MatiC is like a ice breaker ship teamed up with fishing boats

Playing 2 miles in land.

 

[eire-red]

Tuanzebe and Bailly are a bag of nerves so far. They look so far off it for relatively experienced players.

 

[SirAnderson]

I see this is a slag as many players off as you can thread.

Most said without context though really. Lots of factors to any of these players having a bad game, shouldn't be read into heavily.

 

[ArjenIsM3]

Rookie mistake from Amad there

 

[prateik]

Leicester are fecking useless. We'll have to stop playing after 60 minutes to let them win.

 

[kiristao]

Good: Mason Matic

Decent: everybody else

Shaky: Williams Axel

This

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

Has Diallo touched the ball? Come on lad get the ball and run with it

Erm...he set up the goal.

 

[mav_9me]

Or maybe its completely OTT reactionary horseshit.

Ok.

 

[Reapersoul20]

He's a 20 year old left back who hasn't played in ages playing at right back.

Jesus, somebody with a bit of common sense....in the match thread??

 

[Withnail]

I see this is a slag as many players off as you can thread.

Isn't it always?

 

[48 hours]

Jon Moss on the VAR god help us

I just imagine him sitting there tucking into a bag of wotsits , feet up swigging a can of red cola and getting his grubby wotsit stained mitts all over the var computer

He’ll have to explain to his other half why he has an orange cock when he gets home

 

[mitchmouse]

I see this is a slag as many players off as you can thread.

I actually think we've been quite good. I've rather enjoyed the game even if there haven't been many shots on target

 

[Reapersoul20]

Or maybe they are just shit?

Just Cleverly was shit.

 

[Jules_T]

Only 2 shots on target between the 2 teams so far and 2 goals

 

[youngrell]

Never seen Mata with so many loose touches, way off the pace at the moment.

Matic with someone beautiful footwork, though.

 

[charlenefan]

Williams and Bailly have been a car crash

Amad, Elanga and Greenwood all look very nice and lively

If we can keep this at 1-1 with 30 minutes to go bring on the big guns to win it

 

[Stack]

£40m new signing

Well here is hoping he shows us what that price indicates next season.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Isn't that the case in every matchday thread?

It's annoying even more when it is players who rarely get the chance to play and kids and they are doing well.

 

[Withnail]

He's wrong. We went on a 14 game unbeaten streak when Bruno joined last season. We're on 14 games unbeaten right now too.

Yeah, I thought so. That's why I was confused and wasn't sure I heard him right but you can't rewind rivers.

 

[JTW95]

Pretty OK half from us I think. Can definitely see some rustiness with some dodgy passing but considering most of these players have had barely any minutes they are not looking out of place at all.

 

[Inigo Montoya]

Actually considering the line up of Leicester, they are far and away the poorest

 

[Adam-Utd]

great effort by the lads. bit scrappy as expected but holding a full strength 3rd place team is impressive

 

[Dobba]

Dwight Yorke has done nothing.

For his son.

 

[Judas]

Leicester fans must be fuming. Pathetic half from them.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

Good half all things considered.

 

[SirAnderson]

This half really peted out badly. Was a good start, seeing how we could respond going behind with this squad on the field.

 

[abailey123]

Actually quite enjoyed that half. The 2 young lads on either wing have been very good - forward runs, both look full of confidence

 

[big rons sovereign]

Current team scapegoat :
Dan James
Jese Lingard
Fred
Tom Cleverly
Brandon Williams

Cleverly was actually shit, but his absence was pointed to as the reason for our midfield not performing for ages which I always found so hilarious.

Missed Dan James.

 

[TMDaines]

The lads have grown into the game. They have been Leicester’s equal, but both teams below standard. Game there to be won.

Need Greenwood to give us another 15 minutes second half, before we can switch him for Cavani. Leicester will need to push for three points, so Rashford needs to come on to counter too after a while. I’d probably do Bruno for Mata at HT first though.

 

[Antisocial]

Christ, Leicester are useless, can’t even win the first half against us with our reserves

 

[El Zoido]

Why does the BT commentator keep going on about James Maddison as if he’s prime Maradona.

 

[Desert Eagle]

Ftfy

You might be right but that goal was a shocker n he had a couple other iffy moments.

 

[DavidDeSchmikes]

Good half for Matic

 

[AgentSmith]

I thought that was a great 1st half considering the circumstances. Easily matched Leicester.

Matic looks like a man reborn and Greenwood showing his long-term potential as a forward.

Some rough showings elsewhere but it’s to to be expected given the wholesale changes and relative lack of play time for some of the players.

 

[Smores]

Not a high quality game but i think most of the lads have done good.

 

[berbatrick]

impressive half from diallo given how much some others are struggling with the intensity

 

[Tom Cato]

He's a 20 year old left back who hasn't played in ages playing at right back.

Williams is rightfooted. He's a rightback who we played on the left for a bit.

But he IS rusted and haven't had anywhere near enough gametime to get consistency.

Nevertheless, he should be marginally better.

 

[Inigo Montoya]

Apart from two nice goals this match has been far from a spectacle.

Well it’s a spectacle of sorts...

 

[Charlie Foley]

Half time. Leicester are so fragile mentally

 

[slored1]

Leicester so pathetic. Not been impressed by Van de Beek or Mata, but Matic and Greenwood have been both excellent.
