Match Thread Atletico Madrid v Leicester

[Speedy1]

Another disgraceful decision by the officials, Was a corner.

 

[glyn]

On current form Albrighton has to be close to an England squad call. Last few games he has been exceptional, that ball to Vardy for example.

Atletico are so well organised. Can see why Claudio said he modelled us on them.

 

[Billyjof]

Decisions against us

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

We've not been great but they definitely seem to have the referee on their side...

 

[Rock Fox]

clear corner kick - have thye bought the linesman as well??

 

[Mawsley]

In another thread...



...I'll take 1-0.

 

[popillius]

We've not been great...

Maybe not all over the park but defensively we have been excellent so far.

 

[popillius]

Drinkwater losing the ball again. It's now becoming a major problem.

 

[yackandandah]

Athletico are, I think, the best team I've seen us play. Their passing and movement would be a joy to watch against any other team. We're doing damned well to hang in there and are by no means out of it.

Credit it where it's due to the lads, they are - for the most part - putting a shift in and looking good. I'm guessing Okazaki must be injured... because I think we're playing with 10 men!

 

[popillius]

Slimani coming on.

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

Again should have been two there....

 

[bocadillo]

Slimani about to come on

 

[Rock Fox]

pity they've taken off Torres - he was useless

 

[bocadillo]

And Gray

 

[Jeff]

Slimani replaces Vardy

 

[popillius]

Fantastic again from Benalouane. An excellent performance from him so far.

 

[bocadillo]

Vardy subbed off. Safe for the second leg

 

[SwedeFox]

Well done Jamie. I was certain he was going to do a Gazza

 

[Speedy1]

Right choice Slimani for Vardy, like to see grey for Mahrez now.

 

[popillius]

Vardy did well tonight - worked his balls off and chased everything. It was the correct change and the correct time.
