Match Thread Leicester City vs Manchester City: Capital One Cup

[Graz]

Bad defending on that one... first of them that was avoidable really!

Is Vardy just a younger Hume?

I thought we had a promising young team. This is a massive reality check. These guys play the game at a completely different pace and we can't get near them.

Is it really?

Don't forget this is a team that beat the team top of the Premier League 6-3 at the weekend, the current European champions away from home, and Spurs 6-0 recently..

 

[Scodger Cubs]

Yes

Thanks.

It's unbelievable, some people's reactions.

Thanks.

Welcome.

Konch, Miguel & King playing well now...

 

[Graz]

Just want us to get a goal now really, something to cheer

This is in no way a reality check. If we're 3-0 down after an hour on Saturday and QPR are looking like they can keep a clean sheet at will and score with every attack then that indeed may be considered a reality check. Losing to a team that has just beaten Bayern Munich and Arsenal is anything but.

Schlupp on For Nuge

Where is the "like" button when you need it!

You lot are as much in awe of them as our players. Let's face it. We're not playing very well and this amount of effort and skill would see us struggle to beat any Premier League team. How the hell did we beat Fulham? That's the sort of performance I was expecting. I fear for our confidence against QPR.

It's a reality check for naive me. I didn't realise just how big the gap is between us and the very top.

Which would be a problem if we were playing Premier League teams every game but we are not.

I'm disappointed with their third because somebody should've been on Dzeko. Other than that though, I don't think we've made any mistakes or done a whole lot wrong... We're just losing to a much, much better team

Really? Where have you been for years? The struggles of newly promoted teams highlights this every year. I know Cardiff have done well against these but most teams struggle against the top teams, hence the shock at Man Utd losing to lower Premier teams.

I'm amazed you get enough internet reception to post from the ground.
