Match Thread Leicester v Coventry

[glyn]

Got away with a couple of chances with poor defending of our own

 

[glyn]

If we're going to play this shape, surely Praet is a better option than Wilf?

We need someone that can actually pass

Another terrible pass there, from Ricardo this time.

Just like watching Man City.

If Man City had championship-level players.

 

[glyn]

Don’t mean to be overly negative though, have enjoyed watching us so far.

 

[Miles Away]

Yeah KDH has been a bit duff. Faes excellent. Winks too.

 

[give_us_a_wave]

Well, I'm at home. Sat drinking tea in my pants on a Sunday. I've officially become my dad. It was bound to happen.

Also the ****ing telly has packed up so I'll be watching vicariously through you lot. So make it entertaining.

If it all goes tits up i'll log off & have a wank.

Dawning of a new era.

Praet for KDH would make more sense. Neither is the answer in that position. If the Chelsea lad is any good he’ll score a hatful in this system.

 

[M17TT C]

Yeah we're doing alright, just missing the quality pass that Maddison or Tielemans would normally put through.

Not sure about Ricardo at RB though and Vardy needs to get involved more and do better.

 

[Thefoxinoz]

Doing alright so far

 

[Graz]

Praet for KDH would make more sense. Neither is the answer in that position.

At least KDH carries the ball forwards though. It's pretty much his only attribute. Whereas Wilf offers nothing further up the pitch.

 

[Miles Away]

My other observation is this system suits Nacho a lot more than Daka or Vardy.

He’s making some really good runs between the lines, especially between the left back and left centre back.

 

[Graz]

Feels fairly positive so far, we are clearly the better team.

But also feels like a lot of last season's games where we look alright for the first 20/30 mins, then start slowing things and keeping possession while the other team starts plugging the gaps... And then we concede out of nowhere due to a mistake.

Maybe I just need some time for the trust to rebuild from last season

 

[Graz]

Agreed. Unless he wants to go still and is likely to go, I don't understand how he's not playing.

He'd tear this league apart

 

[KetteringPete2]

Crap free kick

 

[Graz]

Mavididi, loved that!

Feeling the same.

 

[fitz]

He who very nearly joined us once upon a time

We even announced his signing. Never happened though.

 

[bigmattp]

Plenty of space on the wings. McAteer has looked good

 

[glyn]

Poor final ball every time.

 

[Graz]

Lovely pass by Winks to Mavididi.

Winks is a good passer by the look of it, but the problem is that he's very deep to get it to our attackers.

If we sign this guy from Chelsea on loan, I assume he plays as one of the attacking mids which could help a lot because the lack of quality there is really telling in this system so far.
