foxes_rule1978 Posted 29 October 2022 Posted 29 October 2022 Defensively looking very solid, especially defending corners… continue that, and make it difficult for them. We could do with getting forward ourselves though just to take some pressure off.

You just hope it isn't a 1-0 win with a goal for them in the last 10 minutes! Which is pretty much how the last two home games against them have gone … 1
J.Lisemore Posted 29 October 2022 Posted 29 October 2022 Excellent half. We can suck these in and punch them on the counter if we play our cards right. 2
Tuna Posted 29 October 2022 Posted 29 October 2022 I think we've done really well here, we've restricted them to long rangers and crosses and have looked threatening on the couple of occasions we've counter attacked, we just need to take those chances when they come along. Amartey and Danny Ward all doing really well! 1

Torten Posted 29 October 2022 Posted 29 October 2022 Defensively excellent, our ball retention has to be better but you can hardly blame them with Manchester City’s relentless press. Sensing a late Vardy shithouse to send Rodri home crying.
trabuch Posted 29 October 2022 Posted 29 October 2022 Barring an absolute massacre in the 2nd half, this will have done our defensive confidence no end of good. 1
eastendfox Posted 29 October 2022 Posted 29 October 2022 That was OK actually, wasn't a bombardment, and we broke away a few times. Suspect they will improve though. Pep not happy. 1
dmayne7 Posted 29 October 2022 Posted 29 October 2022 (edited) Great to see some defensive organisation so credit where it's due. Still, it's too negative and that's likely to bite us. Needs to get somebody else higher up the pitch or even have a high initial line of engagement before dropping off. Wouldn't matter if these lads were on top of the world confidence wise because they'd still have no out ball so impossible to hold onto the ball. Edited 29 October 2022 by dmayne7
ozleicester Posted 29 October 2022 Posted 29 October 2022 just me...or have our two/three chances been better than theyve had? 4
J. James Posted 29 October 2022 Posted 29 October 2022 People going overboard 'cos Rodgers doesn't play Soyuncu then when he does and shows trust he's still wrong! Classic "l hate Rodgers so I'll attribute something bad to everything he does". Been solid so far in defence and team selection worked first half. Credit where its due. 2

Parafox Posted 29 October 2022 Posted 29 October 2022 6 minutes ago, Dames said: I mean its 11 men vs 11 men its not hard to expect us to be less respectful and have more of a go. Yes we’ve defended well so far but its been attack vs defence and we are just waiting for the inevitable. This is the kind of post I was referring to. It's not inevitable and we're defending against the potential they have. And we're doing it well.
copunk Posted 29 October 2022 Posted 29 October 2022 Someone has just mentioned it but again so long as we don't ship a hateful of goals in the second half it's a joy to see us defending with everything we have and not looking all over the place
jim5000 Posted 29 October 2022 Posted 29 October 2022 5 minutes ago, browniefox said: Defensive masterclass. Make them play through all 11 on the edge of the box, crosses come in we have 5/6 players there to clear the ball. Only issue is we can't keep the ball and when we go forward there is very limited options. Nil nil would be great result. Also at some point KdB could ping in a worldie from 30 yards 1
kingfox Posted 29 October 2022 Posted 29 October 2022 Ward and the defence have been excellent. KDH the only negative for me, his passing has been atrocious. 2

And we're doing it well. We’ve had 11 men on the edge of our area and they’ve still managed to work the ball through and get in behind a few times. Eventually with their quality we will get punished with this game plan.
