Match Thread Leicester v Manchester United

[Singapore Fox]

Man U haven’t had to get out of first gear tonight. We really are the softest of touches

 

[popillius]

Nacho coming on

 

[glyn]

Had a dig at Jenas earlier but at least he is calling out our lack of threat and ambition

 

[Blue Maniac]

For ****’s ****ing sake

Tielemans off - another bingo ball of a substitution decision.

 

[popillius]

I don't think we've been at all bad in this half. We have played some decent stuff and we have been the better side but there is such a lack of penetration. Yes, Manchester United have defended really well but we have looked bereft of any ideas in the final third. Almost like we are worried about losing the ball, just before we inevitably lose the ball.

Tielemans wasn't anything like as good in the second as he was in the first. He looked lost.

I thought he looked alright. Albeit being asked to functionally play right back by our div of a manager.

Yeah I think he was knackered having been doing the job of two players.

I must be watching a different game. Lively for the first 5 minutes I’ll give you that, since then absolute nothingness

 

[glyn]

Our xg for this game must be very low

Upfront we've been hideous. I agree. That's the major problem. Ward has had to do absolutely nothing this half but neither had De Gea. Let's be honest, neither team has been anything better than bang average.

Manchester United have been much better since Ronaldo came on.

Wilfs defending on that overhead kick was criminal.

They are opening us up again now.

 

[Orifice]

I'm expecting booos at the end.
I really need some booze.

 

[popillius]

I can't believe we haven't brought Vestegaard on.

 

[Blue Maniac]

I can't believe we haven't brought Vestegaard on.

Not until they score again, bring him on to protect the 0-2

 

[Miles Away]

Really is demoralizing watching us at the moment. Absolutely no bollocks at all,

 

[Miles Away]

Took off Vardy for Daka...

 

[Jeff]

Yellow card for Vardy. It was a good tackle. Daka on for Vardy.
