Match Thread Leicester City vs PSG

[David Gwilliam]

We were always going to be at a disadvantage playing Paris at 4.30 in the morning.

People from Paris are used to being lively that late jitterbugging in night clubs with their mistresses.
At 4.30 in the morning good honest Englishmen like Kasper, Shinji and Riyad would expect to be sleeping the sleep of those with a clear conscience.

The team selection was wrong. At 4.30 in the morning Marcin Wasilewski would have been at his best.

By far the lowest point of my time following City, this result eclipsed every relegation and each YouTube signing by Mendaciouseric. We will now spiral into the Conference.

Doomed.

According to the bottom half of the internet we'll be fighting relegation from Xmas onwards.Normal service has been resumed.Everything we've achieved since the start of the great escape under NP was pure luck.Mahrez is a flash in the pan.Without Kante we won't win a tackle all season,Smart money is piling on Chelsea for the title.

I'm in awe of their genius.

One pre-season friendly & all of that has been revealed to their incredible analytical minds.

Or they're just a bunch of laughable ****s.

Take your pick.

Loads are taking a pop, just a few I've read today.

Ha Ha Ha Ha. Leicester minus Kante and Mahrez are nothing. Vardy will wish he'd left when he had the chance. Fool

Reality took a while to get round to its task but now begins to assert itself. It won't surprise if Leicester struggle throughout all of the coming season and set a record for the poorest PL title defense. Even so Fox fans will always have momories of something even they will never quite believe actually happened

4-0 what an embarrassment. I wonder if the dummy lineker was watching. Leicester were lucky PSG only had their second team out

Just saw the highlight now and it was more comical than i expected. I said for so long that these championship wannabes are NOT so hard to beat. They are quite predictable: they NEVER initiate attack; in every single game, they clutter the midfield, put ONE player forward, and have their wingers constantly hugging the center line ready to chalk the ball to Vardy or whoever the lone player is up front. So in effect, they have one goalkeeper, five defenders, four defensive midfielders, and a striker waiting FOR COUNTER ATTACK FOR 90 MINUTES! Cut off their wingers, Maharez and whoever the other wannabe is, then man-mark their lone striker with a ball-playing center back, and Leicester are finished. It was hilarious to see PSG do just that. All the giddiness and rough and tumble physical contest got them no where -- except costing them a penalty! I hope they get DESTROYED every week this season. Jokers!

The biggest embarrassment to England in the history of the European Cup / Champions League. It's coming.

Quite impressive having a lone striker when you play 442 nearly every week. Poor little darlings.

Okazaki was invisible most of last season! Their defenders were just chasing shadows!

 

[Blaarev]

First loss since......February at The Emirates?

That's odd, because I normally rely upon the Mail to provide me with independent and balanced opinion.

Good time for a kicking that.

Bet plenty long time Chelsea fans read it.

That must mean that PSG have won the world then. Can't wait to see the selfies.

 

[Lako42]

Long may this kind of dross continue to be written.

I love it when the small of brain go to the utter extreme on something like football.


These people must struggle to get through the day when this is how they deal with something like the result of a football friendly.

 

[Cate Fox]

I haven't seen anyone freak out over the scoreline (haven't been on Foxestalk though), I've seen valid concerns based on performances in that game which surely is one of the things that pre-season games are for. The fact that Mendy seems a different type of player than Kanté, for example, is highly relevant. Of course there's nothing we can do but wait until the season starts but that goes for everything that's ever been said on this forum

Twitter is the place to go for meltdowns...

 

[Robin127]

The commentator on ESPN here made lots and lots of comments about Kasper, basically saying that he was fat and to be honest he wasn't far from the truth. He certainly (Kasper) looked to be carrying a little extra.

I think Zieler will be our first choice keeper by about game 5 or 6 into the season.

Have you seen Zieler play?
Does he command his area?
Is he a great shot-stopper?
Does he come and catch, or does he punch the ball away?
Is he quick at distribution out to the wings?
Does he have a long accurate kick?

Yes. Yes. Yes. Depends on the situation. Yes. Yes.

 

[Lako42]

My dad will be absolutely delighted if Kasper is dropped as 1st choice.


Can't see it myself

 

[Graz]

People massively, massively underestimate how important Kasper is to us

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

From what little I've seen of Zieler, he gives me the jitters. Not particularly fond of the whole sweeper keeper routine. In general I just felt like he was prone to a mistake, there were a few times where he'd make a save or catch and then inexplicably drop it.....

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

Part of the team backbone, same as Big Was. Tremendous respect from Ranieri to give him another contract.
