Post Match Leicester 1 Swansea 1

[Jeff]

Totally dominated the first half but only had Vardy's goal to show for it.

Poor defending from a corner gave them an equaliser at the start of the second half.

Despite lots of pressure we couldn't find the winner.

Our weakness to defend set-pieces has returned in a big way over the last seven days.

Vardy's goal was pleasing well set up
By Nacho. Good to see all players celebrating with smiles.

 

[Miles Away]

5 points dropped since Riyad took his ball home. At this point he should be ashamed of himself and fined heavily.

Yet another set piece. Yet another sloppy run of play around half time. Incredibly frustrating. Such a shit goal and fuchs completely fell asleep, not for the first time.

Some encouraging signs. Nacho, Diabate, Silva all look to have quality.

Simpson still can’t pass a ball five yards. And Kasper still can’t organize and collect on corners.

But the ref? Legitimately the consistently worst I’ve seen this year. Not major decisions but so many small things just baffling and wrong. Just didn’t look like he knew what he was doing.

 

[popillius]

For most of the second half we were devoid of creativity. We just couldn't seem to do anything different.

That performance from Marc Albrighton was the kind of shit Villa fans were seeing from him during his time there. His delivery was worse than Yodel's and it was so frustrating to watch. Two points pissed away.

 

[bloo]

Rue the missed chances.

Fuchs lost and flat footed gifted them the equaliser.

Excellent performance in patches though. We're seeing a new look team and style, it's still work in progress.

Surely a fine is not enough for such traitorous behaviour?

Take him to the city walls and stone him to death at the least!

I think me way regret not investing in a LB (although I'd still prefer Fuchs over Chilwell).

Was that ever an issue? I would’ve thought a new RB was higher on the priority list.

 

[popillius]

It should have been. Amartey and Simpson will do a decent enough job between them. Fuchs and Chilwell however, probably won't as we have seen during the last 2 games.

 

[LeeCovFox]

Great for the first half hour, flat after the disallowed goal then very poor for the first fifteen of the second half. The pressure we put on for the last half an hour was dealt with quite comfortably I thought.

Overall we were the better side but we let it slip and only have ourselves to blame for not winning.

How the hell have I managed to WRITE a spoonerism? Dickhead.

Yawn.

As disappointing as it is, the draw looks like it'll take us another point away from Everton. They are 3-0 down after 20 minutes. On the flip side, they are 3-0 down to Arsenal which is a bit of a shitter.

 

[Brown Nose]

A second successive Shakespearesque performance. Lame tactically, and sloppy all over the pitch.

I was fine with the changes for the game. The first half looked good but we didn't create a lot. Second half we were terrible and totally lacking in ideas and inventiveness. Withdrawing two of the three players that appeared to have a brain out there didn't help either. Bringing on James and Gray, wow.

Anthony Taylor was stoned through that match. There is no other logical explanation for his disinterest in the whole affair. Both in terms of lacking interest in speaking to any Swansea player for their time wasting or fouling, and his inexplicable lack of added time in both halves. There should have been at least five minutes in each.

Coming away from the match, I did think to myself - well that's City without Mahrez for you. Irrespective of your attitude to him and his behaviour, we've sure missed him this week.

 

[Lako42]

Complete shite.

They weren't interested and yet we found a way to not win the game.


Pathetic substitutions from the manager.

 

[blue]

Missed chances, sloppy mistakes and forgetting to turn up for the first 15 minutes of the second half. I do fear we’ve seen the best of gray and generally there’s still work to do to improve the squad particularly as we prepare for life post Mahrez. Fuchs was at fault for their goal and defending at set pieces is simply an embarrassment.
