[Rock Fox]

best performance - looked much more to take them on and push forward quickly . Hope the injuries are not serious. MUtd here we come!

We is gonna win the league innit

Good performance that. Like the pressing, our possession play is improving. Defence looked a bit iffy as usual but we've been unlucky with Evans' injury and of course Maguire is still missing at the minute. We could still use a defensive reinforcement or two...

EDIT - also interesting to see what's going to happen with the RB role. Periera looked useful in a more advanced role today and if Simpson is no longer in the plans then we could surely use a RB.

Champions League here we come

Look handy going forward and when we are pressing higher up the pitch.

Makes Chilwell look quality when he’s allowed to bomb on.

Quite a few positives really. Nachos form especially important.

Worry about options to change a game. And obviously our defensive frailties. We still have this bad habit of starting games slowly.

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

Did we start slowly today!

Was the temperature 30+?

 

[Jeff]

A decent performance, but...

There are only four decent teams in France.

Lille finished 17th in Ligue 1 last season.

 

[Miles Away]

Kin Hell Wes.

 

[pork pie fox]

Great header by Nacho.

 

[Orifice]

Excuse my ignorance but what is the story with Vardy?
Is it still the England injury or what.

He's got some extra time off to recover from piles and pins and needles in his arse from his world cup exploits.

 

[City Fan]

Based on the pre season form of Nacho and Maddison, it’s the lack of Maguire I’m more concerned about than Vardy.

 

[Volpone]

Kin Hell Wes.

Yes. Stupid bastard should have grown 2 inches taller in the summer break.

 

[Jeff]

Yes. Stupid bastard should have grown 2 inches taller in the summer break.

It was nothing to do with his height. It was because he jumped in front of where the ball was going.

 

[City Fan]

Absolutely comedy defending.
