Post Match Peterborough 1 Leicester 5 (FA cup)

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

Astute substitutions. Rightly did not risk Huth as Benny was doing a good enough job.

Nacho and Diabate look fast and tricky enough to be good replacements if Vardy or Mahrez are injured or suspended.

Stupid yellow card by Iborra when he had other defenders to support him.

Iborra took one for the team. Not stupid, just cynical.

If it was going to be a risk bringing him on, he shouldn't have been on the bench.

Re: rotation, all people want is for the FA Cup to be taken as seriously as league games.

I would hope if we pull, say, United and roll out that lineup people will still be on Puels side of it. I won’t be and hope he’s setting the side up to beat the opposition.

Was lovely to see the young side today and some real quality, I just hope now that we are in last 16 we take it very seriously and start rotating in the league.

I don't understand this whole 'not taking the cup seriously' thing. By definition, we've chosen the correct teams so far because we are still in. If we do draw Manchester United or another top team, I expect Puel will select the correct team once again which will be a lot 'stronger' than today's (on paper at least). Just because he is using his squad doesn't mean that he has no interest in winning silverware.

So, Diabate is the first Leicester debutant to score since Nathan Dyer. ****. I was all excited as well.

I can't remember putting lower league opposiion to bed so quickly in an FA cup game. (I'm sure somebody can remind me )
After 10 minutes, game was all but won.

Did West Ham play a 1st 11 today? Just asking.

 

[City Fan]

Can we put to bed this tired argument of squad rotation now?

Why would we do that? This is a discussion forum isn’t it?

I think Diabete’s performance compared to Barnes will mean that Barnes will get loaned out again before the window closes.

Isn't there a rule that players can only play for two teams during the season?
If that's the case presumably the only place he could go would be Barnsley.

Apparently they didn’t.

Apparently they didn’t.

They'll be concentrating on winning the World Cup, again.

Or is it during one calender year?

Yes. However, some are worth having more than others, especially in the face of an overwhelmingly convincing solution.

On BT sport that genius Michael Owen has just made a part of himself.

A part? Which part? Oh, I presume you mean his dick.

It could have been the arse he was speaking out of.
