Leicester City - v - Leeds United ***Matchday Thread***

[Tichi1]

I think he accidentally submitted one of Bielsa's old team sheets - it still has James up front ???

Forshaw only on the bench - despite being one of best performing players at the moment.

Good to see Barndoor named but he will probably injure himself getting onto his seat.

Short memories, I remember when MB took charge back in 2018
First game at home to STOKE - just relagated, stuffed them 3-1 SAME players as previous 13th position season, and we all know where that led - we where so so so unlucky today!
Should easily have had a point, but the old problem of not taking our chances cost us yet again
BUT - We will still get the 12 to 15 points needed I am certain of that.

Good start performance wise, need to start scoring and to get Rapha looking like he gives a s hit to survive IMO

Jesus, the second consecutive game with 19 shots and ZERO goals. As well as missing reasonably clear cut chances there was little effort to get on the end of things. We played a lot of dangerous balls into the box but into thin air - I cannot believe that Rodrigo is really an international centre forward, his ability to get into the right areas to contact the ball is limited.

The commentator actually said "Roberts is just a passenger" well, no change there then. Why did he stay on, all that did was create a distraction. I obviously wouldn't wish harm on anyone, but if his injury happened to keep him out for the rest of the season I wouldn't be too disappointed.

Defended better today, even Firpo made a few clearances. Not sure about Koch in that holding role; he doesn't tackle much and his passing is variable.

You do realise Schmeichel was man of the match due to the amount of saves he made???????????????????????????????

It really comes down to zero recruitment in the summer & Jan. We just didnt help ourselves.

[Tichi1]

Raphinha is an embarassment to the fans, if you can't be arsed then leave.

Spot on! been thinking that since the City game TBH

[Tichi1]

Afraid to say it but we will be relegated, not much changes, lots of chances, many shots, no goals, can't score, opposition takes their chance or chances, we lose...end of....no points again whilst all around us gain some, think we'll even end up bottom, as I can easily see Norwich turning us over next Sunday, as they did in our last 6 pointer with them 2 seasons ago. Yet another rap weekend.

Fu cks sake!!
We where so unlucky today and here we go doom and f ucking gloom everywhere
Get a grip ffs -call yourselve Leeds supporters???

WTF 11 & 11 & 1V & V ...

I actually am not despondent at all.
Previously we’d have lost that one by at least 3 maybe 4.And I know we still lost but.
I did see an improvement.
We were never going to see wholesale changes. The mans only been there 5 days to work with the team.
Changes will happen but subtly.
I have more confidence in playing the teams around us now. Chelsea and Arsenal still might beat us but not by cricket scores.
Yes, Raphinia and Rodrigo need a good kick in the hole and Messlier needs a 12v battery clipped to his nipples. He’s way too lethargic lately.
A centre forward to play in the centre forward position would also be a bonus as would Bumley continuing their losing streak.

Unlucky, but we need more than that, losing Roberts after a few mins, sums things up really.

Lol we were lost when he came on no diffrence. He was lucky to stay on got the dude with the studs.

Maybe he was told to tone it down by Liverpool or another team so they can get him on the cheap.

Wrong thread lad.
Rumours/conspiracies post is the one you’re looking for

[ozleeds]

I have to say they were not much better than us at all and we were unlucky, Worrying trend same as old players and out of position also so why the f did they sack MB?
Next how on earth that wasn't a penalty? He put his hands out the JG bound shot was going in and he tips it out with his fingertips, Enough to get a corner gobsmacked.
His presser after the game was all about me also
Players would have been pumped as it usually happens change of manager hopefully can repeat.
