KFS Posted 3 February 2014 Share Posted 3 February 2014 FT 0:1 United Analysis: Freekick which was awarded after Conrad picked the ball up outside of the box. Pearson, Taft, Elder and Sesay looked compact and strong. Midfield was non-existant. Mahrez has a top class touch, and he's a box of tricks. Woody was poor, but looked to be carrying a nock. When he linked up he did it to good effect. Jeff for all his running should've taken his chances, but he has got quality there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a little bemused at your comments on Mahrez as in the first half he was wide right and most of our play was down the left and with all the long ball being played the game passed him by. If I recall correctly when wood came off he moved to a more central position and achieved little. Maybe it was the cold affecting me but there was little to get excited about so let's give the guy a chance and see what he can do or are you stringer in disguised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSoxUK Posted 4 February 2014 Share Posted 4 February 2014 I thought Sesay had gone on loan to Colchester? U21 league is its own entity. So Sesay can be in the Colchester squad / training, and still play for Leicester U21's as a registered player. Overall, I think fans and official figures have let City off lightly for the performance. Logan's error was so blatantly outside the box and no real threat - I don't care if he's been here for 10 years or w.e, unless he's on £10 a year, get rid to Vauxhall Motors. Jeffrey Schlupp played alright on the left flank, even though he was playing as a striker, he drifted out and managed to make some cracking plays down that left - We need Schlupp to shadow Dyer in training to make him a left winger - because that effort Schlupp had was very embarassing in a very dangerous area. Mahrez was out of the game, English football learning experience, but completely on his own for most of his game. Chris Wood should be doing better and scoring in the U21 league, he looked fit, but inadequate compared to what is essentially a league 1 defence + Michael Keane. Leicester did have a solid back four, and i'm sure if Logan had not of ruined the chance to beat Man U in any shape or form, this city side could've disposed of the opposition. I agree with the post above, City's midfield just wasn't there. Schlupp faded out left, Mahrez was on the touchline waiting for the ball which was in Lingaard's feet, and the middle men were completely outplayed.

ramadaone Posted 4 February 2014 Share Posted 4 February 2014 Our midfield doesn't need to be there if we just hoof it from back to front and try and pick up 2nd balls. Mahrez will look a totally different player when he gets his chance in the first team with the ball at his feet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Fatboyslow_ Posted 5 February 2014 Share Posted 5 February 2014 It was quite dissapointing tbh as when I saw the starting line up I was thinking ok a bit of old school wing play here, use the flanks put the ball in for Wood, how wrong was I I also throught King might have for an airing to give him some game time and use his experience, how wrong was I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird because Cain has quality. To be fair to them though, as much as I dislike United and their plastic fans, 0-1 isn't a bad result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ealingfox Posted 18 February 2014 Share Posted 18 February 2014 A brilliant performance from Leicester City’s Under-21s saw them strengthen their claim for a top half finish with a thoroughly deserved victory over Barclays U21 Premier League leaders Fulham. A typically cool finish from Jacob Blyth put City’s noses in front during the first half at Motspur Park but Mananga Jonathan Buatu’s header levelled it for Fulham, who had only lost one league game all season prior to kick-off. The Foxes responded brilliantly to haul themselves back into the lead however, when defender George Taft rifled home from close range with 20 minutes left before Michael Cain sealed the three points with a fine run and finish near the end. Importantly, the result lifts the Foxes up from 12th to ninth position in the league, which will see the top 11 form a top-tier of elite Category 1 teams next season. Afterwards, Development Squad boss Steve Beaglehole told LCFC.com: “It was a well-deserved victory. It wasn’t a game where we’ve been battered and been lucky, we fully deserved the win. “For me it’s the best performance of the season, bearing in mind the opposition and the fact they’ve only lost once. “It was a very good performance. The boss (Nigel Pearson) got in touch to say well done afterwards and that’s great. There’s a really good spirit at the Club at the moment and everybody is working together as a team, it’s fantastic.†The Cottagers named a strong side for the clash, with January additions Kostas Mitroglou, Larnell Cole and Ryan Tunnicliffe in the starting XI, but City were able to keep them at bay in the early stages. The focus was around Greece striker Mitroglou, but the duo of Taft and Kieran Kennedy dealt well with Mesca Na Bangna’s early balls into him and had a good chance to score themselves when Cain fired wide from Blyth’s knock down. On 34 minutes a Tom Richards cross did finally find Mitroglou in space for the hosts only for the striker to fire into the side netting as he stretched to reach the ball. Blyth soon made the league leaders pay for that missed chance when he raced onto a misplaced pass to confidently stroke a finish past Magnus Norman for 1-0. After the break the hosts rallied, seeing a Mitroglou header glanced wide before Buatu managed to find the back of the net following a Fulham corner to level matters. It didn’t take long for City to again edge ahead in the clash however, and it came from a corner of their own. A great delivery from Cain wasn’t cleared properly by the Cottagers and Taft was on hand to convert from all of a yard out with 68 on the clock. Both teams relentlessly chased the fourth goal of the game in the closing stages with chances going both ways. But in the end it was the Foxes who had the quality to make the final breakthrough when Cain was put clean through on goal to fire home and secure all three points. Next up for the Foxes is a King Power Stadium clash with Manchester City on Monday 3 March (KO 7pm). FULHAM: Norman, Passley, Buatu, Briggs, Richards, Na Banga, Tunnicliffe, Christensen, Cole, David, Mitroglou SUBS: Brister, Pritchard, Della Verde, Oberschmidt, Plumain GOAL: Buatu 54 CITY: Smith, Pearson, Elder, Sesay ©, Kennedy, Taft, Dawson, Cain, Blyth, Panayiotou, Dodoo SUBS: Anton, Simpson, Frempah, McCourt, Barrington GOALS: Blyth 38, Taft 68, Cain 86 http://www.lcfc.com/news/article/170214-u21s-report-fulham-1-city-3-1365961.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By Joe Crann 0 0 0 8 130 / SHARE / Feb 20, 2014 07:55 AM Anthony Gordinho is on trial with Leicester City. Anthony Gordinho is on trial with English side, Leicester City. Anthony Gordinho, the younger brother of Kaizer Chiefs defender, Lorenzo, is currently on trial with English club, Leicester City. The 18-year-old attacking midfielder, who recently left Kaizer Chiefs’ youth set-up to move to Ajax Cape Town’s, is currently trying to earn himself a contract with the Championship side, having spent this week training with their U21s. Gordinho’s presence in Leicester was confirmed to the Siya crew by the player’s representative, Ryan Hartslief, who said that he’s been doing well up to now. Hartslief explained, “He is doing very well and looks like a good prospect. If the lad can spend a season in the UK I really believe that he can make the grade. We will see how he goes for him.†Anthony, like his older brother, Lorenzo, has both a South African and Portuguese passport making it easier for him to make the switch to Europe should the opportunity arise. Having seen his sibling recently break into the Amakhosi first team under Stuart Baxter, Anthony will be hoping to earn some plaudits of his own on British soil.
