Ta. How did you rate Leicester? Contenders?

i think they will get better, don't see them being top 2 though

they don't seem to play as a team i think they solely rely on there "stars" performing as individuals to win them games ie an exceptional performance from
beckford

also seemed if they didn't have a tactic and were told to do whatever

Ankergren - 8 The best Casper/Kasper on the pitch
Calderon - 5 Off day today
Painter - 4 Unlucky to get sent off, but got beaten far to easily a few times
Dunk - 7 Still getting better
Greer - 6 Solid
Dicker - 5 Disappointing today
Bridcutt - 5 Off day
Harley - 5 Great chance to equalise, still adjusting to our system
Noone - 5 Would have been more effective staying on the wing, game passed him by today
Barnes - 5 Didn't get in the game
Mackail-Smith - 5 Missed a sitter, struggled against the brilliant Bamba

Buckley - 7 Ran at players looked likely to make something happen
Lua Lua - 7 Defenders looked scared of him, could have won a penno
Navarro - 5 Similar to Bridcutt and Dicker, didn't make a positive effect on the game

Leicester looked very good. Big, strong and fast. We were bullied out of the game a bit today, but I don't think we will play many tougher teams than them this season.

Casper 8 - solid, made some good saves

Calderon 6 - got forward well, struggled to deal with Beckford's skill and pace a couple of times
Dunk 8.5 - this boy is gonna be SOME player. Outstanding.
Greer 7 - solid enough
Painter 6 - not his best day, even before the sending off

Noone 6 - struggled to make an impact
Harley 6 - looked really classy at times, but very quiet overall
Bridcutt 6.5 - good, but not his usual brilliant self
Dicker 5 - not at the races

Barnes 6 - feeding off scraps
CMS 6 - feeding off scraps

Navarro 4 - dogshit when he came on. Made me feel stupid because I was telling anyone who would listen that we needed to bring him on to shore up the midfield.
Lua Lua 7 - looked dangerous. Should start against Liverpool
Buckley 6.5 - looked decent, but had to come back to right back/right wing back, after Painter's sending off.

Ankergren 7.5 Some quality saves that kept our hopes of a draw alive.Superb comedy moment when he just stood in his area and Leicester would not go for the ball.
Dunk 7.5 Had another good game.
Greer 7.5 Same as Dunk really.
Painter 6 Not a bad game. Unlucky with both yellows and the second looked really harsh from where I was.
Calderon 5.5 Caught out of position too many times, thinks he's a striker too often. Usual "head in hands" when goal went in. Some iffy passes.
Bridcutt 6 Some moments of quality but too many mis-placed passes.
Dicker 4 Didn't know he was on the pitch until he gave the ball away and the bloke next to me yelled at him. Poor game again. Would not tackle and poor defensive positional play today.
Harley 6 One of the few players to hang on to the ball and not keep giving it away or having it taken away.
Noone 6 Did not get onto his stride today and was marked very closely at times.
CMS 6 Didn't seem as busy today although he did have a couple of chances and a real whoops moment
Barnes 6 Didn't really have much of the ball and only one real chance.

Subs

Buckley 6 Made an impact when he came on but could not find the magic today. Never gave up.
Lua Lua 6 A really good run down the left when he came on and a good cross but nobody to convert it. Thought he had a good shout for a penalty.
Navarro 5 Passing was poor and didn't do much really.

The ref was a waste of skin and should be ashamed of his performance, if that is what you call it. The lino on our side too was frightened to wave his flag for any fouls and appeared to be only watching for offsides as he missed loads of obvious fouls and foul throws by Leicester.

(Based around 5 being an 'average' performance, as opposed to most who give 7 as an average)

Ankergren - 9 (MoM) Kept us in it.

Dunk - 8 Made some outstanding challenges
Greer - 7 Never looked as assured as Dunk, but not a bad performance.
Painter - 5 Unlucky red card but I wasn't convinced by him all afternoon.
Calderon - 6 Lacked a final ball.

Bridcutt - 5 Occasionally good but went missing for stretches at a time.
Dicker - 4 Navarro to start next week please.
Harley - 6 Seems to be taking flac on here but I thought he was the best of a bad bunch in midfield, didn't lose the ball as much as the others and looked the only connection between defense and attack at times.
Noone - 6 Not up to usual standards, but not a bad performance.

Barnes - 3 Was like playing with 10 men from the start.
CMS - 6 Would've given him 7 if he hadn't missed that absolute sitter.

Buckley - 7 Needs to be given a start.

Him/Navarro werent on for long enough to warrant a rating, if you want one I'll say 5, honestly I only remember him touching the ball a couple of times, he ball watched as well.

I would prefer to see Vincelot as a defensive midfielder as I am not convinced Navarro is an improvement on Dicker.. If fit suggest Hoskins to replace Barnes as I think that will bring out more from CMS.

I wasnt at Leicester today so this may not be so valid and is not based on todays performances

Well I would assume Vincelot will be in defense for the next game!!! Hoskins certainly needs to take over from Barnes ASAP.

We were poor, gave away possesion far to easily by just passing to Leicester players several times, better in the second half though and to be honest, CMS and Harley should have both scored their chances, not overly impressed with Leicester though, yeah they were alright but felt we made them look better than they were. Lcfc contenders? Maybe but have a lot more work to do if they are going to be.
