Pre Match - Leicester (H) - Worthington Cup - Wed 19:45

[Jürgen4PM]

Good win by the lads......City losing as well

 

[The Nomad]

Madness. Bar twice. Cleared off the line at least thrice.

 

[dee]

Excellent - happy boy

 

[Modo]

Pretty evident that they won't be able to hang on. 2-3 goals coming

Elliot was never gonna score there.
When I say 2-3 goals...2-3 goals it is.

Why is this thread called Worthington Cup?

 

[Modo]

Really!!! I'm swapping channel

City has a tendency to score like 2 mins after I start watching their games.

I'm guessing Woland 🙂

Very enjoyable game to watch and we go 1-0 down and then score 3 again. Up the mighty REDMEN.

------------------------------- Kelleher

-- Badger -------- Konate ---------- Quansah ----- Tsimikas

------- Elliot ------------------ Endo --------------- Gravenberch

Doak ------------------------ Gakpo ----------------- Jota

Win 3-1 (Jota, Mo & Gakpo)

My second 3-1 on the bounce (and again 2 of the scorers) !

That was a mad game.

Leicester will go home feeling tired, defeated and totally outclassed yet still somewhat happy as it could've been far worse.

I checked the Leicester forum, they blame the ref

Very weak on the ground duels, which is a concern

For fucking what, permitting a dodgy goal?

 

[Modo]

For fucking what, permitting a dodgy goal?

Basically we should have got a red card. They should have had a pen. Never gave us any yellow cards etc. The usual stuff.

"We're playing against 12 men"

 

[Frogfish]

I loved this ref., unlike in the PL, he let so much go (that were usually dives anyway).

 

[Frogfish]

The Greek Scouser has not been terribly good today - again. Is this the future then?

Really? I thought he was just fine, runs through the centre and every single corner (and there were plenty) was on the money.

 

[keniget]

We were quite agressive in our press and challenges and some of them might have been called pushes / fouls by another ref. They also should've had a pen in the second half.

BUT sus goal and Doak pen not given means shut the fuck up. Or basically refer to the Szobo goal.

 

[Frogfish]

Puts hand up ... me me me ! I saw it coming !

I know the goal was offside but still it counted. Set pieces were the only clear positives I could see. Not slagging him off, just noting his form is off currently

 

[Modo]

Kelleher 7

Jones 7
Quansah 8

Doak 6

Subs

Nunez 6.5
Chambers n/a
Bajcetic n/a

He let go of a definite pen too. The foul on Doak

 

[Modo]

City out

No way that was a penalty. None.
