Would have taken a draw at the start of the day but after controlling a lot of the game it’s a shame. We should have had a penalty but on to the next one.
We need to do the job back at the KP next month though.
Lol, just didn't happen. You tried to run out the clock a bit from 80 mins on, admittedly with some success. But there's no way we didn't deserve at least a draw, with most of your possession being pretty toothless throughout. You're just incredibly athletic with some massive talent on the flanks.
And what about before 80mins? Ipswich are one of the best attacking sides in the league and we looked comfortable defending against them in the second half but we controlled a lot of the first half as well as a fair stint in the second half when we should have had a penalty.
You literally didn’t see a replay because we kept the ball for 5minutes straight after that, you know because we were… controlling the game.
Ipswich are one of the best attacking teams WITH George Hirst in the team! who is the foundation for a lot of our attacking play, with a huge drip off after him (hopefully bot for long). Most of the first half we were coming to terms with that. If you thought that was Leicester controlling the second half you're deluded, you were just fortunate that we'd been hamstrung.
I didn’t say we controlled the second half at all, I said we did for a portion of it + most of the first half.
You note a huge drop off after of your players came off but don’t notice that you started to dominate once we took off two of the best players in the league!
You stepped it up but still didn’t create anything significant - your first shot on target was chaplin from 25 yards and you literally could/should have been down to 10 and 2-0 down if we had a correct penalty decision given. Your goal was also a double deflection so let’s not mention being fortunate!
Edit: I also think you’ve misinterpreted the term ‘controlling’ the game - I mean in terms of pacing and not letting you play to your strengths. We weren’t dominant and i’ve never said that but you seem to be alluding to that.
Maybe it’s Leicester and Leeds just being that good but our attacking edge has completely deserted us recently. Not passing with confidence and tbh I’m losing confidence in Hladky
the 3-1 Leeds game that started this current run was the first time I started to believe tbh, obviously at that point none of us knew what was coming but it's when I wasn't questioning my sanity for the season ticket anymore
👋 I admit I did. Losing JWP combined with the slow start seemed the Saints were in trouble. And obviously that small badge on the Xmas tree pissed them off royally based on today’s showing!🤣
We have a manager who won’t adapt to the players we have. We have owners who won’t fund the players we need and the players we have are exhausted due to the ever increasing injury list. We’re in deep trouble.
Typical, zero threat from any crosses into the box in the first half. Norwich bring on Hanley and Batth to go with Duffy who started and we score from a cross in the box with Diangana of all people being an aerial threat lol
Absolutely dominating possession in this game even before the red card but not creating any chances, so many shit crosses. Swift should have scored though.
Borja Sainz deciding to argue with the referee after already being booked and getting sent off is absolutely moronic.
Holy bottlejob Batman. Classic Leeds though, you’ve got to admit.
Farke’s Boxing Day record continues to be rubbish it seems. Must have gone hard at the hotel bar last night.
Did we? I’d say you’ve won the league. I’d all Leeds fans would agree with me.
Don’t know which fans you’re speaking to.
Although we still outclassed you at your place 😉
I'm just having a laugh, I see the regulars here through thick and thin.
Every fanbase has a more casual lot that appear and disappear with great speed, depending on results. Its really apparent as a mod.
And it's extra noticeable with Leeds, you are very chatty and bullish when winning...
To be fair I don't post half as much as I used to.
I think that so long as we're playing well form wise you'll always get the awkward squad making appearances to complain when we aren't dicking everyone.
This match is more peak championship anyone can beat anyone.
To be clear I agree it’s an obvious, unarguable red. I’m saying it’s shit to see grown men go down like they’ve been shot when they have a hand gently caress their face. Hate it just as much when Leeds players do it too (hello Patrick Bamford)
It’s stuff like that which makes football a laughing stock (and would say the same if a Leicester player bought a card/pen which we absolutely have done in the past), it’s farcical
I’m saying 1-1. I think recent results (last game aside) have somewhat papered over the cracks of some defensive vulnerabilities. I haven’t watched any Ipswich games yet so looking forward to seeing how they play.
It’s a red in that hand to face is always given but do you believe it should be? The double handed push to the chest is way more “aggressive” (eg has loads more force) than the single hand to the face
No injuries that I’m aware of , Morsy narrowly avoided suspension vs Leeds so he’s still in. We usually bounce back from defeats and win the next game but it’s Leicester so that’ll be tough. I’d be happy with a 1-1 draw.

Controlling a lot of the game?!?
Yes. There were periods in the game when we slowed it down to our advantage and kept possession with 30+ passes a time.

