Willo South coast - west of Brighton. 02 Apr 23 11.10am
Originally posted by taylors lovechild In recent seasons I've hated it when we've played Leicester because of how well they've pressed our midfield and backline into mistakes, while they tormented our fullbacks. None of that was on display yesterday. I have no idea what has gone on with their spending but the fact they are on an FFP watchlist despite selling Fofana for 85m suggests their success in recent years was built on sand. I can only imagine Rodgers saw the MotD highlights reel rather than the game when he said they were unlucky!! To the best of my knowledge, Leicester have acquired 6 players this season,including 1 on loan, with an outlay which could reach around £55 Mill. One of those players was central defender Harry Souttar who cost £15 Mill rising to £20 Mill.His weaknesses were there for all to see yesterday.

I don't really get Rodgers feeling hard done by, they were beaten by the better team. They defended well, and he made the right call with the HT substitution, then the sucker punch, but they were not hard done by. I notice HT subs making the difference elsewhere, I never got PVs subs and Roys are usually late on, ok this time it worked. Give the opposition something to think about, don't give them an advantage.

Originally posted by Willo Leicester were at their best in recent seasons when they had the likes of Vardy and Tielemans firing on all cylinders.In defence they had Fofana,Evans and Soyuncu.Pereira was an attacking threat and Schmeichel was in goal. Vardy has only scored 4 goals this season in 32 appearances.His goal return in the previous 3 seasons has been 17,17 and 23. Leicester are a pale shadow of the team that finished 8th,8th and 5th in the last 3 campaigns. Edited by Willo (02 Apr 2023 10.35am) It's shocking just how much the quality in their side has diminished in such a short time. Evidently they have money issues. If they can fall from grace in the way that they have, it could very conceivably happen to us. We aspire to be a club that buys players, develops them, and sells them on at a profit. Whilst I agree this is the right way to go, you only need to look at Southampton and Leicester to see that you can't necessarily go on forever unearthing talent to replace the outgoings.

Just want to add.... Harry Souter... he's a bit s*** isn't he? Just grabs handfuls of shirt, flesh, hair etc. He did it all game. Watching that winning goal back, you can see it's all he had to offer as last line of defence, and epitomised his 90 minutes. Less than a year ago they had Wesley Fofana. How times change.

Give the opposition something to think about, don't give them an advantage. Standard manager response. How many times did Vieira claim we deserved more from a game? Post match interviews are a waste of time. Was it a penalty? A. All day. B. Not a chance.

It's funny, because predicting our most expensive centre forward to have a shot shouldn't really be an outrageous bet... and yet going back a couple of weeks....

He is 6ft 6in and can pass a ball out of defence but he is certainly not the quickest or most agile and can be exposed on the turn.His weaknesses were there for all to see yesterday.

Originally posted by Teddy Eagle Was it a penalty? A. All day. B. Not a chance. Could some kind, tolerant person tell me what this is about? It was commented on in Leicester's match thread, with one fan saying that if it had been the other way round, their players would have been surrounding the referee. I was at the match (or I thought I was), but I can't remember any penalty controversy. I've got a niggling doubt about the free kick for our first goal, and a stronger doubt about the non-free kick against Andersen just outside our area. But penalty?

Leicester have won the league and the cup in the last ten years, have a billionaire owner and a new stadium but ultimately face the same FFP restrictions of all clubs limited by stadium size and worldwide fan base. But you look at their squad and they really shouldn’t be in the bottom three. So well done Brendan. We changed our manager they didn’t and we picked up the three points.
