Post Match Manchester City 6 Leicester City 3

[Blue Maniac]

Almost made a comeback. Maddison, Lookman, Iheanacho. Still can’t defend corners.

 

[SJN-Fox]

I suppose there‘s some comfort to be taken in the fact that we’ve taken the C team to the Etihad and scored three.

 

[Jimmy Lad]

We won the majority of the game 3-2

 

[fox58]

Two penalties and two corners the difference

 

[Blue Maniac]

We won the majority of the game 3-2

That’s the spirit

valiant effort today Maddison Nacho and KDH all 8 out of 10. bringing choudry on made little sense, it was hard to tell if we are doing a mixture of zonal and Man marking at corners.

 

[SJN-Fox]

Two penalties and two corners the difference

One penalty that shouldn’t have been and one corner that shouldn’t have been.

 

[M17TT C]

Disappointing but not really unexpected.

5 of their goals should not be conceded at this level though, whoever is on the pitch.

3 good goals from us though and Maddison is on fire at the moment.

Fernandinho lucky not to get a red card at the end imo.

 

[homer]

Poor Miles….

Completely the wrong approach first half, bordering on abject surrender

Finally made the correct call at half time, but way too late by then - especially as we are fully aware that we have failed hopelessly to address the defending of corners all season long - that one is bordering on neglect

I don’t expect it to be any better midweek

Madders was good though, weren’t he

 

[Jenks]

Defence is obviously our issue. Attack is our only form of defence now. I think BR left out Vardy knowing we were going to lose and saving him for the Scouse. Unfortunately I think we’ll be butt ****ed there too. Going to be a long, cold New Year.

Ah it’s alright. At least we made something of a fist of it.

Two set pieces conceded. Again. Gets right on my tits though. It’s even more obvious how poor our set up is when in person. Could see both goals coming before the corner came in.

 

[Willlow]

It could have been a lot worse. Let’s see if we can keep it respectable on Tue and then kick on with some more winnable games and hopefully a few players to pick from

 

[The Old Fox]

I think they were bl**dy brilliant!!!

As make shift a team, four down and they fought... What more can you ask of your team. I'm proud of them, to a man.

 

[Rock Fox]

Kasper and the defense shocking poor as we all expected,
but we showed some character and created a magic ten minutes of glory with three well taken goals - unfortuantely the match lasted 93 minutes.
Could have been a lot worse - - - next.

 

[Miles Away]

For some positives:

Maddison was brilliant. Lookman and KDH both played really well, and Nacho had some really good moments. 3 lovely goals.

Yes three cracking goals. All from open play. The fact they got two iffy pens and a goal from a corner that could arguably have been a goal kick says it all. 3-3 would have been fair and the fact we are so short changed with players against their billion pound team - wow. That’s what I’m telling myself anyway ha ha!

 

[glyn]

Well that was more fun than it seemed it would be after 25 mins.

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

I was fearing a record drubbing for us to be fair so it certainly could have been a damn site worse.

The second one was a definite penalty. And whether they were corners or not, they both should have been defended. AT 4-0 I'd accepted a drubbing. To have them on the ropes at 4-3 and to concede two such soft goals is maddening. That's 6 goals we've scored in 2 games and we haven't won either of them.

 

[Brown Nose]

I can't really comment as I turned the game off after 15 mins. However, I've just seen the goals and we scored from some really good counter-attacks. Maddison and Iheanacho looked excellent.

However, the defending from corners was hilarious as ever. It appeared as though we gave Thomas the job of marking their central defender from them. Absolutely incredible stuff.
