MDT Peacock vs Foxes

Well done Ice Ice Baby!!!

Foxes are a good side. Destroyed Man Poo 4-2 this season, beat us 1-4 at ER last season. Normally dominate possession having 55%-65% of the ball.

Very impressed and proud with our performance. We had 60% of the ball, 15 shots on goal to their 5, 5 on target to their 3 and we looked full of running like the MB LUFC teams of before!

Great game to watch.

Maybe a top notch striker is needed and maybe a real No.10.

Still I expected us to get beat before the game so a point is wonderful!

Not looking forward to another 'Roberts' situation on our hands with Forshaw....

It's only NOW that fans are seeing that Roberts isn't the answer after 2yrs of potential.... and he's STILL being played by the best manager in the world!

Forshaw will probably be first pick now and not do anything of any real note and we'll say 'give him a chance as he's still not fit yet' for about 20 games (if he stays fit).... what happened when he played a 20 odd game in the Championship!? He slowed the game down and did nothing of any note and 99% of our fans slaughtered him.... he's now a Premier player after 2yrs out injured and suddenly he's our new Messi!

Surely Bate is a better player to try with his potential as we're definitely not going down whatever! We need an upgrade on Forshaw and Bate COULD be that man....

I keep saying I hope Forshaw becomes a legend because I WANT him to be a success....

This isn't being negative because I keep saying we're not going down, we've got the best manager in the world and how well we played today and hopefully the fluid football will be back now.... this is saying that I don't think 2 players are good enough for our squad so read this properly and don't take out of context.

I just can't fkn see that Forshaw is our fkn new playmaker and fkn don't want us wasting fkn 20 odd fkn games before we fkn agree that I was fkn correct in the first fkn place.....like I fkn was/am about fkn Roberts

TC10, unfortunately facts are that we haven't got another midfield player like you describe in our squad.

To me Forshaw made a big difference, today for virtually the first time this season, Philips was not having to run the midfield area on his own.

Ideally we would have got an able replacement on for Forshaw after 70odd minutes.

Not sure how Dallas switching off led to the disallowed goal? A) it should not have been a corner in the first place (Coops was fouled), B) Philips lost the header vs Vardy, C) while Meslier was as per usual in no-mens land D) if Dallas had been any closer to Lookman, it wouldn't not have been offside.

In truth they're were plenty of moments that several players switched off, very early on Llorente nearly gave away a goal (after which he didn't put a foot wrong), Coops on at least 2 occasions could have cost us, Meslier had a big let off too.

That's even with us totally neglecting the fact that Harrison, Rodrigo and James all missed some big chances.

Being harsh, one could even argue that both Rodrigo and Raphina had far less of an impact in the second half.

But hey TC, I'm totally with you. On this performance we won't get into trouble.

And we obviously need(ed) a quality midfield player to play with and or replace Philips and for sure another goalscoring nr. 9.

In truth, I'm not sure we've solved the left back and goalkeeper (back up) situation just yet. But at least Dallas is nearing his usual form again, and we've got Drameh as another option at RB and today proved that PS can fill in at left back.

Anyway, after this performance i'm feeling much more comfortable!

MOT

Forshaw was mom

and I said 1-1

Forshaw made the difference today! We were more fluid in midfield.

The game was there for the taking, but let down by some very poor shooting, James and Harrison, in particular.

Very 'trendy' to say that Forshaw, a midfielder who hardly gets on the ball, and when he does, passes it sideways and just keeps easy possession.... we can't see the running he does off the ball on the TV.

Yes, he did OK after a long time out, but nothing special! It's like when Roberts comes on and does MARGINALLY better than his usual ineffectiveness....

In this day and age a midfielder HAS to be able to do more for a team like us. Kalvin can pass the ball 50yds AND do the hard work.... albeit not up to his usual standards at the moment.

Forshaw struggled in the Championship when he had a LONG run of games. I just hope Bielsa doesn't give him an extended run however poorly he plays ala Roberts.

I'd LOVE Forshaw to go on and be a legend but we just need Kalvin back on form and need him as the ONLY holding midfielder....

Dallas was also very lucky in switching off from Lookman for the offside goal....

That's my negative report over and overall I thought we were excellent. We had our intensity back, the pressing was superb and the quick running off the ball and passing was back.... it was just the final ball and clinical finishing missing.

I'm not in the least worried about relegation and sure we'll put a run together and finish mid table....

It just proves that we need a creative midfielder to give us a spark with Raphinha and a mixture of Rodrigo, James and Harrison making chances for Hattrick. We need, and have been saying for 2yrs now, a replacement for Bamford to cover him and add competition. Citeh can get away with not having an out and out striker because of their quality.... we can't yet.

Very happy with our overall performance and much rather be an entertaining team on a rollercoaster than 7/8 of the Premier clubs who don't even get a mention....

Dallas getting his mojo back

Got to say I thought Forshaw was Championship material at best. Pass be that humble flavoured pie.

At last, a performance on the front foot. It's true that we did get away with a few at the back but having said that, we should have scored a few ourselves.

Great to see Harrison back to his old form and hats off to James who also ran his socks off.

I give Forshaw a special mention. I personally wrote him off last season ( and probably before) on the assumption that his ongoing injury crises would never allow him to fully function in a Bielsa ball side. Well I got that wrong and credit goes to him, the medical team and the Master who kept faith in him.

Looked far more like the Leeds of last season.

So much energy and drive, best I've seen us thus far.

What makes it more impres sive is that we bossed a very good Leicester side.

Philips and Forshaw dominated midfield. That's more like it Kalvin. Forshaw ran himself into the ground and cramped up.

We need to become far more clinical, it will take more than just fine tuning ICE.

Someone like Joffy would have put one of those chances away.

Today we again displayed a tendency to bring trouble onto ourselves.

The number of times we miscontroled, gave away needless corners will get punished. Today we got away with a few of those.

We need Bamford back ASAP.

Having said that, if we perform like today, we shouldn't get sucked into a relegation battle.

Ice, Ice Baby!!

Keep 'em coming Viking dude 😁

agree on Forshaw

A 1-1 draw. Probably the right result. Harrison and James should really have scored. And all our defenders made what could have been costly mistakes. Hats off to Forshaw who oozed energy throughout and has surely nailed that central midfield position. Raphinha, yet again was star quality. Good to see Cresswell get a few minutes as sub. Next up Spurs.

and you culd see it in players face when they went of after the game they was unhappy not to win.good performances.just need to fine tune our shoot

Yesssssssss

wish I could see it 😡

much better performance.best on this seasone so far.you can see it in players face they really

want to win

Good first half, we caused a lot of problems and were very good going forward. Glad to see we are back chasing every ball. Forshaw and Phillips won their midfield battles. Only down side was Llorente and Struijk losing their man on a number of occasions. But a much improved performance.

Llorente let him in.
