Not really sure what's happened to Barnes' form. He's much, much better than this, but he just doesn't look himself at the moment.

I thought we had a player who was going to emulate mahrez success, but I think was told he needs to score more goals and that's messed with his head

All stoned and shagged out according to the commentators

Only seen since 30 mins or so but looks worrying. Albrighton got to come off for Lookman. Nacho can do the lone role if he has runners beyond.

[ealingfox]

Actually think we've looked alright tbh but the individual moments have cost us. They took a good chance and we squandered a better one. Fairly even in terms of quality.

 

We'll regret not trying to win at home if we go out 1 nil I suspect.

[ElusiveEd]

Going to be a long time, if ever, before I can forgive Youri for that f*****g horrendous pass.

Don't think we're as bad as some making out. It's definitely not pathetic or embarrassing. 

 

We can definitely still win this. 

 

Also, how can we have no shots on target but a shot cleared off the line ?! 

I thought this too! How does that not count as a shot on target? 😅

 

I agree we've not been terrible. In patches, we've actually been good. Just very wasteful and sloppy in the final third. I think we will score, but PSV have taken the sting out of the game and the worry is they'll just tighten up more and more, get us to push up, and hit us on the break. Not nice.

Sorry Ricardo. It was love. But it’s over now. Sell in the summer. 

Signed a new contract, a few weeks ago 🥴

[jerry]

Toothless and predictable.

[An Away Move]

Can we sign Sangare. He’s great. 

[Adrian]

Lookman on now 

[FoxesWalk]

Just now, An Away Move said:

We are going to see Iheanacho and Daka on together at some point in this match. 

We simply have to at this rate, we are 25 mins from basically every attacker coming off the bench 

[Genesis1]

Dare I say it but we need Daka, Perez and Lookman on for Albrighton, Barnes and Tielemans.

[Shamomoa]

I'm not optimistic at all for the second half 😬 really need to go up about 5 gears. Its just not working. Whether rodgers will get it right is yet to be seen, 45 minutes to save our season for potential European football next season! Come on lads let's be the first to bring the europen conference trophy home! 💙💙🦊🦊

[Guest Col city fan]

 

Terrible miss tonight from Barnes.

You simply cannot miss chances like that at this level and expect to qualify.

I just hope he gets another chance and atones for that error.

He simply should have slid it away and the whole complexion of the game would have looked different

As for Tielemans pass….

I have a stream if anyone is struggling. Lovely rippling water.

That would be great... I think!

All we need is a natural goal scorer ! 😂

[Shane]

The lack of high press has killed us. Guessing it was tactical to not press aggressively but we could have really ruffled some feathers if we were pressing like we did Vs Palace. Sangare also wouldn’t have been so influential if we were pressing as a unit.

 

Having our pressing machine (KDH) stuck in a double pivot doesn’t help either.

Small margins. 

 

Go again second half. We're still in this. 

[frakenfox]

Albrighton not getting into this, passing him by for the most part.

 

I dunno, I just get the feeling it's not going to happen for us. We're capable, have shown some really neat football but it's just not amounting to anything. We've had the chances, as we did at home, they're just not going in for whatever reason. I can see it being 'one of those days'

 

I can't see what we can do either. The problem's upfront and we only have the Daka option, and they're sitting too deep for him to be effective. I can see there being a roll of the dice. Nacho and Daka plus a bit of a reshape.

 

[Hammo]

As scripted.

 

The only goals we ever concede are from set pieces or gifts. Tielemans owes us one at the other end.

 

Barnes is so low on confidence he shouldn’t be playing and Albrighton is no threat at all.

 

Maddison the man most likely.

 

Need to go hard at them second half

[weller54]

These lot aren't even that good FFS!!!

[tylesta]

Kasper should be saving that he dives and probably could of stayed on his feet and saved it

[Scotch]

We won't win this game as it stands. He needs to change it. 

 

Defensively, we are being exposed down the wings. That diagonal ball is ripping us apart time after time and going forward, Nacho is coming too deep. He's doing well but if no-one makes that run in behind, it doesn't matter if he keeps the ball and links play because we have no one to hit. 

 

Controversial to say but I reckon going 5 at the back might be the answer. It means the right and left CB can team with the wing back to plug the gaps out wide and if we where to bring on Daka, he could go long as Nacho comes deep and try get in behind.

Story of the season, sloppy at both ends of the pitch.

 

How good is Fofana though

Is he really a Leicester player?

[gurru991]

I remember now why I stopped coming here on game days. So many negative posters who I actually think want City to lose.
