Man City 4 Leicester 2 - FA Cup 3rd round replay

[Chrysalis]

man city have conceded 10 goals in 12 home games. Personally I think we can hold our heads up high and gave a decent enough performance, not gutted we out of the cup as its a distraction but we gave them a game.

His recent transfer request because he was homesick?

Thanks. I missed that. I thought it was going to be something more complicated and intriguing.

 

[LCFCmonkey]

Okay, like I said, I didn't see what went before it and only saw Tevez raise his hand from the corner of my eye.

 

[Boy Genius]

"He wants to go home" - apparently. What was that about?

Let the slimy ****er go home then. I hate Argentinians.

Exactly my view. We've scored 4 against them in two games and there is nothing to be ashamed of in our performance in either game. We can not expect to compete with such a big-money club on an equal footing; we did better than I thought we would.

Now let's get on with the job that remains.

I would have sent Tevez off just for being an Argentinian! He will be claiming the Channel Islands next!

Talking of their fans and the empty seats I suddenly realised that as the attendance last night was only 27,755 that over the two ties Leicester CITY actually had more fans watching the Cup Ties than Man City did.

So who is the big "City" now eh.

The papers all had headlines like "City made to sweat". Sure half these reporters just see the Premier League and anything out of it are just also-runs.

Extended highlights. Tevez's dive equals Dyer's effort. The pair of them were hardly touched.

 

[FryattFox]

I don't see them either.

That's because they're not there. What did he say? Has he decided that they were out of place?

My mistake - looks like if you log in you get the updated posts. :icon_redf

What a goal by Tever. Lucky with the rebound but great finish. Good player! PENALTY!!

GOAL! Weird strategy for the penalty taker but nice finish.

Leicester really having a go at City. Very impressive so far.

 

[Blue Maniac]

signing 'Glory, glory Man United' was small-time though....didn't sing that fecker.

OH and if you sang "glory glory man utd" shame on you.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I'd rather they sang that right side / left side bollocks, which is something I despise.

 

[Miles Away]

Gallagher looked the mutts nuts until he went off and we were pretty much fecked after that.

Well, we were basically fecked as soon as Howard put his boots on. It's almost farcical to trot him out against a club like Man City. Should be moved on and Waghorn should have got the start.

Defending was pretty shambolic, and as a few have said Berner looked completely bewildered (not for the first time), as did Hobbs. Wouldn't be surprised if Mee got a game in place of one of them against Millwall. Hate to say it, but we might need to be looking elsewhere at centre back in regards to Jackie boy. Shame. Sousa ruined him. I thought Bamba looked alright, but he was a part of the back four that was at odds and ends, so hard to completely evaluate his performance.

Wellens, yet again, looked superb and the discipline Abe shows is very impressive. Kingy always so dangerous, but as Brown Nose has said, I think he might be playing just a little too far up the pitch and it's limiting his impact.

The good news now is we can get Mee, Vassell, Yakubu and hopefully Vitor into the side, add one or two more bits of quality (left back, keeper, centre back) and we can get a move on in the league.

I tell you this, it's been nice watching City at least 7-8 times this year. A far cry from the days when I found out results by getting the mercury sent air mail.

 

[Redditch Fox]

We've come out of this ok - on the basis that we more or less took them all the way.

That said even given that they have exceptional quality up front our central defence looks rocky and has done all season. Let's hope we can get away with it for the rest of the season.

We are fortunate to be out of the FA Cup now. A couple more injuries to key players at this stage whilst we are playing catch up and our slender chances of getting promotion this season would be all but over.

I just hope that we haven't lost too much focus and energy for the Millwall game.

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

I should think after being up for those two Cup games, they would want to give Millwall a good thumping, or spanking, or just stick 6 past them!

 

[Leesoh]

I don't know what's up with Brown Nose, but overall, I was happy with Leicester's performance last night.

Okay, we need to improve things, blah blah blah, yadda yadda yadda, but some games don't warrant such critical analysis. Save it for Saturday.

Exactly. So why some folk feel the need to be totally negative escapes me.

Was that you with BM and sidekick?! Sorry I didn't introduce myself.

 

[beaumontfox]

Yeah, I was the quiet(and frozen) one.

 

[DillyDing22]

Why wasn't Yakubu playing? :icon_lol:
