Stoke 0-4 LCFC - Post-Match Thread

[Dan]

We looked classy at times. Started a bit slowly but it's like what often happens with us, once we've gone in front (and what a goal) we look pretty unstoppable. Albrighton's lowkey having a really decent season. Tielemans MOTM I'd say.

Superb performance by everyone in what could have been a banana kin game. Still think we should have rested Kasper.

He did rest, he stood around with nothing to do today

[copunk]

Whilst defensively we had little to do (2nd half anyway) big shout out to little Wes today, first game in England coming up againt a physical attack who threw alot of high balls in, I felt he dealt with their aerial threat brilliantly and didnt allow vokes etc to bully him at all

[ealingfox]

When's the draw for the next round?

That one was class because of the finish, though I'm not 100% sure Vardy meant the exact finish he made... but OK I agree that one was even better than JJ's!

 

 

Nah, he 100% meant that. He tries that flick every time the low cross comes in behind him, scored another similar one for England like that.

Absolutely sacrilege you ****ing heathen. 

 

Honestly though, in all seriousness, after some of the creative finishes we've seen Vardy produce and the fact he's tried flicks like that a few times, I'm amazed at any Leicester fan that doubta his intent there. 

He meant the flick at goal, but he flicked it into the ground so it bounced over Ederson, and I am pretty sure after the game he admitted he didn't try that aspect of the finish specifically.

 

Anyway it was a superb goal.

We were superb

But they were surprisingly dreadful

Men v boys

[Scotch]

For me there is no doubt that Perez offers more up front than Nacho does, his link up play is far better. 

 

However, we have the same issue with him that we do with Nacho. They both prefer to come deep and collect the ball as opposed to being that main scoring threat. 

 

Both of them are the sort of player you would want to through up front WITH Vardy when chasing a game (again I would favour Ayoze) rather than play in his place if he is unavailable. 

 

We need a striker.

Perez’ football brain is ten times that of Iheanacho. Perez is such a clever player imo

His downfall is his lack of pace though. 

[Lesterlad]

We were so comfortable all through the game. Don’t think I have felt that at ease watching city since Southampton away. There was no stress or anything from when we saw the team Brendon picked. We were levels above Stoke.

 

[Matt]

Wycombe next anyone?

Can we play them in 6th round

[Raw Dykes]

Magnificent performance, even if it was against lower league opposition. We grew into the game and were absolutely purring by the end.

 

This could well be the strongest squad the club's ever had. We can put in a display like that, and then you remember there's 3 of our best players missing. Including probably the best 2. It's mental.

 

Such a shame about Praet. Hope it's not too serious. I suppose it could be worse with the transfer window being open. It will be interesting to see whether we recall KDH. I guess Hamza will probably be staying. Could there even be an opportunity for Tavares?

 

I do think we should be looking to add a forward if we can. The only non-defensive player on the bench today was Nacho.

 

I wasn't expecting such a strong team today, but glad we're through relatively unscathed. Great to get another win, and in such style.

 

To Stoke fans: How's life in the Football League treating you? Not quite so funny now, is it?

[wokinghamfox]

Played the game as it should be played. Beautifully.

That’s not the case. Think Praet was playing for his position. He’s too good to sit on the bench but can’t fit into the team. He’s commitment and timing of runs and touch were all phenomenal. 

That's worked out well for him..

[Clever Fox]

Once we got the first there was only going to be one winner. Great Goal from JJ. 

 

Hoping for a good draw now on Monday.

... and lack of upper body strength.

 

Technically, though, he’s on a par with most of the rest of the team.

[shailen]

We're turning in some real top performances and the best thing is everyone is contributing. We play like this all season, even with injuries, we can seriously challenge on all fronts.

Have to post it again! Surely our goal of the season so far!

 

 

James Justin, take a bow son!

More than just OUR best goal of the season? The footwork and movement by JJ and then that shot. Gets even better very watch. It is so fast and picks up speed it seems together with the bend on it. Just wow!
