Foxes Never Quit - that’s the story of that one
After stepping right up and competing, Birmingham chose to sit back for the last half an hour, and it was a poor tactical choice.
Against that it was incredibly difficult but we just kept plugging away again and again and again. Credit to all of them
Criticism of Ndidi is very much misplaced. He was ****ing excellent until he ran out of gas on about 65 mins. He didn’t give on up on those through balls, Fatawu overhit them badly - five times in a row FFS.
Their best player, and main threat in the first half, was Myoshi. Doyle was playing well, but he had him completely for pace. Swapping Doyle for Justin was a very clever move, and the extra pace at the back snuffed him out completely. So much so that they ended up taking him off.
Our best players were Ricardo and Winks. ****ing superb they were. Would have added KDH for the first half, but he faded badly in the second.
Again our subs were spot on - but again came ten minutes too late for me, and it nearly cost us. Praet’s energy lifted the whole team, and that cross from Yunus - ****ing hell fire that was good.
Absolute ****ing limbs when that winner went in - thoroughly deserved and down to spirit and energy right when we needed it.
Daka was just shit. Again. If he starts him on Tuesday I’ll seriously start to doubt his mental health. He’s ****ing wank.
For the second game running the goal celebrations by the team, and their celebrations at full time, were a joy to behold. This is a group (players, manager and coaches) who are right in this together and who care passionately about this campaign. It’s a stark contrast to what we have Been subject to over the past couple of years. I like it, I like it a lot
