Another tough game, we've got to keep the JSS a fortress. Can see goals from both sides

2-2

I think we'll lose to be honest. I can see us struggling with Leicester's counter attack and know how... but Wagner has already said he expects this, so maybe I should have more faith.

Not really sure what shape Leicester are in tbf, very tough fixtures to begin with, but they've looked alright despite 3 losses from 4. Drinkwater and Fuchs big losses though?

Could really do with avoiding defeat here or it puts pressure on Burnley away next week (and Spurs the week after!).

 

[JimJams]

King starts. What the actual fuck?
We have Iborra on the bench, but King gets in the 11. At least Kelechi starts.

 

[JimJams]

No Huddersfield. Bad club. Naughty.

 

[JimJams]

Silly pen to give away. But I'm ok with that. Suprisingly.

 

[JimJams]

Dodgy lino doesnt call Ince offside on an attack which results in a corner which is eventually turned in in the second or third phase and the lino then incorrectly immediately signals for offside.

Demi on. Beware.

 

[HtfcWArrior]

Fucking bullshit our 2nd goal was never offside, should've taken 3 points of a poor Leicester side... Yet we get fucked over by the Lino

 

[JimJams]

No problem with him not seeing Ince offside in a phase which eventually led to the goal then?

 

[AnkleBiter]

Happy with that, useful point and really positive performance. No doubt we were the better team but I don't feel particular robbed (I haven't seen the disallowed goal though). Enjoyable game and good response to Monday, we had some key players out but their replacements did really well. Depoitre is like a better Grant Holt.

Leicester weren't good today but they're a constant threat with the speed and quality they've got. Any doubts over Shakespeare? Some of the tactics were odd, perhaps it was just an off day and I should give us more credit, but there wasn't much intent on getting the win and the long ball to Vardy was getting ridiculous. I just think you can do a lot better.

 

[JimJams]

King instead of Iborra can only be down to the latter recently overcoming injury.
And Iheanacho and Vardy need time together.
Tactically taking Albrighton off for Gray is fine until you switch out Vardy and Iheanacho for Okazaki and Slimani, so you take off our most productive crosser of the ball while putting on a striker who thrives on, you guessed it, driven passes into feet. I mean crosses.
