McNaughton was defo your best player, but like Dyer can be for us, after exhilarating runs, his end product disappointed. By the way, at least two of your players injured themselves fouling ours! The injuries were self inflicted. I didn't feel too worried at any point...and I'm normally a nervous wreck during games!...so I don't think you were particular threatening at all. And regarding the "£" we've spent...as I said, £10m doesn't buy you a team of Barca's standard, but it does buy you a team that will win us points, 8 out of 12 is not bad, especially considering we've played Cardiff away, Brighton and Southampton.
So you end up with marginally more possession and a handful of shots on goal more and we "parked the bus"?? F'#k me, I know some fans can be one eyed but c'mon... we had our team disrupted by injuries in the first half, had a striker who was practically hopping around on one leg for the last 15 - 20 minutes and still managed to cause you enough problems for about 30 minutes of the 2nd half to prompt Sven into some rather hurried substitiutions.... A draw was a fair result overall and you were unlucky not to nick it in injurytime when you hit the bar... that aside, neither side really deserved to win it. As a foot note, do you not think that if Whitts free kick had been 6 inches further to the left we would have been 1 up? Shmeichel never moved and I don't think for 1 minute that was down to confidence it was going wide Most on here seem fair minded and are happy to call it as it was, SOME need to get their heads out of their butts and stop kissing themselves
Fair comments there. Cardiff didn't "park the bus", for 30 mins of the match they attacked us. Toothlessly, but attacked us nevertheless. I don't think Cardiff are a bad side, making the point all the more valuable. Two top ten teams I'm sure.
Gangsta - I'll take that as a back handed compliment... we certainly weren't at our best yesterday and I am happy with a point (especially in light of Vassell's 2 misses late on).. I just hope that out injury crisis isn't as bad as it appeared at the final whistle as our game v Southampton on Wednesday is likely to be just as tough going!! I have built up alot of respect for Leicester and their fans over the last couple of seasons, I just hope the new found wealth doesn't turn you into a bunch of arrogant to##ers who end up on par with Weeds and Florist as most obnoxious and up themselves fans in teh division!
Nothing backhanded about it sir. Cardiff has consistently been one of the toughest away fixtures over the last few years, hence I think it was a good point. Regarding turning into one of those clubs, can't see it happening - Leicester fans are naturally downbeat and cynical after too many years of not being good enough. Fans of those clubs are bought up to believe they're better than they are because they won major trophies in their past - the fact that dinosaurs were walking the Earth when they did doesn't compute with them and they seem oblivious to the fact they're now in the same league as the likes of Peterbrough and Doncaster.
You were obviously in a pub, but if you thought " We were good today, apart from not scoring" You need to take more water with it, either that or you are easily satisfied. It started off fairly even then Cardiff were disrupted by injuries and Leicester were the better side for the last 30 or so minutes of the first half. Cardiff were much the better side for the second half, apart from the last ten minutes when they were effectively down to 10 men as Gestede could barely walk. I'm sure both sides can play a lot better than they showed yesterday, as both teams were poor, Cardiff at least can say they were disrupted by injuries.........what's Leicester's excuse?
We dominated for most of the first half because Cardiff dropped right off giving Leicester lots of time and space to move forward. Its obvious that Cardiff got a rollocking at half time as they came out with a different game plan, closing down that space. In response, our midfield seemed to run out of ideas and couldn't get their passing game going. We only seemed to kick on again the last 10 mins when Cardiff ran out of subs and had a lame 11th man. On the positive, Johnson showed signs that he is a player capable of creating something from nothing and now just needs to get some match fitness before his class really shows. Mills also who looks to be improving with each game.
Your players injured themselves fouling our players, so if you were "effectively down to 10 men", you brought in onto yourselves. The home side SHOULD dominate possession in a match, so to say you did this for 1/3 of the game is hardly a mighty achievement. Over 90 minutes, we had higher possession and more shots on and off target, so the only thing we need an "excuse" for is failure to score.
