Match Thread Leicester v Brighton

[popillius]

Fabulous save from Ryan. JJ is tearing it up.

 

[NYC Fox]

Lovely move, nice save

 

[Brown Nose]

Maddison's first home goal in the PL for over a year.

My 0-0 bet keeps up my excellent record.

 

[homer]

are you using the amazon fire stick?

No it’s through the channel on Virgin

I‘ll just put up with it

 

[Skitzo]

We haven't. But I assume you know that?

effectively we have Fuchs is doing what he did in 15/16 season in not going too far forward with Albrighton staying higher then Justin does when we defend

oh right, try pressing the red button or something then, not a Virgin customer

Sure

 

[City Fan]

We haven't. But I assume you know that?

For the couple of minutes leading up to the goal, Justin and Fuchs acted as full backs, with Albrighton and Perez up top on opposing wings.

We seem to be interchanging a lot between a back 4 and a back 5, hence why we cleverly switched Justin and Albrighton over to be able to do that.

But I assume you know that?

We’ve been in the top four for most of the last 15 months, through to the KO stage in Europe, have had a cup semi-final, and that just counts as a “decent job” for a Leicester City manager.

What times we live in

So, when we were attacking, the full backs in the back 5 were attacking? Isn't that the point of a back 5?

 

[Skitzo]

@glyn yes it does given the total capitulation at the end of last season and seemingly giving up on the cups too

Yes. Why, do you think it isn't decent?

who Shearer? or one of the 2 pre game?

you realise the positioning of their team mates makes a pretty big difference to what options they have when attacking right?, Perez was out on the right wing giving Justin someone to work with, also meant he and Madders weren't stepping on each others toes

 

[Lako42]

JJ is quality when played on the correct side.

I have found some of the criticism of him this season strange

 

[glyn]

Yes. Why, do you think it isn't decent?

I was suggesting you were damning with faint praise. In any other era in the last fifty years this would be considered an excellent job.

 

[alex]

Bissouma is a player.

Yes, I know....
