Great end to the game that, justice was served! I don't know who was the worst, the idiot officials or the classless Leicester fans. Loads of plus points, great performances from Maguire at the back , Daws, Hayden, Taylor looked nearly decent, Jakupovic was almost totally steady. Luer ran his guts out again in the lone strike role. Hope we get Sheff Weds next time up then possibly a semi again, UTT!!
Not to forget Huddlestone who looked better in a different role even if his shooting (or lack of it) was again terrible for a player with his technique
Random fact: If Man City beat Palace tomorrow it''ll be the first time since 1983/84 that there won't be a London club in the 1/4 Finals.
We're going to Wembley again aren't we. It's so ****ing written. It's great and all that don't get me wrong, but I just hate going to London.
You can tell the difference between 17,000 and 18,000? Does the crowd include pass holders if they went or not? Take away the Leicester fans and it was a poor attendance for a game which was so cheap and with a quite a few entitled to free entrance. A sign that the Allams shenanigans have alienated a lot of people?
Dodoo was poor - seemed to lack pace and I can't remember him getting anything right. HIghlight was when he was beaten in the air by Maloney who is only 5 ft 6ins. I thought that Chilwell was OK but struggled when Hernandez and Akpom came on - again, he seemed to lack pace and was slow to turn.
It's so satisfying to be able to say the better team won tonight. Had we not equalised it'd have been a ****ing travesty. Both the talking points looked to go against us, but looking at the replay it's a great run from Vardy and tbf Jak did well to save the initial effort. Maguire said in the post match that the lino had admitted he couldn't see whether the ball had crossed the line (looking at that pic it didn't totally go over) so he'd have had to guess (which even though they seem to do half the time, they apparently can't do when it matters.). All the lads played really well, I can forgive the side to side along the backline tonight as Leicester were well drilled in their marking and it took time to pick a decent pass. Dave and Robbo gave us decent width, but Luer looked a bit isolated up top and I'd have liked to have seen another striker with him (obviously it wasn't an option given the others had played a few days ago). Diame looked frigged and should've been replaced long before he was, the fresh legs of Meyler were a welcome addition. All in all I'm super serial psyched to be through, my Leicester supporting friends think they were hard done by which is even funnier, but not as funny as their long drive home on a Tuesday night following a loss after extra time and penalties.
No it's a sign it was our 3rd home game in a week and just after hull fair week.....Ffs give the Allan crap a rest!
I thought their number 9 was a right ugly bastard, might not sleep tonight after seeing his ugly mug up close!
Not with the new scanner system I doubt, it should all automatic. The ticket office claimed 18500 tickets were sold which would include the free pass holders, so I think a 17k crowd proves that they no longer just count all season ticket holders as attended whether they were there or not. Ticket office could have just pulled a figure out their arse of course.
On the goal that wasn't, I had a clear line of sight and it didn't look in to me, people around agreed. Apart from that the ref and officials were shocking
Looked nearer 20,000 to me. I would suggest that the Leicester fans were not included in the count. Giving some passholders a freebie has backfired a bit and cost the club a few bob. Perhaps they have clawed it back by omitting the away fans? All the same I thought City battered them tonight. The Leicester goal was an injustice as was the 'goal' we scored but wasn't given. Great all round team performance and justice was done in the end, also five excellent penalties from City. Very professional performance all round. Seems a but churlish to find something to moan about after a night like tonight.
Did I really just hear the BBC guy on the League cup rundown say "League 1 Hull City beat Leicester"? I know they're pretty shoddy at times, but really!
