Zinchenko is looking good at left back again.

All the young lads doing well so far, but the physical strength is definitely lacking. Feed em up city!
Tracking back is overrated.

we are so spoiled watching the first team every week. the number of times the ball has bounced off our players today is shocking in comparison.

We're 1-0 up away from home playing a team of teenagers. From what I've seen we're doing pretty good so far

I know match threads are reactionary/negative, but I'm quite surprised how bad it is today. Adios

We are. We would be doing better if our centre halves werent doing clown impressions.

A very good first half hour but struggled to keep the ball thereafter. Zinchenko has looked good in possession and going forward. Tosin seemed pretty good too

Once Leicester realised we don't have much of a clue going forward they decided to start playing.

Leicester have had one shot on target on their own ground in 45 minutes. Frankly I'll take the same in the second half.

You can't expect our second choice XI to play like our first team do because no-one in fucking world football does.
Your right leg I like; I've got nothing against your right leg. The trouble is neither have you.

It makes you realise how good Stones is.
I think Tosin is going ok.
The reality is Yaya should be the out ball for us out of defence but he’s not providing it.

The youngsters are doing ok, but there is a difference in the physicality at this level and some of the routine passing is not accurate enough.

It’s a great experience and they’re winning.
I’d like a little more from Gundo, who is good but not in it enough.
Him and Yaya should be setting up the youngsters.

I’m enjoying this though. Hope we grow into it more second half as we lost momentum at the end of the first.

Big blue is right. You , young man are talking shite. This is a mixture team playing against another mixture team. So far, if Bernardo had not been so selfish
we would be 2 up.

The defense is coping well with the little that Leicester have thrown at us so far. Crisp clean tackles. stealing the ball, no worries for me so far.
