Leicester 3-1 Legia Post Match Thread

[RowlattsFox]

I don't think it was completely convincing but they were so shit at the back first half that it didn't really matter. Still nervous every time opposition attacks, always look overrun and chasing shadows. Too many players are inconsistent within games. 

 

However job done, this group should be done and dusted as group winners but we've made an absolute meal out if it since being 2-0 against Napoli.

I disagree with this. 
 

We’re simply not a heavy handed force nationwide, despite what people think and are led to believe by the media. 

And the moment a British cop decides to use force, they’re scrutinised to the point of losing their job.

 

If the British police received more backing from the public then these large scale incidents would be handled much better, but unfortunately we don’t, so it’s often a mess and comes across as lacking in organisation and tactics. 

Nah, not having that I'm afraid. British police at football are heavy-handed. The issue is they're heavy-handed against folks who are by and large law-abiding or who are just putting on a front to look hard. They've convinced themselves that's as bad as it gets and therefore have no idea what they're dealing with when the real headcases show up from the continent.

Coppers were literally forcing Notts County fans on trains recently despite that train going in the wrong direction to where many wanted to go. That’s before we get to Section 34-35s. The abuse of power when they know they have the advantage is damning.  
 

I don’t think going flying in on Legia is wise or sensible. They will fight back and it will be numbers. The culture is if one goes, we all go. In fact it’s what they want.
 

However the police in Warsaw literally gave the handbook how it deal with it. Plenty of riot gear, plenty of symbolic equipment and just make it very, very hard for them to even attempt anything. If it’s not easy, they won’t bother. What the Warsaw Police did very well much to annoyance of us all in the away end was wait until the stadium and surrounding area was empty before identifying who they wanted to arrest. Review their footage and highlight who they want. There are ways of evading that of course but it was far more clever; planned even, not the proactive action.

Sunday league opposition has a way of making managers look good.

Same Sunday League opposition that had already beat us once.

Did see a lot of Poles in the home end.

It'll be interesting to see what the footballing authorities do about the Legia Warsaw fans' behaviour. I realise they won't be going much further but KICK 'EM OUT!!

[Saxondale]

Loads of Poles in my section. Assumed they were there to support Legia, but it appears they were supporting Leicester.

[Christoph]

Felt a bit awkward when people started chanting about going back to Narborough Road or some sh*t. Bit cringe that. Imagine being a Polish person who supports Leicester having to listen to that.

Similar to us non white having to listen to our fellow fans booing when the players take the knee...but we've  been through this and the  prognosis is correctly states as we have some inbred fans.

Any news on Evans?

So you moan when we get beat by them and moan when we beat them, this forum has become inundated with self entitled whingers.

They were booing Legia not taking the knee. 

 

Idiotic based on what it would look like

[Harpenden Fox]

Lots of people from Poland siting around me. No problems at all. Not even sure who they were supporting truth be told. Kinda of showed what might be possible for football if it weren't for the small minority of people amongst us who get a bit carried away when inside a football ground.

I can’t see it I’m afraid. He shows very sporadic flashes of occasional quality. But he is largely ineffective and rarely produces anything. At this moment in time Albrighton a still our best right sided player. 

Not a chance IMO. We could maybe get better but Lookman offers a lot more than Marc.

About the most innovative chant some of the window licking twats who attend our matches can come up with tbh

[Corky]

Wasn't a sparkling performance but a fairly comfortable win and a few goals were needed and thankfully produced.

 

Should hopefully put us in better heart ahead of the schedule coming up. I thought we defended the set-pieces much better which has been spoken about. Maddison had a good first half, Daka took his chance neatly, Soumare continues to frustrate and encourage in equal measure, Thomas and Barnes linked well down the left.

 

Good win and pleased that we're in a stronger position in the group.

[WigstonWanderer]

Best performance from KDH that I’ve seen, and good to see Maddison and Barnes back to something near their best. Defence still looks a bit flaky though. They could have scored another couple.

 

We’re top of the league

It is also interesting. Racial bias?  Actual observation which is true?  I mean colour should never be an issue because it just isn’t an issue. However, the only white player I can recall recent criticism of for being lazy is Maddison. 
 

Could be something in this, which would be unfortunate if it isn’t actually a fact - which it still could be.
