Match Thread Bournemouth v Leicester

[glyn]

Not really injured. Doesn't get on with Ranieri. Same with Drinkwater. They'll both leave next month.

Speaking of which what was the nonsense they were discussing on the Guardian podcast where Peter Schmeichel had apparently been talking about disharmony in the camp, Kasper wasn't really injured, and they didn't really like Claudio?

Haven't seen that anywhere?

 

[Jeff]

Vardy close to scoring after being put through by Mahrez. Corner.

 

[Orifice]

Still no Schlupp.
Will we ever see him again in a City shirt?

Did he play and score the other day in some U-23 game? I'm asking as I don't know, I think that he did though.

13% possession! we are taking this 'you don't need the ball' thing a bit too far.

 

[Jeff]

Half chance for Slimani. We look dangerous.

 

[bocadillo]

Did Ranieri forget Drinkwater was available?

No. He listened to Brown Nose.

 

[bocadillo]

Well done Ranieri. Spot on selection.

Well done, you!

 

[FIF]

Is there any point playing Mahrez with these tactics?

 

[Jeff]

Bournemouth shot saved comfortably.

 

[Jeff]

Zieler kicked the ball straight at their player. Lucky to get away with it.

 

[FIF]

Half chance for Slimani. We look dangerous.

Haven't noticed.

 

[sparky79]

Hernandez off. Amartey to right back. Mendy on to form a midfield three with Albrighton and King

 

[Jeff]

Haven't noticed.

We looked dangerous on the break in the first few minutes. You must have missed the start.

 

[sparky79]

At least we might get the ball. Albrighton can still do his 'look up, try to ping ball' thing from the left hand side of a three.
Mahrez can go looking...

 

[Matt_B]

Seems a sensible away performance at the minute, frustrate them and catch them on the break.

 

[sparky79]

this is too passive by far vs a team who have been conceding for fun recently...

 

[Lako42]

Back to normal then.

 

[Jeff]

The wingers have swapped positions.

 

[Rock Fox]

can't string 3 passes together - need more control than this

 

[Jeff]

Huth shot blocked for a corner
