Match Thread Leicester v Manchester City (league cup)

[City Fan]

Fuchs is stinking the place out.

 

[popillius]

Too much losing the ball, too much nearly, too much nonchalance


Plenty to learn

Yep. And that's the problem. For all the talk of needing a new RB, Fuchs and Chilwell are both left wanting defensively. Maybe a LB is slightly more pressing.

 

[Graz]

I’m not a fan of Fuchs but **** me this is a different level of shit from him tonight.


Think it’s the worst I’ve ever seen him play, including the games he clearly wanted Ranieri gone.

 

[glyn]

Maguire has been excellent today. Other than taking free-kicks.

 

[popillius]

Mahrez is different gravy sometimes. He's turning their defence inside out.

 

[glyn]

This feels like a missed opportunity now. A full strength team could have really got us ahead in this game.

 

[FOX Franks]

We have completely ballsed this. We should have seen the Shakhtar result and seen that Man City are there for the taking when they don't play a full strength side. I'm ****ing disappointed.

 

[FOX Franks]

8 mins injury time!

 

[FOX Franks]

And a pen! Nerves shredded.

 

[Blue Maniac]

PENULTEH

 

[City Fan]

Gray needs to teach Ndidi his diving tactics.

Was convinced the ref had blown the whistle to book Gray.

 

[Blue Maniac]

“Wonderful penulteh” according to Piper.

 

[FOX Franks]

Feckin hell
We've got a goal

Can we knock em out?

 

[glyn]

Was just saying in the weekend we don’t seem to get pens anymore. Marvellous.

 

[Jeff]

Two match ban for Gray?

 

[fitz]

Well that's fecked the plan up

 

[popillius]

Two match ban for Gray?

I don't think so. It's not a penalty but they won't give out bans if there is even the very slightest of contact which there was.

Goal of the year contender

 

[popillius]

Okazaki has only just got used to playing 90 minutes. After 120 he's going to be a puddle.

Could yet be subbed. A fourth is allowed in extra time
