Match Thread Leicester v Derby (FA Cup 4th round replay)

[popillius]

That's a penalty all day. Dreadful officiating again. I am so bored of shit referees.

 

[fitz]

Ref probably thought that was a good effort from inside the 6 yard box

 

[FIF]

that was a penalty

 

[Graz]

Didn't look like great communication between Albrighton and Slimani before the pen shout though.

Slimani didn't seem to have any idea where to go - short, long, deep. Maybe argue he was trying to lose the defender but just looked like he didn't know where he wanted it or where Albrighton was gonna put it

 

[londonfox]

Unless this goes to a shootout we are not getting a penalty tonight

 

[glyn]

Bear in mind who he's playing against

They are hopeless

I was thinking earlier that the clamour for some of these players does need to be weighted against the fact we are playing against a Derby reserves, no matter the result.

But Kap did look decent. Not saying he should be a starter but he certainly shouldn't have been adrift from the first team completely.

 

[popillius]

Nugent still looks a very neat and tidy player at times.

 

[DarthFox]

Love slimani, a proper nasty player.

 

[glyn]

This ref is diabolical.

That Slimani one was a shocker.

 

[Speedy1]

I ****in love Damari Gray

 

[harrowfox]

Fantastic build up and play from Gray. Wasted by Slimani

 

[Graz]

How has Slimani not turned that in!

Great play again by Gray. MOTM tonight

 

[FIF]

how did Slim miss that?

The first team was shit at the ipro, so we can compare.

 

[glyn]

We've just lost the skill of finishing right now haven't we.

 

[popillius]

I've said it before, several times; Slimani isn't the player some think he is. That was so awful it is laughable.

Slimani is a beast, he will get the goals that keep us up.

 

[yackandandah]

Mahrez is just sauntering around. I wish he'd show some damned urgency.

 

[TommyK]

I think he's been as unsorganised as ever. He seems to run into people more than he should and he's never really looking to create anything. He hasn't been awful, he never is really, I just think he's an average player.

I agree. I see nothing special there.

 

[popillius]

Slimani is a beast, he will get the goals that keep us up.

There's not a shred of evidence that this is even close to being true.

 

[yackandandah]

Slimani missed a sitter in AFCON too. Not quite as clear as that one but not far off.
