Match Day Thread Leicester City v Sunderland AFC – Tuesday 24th October 2023 - KO 20:00

Yeah have to say I didn't see anything in it on first viewing, none of our players apart from Neil made anything of it.

 

I'm trying desperately to give Burstow the benefit of the doubt as he's a young kid, but I'm not seeing the runs, the instinctive moves around the box. Is it confidence? Or just to big a step up?

 

****ing **** goal to concede. O'Nien ball watching AGAIN and losing his man.
Leicester should be out of sight, but we've created chances, just lacking that natural No.9

Not playing Pritch tonight is a ****ing Joke

Think it's time Seelt comes into the team for O'Nien.

 

Keith Stroud running behind players to block his own view of the pen. Absolute joke of a man.

 

It’s ok though. An apology from the pgmol will sort it out

 

He's getting zero service. Couple of times Roberts could have played him in but insists on twisting and turning by which time Burstow is offside or out of position. How any actual chances has he had? Not playing to his strengths

 

With Neil pushing so high up the pitch we need Jobe to be switched on more than he is, also lost his man at the corner.

Still, I think we'll score in this game and Leicester look worried when we play it around their centre backs.

We should target those two but not with height, I'd get Rusyn on for the second half and get them spinning.

 

Hope we stay in the game while before they score again. Keep it interesting

 

Think we need to get just a little bit more combative/nasty in the second half. Lads are working hard, just not quite coming together yet. Their keeper has another big mistake in him too.

 

So Hull beat Leicester by not zonal marking? They marked man for man, I'm pretty sure we have that in our locker to do that. Where was the lino for that penalty shout?

 

Must be an optical illusion on the ball as well because it doesn't change direction at all.

You do wonder if it was in Neil's mind to say "That's a ****ing foul ref" before deciding not to appeal too strongly in case he hurt the refs feelings.

 

Honestly, looking at the replay from the touch line camera, it looks like he has a clear view. But his linesman is on that side too and looking straight at it with nothing blocking

 

I'm not sure what he's strengths are, he's not making those runs across defenders or in behind, when he does get the ball he just looks a bit lost

 

Everyone seems to have to try and beat a man before they think about moving the ball on.

 

Not sure they should be out of sight, theyve had 2 really good chances after their goal but weve missed some really good opportunities as well

Pritchard isnt starting as you need players who can cover ground against this team n that doesnt suit him

He will come on n make a difference as hes so dangerous when the game opens up but we need energy to press them like we have

 

Definitely. Keep it at 0-1 for first 15 mins of 2nd half. DO NOT concede early.

Got to be stronger at set pieces and stop giving the ****ing ball away in midfield

 

Aye that will make us feel better. Never any consequences for these mugs. Even give them technology to help them out in the prem and they are somehow worse at their jobs. They are ruining the game for everyone

 

Just want a game where the officials don't decide to make it about themselves. Think it's 3 games in a row now.

 

Should be 3-0 up. I'd call that out of sight. Hopefully we can capitalise like teams do against us

 

Eventful first half. Lucky not to be 3 down yet unlucky not to be at least level.
