Post Match Derby 2 Leicester 2 (FA Cup)

[homer]

They were terrible. We were poor

For all the moaning about the defence, nothing was as desperately awful as the contribution of Jamie Vardy tonight. It's tragic to watch how both he and Drinkwater have turned from utter brilliance to genuinely shite

Very sad

 

[lcfcrules]

Everyone was shite, the chairman is shite, we were lucky etc etc... can they all be replaced?

I am not as negative, as this is the Leicester I am truly used to; last season was a one off. People seem to forget what it was really like...

Amen to that. End of January, still in the cup, not in the relegation zone, two years ago, that would have been not-in-a-month-of-Sundays stuff. Plus we are in champions league man! Champions league!

Possession, chances, shots on target, corners etc...only one team in it. But when that team can't defend to save it's life a draw is the best you can hope for really.A half decent defensive display & we win that easily & make changes on the hour to rest players. As it is we get a ****ing replay which with our luck will feature a shitload of injuries.

Still laughing at Bent's own goal.

To be fair, Bent had to laugh at himself in the post match interview - It mirrored Morgan in a way - and although I have a huge amount of respect for what the Cap has done for us in the past - he is so very slow - his ponderously playing the ball out of defence is awful to watch - but like Bent, he showed some guts and desire at the end and drilled one home to equalise.
It was certainly more entertaining than the vast majority of matches I have seen us play this season.

"
And you're so blinded by anger that you can't see anything but negatives. I honestly can't understand why people of your mindset bother watching? There is no enjoyment for you to be had. Unless you are only happy when whinging."

You don't know me and you don't know what I get out of games.

I made the trip tonight, like I usually do so don't give me that judgemental shit.

If you or anyone else is happy with the way these hugely rewarded players are performing then fair play to you, I expect more now and you can't tell me why I shouldn't.

We havea bunch of bedwetters out there who can only respond when they really have to, mainly to save embarrassment.

The league doesn't lie and neither does the fact we just came very close to being dumped out of the cup by a seriously lacklustre Derby County.

That goal papered over some serious cracks, cracks that possibly could see the Champions of England relegated.....wow

Relegated?! A win over Burnley on Tuesday night could see us climb all the way up to ---- er --- stay in 15th place

It's almost like saying the wankership isn't all that bad

Yeah, but that's our rightful place

I appreciate this point of view and despite what people might think, I have been of a similar opinion.

However, why after winning the league should we accept or tolerate worse football than we often played in the great escape season?

If we don't look to improve (especially after spending obscene money) then what is the point?

Let me also just clarify that I come on here to vent my frustration, I don't abuse the team and I don't boo. What would people prefer?

If we win and Watford lose at Arsenal we'll go up to 14th.

Let's face it, Burnley are going to do us over

Great home record.

Hopefully we will really press home our new playing style......

Fear.

We've played several seasons without any fear. Even there great escape season was played totally fearless. Winning the league has made us fear failure. Players and fans. We've got to overcome that fear.

This is the kind of shite that is getting right on my pip. Leicester fans my friggin arse. I give up.

Lads there is a ton of positives to take out of that, Albrighton immense again, all the subs bar musa made an impact. Gray Shinji and Vardy should have scored, Carson was superb for Derby.

King looks a different player further up the pitch, would have preffered either Mendy ir Ndidi to have partnered DD. We dominated the game and should have won by a clear margin.

Morgan looks shattered and needs a rest I think CR should consider Amartey there when he returns from the ACoN. I hope we go at Burnley on tuesday be brave and work our bollocks off its all about application, I really feel for Vardy he is working his nuts off it is hard to impact a game when you spend most of your time chasing bad aerial passes from your central defence.

Good game tonight really enjoyed it

We simply weren't as poor as some posts on here are making out. Okay, not a glittering performance but better by far than what we have seen in recent weeks and a little bit of that 'never say die' attitude that we have seen over the past two seasons or so. We didn't defend well (or at all, even) for either of their goals but we did show some endeavour going forward. I also don't think Drinkwater was as terrible as seems to be the general consensus. He seemed much more involved today and tidied up in midfield very nicely. I agree that his long passing was still far too hit and miss but some of his neatness in close proximity play was back tonight. We completely dominated the second half and but for the superb performance of Scott Carson, we'd have won the game.

We mustn't get so used to grumbling that it becomes the norm. Look for the positives; on Saturday there were none. Tonight we were much, much better.

Cannot understand the 'Derby are wank' comments. They played well. Just because they are 12 places below us does not make them a rubbish team.

We mostly played well. Too much in the air instead of on the floor, but that might have been as much as to do with the weather and the playing surface as tactics.

Vardy seems only able to pass balls to the keeper, instead of shooting either side of him.

Okazaki puts in another great shift.

Mahrez made a big difference in the last 10 minutes and setup several good chances.

I thought Okasaki was a standout poor performer tonight. Offered little and shoulders done better with his chance.

I'm sorry but I'm not sure what 'kind of shite' you are referring to. Just because I think Burnley will beat us doesn't mean I'm not a LCFC fan. In fact I have been a season ticket holder for 35 years. On current form of both teams I think a home win is a fair assumption to make. I'm sorry that gets on your pop. Of course, I hope we win and I am proved wrong.

I'm sure I was berated for making a similar comment the other day? xD

Very very well said. Both need to be dropped immediately. And there is nothing to suggest that Ranieri has the bollocks to do it.
