Professional second half. Pretty much controlled the game with Mads pulling the strings. Under put a marker down which is great to see. Lovely little back heel by Thomas near the end, pity Nacho couldn't get on the end of it. Is it me or is Nacho slow? I'm not having a pop and I'm not comparing him to Vardy. Just in general. He seems labored when trying to get up to speed. Everton on Wednesday which I feel is the more important game but it's a great sign that we can navigate these cup games professionally that in the past might have tripped us up.  

...has a tendency to be "sit back on his heels" and fail to be alert to opportunities!!!

It is something that he has as part of his game and has not exorcised it out of his performances.

A couple of years ago we would have lost this. The air of superiority oozing from a team that knows it has quality is becoming more and more apparent. Absolutely wonderful to be part of a confident City side - long may it continue.

[East Langton Fox]

Managing is easy when things are going well. The best managers effect changes when they are required. Well done Brendan.

Nothing seemed to click into place in the first half. In the second, our class shone through. It was never in doubt once we scored the equaliser. Tielemans, Maddison and Under starred. 

[ronnup]

we've got one striker and he's out. The fact we've managed to work around that is incredible. 

[David Hankey]

Well if it takes a halftime talk, so be it.

I know. I'm stalking him on a daily basis.

 

PS Are you retired, Stan? You seem to post here all day every day, in every topic. Some serious effort!

Possible future manager for us

Anyone know where to watch a replay of the game?

[Koke]

Good to see Ricardo back and good to see Soyuncu getting 90 minutes. We are getting the squad back at the right time before Europa League starts.

[majaco]

Very impressive second half.  Strong squad!

 

We have class.

[Marshall Cockney Fox]

A good professional performance after going a goal down. Madders, Barnes & Perez just weren't trying hard enough first half. But 2nd much better. 

 

If I was being picky I would just enquire why the moment the 3rd went in did we not yank Youri off? Madders Kel comes on and Madders and Perez drop a position each. Why are we flogging our conductor to bits??

[when_you're_smiling]

What does Youri have to do to get MOTM. Never seems to get it despite more often than not being the best player on the pitch.

 

Impressed with the turnaround today. Felt we were too cautious in going in for 50/50s first half but in a game we might have lost back end of last year, we’re now so much more resolute.

Worst first half of football I've ever seen. One of the better second halves this season. Classic Leicester. 

 

Still stand by Amartey needing to be moved on with Iheanacho and Gray.

 

Onwards to Wembley. 

 

Not been around long then?

Full game is on the BT sport app if you have that.

What I like about this team this season as opposed to last season is that they dont panic, they follow the orders and stick to the game plan. They also play to the whistle and crucially don't panic and keep possession in the final few minutes. They have grown so much mentally from last season. The future is most definitely bright 🤩😍👏👏👏👏

As a reward for playing so well?

 

Yeah, the boy deserves it

I think both teams need to work on their "taking the knee" routine.

I think that sloppyness played onto the actual match for us

[Dr The Singh]

Good to see Nacho get some game time.