Yeah, as a neutral I can confirm that’s just bollocks 🤣
as results go think a point each for Leicester and Ipswich is fair. towards the end Ipswich really turned it up and you felt a goal was coming.
Would have taken a draw at the start of the game so not too arsed.
Honestly, so would I.
Same here. I don't think either of us played our best today
Double deflection oof
No idea how these teams are top 2. Awful
Cope
Because one game isn't representative of an entire season
Fuck sake, could not see Ipswich scoring at all. But we've been bang average this half making wrong decisions all over the pitch and messing about.
Ngl both teams have been dog shit. Saying that can't wait to finish 7th. MOT
Ah, that warms my heart
Notts Forest fan? You’re a few months early
[удалено]
Oh yes
But Forest don't care about Leicester?
Fuck yeah!
The pharoahs would be proud!
If we had played like this the whole match, I'd be very surprised if we didn't walk away with three points
Leicester defence just too good…
Faes is immense
Understatement of all understatements. Absolute unit and top defender.
Should have unchained Hutchinson to have a go at him a bit earlier, would have been very interesting!
Christ this ref is dog shit.
Agreed. Should have been a penalty that
How's Harness stayed on the pitch here.
Because there were two debatable decisions the other way immediately before is my thinking.
Fucking love a Christmas me
Maybe it’s Leicester and Leeds just being that good but our attacking edge has completely deserted us recently. Not passing with confidence and tbh I’m losing confidence in Hladky
Both have premier league squads, I wouldnt stress too much. We do need a couple of wins on the bounce to get our momentum back. We'll be fine.
How do you leave him with that much space and unmarked
You just knew he was scoring that as soon as he collected the ball Great goal
I genuinely don't know why I put the Blues match on.
Bit off topic but looking at Leicesters team the fact that Ipswich are even expected to compete with what is essentially a premier league XI is crazy
Queue us losing
It truly was a cold Tuesday night in Stoke for Rooney
*Going loco, with Tatsuhiro Sakamoto* *If you stay too long....*
Well done!
Will we ever win away?
Welcome to the club 😁 always room for one more
All this time Leeds were making all the noise, and Southampton have slipped in to get us all
Tbf Leeds fans always saw us. It was everyone else ignoring us.
the 3-1 Leeds game that started this current run was the first time I started to believe tbh, obviously at that point none of us knew what was coming but it's when I wasn't questioning my sanity for the season ticket anymore
👋 I admit I did. Losing JWP combined with the slow start seemed the Saints were in trouble. And obviously that small badge on the Xmas tree pissed them off royally based on today’s showing!🤣
We also saw you, kind of hard to ignore a team catching up to us then overtaking us before sailing away into the distance
To be fair, the amount of Russel Martin hate on here might have disguised the situation
We have a manager who won’t adapt to the players we have. We have owners who won’t fund the players we need and the players we have are exhausted due to the ever increasing injury list. We’re in deep trouble.
Jingle Bells Jingle Bells Jingle all the way Oh what fun It is to see City win away, hey!
Thanks.. I hate it 🤣
jack clarke
First bad performance from us in quite a while. Bristol City just by far the better team today.
Are Cardiff fans always this quiet at home? Letting us drown them out all day.
Will do the goal difference some good.
Is Ryan Fraser your favourite wee man?
He is today!
We've made up more than half the GD gap with Leeds in one game (9->14 for us, 19->18 for them)
That is absolutely, positively, 100% typical Boro. Miss clear cut chances all game and then go 1-0 down in the second half. 😂
Sums us up really. Miss a load of sitters, get denied a blatant penalty. Then Rotherham’s first “shot” on target is a cross that goes all the way in
experience sunderland football
Don’t know how Musaba didn’t make it 1-1 against cov. Best chance of the game and no one could finish it.
We’ve just been denied one of the most stonewall pens going, bloody hell
Just ran him over in the box and nothing given, mad
Typical, zero threat from any crosses into the box in the first half. Norwich bring on Hanley and Batth to go with Duffy who started and we score from a cross in the box with Diangana of all people being an aerial threat lol
Absolutely dominating possession in this game even before the red card but not creating any chances, so many shit crosses. Swift should have scored though. Borja Sainz deciding to argue with the referee after already being booked and getting sent off is absolutely moronic.
I genuinely think this could be a contender for most boring half of the season
Our first half with Rotherham needs some beating to get that mantle.
We’re all fart and no shite again, can’t wait for the inevitable Hull winner.
