Match Thread Leicester v Southampton

[Rock Fox]

Mendy off for Barnes and back to our more usual 4231 with Barnes out wide.

After seeing that shower - Barnes has probably just put in a rquest to go back to WBA on loan

 

[M17TT C]

Barnes and Gray coming on.

 

[xavk]

Looks like Gray and Barnes coming on for Mendy and Albrighton.

 

[Jeff]

Southampton have lost more points from winning positions than any other side in the Premier League this season (15), while no side has won more from behind so far than Leicester (12, level with Arsenal).

I'm sure Puel told Mendy exactly to go out and play like a idiot to give 2 goals away.

I'm sure it was him that set up so defensively at home against shit though. I'm also pretty sure it's him that has created such an atmosphere of underachievement around the club. I'm also convinced that it is him who can't seem to make any tactical changes at all when the going gets tough. Oh, it might also be Puel who has systematically turned us from a side that attacks at pace to one that is so dreadfully slow and laborious in moving up the pitch. You might also say he is responsible for isolating our best player, one of the best strikers we have ever had, without any support at all, especially from our only no.10 who he is playing on the left.

 

[Blue Maniac]

Matt Piper's pronunciation of Hasenhüttl is hilarious.

 

[Miles Away]

This is disgraceful to be honest.

 

[M17TT C]

Good chance with free kick here....

..... wasted.

 

[popillius]

They'll just settle in and watch us try to break them down now until we bring Iheanacho on. They can really relax then.

 

[fitz]

He's certainly proving his point about 6th.

 

[Blue Maniac]

'N'd'i'd'i' 1-2

Well, any body part will do but fantastic work from Ricardo.

 

[M17TT C]

Yes Wilf!

Come on!

Good play from Maddison, Gray and Ricardo to set up Wilf to bundle it in.

Game on!

'N'd'i'd'i' 1-2

He was trying to control the ball, but did it so badly it ended up in the net.

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

Not sure how much Ndidi knew about that but thank **** for that. Great stuff from Ricardo.

 

[SilverFox]

Is anything happening or are we just passing it sideways and wasting the advantage we have of an extra man?

 

[Miles Away]

Maguire needs to be up front.

Lots of getting it wide and slinging it in to our players that aren’t big enough to win headers.

 

[M17TT C]

Good play in the assist from Ricardo but his passing has been terrible today.

It's like an attack v defence training session. They've parked the bus and we're trying to find a way through. I think we will.
