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

[NYC Fox]

From The Guardian

Leicester City are in crisis, apparently. They’re the reigning English champions, they’re in the knockout stages of the Champions League, and they’ll be in the quarter finals of the FA Cup if they can beat second-tier Derby County in this fourth-round replay tonight, and third-tier Millwall in the fifth round afterwards. Other than that, they’re struggling a bit in the League, which is historically what they often do. A crisis! Good lord. The world’s leaving me behind, and I’m not that fussed about trying to catch up.

Lovely play from Kapustka.

It was nice to see a midfielder driving forward with purpose.

 

[DarthFox]

****ing ref, what a ****.

 

[popillius]

Great tackle from Benny. Dreadful refereeing.

 

[Lako42]

Don't get the bizzare criticism of Benny.

That was a great challenge as well

 

[Motown Fox]

Could it be that A.King starts our resurgence yet again?

Well I think with us, including me, burying King after the First half, his goal resurrected him

 

[TommyK]

Didn't realise both Kevin Philips and Powell were at Derby.

 

[popillius]

Just catch it Ron, just catch it mate.

Me neither. He's been absolutely fine. Composed and a million percent better than Morgan.

 

[SwedeFox]

Me neither. He's been absolutely fine. Composed and a million percent better than Morgan.

For someone who spent 2016 in a gym, he's playing pretty damn well

 

[TommyK]

Not sure what was wrong with that.

 

[Jeff]

Bollocks. Lucky bastards

[Jeff]

refs a crook.

He got that decision right.

 

[Speedy1]

OOH yaaaa...

 

[Graz]

Oh crap. 1-1. Massive deflection off Chilwell.

 

[popillius]

refs a crook.

It was a free kick. Albrighton's foot was high. They got exceptionally lucky with the deflection.
