Weekend games

Dippers cruising at 2-0 looking quite menacing. Was hoping this would be a tough fixture but Leicester not offering much.

Watched about 20 minutes of that and it was all Leicester, they're playing some good stuff until the final third and fucking up threatening positions by panicking, inevitably Liverpool get that second from a set piece just before the break.

I’ve been waiting for that to happen.
Let’s see if the media go to town on Allison, like they did to Bravo.

I’d really love to see Leicester rescue this game. Their football deserves it and it would be one helluva kick in the nuts to Liverpool. But I can still see them coming up short.
Not enough quality in the final third.

Agreed, but there have been signs there in each game.
Amazing what an assault on his confidence could do.

They 100% deserve something from this game.

Liverpool don't worry me one iota. Don't get me wrong, we'll still fuck up at anfield, but they're going to drop a lot more points than we do.

They are fucked in the last half hour every single game because of their one hour of "heavy metal football". If they don't have a 3 goal lead, they're vulnerable as fuck.

They've been like that since rogers was in charge. Nothing has changed.

Foxes decent & spirited, full of effort, & they're making Merseyshite look nothing special at all.

I think they’ve been pretty poor second half in particular, which is definitely a trend with them, but I’d still put money on them to score on the last ten minutes of any game I’ve watched them in so far.

I don’t think they do go heavy metal football like last year. Each time they’ve gone a game up they’ve gone into a much more energy conserving mode as far as I’ve seen.
They trust their defensive capabilities against any of these teams they’ve played so far and know they have the quality up front to punish them on the break.

I agree though that they will run into trouble when the games come thick and fast and they give up possession of 30-70% like they do. It will wear them down.

It’ll be heavy metal against us though no doubt. I hoe we’ve learnt from last season and play it smarter.

Well 4 out of 4 but I have to say Liverpool are getting progressively worse.
That’s there worst performance so far but they still come away with 3 points.

They will come unstuck. As the games mount up I’m sure they will be found out. They don’t play possession football, so they won’t be able to conserve enough energy when all the cup competitions get going.

C’mon City. Get back to winning ways today.

Had Vardy played today this could easily been a draw. The fucking ravers played shitty sides and as soon as they play a decent side they wobble. I have no doubt they will be very close to us, if we manitain our form, still fancy us to the title unless we fuck ourselves.

From what be seen of the Dippers so far I'm not too impressed. They've been good in patches but then very poor for the rest, resulting in hoof football in the last 30 minutes of games. Not sure if it's the new players coming in or their style just cannot be maintained for the full period.

Looking at their fixtures you've got to say it's definitely going to be difficult for them around the CL matches and as we get further into the season the style they play will be seriously tested.

Gonna be an exciting season though, judging by how many ref'ing decisions they get.
