Match Thread Leicester v Crystal Palace

[M17TT C]

Yeah not a great start at all.

No confidence in the team at all.

 

[Miles Away]

The one adjustment is Tielemans is playing deeper. It’s helpful.

 

[Miles Away]

Has Barnes touched the ball yet?

Best player on the pitch.

 

[Jeff]

Last few minutes has been better

 

[Graz]

I forgot that early televised kick off games are BT Sport and not Sky, so my plans to watch this went out the window.

As soon as I saw we have Ward and Amartey starting, I felt quite happy about that oversight.

Not conceded yet! But think we'll still concede at least 4

 

[fitz]

Amartey has made so many mistakes in the first 10 that have completely exposed us.

Was driving back from the shops and talksport were saying he's been palace's best player.

 

[Jeff]

Our second halves are so bad we really need to be 3-0 up by half time. And even then I wouldn't be that confident.

 

[Miles Away]

We look brighter, as usual, going forward.

Barnes, Daka and Maddison combining well. Tielemans getting on the ball a lot.

Still a bombscare defensively though.

Stuart Pearce can **** off.

 

[Graz]

I think this will finish 4-2 to Palace still, but had expected us to concede in the opening 10 mins so going better than anticipated so far.

I feel like the Saturday lunchtime game is always prime for a bit of an upset, so maybe we'll deliver one by actually winning a game - or getting a clean sheet!

 

[Miles Away]

I must once again say - these are there for the taking. I’ve seen very little from our opposition generally this season.

 

[glyn]

We seriously miss a Wilf of 2/3 years ago, or a Kante.

Soumare is improving but he’s neither of those.

 

[glyn]

Southgate being there is probably jinxing Maddison today.

 

[glyn]

Other than a few minutes of good City play via Barnes it’s been a dreadful match

I’d argue that Rodgers being there is worse for Madderz.

 

[Miles Away]

Atmosphere sounds shit.

 

[Singapore Fox]

Atmosphere sounds shit.

Yeah sounds like a morgue. That said it’s been pretty painful to watch

 

[londonfox]

What a truly atrocious half of football. Any neutral who sticks with this is either asleep or has lost the remote.

 

[pork pie fox]

Atmosphere sounds shit.

It is

 

[Graz]

I’d argue that Rodgers being there is worse for Madderz.

You could, but you'd making a ridiculous argument.

You can say many things about Rodgers - but he's absolutely getting the best from Maddison over the last 6 months or so, but particularly recently. And Maddison has spoken himself about Rodgers is improving his game.
