Leicester City Carabao Cup Match Thread

[KunDB]

CITY IX | Bravo, Danilo, Gündogan, Mangala, Bernardo, Adarabioyo, Jesus, Zinchenko, Touré (C), Foden, Diaz

SUBS | Ederson, Walker, Delph, Sané, Nmecha, Duhaney, Dele-Bashiru

Good to see the chances for Adarabioyo, Zinchenko, Foden, Diaz

C'mon City

Yes, should have been more like that earlier in the competition really. It will need to be similar if we get through to the two leg semi. It's daft still having a two leg semi. Leicester playing a much weakened side too so it's game on.

[Gareth]

I would've thought Leicester could really go for this, knowing City would surely rotate their squad. They aren't in Europe and really can't have serious relegation worries. But no, they also have rotated some of their regular 1st XI. So, no Kasper, but Kelechi plays.

Leicester: Hamer; Amartey, Dragović, Maguire, Fuchs; Albrighton, King, Iborra, Chilwell; Okazaki, Iheanacho.

Subs: Jakupović, Simpson, Benalouane, Gray, Mahrez, Vardy, Ulloa

[Swiss]

Could be a really competitive game!

[Rowley Birkin QC]

Pretty good game so far.

[gavin]

Happy to see us leading. But I'd like to see players like Yaya giving more of a lead to the youngsters. Bernard has been hit and miss. Just hope we don't concede. Extra time has to be a no no.

[The Blue Blooded Maniac]

Zinchenko looks good

[KunDB]

Hopefully, this will sharpen up some players games eg Bernardo.

[Rowley Birkin QC]

Don't look terribly comfortable with these long throws do we?

[Gareth]

Vardy and Mahrez on...

[KunDB]

Referee Madeley is useless.

[Rowley Birkin QC]

Not overly impressed with Jesus so far. Some poor passing.

[KunDB]

8 minutes extra time for Madleys imaginary stoppages.

[Rowley Birkin QC]

Struggling to keep possession these last few minutes.

[KunDB]

Followed by an imaginary penalty awarded by Madley?

[Rowley Birkin QC]

Pep will not be happy. Too many wayward passes or over-ambitious long balls. Not controlling the game.

[KunDB]

Madeley the same ref who controversially sent Walker off against Everton - strange that.

[gavin]

Dunno where he got that 8 minutes. Then to give that penalty was a joke. Disgraceful.

[Rowley Birkin QC]

Disappointing performance after a promising first half. Looking out of ideas by the close of the second half. Down to the lottery of penalties then...

[gavin]

Considering the amount of matches I've watched where teams time waste against us and the ref gives 4 minutes, I am absolutely incredulous that he gave 8 minutes there.
