0' - kick off.

20s in and Mane down on the ground.

That troll vardy stamped his foot on the followthrough

Rush 82 · « **Reply #2 on:** February 27, 2017, 08:02:41 pm »

2' - Game resumed. Mane back on the field.

3' - Corner to Leicester.

Offside.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #4 on:** February 27, 2017, 08:05:37 pm »

4' - Leicester with a long FK, Huth gets a touch and Mignolet makes a good catch sharp to his left.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #5 on:** February 27, 2017, 08:07:07 pm »

5' - Leicester have come out at speed and pushing hard. We've not been able to get hold of the ball yet.

Mignolet with another good save diving to his left.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #6 on:** February 27, 2017, 08:09:01 pm »

7' - Corner resulting from the previous save safely negotiated. Reds have a bit of the ball now.

Leicester pressing hard and Mane gets clipped again

Rush 82 · « **Reply #7 on:** February 27, 2017, 08:10:43 pm »

9'- Oh my, that was close. Mane, Lallana, Mane and Morgan just gets a foot in to prevent Can from tapping it in.

Corner

Rush 82 · « **Reply #8 on:** February 27, 2017, 08:11:38 pm »

10' - Lofted onto Matip's head as he outjumps Huth but he can't keep it down and heads over.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #9 on:** February 27, 2017, 08:13:14 pm »

11' - Leicester are not holding back - pressing combining with booting the ball forward. Lucas has weathered the storm so far.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #10 on:** February 27, 2017, 08:14:55 pm »

13' - Can with a sly tackle to bring Okazaki down. FK awarded and Mahrez manufactures a corner.

Huth rises unchallenged but heads the ball over.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #11 on:** February 27, 2017, 08:16:48 pm »

15' - Phil brought down 45 yards out - we pass the ball to Clyne - no long range attempts for us. Klopp gesticulates as if to say "wtf where you boys doing with the ball there"

Rush 82 · « **Reply #12 on:** February 27, 2017, 08:18:28 pm »

17' - Ref blows for foul - Milner rightly aggrieved that he didn't play advantage there since he was away down the left.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #13 on:** February 27, 2017, 08:19:58 pm »

18' - Stupid camera spends almost a minute focusing on the faces of the Leicester owners.

We break and move the ball forward.

Corner comes in but Schmeichel comes out and punches clear.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #14 on:** February 27, 2017, 08:22:01 pm »

19' - That was nearly goal for Leicester. Schmeichel took the kick from the offside, it landed with Vardy who controls it onto his left foot but can't bury it. Mignolet parrys and Clyne heads clear for a corner.

Corner is safely negotiated.

Last season Vardy nets that.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #15 on:** February 27, 2017, 08:24:02 pm »

22' - Leicester have had a strong opening 20 minutes - exactly what we didn't want them to have.

Patience now will be key and making them run, then smash them when their heads drop

Rush 82 · « **Reply #16 on:** February 27, 2017, 08:25:45 pm »

23' - Little spell of possession for the reds - really not sure why we are rushing rather than holding - we've traded the ball 4 or 5 times now. Madness

Rush 82 · « **Reply #17 on:** February 27, 2017, 08:27:26 pm »

25' - Coutinho receives the ball as he runs into the box but is crowded out by 3 blue shirts. Simpson goes over on his ankle and hobble to the sideline. Everyone takes a breather.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #18 on:** February 27, 2017, 08:28:23 pm »

27' - Pathetic.

Two passes and they go straight through us.

Mignolet didn't stand a chance.

1-0 Vardy

Rush 82 · « **Reply #19 on:** February 27, 2017, 08:30:42 pm »

28' - Suddenly we wake up and drive the ball down the left and across the field. Ball moving around now and Phil is so nearly in. Just could not get past Schmeichel who puts in a good block.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #20 on:** February 27, 2017, 08:33:56 pm »

32' - Lallana with a neat twist and turn lofts the ball across the box but Gini heads tamely and was flagged offside in any event.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #21 on:** February 27, 2017, 08:35:46 pm »

33' - Lucas is being done by Vardy - he cannot cope. Nearly pulls him down for a pen but fortunately Vardy cuts it back and Mignolet is able to save to his left.

