Post Match Hull 1 Leicester 1 AET (league cup)

[Jeff]

Mahrez got our goal in extra time.

Hull won 5-4 on penalties. Mahrez missed the first, the next nine were scored.

 

[Miles Away]

Arse.

 

[Lako42]

Mahrez with another wank set piece?

 

[Profondo Rosso]

Annoyed. A very winnable competition this year. Should've played our first team.

 

[camberwell fox]

Not remotely bothered

Nonsense. Why risk them for a nothing cup. Yes, we could have progressed but we could also have still lost and risked injuring them.

 

[Matt_B]

Not remotely bothered

Same.

 

[londonfox]

So Kramaric to start on Saturday then?

I really hope Ulloa is fit and available soon.

 

[Miles Away]

I'm bothered but don't think we should have played a full strength side. I just think Kasper should have played in this. Schwarzer ain't up to it.

 

[Willlow]

Poor goalkeeping from Schwarzer cost us the win. Never mind let's concentrate on the league.

 

[camberwell fox]

If we had played our first team it would have been a bit of a kick in the teeth for the players who have got us this far.

Tough. If they can't deal with disappointment they shouldn't be professional footballers.

 

[londonfox]

Schwarzer saved a one-on-one from a few yards out. I don't see what more he could have done there. It wasn't his fault that the following clearance bounced in off their forward.

 

[londonfox]

Claudio can now pick the regular starting players and nobody can reasonably complain about it.

A nothing cup? Stop letting other team's snobbery affecting your enjoyment of a competition. Did you not enjoy winning it in the past? Do Leicester fans not talk about our past League Cup winning sides with a great sense of romance. We're not Man United or Arsenal who can win other competitions so can look down on this one. Winning the League Cup for us would be an absolutely fantastic achievement and a fantastic memory. Cup wins are the things you remember for the rest of your life following Leicester.

We're looking far away from a relegation battle right now, so we absolutely should be attempting to do well in cup competitions and this was a very winnable competition given the situation we are in atm.

Watching the replay it didn't look remotely like a one on one?

We'll have to agree to disagree. To me, the league cup is something we are contractually obliged to play in but that I can't get excited about. I'm quite capable of forming my own opinions without other teams snobbery getting in the way, thanks.

Agree with this sentiment, any cup is welcome.

Although the players on that pitch should have been more than good enough, Inler and Krammers continue to disappoint.

 

[Matt_B]

I'd add I'm not really over-enthused by the fa cup either. If it happens, of couse I be happy but I wouldn't shed a tear if we get knocked out first time around. Maybe I'm broken as a football fan. I don't buy into the "cup magic" tripe that the TV tries to get us to.

 

[give_us_a_wave]

I'm immensely bothered.My team threw it away against a pile of shite not fit to be on the same pitch as us.Arse & Chelski both out tonight so the competition opens right up.We aint going down & we ain't winning the ****ing league so this was a genuine trophy chance thrown away.Hull FFS! We should turn up,beat them,shag their ****ing Mrs on the way out,shit on their doorstep & get the last bus home.

Claudio...buy a keeper in January please & put that past it old **** out of his misery.**** off back to Aus you pointless sheep shagging non-entity.I don't want my club being used as a last payday for wankers with **** all left to offer.
