Match Thread Leicester v Barcelona ICC

[Sack]

It did. In Sweden.

...and for the Leicester team too!

A lot of interesting output from that.
- Zieler is a competitor to Schmeichel
- Hernandez and Wasilewski are ahead of Morgan and Huth on fitness. Hernandez looks a cracking footballer and should push for the side.
- Fuchs is still number 1 at left back but Chilwell is a premier league quality back up.
- Mendy is ahead of King but i still think we are missing a destroyer that we were looking for in nzonzi.
- Mahrez didnt look to interested. The sooner we sort his situation the better.
- okazaki still has a role to play but we need another striker who is mobile and good at linking like him.
In gray, kapustka, schlupp, albrighton we have a great rotating set of wingers.
- Drinkwater is set for a hell of a season.

Okazaki was superb, looked very sharp.

I agree. I'm not his biggest fan but thought he did very well indeed.

Bit of a flat(pack) first half so I hear.

Spot on

How people cannot see his value to the team is completely beyond me

Thankfully Claudio can

I know it's usually the other way around but I got to take my old man to his first game. He fell in love with Leicester 46 years ago and I think he's met about three or four other Leicester fans during that time (including me!)

About two hours before the game we saw the first Leicester fans and he said half-jokingly to me "so there are others too!". He found it a surreal experience. To be fair, watching Messi take on Morgan & co so did I.

Kapustka didn't look match fit for some reason. Maybe just tired.

 

[Motown Fox]

Kapustka didn't look match fit for some reason. Maybe just tired.

He had flown from Poland to Leicester and then to Stockholm in a short space of time, and wouldn't have even met the players until just before kick off. I'm surprised he even made it on the bench.

One other little point worth noting... Mr Messi DIDN'T manage to score against the English Champions, despite being on for most of the game.

...That'll be why Venga hasn't tried to buy him then.

He didn't want to upset his new team mates.