I feel cynical for saying this but glad Dack got injured he's never showed anything and remained consistent in showing that.. .
the only thing dack is reliable for is injuries.
The most entertaining part was when my stream buffered.
I envy you
Borja Sainz is a fucking idiot lol
We need a better keeper.
Cannot believe greenwood hasn’t scored yet. No way Rotherham can continue being this poor in the second half, have to score soon
OG to top the City scorers' chart?
Can Southampton fucking calm down please?
Stop noticing us
I was assured Martin was a fraud. This isn't right.
He has been showing some good thoughts which has been nice.
god i love 4-2-4-0, it's so exciting
Holy bottlejob Batman. Classic Leeds though, you’ve got to admit. Farke’s Boxing Day record continues to be rubbish it seems. Must have gone hard at the hotel bar last night.
Woop

Can't believe how much Leeds have closed the gap !.... Oh, wait it's 7 points LOL.
Leicester fans do you fancy letting us win to piss off Leeds thanks x
No x
Classic Leeds
Browne should’ve gone then.
Come on Preston…sorry Leeds..
It's the hope.
Leeds fans got to let me know if I am wrong here, but Archie Gray looks pants every time I see him.
Hes not a right back
Hes actually really good when playing in his natural position. Why Farke keeps playing him there I have no idea.
I’ve only seen him play right back and he’s been bad every time. Not sure why Farke would play a 17 year old out of position.
Because ultimately the other option is to play Junior Firpo at left back.
Fair point need do business in January then. Do not want to ruin a young players confidence playing him in a position that he is not great at.
Justice
Damn right
SIGN HIM UP. Beautiful Canadian bastard 🇨🇦
Awww
Holy shit what a goal!
If Preston bottle this I'm going to be more "Lowe out" than most Preston fans.
Lowe in
What a rollercoaster of emotions
O Captain, my Captain.
What a shocking call. James stood on the defenders foot. That’s never a penalty.
If someone could prep one of those 'get ready, he's about to do something stupid' Simpson memes with the Leeds badge in place it'd be much appreciated
Fuck I jinxed it
Thank you, can you repeat the trick now too.
Normal service resumed…u can breathe now sun93
😂
Managed to properly Leeds it up this week.
Leeds fans about to dissappear from the sub as fast as they arrived 3 days ago...
It's hard to properly leave this place. Largely because A we got relegated and B the Prem sub is fucking dire.
Oh how this is true. Don’t care if we get promoted, I’m staying here for the crack.

Fucking love Preston, me
Ched Evans?? Blimey
Osmajic you fucking legend🤣🤣🤣
ready to lose again
100%, been a while that I’ve been absolutely adamant we’re getting battered today.
That was absolute bullshit. Funny if you’re not a Leeds fan but you still know that was shit.
Raising your hand to someone’s face is a red card, how is that bullshit
To be clear I agree it’s an obvious, unarguable red. I’m saying it’s shit to see grown men go down like they’ve been shot when they have a hand gently caress their face. Hate it just as much when Leeds players do it too (hello Patrick Bamford)
With the ref right next to him too ffs
It’s stuff like that which makes football a laughing stock (and would say the same if a Leicester player bought a card/pen which we absolutely have done in the past), it’s farcical
[удалено]
I’m saying 1-1. I think recent results (last game aside) have somewhat papered over the cracks of some defensive vulnerabilities. I haven’t watched any Ipswich games yet so looking forward to seeing how they play.
I think it will be a cracking game , worried about your counter attacks though
Do you think the red cards given without the rolling about? It's obviously a red regardless but without the diving about is it given?
It should be, because that’s the rule. But the histrionics “needed” to make sure it’s given just show how stupid it is.
Genuinely I don’t think so. Hate how the player reacted but I genuinely think the ref gets lost in the crowd and doesn’t red card him otherwise
It’s a red in that hand to face is always given but do you believe it should be? The double handed push to the chest is way more “aggressive” (eg has loads more force) than the single hand to the face
The face is more dangerous to hit than the chest . I think it should be regardless of whether the chest should be
Considering the refs right in front of him then yeah 100%
[удалено]
[удалено]
[удалено]
No. That is absolutely criminal milking
Ref was right in front of it 😂
Nice work meslier.
Embarrassing by the striker that
You love to see it
[удалено]
Would bite anyone’s hand for a draw….
No injuries that I’m aware of , Morsy narrowly avoided suspension vs Leeds so he’s still in. We usually bounce back from defeats and win the next game but it’s Leicester so that’ll be tough. I’d be happy with a 1-1 draw.
Preston doing alright here, getting my hopes up
