Match Thread Manchester City v Leicester

[TommyK]

Game over. Key lessons:

1. We're completely ineffective in our system without possession
2. We cannot trust Barnes or Perez when it matters
3. They've got more energy than us because they rested in midweek and we didn't (especially our full backs)
4. Rodgers isn't as good a tactician as he thinks he is

5. Man city are much better than us.

I’m not going to criticise Rodgers for that. We all want to win silverware and this game today isn’t going to make or break our top four chances. I’d rather be in the semi-final than lost due to playing some half hearted XI on weds.

I agree. But you cannot get away from the fact that we've given up some of our opportunity this evening as a result.

ManC is shit

Although I think that’s only a small part of it compared with our approach to the match and Mahrez/KDB.

This is awful. We are watching them pass it around like we are in awe.

 

[Skitzo]

Tielemans needs a lengthy spell out of the team right now, 3/4 games

yep. I hate it when other teams do this against Man C and we’ve just fallen for it big time this time.

True but so frustrating.

How many bookings is Wilf on for the season? Must be close to a ban
