Match Thread Leicester v Manchester United

[Miles Away]

This United side is a different proposition from the last few seasons. Extremely high press, full of energy and pace.

They are going to rip us apart.

I just don’t get it with Thomas, never have. Nowhere near good enough to start games in the Prem.

That's the match thrown in the shitter after all that early effort.

 

[glyn]

And despite the early effort we’ve got no goal threat either so far

 

[Singapore Fox]

Agree. Ndidi had no option than to cover. Justin trotted back like he was out for an afternoon walk

 

[Weeble]

Arrrggrgrgrgrh

Any opponent with any pace or strength gets past him too easily. That's when he's in the right place to actually do some defending...

 

[popillius]

Ward does well there to clear.

And despite the early effort we’ve got no goal threat either so far

We make it look like such unbelievably hard work and yet have such a tenuous grasp of every situation, defence and attack.

 

[Singapore Fox]

We’re being pulled all over the place. Justin and Thomas look clueless

 

[tedfoxxx]

Yep, cracking idea to drop Castagne and play a horribly out of form midfielder at centre half

 

[glyn]

last ten minutes we’ve looked like a park team

 

[Miles Away]

Not a good performance from KDH so far. When he's pressed he really struggles.

 

[Jeff]

Yep, cracking idea to drop Castagne and play a horribly out of form midfielder at centre half

Do we know he's been dropped, and it's not a slight injury?
If he's fit he should replace Thomas at half time

 

[Miles Away]

Vardy is really struggling too.

 

[popillius]

Ward, Tielemans, Maddison and Evans get a pass. That's about it.

 

[tedfoxxx]

Another scintillating performance from the fearless foxes

 

[Miles Away]

Ward, Tielemans, Maddison and Evans get a pass. That's about it.

Barnes is busy.

 

[popillius]

Barnes is busy.

Yeah, he is but there's just a lack of quality in the final approach from him.

 

[popillius]

Kind of glad I didn't get to go. I can imagine the atmosphere is quickly turning unpleasant.
