Match Thread Leicester V Manchester City

[M17TT C]

Same shape defensively.

Hideous.

3 CBs against 1 striker isn't necessary though - no one in the league does it.

You need full backs on their wingers and then we need our wingers to be tracking their full backs, especially whoever is on the right as Gvardiol loves to get forward.

We can be much more man to man with this system.

Buonanotte playing? Maybe he's staying?

Doing exactly the same thing and expecting different results.... We know how the rest of it goes.

We haven't got the personnel to rely on four defenders.

 

[City Fan]

It’s the best team he could have picked in his stubborn, “thou shall not change” 4-2-3-1 shape.

Obviously we should have changed shape though.

 

[Micky]

Wouldn't it be lovely to have Fatawu, Pereira, Ndidi and Hermansen available.

Yes, and this must be factored in to criticism of RvN.

 

[Micky]

We started well but inevitably give a shit goal away.

Danny Stolarczyk?

 

[Graz]

Terrible keeping for their goal, frustrating.

I feel like Vardy's offside didn't really get looked at but looked tight to me?

 

[TommyK]

Every time Justin gets the ball it breaks down.

We've had some really nice moves too this half.

 

[Rock Fox]

There's still hope...

 

[alex]

I thought we played really well in that half. The midfield three of Winks, Soumare and El Khannous are starting to look decent

 

[M17TT C]

If we get the next goal, we will win this.

I assume they don’t do so much drawing of the lines for a non goal decision? It looked just off. Gutting though.

We’ve looked ok and really need to take the game to them in the second half. Just annoying it’s not the free hit it should be given how we are plummeting fast and need the points.

 

[ThaiSweetChilli]

We’ve been playing really well. Not perfect but great spells of play, passing movement and drive.

Bilal is phenomenal.

Atmosphere is awful.

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

Think we've played some nice stuff going forward and looked fairly sound in the midfield but again, defensively pretty hideous. Vestergaard and Kristiansen need straight up binning off.. same with Faes. Really need to bring a few defenders in January to have any hope and give RvN a lot of involvement in the type of defender he wants.

 

[Graz]

Buonanatte HAS to get a shot away there.

Positive though. Great move.

 

[Graz]

If we can get something here, it could be a huge and much needed confidence boost.

We're playing well

 

[glyn]

Think Vesty was actually trying to hoof it out of the box there and it could have gone anywhere including into the goal…..

 

[glyn]

Soumare’s seventh yellow card, that must be some yellow per minutes ratio he has
