We created more once the changes made than we did in the whole game before - other than the early Sakamoto chance we didn’t threaten at all and struggled to test the keeper - it all changed - Simms in particular offered a more physical presence and looked up for it

It was never going to be anything other than cagey.
We bettered them when eleven v eleven and got the tactics spot on when against their ten men defensive wall. Agree re. Simms, he had the space to use his strength and pace looked a different player.

just watching the everton villa game, and a tackle by tarkovski on diaby in the penalty area.
He took the ball, but then clattered into diaby, in a similar way to Thomas on Dewsbury hall.
Ref played on, then VAR checked when ball went dead, and completely cleared it...no penalty or card.
Consistency needed.

Yep, basically it’s pot luck based on what ref/VAR team you get. If ref had given it, they wouldn’t overturn it, but also won’t step in if ref misses.

it’s why if we had VAR yesterday none of those decisions would’ve had any different outcome. The only bad thing about promotion would be dealing with VAR, celebrations cut short, massive delays in game etc.,

Just rewatched the game in full. We look so confident atm, even in the first half we looked very good v 11. Spine tingling last 15 minutes or so from the first goal with the commentary and atmosphere.

I watched that game absolute garbage the only highlight was the three minute discussion about a Villa goal and decided to knock it off because a Villa players big toe was off…or was it ?

 

[shmmeee]

Just realised that’s the first time they’ve lost by 2 goals all season. Also the first time they’ve conceded 3.

What a great feeling this morning. Was impressed at the airport last night - must have been at least 20 Cov fans on the evening flight back to Dublin. Spoke to a few of them and they’d come in and out on the day. Didn’t see any Leicester shirts.

Fair play to those Irish fans, the fan base is growing. PUSB

They spent that long looking for offside, and yet nobody thought to pay any attention to the foul that occurred that should have made the offside a moot point anyway.

My heart says 5-0 but my head says 3-1 to us.
Milan free kick, Callum again and Simms!!

Nearly got it correct!!

Milan got booked for goading the Leicester fans

Worth a yellow then

Just watched it again x2 and I can’t believe how Allen gets a free header from the corner to put it back into the danger area. They probably thought smallest guy on the pitch, can’t do much damage, no need to mark him hahaha. He rose like a leaping salmon to guide his header.

Who was on the phonecall instantly after the match to MR, Wife, agent,DK, another manager, another chairman?

Still watching the saka turn on Justin just beautiful so so funny

I've watched a couple of other Lester fan vlogs and they were fine to be fair, the noise after that second Cov goal was unbelievable if you were in that away end!

You've stolen my thunder there. The noise for that second Cov goal was probably the loudest I've ever heard at that Arena.

I've watched it about 75 times and it seems to get louder

 

[robbiethemole]

Registered at 110 decibels on a smart watch!
No wonder Leicester fans were issued eardefenders, poor little lambs haven’t heard noise like that in their place

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

I'm thinking the same, with that amount of home support and the time and who it was against I'd struggle to name a louder goal celebration

 

[ccfcmad1]

Comedy gold all I keep hearing is we won't see you again for the next ten years coping mechanism!
Have a feeling we will see them a lot sooner than they think

 

[robbiethemole]

They’re all struggling to come to terms with us doing them, and realising they’re not as invincible as they thought, Fock em and their salty tears hahaha

 

[ccfcchris]

Quite saddened to watch this at 4:20 talking about both sets of fans.

Mediocre player and not much better as a pundit
