Ipswich (A) 1 - 1 - Boxing Day - Post-Match Thread

[Cadno'r Cymoedd]

No complaints at all. We dominated the first 45 but after the break even before the subs we had started to play overly defensively and they played very well to be honest. Very fortunate goal but only ourselves to blame.

 

Faes was excellent, Coady was good second half and Mavididi was a threat with a great goal. 

 

Still well clear but need to learn a lot still on and off the pitch. Hopefully Enzo will heed the lessons.

Fair result on whole but feckin hell Ipswich had some rub of luck there. Harness should have been off, a blatant penalty and a goal with incredible stake of luck 

Pretty much been how they have been doing things for a few games

They deserved the equaliser but we were pissing about in stoppage time in our own half and gave them a chance to knick the ball. Time and a place for it. 

 

Overall, a point when we could've easily lost is not a bad result. Amazing given the results we've had but could be evern better without 4 last minute points dropped. 

[Corky]

Fair result. Was always going to be a tough game but if you can't win it, don't lose it.

 

Still in a fantastic position.

[JimmyC74]

Disappointed not to take 3 points but I will take the draw and six point gap on second place after half the season.

 

we need to remain ruthless and push on.

 

keep marching on citeh 🙌🙌

You can get away with all those subs when you’re cruising 3-0 up against Rotherham at home but not 1-0 up away at Ipswich 

..and there was no need to sub anyone really. KDH subbed...why????  What benefit??? Daka subbed..( at 60mins!!!! ).why, what benefit

More down to the Nacho sub than Casadei

Sell Nacho. He’s not good enough.

Vestergaard, always said he was shite.

Did we watch the same game? I thought he was our best player together with Faes.

Thought he was actually decent when he came on. Was hampered by a lack of support from Iheanacho and Akgun. 

He lacks any kind of defensive play ie their goal. 

[jv1]

Fair result - decent point but the gaffer has had an absolute stinker with starting coady and then making those subs - honking decisions - on we go 

[Blueman1967]

Subs weaking the side, then we lost control especially when Ndidi got took off. they were all over us second half

[blueharmie]

I'll take the point. Should and was a draw.

Shite ref was a penalty on kdh.

Ipswich are not very good.

Just going down my road letting down all the tires on the tractors.

Denied a clear penalty, but I still prefer a non VAR game. Ipswich celebrating and we look shattered, which tells you everything about expectations 

2 penalties really, clear push on kdh in the first half.

 

Either way, rather incompetence than corruption. Rather watch today than watch a match with VAR.

[adejo92]

If someone would have offered a point away at Ipswich, most would probably have taken it.

 

I don't think it's the result that's frustrating, it's more so the way it's come about.

 

The poor subs by Enzo, the stone wall penalty & us playing poor the whole second half.

 

I've seen much more disappointing results this season than this one. Onwards & upwards.

[Vacamion]

 

Ref should have 2nd yellowed their lad and given us a penalty.

 

He also whistled massively in Ipswich's favour the rest of the game.

 

But bringing on those subs at that stage was a gamble.  A gamble Enzo lost.

 

 

 

 

[eddylcfc]

Massive Enzo fan however that results on him. No midfield when KDH and Ndidi went off. No threat in behind when Kel came on. 
 

The only question I have with Enzo is his willingness to go to the counter attack/longer balls when leading. This play out from the back at all costs is just costing us as we loose the ball way to deeply.

 

Ah well - still top but this feels like a real missed opportunity.

[UniFox21]

Just as infuriating that Morsy avoided about 2 absolute bookings against Leeds last game

Good result and a fair one on balance.

 

Our subs really weakened us, I'd be happy to never see Kelechi in a Leicester shirt ever again.

 

Thought he was going to destroy this league, right now he’s destroying my love for him, he has looked so lazy this season, I really like the guy but he just isn’t offering anything. 
 

Hopefully he gets a move in Jan. 

[winteriscoming]

They were there for the taking. 
Would of took a point before the game. 
We invited pressure second half. 
Bizarre subs second half. 

[kingkisnorbo]

Out the way. Up the city. 

[Batfink77]

Off to pour bleach into my lugholes to see if that'll cleanse them of that sky commentary. Dear god..

[Hollism94]

It amazes me that people thought Nacho was too good to stay when we went down. The guy is the opposite of Vardy in every way. Lazy and brainless.

Next time people talk about how much they love not having VAR, remember this game. 

Still loads better.

[Tom12345]

Lacking ambition in the second part of the second half failed us. Decided to be conservative instead of attacking kept Ipswich in the game.

[The Guvnor]

All went down hill from the 60th min, Burgess foul on KDH was a stonewall pen, not sure what Casadei and Kel added to the performance.
