Post Match Peterborough 1 Leicester 5 (FA cup)

[Jeff]

Two goals each for Diabate and Iheanacho, one for Ndidi.

 

[Blaarev]

A Joe Waters like debut for Diabaté

Really have no need to keep Musa now. Looked very useful, at the fraction of Musa’s price.

 

[Brown Nose]

I seem to recall some feckwit going on about the pointlessness of signing someone like Diabate.

"Too old to be one for the future and too young/inexperienced to be able to slot straight into the first team squad. So what's the point of him?"

What a knob you are BN.

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

New youngsters generally looked good.

Diabate good skills and positioning

Barnes not quite as good as quite a few passes just went straight to the opposition.

 

[Orifice]

Well, I wasn't expecting that. They weren't very good but neither were Fleetwood.

This should give a lot of confidence to that Diatribe bloke. Looks good on the ball Garry.

 

[Joe_Fox]

Entertaining game, shame we conceded but hey ho. Accuracy thought Benalouane was pretty good today. Hamer not bad either. Barnes was poor. Diabate awesome! Silva dodgy at times but needs match time. Thought the substitutions were well thought out and stopped their momentum completely. We could have scored more but then I suppose so could they.

 

[Skitzo]

Can we release Ben Hamer please, getting beaten like that is something a kid would be embarrassed about

 

[homer]

Chalk and cheese with the Fleetwood shambles - we strolled it

Had we kept up the attitude and approach of the first half I genuinely think we could have had ten - the gulf was that great

Hard to judge Diabetes against that opposition, but he looked very very good indeed. Technicallly excellent and quick as feck. Nacho too - he would have scored a hatful if we hadn't pissed about in the second half 'cos he got into scoring positions time and time and time again

Lovely stuff

 

[PFKAKTF FOX]

Overall very solid and professional performance, the real positives has to be the emergence of Diabate who was magnificent. The future looks really promising under Puel and now have a number of young exciting options in the squad.

Looks like we have seen the last of King, Ulloa, Musa and Slimani.

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

Surely Diabate is onside for his second goal as it come to him off the goalie?

No, it should have been disallowed. He was offside when the original shot went in, that's what counts.

He was offside for the shot from Gray - so it shouldn't have counted

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

We bossed the first half, Peterboro' looked better in the second but the 4th goal really killed them off. We played some excellent one touch football. We looked a bit dozy at the back at times. Diabate was fantastic, Nacho, Maguire and Silva too were a class above. Good substitutions made, Iborra and Barnes were largely unconvincing and it was the right call to take them off.

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

But he was out wide so was not interfering with play?

 

[Micky]

We were miles better than them. I thought we were excellent all over the pitch though Silva still looks like he needs to get some sharpness in his game and Iborra's distribution is a little frustrating.
Good to see Simpson back and also nice to see Mr Diabate play with such confidence.

 

[homer]

He scored from the rebound ffs, how is that not interfering with play

Of course it's offside !

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

Because the rebound is from an opposition player who is now playing him onside. If it came back off the post I agree he is still offside.

 

[Blue Maniac]

But he was out wide so was not interfering with play?

How did he score if he wasn’t interfering with play?

 

[Orifice]

When Mr Diatribe had a shot in the 5th minute or so and it went flying wide of the goal I thought that he was going to take a while to calm down and get used to the game.
Glad to be wrong. Again.