We're bloody lucky that Mahrez appears to not be interested in playing tonight.

We have been dreadful. No common sense second to every ball. I am just beyond disappointed with them. This game is huge now.

Quite so, quite so

Rush 82 · « **Reply #23 on:** February 27, 2017, 08:39:20 pm »

39' - 2-0

Drinkwater with a 30 yard strike - Mignolet had no chance

Rush 82 · « **Reply #24 on:** February 27, 2017, 08:41:24 pm »

40' - We get into the Leicester box and then forget what do with the ball. Ineffectually kicking it into blue shirts.

Corner to us. Lofted high, dinked upwards and easily collected.

Someone mentions that Leicester have been vulnerable to set pieces this season...

We need changes right away. Klavan on for Lucas, he just cannot cope. Clyne seems to be our only defender who can make tackles. Also I would bring Origi and maybe even Woodburn on at some stage, we have to get back into this game somehow. We need to try something new. At half time Klopp needs to be laying into the players. They just haven't been good enough.

2' added on

Rush 82 · « **Reply #26 on:** February 27, 2017, 08:47:37 pm »

46' - Can tees up a shot that nearly squeezes through - Schmeichel tips it around the corner (which comes to nothing)

HT

Rush 82 · « **Reply #27 on:** February 27, 2017, 09:03:56 pm »

45' - Kick off.

Leicester have done us thoroughly in the first half - stomping on Mane within a minute and it all went downhill from there.

We've started the 2nd brightly. Can we turn that into goal and 3 points?

Rush 82 · « **Reply #28 on:** February 27, 2017, 09:06:01 pm »

47' - Leicester playing like they did last season - with a 2 goal cushion they're happy for us have the ball.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #29 on:** February 27, 2017, 09:07:28 pm »

49' - Mane, Firmino, Coutinho - in the box and back out again.

Formation looks like its been switched to 3 at the back

Rush 82 · « **Reply #30 on:** February 27, 2017, 09:10:10 pm »

51' - Under pressure again. Vardy is found down the left by Okazaki, Lucas is left behind by Vardy again, but he can't get a clean ball to Okazaki following through and we clear.

We really, really don't like those balls being pumped in.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #31 on:** February 27, 2017, 09:12:33 pm »

53' - Mignolet diddles Vardy with a lovely little touch way outside the box.

At the other end, Coutinho fires through a forest of legs but Schmeichel tracks it saves easily.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #32 on:** February 27, 2017, 09:13:39 pm »

55' - Clyne to Firmino who is in the box but the ball doesn't stick - it's one of those nights on top of everything else.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #33 on:** February 27, 2017, 09:15:08 pm »

56' - There's a faint hint of our attacking shape but it just won't click.

Mane comes away with the ball, finds himself alone, and snaps a kick with left foot that earns a corner.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #34 on:** February 27, 2017, 09:17:47 pm »

58' - Leicester relaxed now. Sitting deep and allowing us to have the ball. Confident that we can't penetrate their back 4/5 (N'didi keeps dropping back).

oh FFS

3-0 so easy for Leicester - Vardy - 60'

Rush 82 · « **Reply #35 on:** February 27, 2017, 09:19:37 pm »

60' - We nip up the other side and lose the ball in the box.

Story of the night.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #36 on:** February 27, 2017, 09:21:39 pm »

62' - We've had 9 attempts on goal - Leicester have had 10.

Looks like Origi and Moreno are coming on

Rush 82 · « **Reply #37 on:** February 27, 2017, 09:22:39 pm »

64' - Of course Schmeichel will have a good game - Lallana with a good effort is thwarted

Rush 82 · « **Reply #38 on:** February 27, 2017, 09:24:02 pm »

65' - Double change.

Lallana off - Origi on
Mane off - Moreno on

Rush 82 · « **Reply #39 on:** February 27, 2017, 09:25:32 pm »

67' - Goal.

Coutinho pulls one back.

3-1
