Sane on next half. Foden positional play is terrible.

We will do this! Come on.

[sheblue]

We need to take Phil off and get sane on and go 442 push sterling central with Sergio.
Not enough upfront.

Sure as night follows day. A reckless Kompany tackle

From another Zinch error

Was Laporte

Guys are all sleeping.

[Mase]

Sanè to the rescue again

The super sub

Peps gotta break the habit of a lifetime and make a sub at HT.

Tough game. Leicester are playing well and defending strongly.

But we took control in the last 15 mins and created more chances. Leicester won't keep up their passing game for 90 mins.

Silva and Foden are poor in centre midfield, neither offering anything whatsoever. We should look to bring Sane on to offer more threat.

[stevefromdonny]

we need to pass the ball a lot faster, to much slow play, Leicester are just falling back and we are to slow, need to pick the pace up

[PaulieIrish]

We may as well go all in from the start of the second half. A loss is the same as a draw for us - either one of those and bin dippers need to draw/lose to our win on final day. So time to say fuck it - take off Phil and bring on Sane. And then take off Vinne and bring on GJ on the hour.

We have to win. We WILL win.

Leicester sat back and doubling up out wide. Makes Foden and Silva position even more important. Gundogan playing well, maybe better for him to move into one of them positions and danilo or stones coming on in midfield.

Kompany might have to come off. Were absolutely can't afford a red with a ref who loves the attention

They seem to have needed a motivational talk from pep at half time the last few games

Sane out wide razza on right Bernie in middle foden on bench b

[carl_feedthegoat]

Sterling , Foden, Zinchenko are playing poor .

We have had 1 shot on goal and that was Foden - terrible considering we need to win this game .

Brenda 100% is playing his team like their lives depend on it .

I actually thought we played well in the first half but with little end product, which is down to how Leicester have set-up. RatBoy and Tyler are all about how Leicester are getting at us but in reality it's only on the break and they are playing with the proverbial bus (back 5, 4 and 1 all within 30 metres). Also, the tension they keep spouting. Of course there's tension, the ref made sure of that yesterday with their ridiculous decisions and, tonight, Dean has got the majority of awards right but what they don't mention is how, when it is us, the whistle isn't coming, its always advantage played as we lose the ball.

Pep needs to do his stuff at HT, but I can't watch these fucking idiots on Sky.

Had to mute for half time.

[PaulieIrish]

Fucking Carragher commentating on our game on Sky. Seriously wft???

[Dimples]

Pep to earn his corn here.
He has to get the players calm, the tactics correct and bring on the correct personnel to implement them.

[blues2win]

We haven’t created much. At the match I’d play Sane left Sterling right Bernardo in the middle. Come on City!

[Sparklehorse]

I would have Sane on for Silva, he has been anonymous and is one tackle away from a red !!!

[london blue 2]

Got fuck sake come on. I can’t bear the thought of not getting all three points.

It's a point, but it's hard to justify Foden playing on
