Seem really nervous.

What's happened to Diallo, really off the pace after looking really good since he came in. Is it because we're asking him to play deeper? He did look good when he was turning and going forward in fairness.

Think he’s average and way to diminutive 

[nta786]

I notice we aren’t pressing as much when Leicester playing around their half.
Perhaps we are trying to ensure we don’t tire out so soon.

[adrian lord]

Nervy headless chicken stuff- need to avoid a sending off at this rate

[CB Fry]

Doesn't feel like a match winning display so far.

[Mr X]

Can't get the ball for any sustained period of time 

[Toussaint]

I guess it’s lack of a crowd, but feels surreal and not like an da cup semi. On another note, Leicester look very comfortable and confident they are way better than us.

From either side to be fair.

Vardy making a meal of that

Agreed, then Djenepo did the same.

“We do have Peter Walton today”

As if he the bloke has ever offered any insight 😂

Problem is they are in second gear and this is how we are nowadays 

[Chez]

little ball down the line from then and we immediately look very open. Diallo and JWP have to fill that space in front of the back four better than they have in recent weeks.

[Mr X]

We seem devoid of ideas already... Worrying

By contrast Leicester are chasing everything. Hope that works in our favour.

Yep

[Saint_clark]

When are the cards coming out for all these Leicester fouls then? That's no worse than Diallos, if anything it's worse as he makes proper contact.

[obelisk]

How's that not a yellow then?

[Suhari]

Turgid.

Agreed very frustrating

[adrian lord]

Not one for the neutrals so far..

They don’t believe they can win. Literally just waiting for Leicester to score and they’ll totally collapse.

[Saint_clark]

Get the ball on the wing and immediately looking to go backwards.

Indeed. No different to Diallo's challenge, surely?

maybe, but to me we have chosen to play safe early doors with us clearing our lines and playing it in the corners rather than overplaying it and getting caught.

[Toussaint]

Needs to get diallo off, he’s going to get sent off

Could have done with a neutral ref...

[sydney_saint]

Would love to know how no Leicester players have got booked 

[JustinSFC]

Diallo is having a shocker in this game.

[Saint_clark]

Oh my fucking god, on the break and we ignore the open space in front of us to then back and play it around their players back to our defense.

 

[nta786]

Vestergaard gets across to make good block but he was screaming there!

No one was there on the right tracking the run all followed the ball.

[igsey]

Back from Cornwall just in time to see Redmond put in a piss poor cross, game on.

 

COYS.

[Saints foreva]

Bednarek caught in no man's land there. Lucky Vestergaard was there to clean up. 

[OttawaSaint]

So 2 foxes players have now missed challenges and stood on a player’s foot and no yellow. Refs don’t do themselves any favours, fucking biased cheats. They’ve probably been told to help Leicester so the TV companies can go on about 2 of the teams vying for top 4 are in the cup final.

[Chez]

where the fuck was our defence there.

[Suhari]

Do we want to win, or just not get stuffed?

[Saint_clark]

Djenepo shows what he can do if he actually tries to go forward.

Good. Screw the neutral. Annoy these twats instead.

Look like they don’t believe they can win and hope to get away with a 2-0 or 3-0 and say, “oh well at least we didn’t get stuffed”.

I know it doesn’t make for good viewing, and will likely teether on giving me a heart attack.

But I would take a 11% possession, only 2 shots all game but a 1-0 win right now!!!!

[Chez]

scary seeing Vardy getting a one on one with Bednarek there. Thankfully he didnt get it under.

[Saint_clark]

Another studs up one from Leciester with no booking.

[Mr X]

We are playing like we are scared of Leicester and it's hindering us severely! 

[Saint_clark]

Nothing is sticking up front, Ings and Redmond and losing it immediately. Should be playing Adams.

 

[obelisk]

Foxes getting away with plenty of rough stuff.

[OttawaSaint]

Saints look like me trying to play fifa, panicking and pressing all the wrong buttons.

[Saint_clark]

Our clearing headers from centrebacks almost never go to our own players, they just focus on getting them as far as possible when more often than not they can just nod it down for a nearby teammate.

[nta786]

It’s amazing what confidence does to you.

If this game was played in October/November 2020 I doubt we would have looked as timid as we are. 
However, it’s 0-0 and for as long as it remains that way then we are still in it

[Saint_clark]

How is that not a foul on Ings???

[Mr X]

Nearly carved open then

[Fan The Flames]

Vardy is a weasel face cunt
