Norwich 1-2 LCFC, post-match thread

[Sunbury Fox]

I don't care what team Marti selects from now on so long as none of Ayew, Skipp and Soumaré are playing. The improvement yesterday when Skipp and Ayew were withdrawn was seismic.

Why does he keep playing Ayew?

 

MC + JA = QPR love-in. Which means he won't drop the trash.

Agree, but we had 3 very good chances for this to be a comfortable win. 

 

Daka missed an easier header than JJs goal. 

 

Fatawu and JJ both shot when Daka was open in the penalty area for a easy finish.

 

No such thing as an easy finish for Daka

Great win, shocking performance.

 

Loved that the fans are uniting against King Power now. Aiyawatt and Rudkin have to go.

 

 

 

I don’t think it was a shocking performance at all. We created more and higher-quality chances all game. A more clinical squad would have taken care of the game well ahead of stoppage time but we got the job done in the end. The quality and attitude of some of our players is certainly shocking (and unacceptable), though. 
 

As for the ownership, I’m also glad to see everyone is waking up about how Aiyawatt is running the club.

😂 Yep, maybe why they didn't pass, but even with Daka it was a better chance to score.

Absolutely bang on and it's incredible to think it's like £50m worth of player there. We signed these players to be on another level to this and they look so out their depth. Skipp and Soumare I mean. Ayew is superb technically for the championship

Soumare has already been demoted. I think the only reason Skipp has been selected was to move James to 10 in the absence of Ramsey.

 

But it's not James' best position and we lose his real quality as an 8 moving vertically up the field (and into the box).

 

Ayew is a conundrum. Perhaps selected as a goalscorer due to our poverty at 9, but he offers so little on the wing.

 

We also looked better yesterday after the subs as we had 2 proper wide players who are prepared today take the fullbacks on, and given early passes in behind also have the pace to cause a threat.

 

Given a more balanced formation like that we might even see more from Daka or Carranza in the striker role.

Running? I'm not sure that's what I'd call it

We were abysmal until Norwich fell to pieces.

Ginger fella took it well daughter thought wrong grown men bullying him harmless banter I told her! 

[Leicesterpool]

70 minutes of the usual doss, then suddenly one bit of magic from Leicester it becomes a different ball game. Marti must be feeling lucky boy this weekend. Probably seen and heard the dogs abuse that Liam Manning was getting at full time and probably thought that could have been me.

Club statement:

We welcome the statement issued today by our supporter groups and representatives from the Fan Advisory Board.

Some of the chanting heard from sections of our away support at Norwich on Saturday crossed a serious line. Abuse or language that incites harm towards individuals, or discriminates against anyone, has no place at our Club, in football or in our society.

We also want to make clear our support for our staff and leadership. Personal abuse of any kind is unacceptable. The people who represent Leicester City work with dedication and integrity every day, and with the Club’s best interests at heart. No one should be subjected to targeted or hateful language while doing their job.

We are proud of our supporters for calling this out. It’s a shared responsibility across the whole Leicester City family to ensure our game remains free of this kind of behaviour and language.

It’s always been clear how much passion and love our supporters have for their Club. It’s what makes Leicester City special. But we ask all fans to consider how that passion is expressed, and to ensure it never crosses a line that undermines the values that can bring us together.
