Leicester City 1 - 0 Newcastle United - 14/03/16 - post match reaction from p.44


Recommended Posts

The touch, movement and interplay from Leicester's front three is lightyears ahead of anything we've produced in ages. They defend well and are set up well in midfield.

 

They're a bloody good side.

 

They are very quick in the final third which makes a huge difference.

 

Yep, just force you back with real speed. Makes them look dangerous every time they have the ball. It's not as it if they're a collection of gifted players; just good ones set up brilliantly and full of confidence. Makes football look so easy.

Leicester are indeed class. If this was under McClaren we would be 3 - 0 down at least.

 

Think we are doing very well. Optimism has seemingly given way to madness with some of the comments on here about our performance. Crazy shit.

Not bad, actually.

 

Much more organization so far. Shelvey has been too far back to do much going forward. Clearly tasked to be more of a shield. Anita is a jack of no trades, master of absolutely none.

 

Rafa has tried to keep it simple. Longer balls to start the attacks. We have gotten it into a few dangerous positions but we look so bereft of confidence upfront.

 

Pressing has been pretty well deployed. Mitrovic has been good in his role, too. Wouldn't mind seeing Townsend and de Jong off the bench at the 60 minute mark.

 

We have largely neutralized them, though, with a truly diabolical defence. So not too bad.

Think Mahrez is really gifted actually. Even the little things he does are so classy, and he makes it look easy.

Huge improvement from our recent showings. The team is fighting for each other and working as a unit. Really impressed how much of a difference you can see after only a few days with Rafa. The scoreline doesn't really reflect the match at all.

 

If I were Sunderland I would be nervous as fuck.

 

I don't know about that, we look powder puff up front.

I meant more as a group but you are right, love players that just glide on the ball like him.

Anita such a nothing player in that first half :lol: Might as well not have been out there.  Get Saivet on

 

Not much between him or Shelvey IMO. As in, neither were particularly good.

I think we've done ok. Colback toilet as usual. We know that our squad is poor and fingers should definitely be pointed at Carr and Charnley for allowing this to happen.

 

Pretty much this. We are playing the best team in the league, considering the shite we have out on the field I think we're doing great. Having said that, 6-1 man city sits deep in my memory. We have capitulated so often in the 2nd half of games, would love to see us come out and just... not collapse.

They have a few exceptional players, Kante is the find of the season, even over Mahrez.

 

We're still in this, I wouldn't say unlucky to be losing.. fucking Colback weak as fuck for that header. Apart from that it's been even enough.

 

Rafa will drive this point home, I think Sissoko will be taken off as he's added nothing really, at least Gini is capable of picking out a pass.
