Leicester 1-1 Ipswich Post Match Thread

[jonny_wright]

Mads Hermanson’s worst game for us this season by a mile, frantic with his feet, poor from crosses and indecisive…. He’s been phenomenal this season otherwise

STOP ****ING MOANING we can’t win every game 

No. But we should have won this one because we were miles better than them, but we threw it away when we didn't need to. People are going to be frustrated.

Yet again, a decent team spends at least a portion of the game having a go at us and we don’t really handle it. And again we can all see it happening and whoever is stood on the touchline lets it happen. Contrast that with McKenna today.

 

Significant player delta means we beat most of the league anyway, whatever fancy way you try to do it. Southampton aside I’ve seen very little from us tactically to overcome better sides (and even then it’s a completely different beast now).

Don't think Ipswich are even decent tbf. They're a very limited team that works very hard.

It's not the defence that's the issue. 

I had quite a big issue with two centre backs and a hamza basically standing next to each other and giving a centre mid 15 minutes to get a shot away at goal rather than attempting to close him down

Agkun is awful...opinion

Odd take from his cameo in this match, but agree that he hasn’t set the place alight. 

[Always Next Year]

What is the point of playing the ball to the wingers for them to take it a few yards then pass it 30 yards back to Vestergaard and Co to play tip tap with each other, we have cannon up front get the cross in the middle and give ourselves a chance at goal. This was an almost identical game as the one at Ipswich and we don’t seem to have learnt anything from it they refreshed there team and we left it to late to do the same yet again, ok we didn’t lose but feel we missed a chance to put this game to bed

I've been saying this for ages. I just can't see the foolishness in him playing on the right when he's much more effective on the left.

scared he pulled out

Ipswich were shockingly bad first half & showed us too much respect.

 

Enzo keeps saying “It’s Football” but make no mistake still 54 points to play for.

 

Fantastic first half to the season but….

 

We haven’t won nothing yet! 

That weren’t “shockingly bad”. We simply outplayed them. Give credit where due.

Had no issue with Faes and Vesty keeping Coady out up until now.

 

I think this has happened to us enough now for a change and a vocal leader to be given a run of games.

Coady who played in the two relatively recent games prior to tonight where we conceded late goals. Add in the Wednesday game.

Mcteer may be called a 'winger' but did you see him take ONE defender on tonight and cross the ball??  Surely that's a wingers job? No! He received the ball and EVERY time ( he hardly played a forward pass all night ) he passed it backwards.....pathetic!

Yeah I agree, he works hard but he hasn’t got anywhere near the quality we need. He took a great ball down from a long diagonal, got in behind the full back going full pelt and you’re thinking he needs to drive in and get a shot in, he literally did nothing … he isn’t quick, he hasn’t got any skill whatsoever, hasn’t got particularly good delivery, he’s very limited. I would have got Albrighton on much earlier personally.

The wheels are coming off. Loss at Coventry then 9 days to prepare, then throw it away again. You could see it coming, why can’t the manager

Jesus Christ - exact same ludicrous reaction as when we dropped the games against leeds and Boro.  

 

We have played well in both the games you mention - coventry was a bit beyond our control and even then we were still in front with 10 to go, tonight we were up against the best keeper in the league and, allegedly, the best strike force in the league, who got a lucky goal - that's not the wheels coming off!

 

As for 'seeing it coming' - in the last 40 minutes they had 2 shots on target - the goal and the deflected shot it came from - they really didn't look like scoring - conversely  in that period we had 4 shots on target - there really should have been only one winner, but ipswich just seem to get the luck just when it matters.

Yeah I agree we should of won just don’t understand the constant meltdown when we don’t win.

No he's back in a couple of weeks, Wilf was interviewed before the match.

I absolutely hate comments like this. Its not an over reaction at all, people are entitled to feel aggrieved at how that played out so unnecessarily. Another day is irrelevant. We pissed points again.

Simple facts.

Ahhhh so he did have a case of the AFCON's after all....  

[iancognito]

I dont get all the bed-wetting. A month ago we were level with Ipswich swapping 1st and 2nd place. We're 7 clear of them, they're struggling and we're still 3 wins clear of Southampton.

 

You'd think we were 5 without a win.

Not sure they have anyone remotely close to being a Championship version of Kanté, Mahrez and prime Vardy.

Typical overreaction to the result and Southampton form on here.

 

Another day we win convincingly.

 

Southampton on there god like run of 20 games unbeaten run have taken 3 more points then us. 

 

Do we though?

 

Trying to hang on to 1 goal leads and conceding late on is becoming a bit of a worrying theme.

[bmt]

I know he's not 100% but taking KDH was criminal imo. And Cannon had loads left in the tank and looked dangerous. We live and learn

 aye, in isolation that's an issue. In my opinion that's a product of us inviting them on, giving them nothing to worry about and letting them have the ball for half an hour. We were dead on our feet by the end.

Playing these defensive triangles deep in your own half,

when the spaces were there.Turning into traffic and not using

Mavididi has a get out,and using the right side when left was open,

Winks,Ricardo,Choudhury and Vestergaard,great one minute bloody

sloppy the next.

If Akgun had fed Vardy…game over..

Again another deflected shot that caught out Mads,who makes a top save,

but couldnt control his parry..

 

What a great game KDH had,but was tired,and needed subbing..

Has a team Turning away unnecessarily from the left side press allowed

Ipswich back into the game….Faes and Mavididi had the game in their hands

but their teammates didn’t see or appreciate it…

 

Lets not forget this is Enzo’s first season he himself also has to

still learn many a things…

 

Frustrated yes,we had chances,even in the 2nd half to kill it,we have to learn to be more clinical…We are still a 3 game turn of results,ahead of our 2 closest rivals.

That isn’t too bad,being we really has a squad are not the finished article,but still a bloody good one with flaws..
