Match Thread Leicester v Manchester United

[homer]

Shit from Fernandes, shit closing down, shit from the keeper, beautiful strike

Get at ‘em, they’re ****ing shite

 

[Miles Away]

Barnes has been fouled 3x now at what point does the ref issue a yellow card

and another

 

[City Fan]

We have to do better at defending corners.

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

Cracking tackle from Tielemans there after Ndidi gave it away poorly..

 

[Graz]

Pleased with our resilience after conceding first.

Not immediately panicked and thrown it away like we were last season or like we did against Liverpool.

Just carried on playing our own attacking game as we'd been doing. Hopefully a sign our mental strength is improving.

 

[Miles Away]

Utd tactics plain:

Press Evans and Ndidi
Foul Barnes
Stay tight on Albrighton

What they haven’t solved is Castagne and Youri, who is having a lot of influence.

 

[Brown Nose]

Barnes 7th goal of the season (in 20 appearances). He scored 7 last season in 42 games.

 

[homer]

Wittering on about Yanited’s ‘world class bench’ and then a shot of JLingz ....

 

[Blue Maniac]

Logistics question. How do tv commentators talk while simultaneously fighting each other to suck the cock of “the big clubs” as hard and deep as possible?

 

[parafox]

Is there going to be one second of this match when they don't witter on about Man U?

Tielemans is the best player on the pitch by a mile for me.

Tielemans is the best player on the pitch by a mile for me.

An absolute joy to watch.

Tielemans is the best player on the pitch by a mile for me.

Tielemans and Ndidi are so much stronger than any midfield option that Man Utd have.

We've been a bit sloppy defensively and are lucky not to have punished more than we have. By pushing both full backs on so much, we do look vulnerable when we lose possession. Our two in midfield have saved us a few times.

Barnes great finish aside, I don't think our forward players have done enough. Maddison anonymous, Albrighton flitting about but not making an impact, Barnes disappearing for large spells.

Oh, and our marking at set pieces remains terrifying. One free kick Albrighton stupidly gave away and they just put it into the middle and we're all over the place.

You should put it to the bt and commentators accounts on twitter

 

[Miles Away]

Largely agree with all of that BN.

Youri and Ndidi superb, but we need a lot more from Albrighton and especially Maddison.

Castagne has been quiet too.

Tbh, I think I'd take 1-1. Neither side really clicking at the moment but I reckon they have more options up front than us.

 

[sparky79]

We need to be bolder on the ball and get at them a bit more aggressively on the ball. Albrighton discipline is ace but you're right he's not offering much beyond the half way line.
Maddison does need to get higher up the pitch and get himself in the game more second half. I'm sure he's doing something I don't understand like making mctominay play higher up the pitch or something.

 

[alex]

Like away at Sheff Yoo, Maddison only needs that one moment to feed Vardy.

 

[fox58]

We're awful when behind. We've only scored 3 times this season when behind in a PL match. We've got 23 goals when level or ahead.

We start the 2nd half level
