Any observations from yesterdays game Rich ?

Big save from Mignolet at 2-1.

[TightEnd]

a complete garbage performance

hopefully the end of trying to go to top sides and playing 2 in the middle with 2 wide men and 2 up. without Kante in there, who is hugely missed, we just cannot play compactly without the ball when so outnumbered

yet again Klopp did a number on mahrez, this time milner in front of moreno.

nothing against liverpool, deserved to win. looked hugely uncomfortable trying to pay out from the back, mignolet is not a distributor and they were never that convincing at centre back but  aside from that they pressed well, transitioned quickly and tore us apart

6 games in 21 games now including bruges, chelsea, man u and porto.

some brave tinkering needed.

that was a good day and night

Bruges were very poor, probably no better than an average championship team on that performance (an off-night?)

what a beautiful city though.

statto alert

Leicester are 3rd English team to win on CL debut after Man U (1994) & Newcastle (1997). They are 1st English team to win away on CL debut

Did you have a ticket or were you watching from the city square?

[TightEnd]

Did you have a ticket or were you watching from the city square?

ticket

coach, ferry, coach and back overnight with the club which involved paying a premium compared to doing it myself but was simpler organisationally

original plan was to get a ticket for the home areas as i thought i would struggle to get a ticket (but the arrangements are very strict, involving picking up your ticket in person in bruges, showing passport etc and again at the ground and no chance of getting away with being in a home area) so bit the bullet, queued up early a couple of weeks ago and the allocation just made my priority level

Copenhagen is sorted

Oporto is a pain in the neck but at the moment involves lisbon, the 2-3 hour train to porto and overnight transfer back

if after all this we end up in the europa league there might be more to do as well, but as its more than likely a one off european campaign its the only shot at doing it

This was introduced at City mid way through last season. The first game was Kiev, of which demand was pretty low for it anyway due to, amongst various reasons, UEFA fucking us about yet again, so I assumed it was a one off measure considering the circumstances and to stop 'points whores' snapping up all the £5 tickets and then not going. Was wrong and its been the case for every Euro away since and will be the case going forward.

Caused a bit of a split with City fans, some thinking its a great move whilst others are not happy about it, coupled with the ballache of having to traipse across an unfamiliar city to get your ticket. The reason why it was introduced isn't clear, stopping the points whores seemed the obvious reason but apparently City wanted to keep a closer eye on who was attending these Euro away days.

Apparently Chelsea and united do it, it looks like you guys are doing it, so I guess its now the norm for the foreseeable for most clubs participating in Europe.

my understanding (from the ticket office at leicester) was that it is UEFA mandated, that the arrangement is in place for all visiting supporters. you pick up your match ticket in the host city at a pre-agreed landmark type location on arrival, with a 5pm deadline to do so.

have to make special arrangements to pick them up at the ground if you can't make it for 5pm
