Match Thread Leicester v Chelsea (FA Cup QF)

[lesterboy]

He ran away from the ball he should have covered with Simpson

In which case Kasper should have saved the shot!

When was the last time we didn’t concede first?

Fair point

 

[Micky]

We are shite. Puel is killing us with this shit build up play.
We are so slow in transition. Iborra is a a good passer but not mobile enough. Iheanacho is brainless. I look forward to this all weekend and we serve up this dross.

Now your just being facetious

Sheffield United.

 

[glyn]

This. That's where it came from.

But we still had the ball after that, when Mahrez tried to dribble his way through the Chelsea defence and I actually think we could have got a foul. It was a bad pass from Nacho, but to blame that for the goal is stretching it.

 

[Kettering Pete]

Ineacho should be replaced by okazaki.
Chilwell scares me every time he gets anywhere near the ball.

 

[City Fan]

I’m surprised no one has mentioned Mahrez, who was dispossessed far too easily for the goal.

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

I don't think we've been that bad but it was a mistake starting Nacho over Okazaki. He has offered nothing, been slow and lazy and that played it's part in the goal. Chilwell still looking a bit dubious at LB. Otherwise we've been alright. I think we're too often trying to play the Vardy through ball even when it's not really on...

 

[Miles Away]

Sheffield United.

We’ve conceded first in 7 of last 8 I think.

 

[lesterboy]

Now your just being facetious

Picking out Morgan when 3 other players have messed up or not put a challenge in is totally ridiculous.

 

[sparky79]

Before we go nuts. Iheanacho chilwell and ndidi are average age of about 21. Of course they are betraying a lack of experience. Ndidi should have bought him down but he didn't.
Worse issue is that a blind man would have known hey would set up 343 and yet we still set up 4411 isolating Vardy against 3 and meaning Mahrez and albrighton have to constantly chase back....
Okazaki and Gray on for albrighton and iheanacho.

I am not picking him out if he moves over to Simpson he forces Morrata backwards and slows the play, he does it everytime

I have no problem with Mahrez trying to create things. I have a problem with the ball he was served up leaving him a huge amount of work to do to try and keep the move alive and I have a bigger problem with Chilwell and Ndidi dissolving into thin air behind him.

 

[Graz]

Ndidi or Chilwell should've taken the yellow card by stopping William breaking. Inexperienced decision from both of them I think.

Harsh to blame Kelechi. Especially since we got the ball back after.

I have a feeling Kelechi will put in a good performance today,

Oooops. !

 

[Graz]

I think we've played well first half though. I'm happy with how we played other than the goal.

There's still plenty in this. Just need to keep the energy levels up and keep a high tempo.

 

[Miles Away]

A collection of complete brain farts from our young players:

Nacho with a shit pass and then even worse leaves Mahrez to figure it out instead of supporting him.

Chilwell turned inside out and doesn’t bring him down.

Ndidi not bringing Willian down either.

Not helped but Wes positioning and Mahrez (although he has zero options thanks to nacho) giving the ball away.

An absolutely infuriating goal to concede and yet again we are playing from behind having given a goal away at the worst possible time.

We’ve become so naive under Puel.

 

[big_mac4824]

It's still salvageable

I have a problem with Mahrez thinking he can breeze through 4 Chelsea players rather than passing it.
