And cags was rewarded by being dropped …..

3rd most apps in the squad, behind Kasper and Maddison. However his played 3322 minutes compared to 2614 minutes for Maddison.

 

Plus two game for Turkey in the break, so more than due a rest.

Agree, he wasn't "dropped" That said, I'm not sure he's now an automatic first choice. I think we now have the much hallowed situation of 'squad rotation'

Our first choice back two are Johnny and wes.  dress it up how you like but that’s how it is.  Dropped?  rested ? It matters not

Then why bring it up? :thumbup:

 

To be fair you are right, but isn't it nice to have choices.

It was a bit of a throw away comment on the back of him being in the whoscored TOTM - it may well be that he was tired  - otherwise surely he would have been first change i/o amartey??

The Guardian
Barnes and Iheanacho fail to take chances as Leicester are held by PSV

It was not the perfect evening for Leicester but it would be foolish to be too downbeat on a European night when they largely muted a free-scoring PSV team that have put four and five goals past opponents in recent weeks.

The again impressive Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall compared it to a chess match and Brendan Rodgers was rightly encouraged by his side’s vibrant display, even if they failed to find a priceless winner to take to the Netherlands. For supporters, this was a lively contest that served to further whet the appetite for their second-leg meeting in Eindhoven next week, when a semi-final berth in the inaugural Europa Conference League will be up for grabs.

This was Leicester’s first European quarter-final since they exited the Champions League against Atlético Madrid under Craig Shakespeare five years ago and while it would not be their competition of choice Rodgers had stressed that his side are in no position to turn their noses up at the prospect of a trophy.

 

The Daily Mail
Leicester left to rue big misses in goalless stalemate with PSV

Leicester City were left to rue the near misses that mean they face a huge task against PSV Eindhoven next week to reach the first European semi-final in their history.

Kelechi Iheanacho shot wide with only the goalkeeper to beat and Harvey Barnes hit the bar in the closing minutes of the half, meaning Leicester must prevail in Holland to progress to the last four of the Europa Conference League, though they also had fortune on their side when PSV were denied what looked a clear penalty, with VAR not in use until the Final.

PSV deserved at least a draw from an absorbing game, after Mario Gotze also went close early on. ‘It was a clear penalty,’ said PSV coach Roger Schmidt. ‘But I’m not a big fan of VAR so I can’t complain.’

 

 

 

Sky Sports
Europa Conference League quarter-final finely poised after goalless first leg

Leicester and PSV played out an entertaining goalless draw at the King Power Stadium to leave their Europa Conference League quarter-final finely poised ahead of next week's second leg.

Harvey Barnes hit the bar with a thunderous drive in the first half in what was Leicester's best opportunity of the match, but Brendan Rodgers' side could not find the breakthrough ahead of Thursday's return trip to the Netherlands.

PSV, featuring 2014 World Cup winner Mario Gotze, started brightly and went closest when the German was played through on goal after beating the offside trap in just the second minute, only to see his effort thwarted by the outstretched Kasper Schmeichel.

 

 

The Independent
Leicester held by PSV in frustrating first-leg Europa Conference League draw

Leicester missed the chance to take control of their Europa Conference Leaguequarter-final after drawing 0-0 with PSV.

The Foxes head to Eindhoven next week without a precious advantage following an even and competitive first leg at the King Power Stadium.

Harvey Barnes hit the bar and Kelechi Iheanacho missed a golden first-half chance to give Leicester crucial breathing space.

 

 

 

BBC Sport
Leicester's Europa Conference League quarter-final is finely poised after a goalless first leg against PSV Eindhoven at the King Power Stadium.

Brendan Rodgers' side have endured an inconsistent season but keep alive their hopes of lifting silverware come the end of the campaign.

The hosts came closest to breaking the deadlock on the stroke of half-time but lively winger Harvey Barnes rattled the crossbar following a one-two with Kelechi Iheanacho.

PSV twitter referring to the stadium as IKEA Leicester.

Spoke to a couple of away fans in the Bobby Peel after the game. They said how terrible the atmosphere was - not what we expect from England was the exact phrase - and I didn't have the heart to outline how this is essentially what we're aiming for as a club. A nice, sanitised, clean atmosphere.

 

I imagine theirs will be rocking based on last night's showing.

Struggling to remember other Old Trafford when PSV have played in England cos they’ve got some outdated view of what English stadiums are like

They played Arsenal a few times at Highbury in the early 2000s

Just shows how out of date their perception is tbh. The entire Premier League is more or less the same. 

True enough but ours was particularly poor given the occasion. 

 

There's no quick fix though. I think the new stand might help keep some noise in if the roof is curved to help acoustics.

This is in part trouble you hear people say it was decent in this section and that section but the rest of the ground was quiet, the sound doesn't seem to travel very well. 

 

New stand can also allow for a bit off movement season ticket wise, people in the right areas etc and give a chance for a safe standing and singing section (Hopefully) which will help.
