inevitable demise when we get to meet a big club. 

 

It pisses me off. the sooner these big clubs piss off to their boring revolving carrousel of  lets play each other a zillion times a year, the better.

Weren't we great getting to 2 up.  But then they reorganised things and put a stop to it.

Where was our next move?

[Corky]

I think we justifiably had complaints about Sunday despite the result but nothing to moan about last night. Comfortable win, pressure off early, key players were rested and others hit some form.

 

The job was to win and not suffer with injuries- both seem to have occurred.

Danny welbeck on pay per play - he is auditioning on sunday.

You seriously have reservations following last night’s performance?

It perhaps escaped your notice that we created loads of chances thereafter.

Iheanacho, Perez and Praet all had fantastic opportunities to score and failed. 

[WigstonWanderer]

Thought Barnes, Thomas and Ünder were brilliant. Looking forward fo the next round. 
 

Was Ndidi OK? Thought he got hurt just before he came off.

Yes they did. I have have some push back on this post.  I think we did a great job... my issue was how we can make things better.  The main issue seemed to be that we got a bit closed down in second half.  In fairness we could have scored two of the chances... but we could have made more chances.

[Tielemans63]

Thought we were great against IKE. Let's hope we can continue our form against Broghtun and Hive Albean.
