Post Match - Roma 1-1

[Supergray22]

Let’s be honest they were a canny aggressive team with ability to break quickly and dangerously. They weren’t bad yet we were clearly the better team and were the more positive side. It’s a daunting task coming up but if we stay positive and confident we can win there as we are the better team. Fascinating game that’s taken six months off my life but still have to pinch myself we are doing this. European Semi final away against Roma in front of 60k fans. Stuff of dreams. COYB.

Ref was a disgrace, needs to go back and do his training again. Other than that, top work! 

[wokinghamfox]

Played really well couldve so easily won that. 

[TrickyTrevLeftPeg]

They were there for the taking. Shame we didn't get a second.

I feel like we were a fully fit Vardy away from a win.

He was marshalled because we had a lone forward, not because of fitness.

[tom27111]

Too slow in the final third, as usual.

 

We pick the passes, but a couple of seconds after they should be played.

 

We were the better side, but don't expect Roma to be the same next week. 

 

They came here to not lose the tie, they've achieved that.

 

Look at Atletico v Man City.

[FoxesWalk]

Barnes, Lookman and Vardy/Daka up top and hit them on the break to begin with id imagine, at their place. Might need a proper holder, Youri can’t do it, he gets rolled by his man way too easily. 

[Blue Ed]

Slightly disappointed we didn't get a win though with the performance. But I loved the game and the night... if I thought growing up I'd see Leicester be competitive and better than a team like Roma in a semi final of a European Cup I honestly never dreamed.

I’m not going to be able to handle next week’s game very well.

He has played 2 up top plenty of times. It’s just means 5 at the back.

When? 
 

[foxes_rule1978]

Very positive performance, deserved the win in my view but I’m confident going to Roma 

[ceredigion]

I would have taken a draw before kick-off. I just hope the 2nd leg has a decent ref in charge.

One day I’ll see us play 2 upfront. 
With Brendan in charge it won’t happen. 

Like we did plenty of times last season? How can we go with 5 at the back when Evans and fofana have been injured for the majority of the season.

[lgfualol]

Shouldve come away with a win but cant complain too much. Just wish Maddison was a little less selfish this game.

Great performance on the whole, my only gripe is the way we finished, you've got 5 minutes to try and get a winner, their not interested in attacking but we misplace so many passes, little slips etc.

 

We can do these next week.

I'd generally agree but this is essentially half time. If we risk things a little too much and lose then the different in 2-1 and 1-1 is huge. Agreed we can do them next week.

As expected.

 

However, to be done by our "world class" midfielder not tracking back and giving up running... criminal.

I wouldn't call Albrighton world class tbh

All 5 players involved in that goal from a defensive point of view should have done much better

[lifted*fox]

**** the spurs game, rest everyone

 

lets win this 

[Tanya]

I thought we were the better team and I honestly thought we'd get the winner.

 

Well played lads. Good subs from the manager. Still well in this tie.

[EnderbyFox]

Not particularly intimidated by the prospect of playing these away. We are the better side imo. 

 

 

Vardy will get much more room in behind when Mourinho doesn't have Roma playing his dour away leg strategy.

Eh? How have we bottled it?

We created enough to win the game, shouldve had a 1 goal margin going into the away leg on the back of how well we played 

[eastendfox]

Maybe we should have watered the pitch less. But that was solid, everyone put in a shift, just a bit more quality in the box and we'd have a lead. Going to be tough to win, but we're in with a shout.

[Lcfc-1992]

We’re the better side, they’ve got home advantage. Game on!

[LVFox]

Weird one that, we played well in general, thought Roma were poor. But we just don’t do anything special to create chances when we dominate possession. Really lacking that “x factor” player.

 

we could easily go to Rome and get easily beaten, or have a fantastic 20 minute spell and be 3-0 up. All to play for

[whoareyaaa]

Sounds like they got one of the inbetweeners to interview Lookman
