Match Thread Rennes v Leicester

[homer]

Poor lad has played far too much football.

And he‘s not our worst player on the pitch

Poor lad has played far too much football.

Yep. Put Justin back on the left for **** sake and play Ricardo at RB. It's not difficult.

I really feel for Thomas.

 

[homer]

Yep. Out Justin back on the left for **** sake and play Ricardo at RB. It's not difficult.

I really feel for Thomas.

Justin’s defensive positioning has been atrocious

Justin’s defensive positioning has been atrocious

I do agree but I think him on the left where he played so brilliantly before his injury, with Ricardo on the right would be better than flogging the shit out of a confidence bereft Thomas.

 

[Lako42]

Like you, …

No, I'm the ****ing business

 

[popillius]

It more often than not is

Nope. He defended excellently before his injury. His positioning was one of his strengths.

Today however, you're correct. It's complete horse shit.

 

[Micky]

I'll say it again, Fofana is the best central defensive prospect I have ever seen.

And yes, we have missed him hugely.

 

[H T B]

Nobody is having a bad game, despite what others think.

That is the most intimidating atmosphere i'v ever seen for a City game.

Personally think it was Albrighton's naivety that cost us the goal.
He was the wrong side of the player to rob the ball, got injured as a result, left JJ 1 v2 .
Low hard cross into the box, goal. {scorer didn't know where the ball was]
Since then though, our work rate has been bloody good, and we are actually creating chances. [more than they are]

Our set pieces have been below par, though, KDH has got the Madders lurgy

 

[Miles Away]

I'll say it again, Fofana is the best central defensive prospect I have ever seen.

And yes, we have missed him hugely.

He’s an incredible footballer. One of the best prospects in world football.

 

[H T B]

Nacho is showing how well he can hold the ball up, just need someone to support him !

 

[Micky]

Maddison and Pereira on?

 

[camberwell fox]

No, I'm the ****ing business

A turd, like?

 

[H T B]

Maddison and Pereira on?

For who?

 

[Brown Nose]

Well, I think we've done better than we did in the first leg. We need more composure on the ball and our set piece delivery is dreadful, but apart from that, we're very unfortunate to be behind.

Fofana has put in a quite extraordinary performance given the circumstances. However, please, please, don't overplay him. He cannot be left out there much longer.

Thomas poor again. Yet again we concede because he cannot judge a basic header. The number of times the ball goes over his head is ridiculous.

I'm more confident now than I was at the start though. Plenty in this for us.

 

[KetteringPete2]

What the **** is up with Tielemans?

 

[homer]

What the **** is up with Tielemans?

He couldn’t make the trip, sadly

 

[Jeff]

Yep. Put Justin back on the left for **** sake and play Ricardo at RB. It's not difficult.

Assuming they're fit enough to last the game - and potentially another 30 minutes.

 

[SJN-Fox]

For who?

Thomas and Fofana.

 

[Micky]

For who?

Thomas and someone.
