Match Thread Leicester v Manchester City (league Cup QF)

[popillius]

Mahrez should have made it 2.

 

[Micky]

5 nil will do.

 

[City Fan]

Question.

For the sake of our season and our future, is it better to lose 0-3 tonight or 0-8?

A 1-0 loss or a 3-0 loss or an 8-0 loss is still a loss meaning we’re out the cup, and won’t affect our goal difference.

I’d rather lose 23-0.

 

[Brown Nose]

0-8 would be extremely damaging, regardless of what it means for Puel’s future

Damaging for who?

 

[City Fan]

Damaging for who?

The likes of Simpson and Choudhury and Ward who play week in week out, silly.

 

[popillius]

Iborra with a magic ball there....

Another question

Clearly it’s not healthy for the owners etc to interfere with team selection. But they are ambitious. Do you think they would have asked Claude ahead of time if he is planning on taking this seriously or not? And when they found out the line-up, if it didn’t tally with our ambition as a club, suggest that he think again? Should that be Rudkin’s job? Where does the buck stop? Or perhaps they are all content with us chucking this Cup away?

 

[glyn]

If only Vardy was there for that break. Nacho didn’t have a clue what to do.

Damaging for who?

Team morale

 

[popillius]

Hahahaha. What the **** was that from Iheanacho?

 

[Blaarev]

If only Vardy was there for that break. Nacho didn’t have a clue what to do.

Not many there to help him though

 

[glyn]

Team morale

I do tend to agree. Don’t think our Porto hammering helped much with the feeling around the club at that time.

 

[glyn]

Not many there to help him though

When he first got the ball he didn’t need anyone. Although to be fair he’s not got the pace of JV to out run the defender

It's not the job of anyone other than the manager to pick the team. He should get the glory for success and he should get the criticism for failure.

Is Top even there?

 

[homer]

Hahahaha. What the **** was that from Iheanacho?

Well he had to wait about five minutes before any of his team mates got anywhere near him

Tragic

 

[LoopisDeLupis]

We’ve just managed to play a corner back to our keeper within about 25 seconds and three passes of the corner.


Not a chance that we’re scoring with that mentaliteeeeee

I agree. Still though, he looked like his was wearing somebody else's feet.

 

[Brown Nose]

Team morale

More damaging than what's happening anyway? I don't think so. They all look dead eyed and have done for weeks.

An absolute pounding would make players, staff and officials have to be seen to be doing something.

 

[popillius]

Choudhury is the only one looking half decent.

Was our season in a nutshell that. Poor git.
