FA CUP semi match thread

[Jonezy]

Some nervy shit....

 

We had the chances, but every set piece they get scares me. We could do with Ricardo and Vardy finding some of their old selves again.

 

Let's do this!!

Typical semi final. Tight with few chances. Not sure if Ricardo is as effective at left back though. Must be tactical.

Ricardo has come back a different player after his injury. He looks to be carrying more weight too?

[Heskey2011]

Perez off for the other knobhead, please.

[adam]

Need to makes some changes. Southampton are poor and the longer this goes on the happier they will be. Get maddison on 

[copunk]

Cagey as expected, been the better side, we need to be so careful giving away free kicks in our own 3rd, they are playing alot of long ball so will fancy their chances at set peices, not been that exciting but weve not been as bad as some are making out on here

Hopefully we see Maddison at the start of the second half. 

Thats better.

Not sure? He's been strikingly hideous

I only got through one bottle of beer in that half. I take that as a sign that it was a bit flat (the half - not the beer)

[Koke]

5 at the back relies on wing backs for creativity.  I hope Rodgers addresses this at half time.

Even comparing how stinky Perez is (and he has been) to Ricky is not being honest with yourself, credit in the bank my arse

I agree Ricky not at his best at all, Perez, well its Perez, dull game but still in it come on the Foxes

Perez worries me

Looks like he's desperate to make amends so is playing with no composure and his head is not there which is critical today.

[Cadno'r Cymoedd]

Awful football. We have been the better team and certainly only team to create chances. But our touch is poor. Fofana has been immense.

That half is on Brendan. Absolutely awful set up and he needs to change it. Awful. Perez is not a wide player. Awful awful awful.

 

These are such a bad team and were giving them a chance to get something g out of this

I don’t think they’re a bad team at all personally 

[STEVIE B]

Saints offering nothing. We just need a bit of luck.

We always seem better 2nd half. Both teams look nervous.

[Clever Fox]

Ricardo has been poor we need to get him on the right. Lot's of nerves out there, This is where the managers speech is important at HT.

[Livid]

Swap Ricky and Timmy and get Maddison on before we give away a soft free kick on the edge of our area and Ward-Prowse smashes it home. 

[Ric Flair]

Don't like this at all, no environment for Tielemans, Perez or Iheanacho to get on the ball. We need to change it either at half time or on 60 mins.

Ricardo at LWB is not working out thus far. 

Ricardo hasnt been working out in any position this season tbh, still clearly off the pace after his injury

[Greg2607]

Best performance of the semi-final so far goes to my wife.  She has perfectly timed the Sunday roast to be ready for half time!! 🤣🤣🤗

[fox_up_north]

Given I am dealing with side effects of my covid jab....I think having stomach cramps has been the highlight of the last 45 minutes

[coolhandfox]

I was really excited at the start of the season to see Riccardo and Castange in the same side......

 

But they have just had no pace or penetration, their first thought is to pass backwards to the CB.

 

This has 1-0 to southampton all over it!

 

Please Leicester, pick it up!

[lennybhoy]

Perez is just too casual for me...

[cruzFOX]

we're all seeing Ricky playing very sub par. Its not post injury he's just forgotten who he used to be. He should be running that flank and be attack minded. Like he's scared to take the chance. Has he lost some confidence. He's no good to Vardy or Nachos passing the ball back very time he gets the opportunity to make something happen. He should atleast try FFS! We so miss JJ and Barnes right now who would have been tearing the saints backline apart.

[Guest SO1]

We came to win. Maximum workrate. Just need some goals to show for all that hard work.

[HighPeakFox]

It's not great but it's nowhere near as bad as the hyperbole merchants are hawking.
