Match Thread Sheffield United v Leicester (League Cup)

[popillius]

Slimani must be ****ing seething at this.

He works his bollocks off to get the ball and play it wide and then receives nothing in return.

I agree. Slimani has been excellent as far as he can be with some of the rubbish offerings around him. I'd be surprised if he wasn't furious with the lack of support he is getting.

Musa has been better since the worst 10 minutes of football by any player in a City shirt since Schlupp Vs Porto. Gray has been wasteful, lazy and has a face like a smacked arse. He needs to get over himself. Ulloa? Is he even on the pitch?

 

[Brown Nose]

He does makes some stupid unnecessary challenges tho'.

I don't mind that. I like a dirty forward.

And don't forget that Vardy is a nasty piece of work. It was him that finished Van Dyke's season in January for example with a very deliberate and unnecessary stamp.

 

[fitz]

Perhaps I am being a bit unfair. I think my badly made point is that we can't really look to anyone we signed last summer for strength or improvement.

And we've signed one good player this summer. Agreed it's shit business so far.

 

[Micky]

Slimani has been good despite the limited supply.
Ulloa has offered nothing.
Gray needs to realise that he has to put the graft in if he wants to be a footballer.
Maguire has been good.
Chilwell has been good.
Musa has not been as bad as people suggest.
King has been king.
Ndidi has gone backwards but has done ok.
The rest I can't be arsed to comment on.

 

[SilverFox]

We should get Pressman back. Widest man I have ever seen.

 

[homer]

45 minutes of shit

Gray, Ulloa, King, Musa. Complete dogshit, the lot of 'em

 

[Micky]

To add, cannot believe how incredibly shit Ulloa has been. People slate Musa and Leonardo is strolling around doing absolutely nothing.

 

[Rock Fox]

Ulloa metamorphosising into a total shit lump.

Until you pointed that out, I thought Ulloa was sat on the bench - and comedy gold from Musa. Having said that they will probablyboth score in the second half after Slimani has been sent off.

 

[glyn]

And we've signed one good player this summer.

I'd say we might have signed 3 good players, but two of them are injured.

Yep. Why in the world of **** we worked to keep him I will never understand.

 

[Rock Fox]

Bring back big Waz....

 

[LudlowFox]

We've not really been troubled, despite them apparently having had more shots on target (though I suspect that says more about us being absent up front than SU being sharper)

Only sub I might see is one or other of Ulloa / Slimani - for purely tactical reasons Sure, we're pretty poor but they're offering no real threat either. If it's still looking lifeless at 60 minutes then look to bring Okazaki or Mahrez on.

 

[Brown Nose]

How many people that are not fans of Leicester or Sheff Utd will actually be tuning into the second half of this shitefest?

Single figures? Maybe it's on in a care home where the residents cannot change the channel.

 

[Feriol]

Musa looks the most dangerous player, but lacking composure.

 

[Brown Nose]

Is now a good time to point out that our starting line up cost almost £100m?

 

[fitz]

Musa looks the most dangerous player, but lacking composure.

Yup. Out of position too. Stick any ****er on the right wing second half and let him go up top with Salami.

 

[fitz]

I'd say we might have signed 3 good players, but two of them are injured.

Might never know

 

[Ike O'Noclassed]

Musa looks the most dangerous player, but lacking composure.

Lacking confidence, trying too hard - but virtually the only LCFC player who looks like something might happen when he gets the ball.

 

[Jeff]

Ouch

I wonder if I can get crowdfunding to start a company with the sole object of sponsoring this competition. If so I'll call it Meaningless Limited, and we can have the Meaningless Cup.
