City outplayed Brighton for 45 minutes 10 vs. 11. The players AND the manager deserve credit for that.

[SecretPro]

Good second half. 

[HighPeakFox]

Well, who saw such a good 2nd half performance coming? Not me.

[HankMarvin]

Same old story

Why do we seem to only play with attacking intent when we are behind with nothing to lose 

 

A good second half though against the odds

[SecretPro]

Considering the second half it seems a bit criminal to have started the game with Shinji as lone striker. 

[davelcfc100]

Credit to Puel.

[st albans fox]

Immense second half

 

their ambition was poor and they paid for it....... happy to sit on a 1-0 rather than controlling attempting to control the game with an extra man

 

 

[KingsX]

Very poor starting lineup and first half performance.

 

Bloody good and committed second half performance.  The return of the “real” JV.

 

An away point despite our crappiest day of the season.

 

I feel pretty good going into the rest of my day.  And will leave this thread to the moan-for-a-living crowd.

What a boring defensive coach who tried to get a win away with 10 men vs 11.
Maddison In.

[Tom12345]

Could have even won. Congrats boys.

 

If only Ndidi hit that ball harder for Albrington, Albrington could have crossed that ball 1 second earlier for Vardy.

 

Anyway, well done, but disappointed yet again at how we keep shooting ourselves in the foot with red cards and wrong team selection.

[Chester Dontlie]

Haven't been this chuffed for a while after our game. Heroic second half from the lads! Vards was the game changer. Maybe he should have this kind of groin problems more often? Suddenly seemed fresh and lively as in past seasons.
I'm still as undecided with Napuelon as I was months ago but I give him 9/10 for the subs. 1 point that feels like a win, playing with 10 men for most of the game, well done.

I sacked watching the second half off after they started olé-ing us, by the the looks of it we played well after that  

[Guest Col city fan]

 

Puel’s selection at the start was baffling

But somehow we scrape yet another draw...

What dull football though...

Still, a point’s a point 

[AlloverthefloorYesNdidi]

A draw away from home, good result.

Puel out wa wa waaa

[foxfan92]

Pleased with players attitude after Vardy came on but why cant we start with this intent ever?

[rachhere]

Fantastic point considering, especially as pre match so many people said they would be happy with a draw.

 

A few lessons I guess... never underestimate the contribution that Ndidi makes... Nacho and Vardy like they showed last year can play well together... and don't ever question the length of that contract extension for Vardy...even if in a couple of years he only comes on as an impact sub, what a difference he can make.

[HighPeakFox]

I'm livid about Vardy smiling.

Vardy never really left. He just didn’t have much service in previous games. Here, we had to play more direct, and it worked as it suits Vardy much more.

 

Also, Albrington and Ricardo both played excellent direct football. Remember that Albrington didn’t play much until recent games, which coincided with improved form from Vardy.

[Guest Kopfkino]

Thank heavens we had Vardy to come on and lead from the front. He livened up the rest of them and the fans. 

 

Brighton were so bad, makes Puel's typical first half dirge even worse.

[ozleicester]

Vardy IS god

[The Guvnor]

Once again first half crap, second half not so crap.

[urban.spaceman]

The selection for the starting line up had some oddities but please let’s not forget that we also have a game on Tuesday that we have a good chance of winning and going through to the next round. 

[Guest]

Draw would have been a good result before the game. Very good considering we played with 10 men. Need to attack when we have 11.

Ndidi was ok, but Ricardo and Albrington were the engine for chances in the second half. Nacho played well as well and obviously Vardy did fantastically well as, IMO, usual.
