Match Thread Leicester v Porto

[popillius]

Vardy really is a brainless cock end sometimes.

 

[SilverFox]

The dragon slayer!

Slimani is a quality striker isn't he.

 

[popillius]

Slimani, however, is unbelievable with his head. Brilliant ball from Albrighton, wonderful cross from Mahrez. Porto must ****ing hate Slimani.

 

[popillius]

Barring that ridiculous yellow card, this is much more like the Vardy of old. Intelligent runs across the defence and much more patient.

Good performance so far. Got to say not been impressed with Morgan though. Has been the root of a few defensive lapses.

Is he being forced a bit wider tonight because of Slimani? Might mean he has less goalscoring chances

 

[glyn]

I can see a red card tonight, potentially for one of our strikers

 

[Miles Away]

There will be a red in this tonight. These are proper stereotypical dodgy European side and the ref seems to love the attention.

 

[Motown Fox]

Might be one of their players with challenges like that

 

[SilverFox]

This ref is a knob.

FC Copenhagen 0:0 Club Brugge

 

[glyn]

We're so good to watch when we attack like this

 

[Moose]

This could well get messy in the 2nd half refereeing wise, Claudio needs to get the players calmed down and professional at half time

 

[Motown Fox]

If times up then times up

 

[SilverFox]

HT. Good stuff fellas

 

[Miles Away]

This ref is an absolute nightmare for both sides.

Will be absolutely stunned if something extremely questionable doesn't happen.

 

[popillius]

You may be right. It's difficult to tell but he certainly looks to be playing with more endeavour. There have been glimpses of the old Mahrez/Vardy partnership we saw last season.

 

[FIF]

Happy with that.

Worried about the yellows and some of Morgan's defending.

Wish it was FT

 

[Motown Fox]

Glad the lads are up for this one. Perhaps too much in some instances and as Moose said we need a bit of calming down by Claudio.

I think Gray could worry them with his pace, trouble is Albrighton is doing his job both forwards and in defence and Mahrez can turn it on at any given time.
Perhaps take Vardy off after 60+ minutes for Gray and then play Mahrez off Slimani.
