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.

I said with 10 men. Second half they didn't look in serious danger of conceding till they did.

I really don't get what your issue is with a manager saying he's proud and happy with his side that were down to 10 men losing in last few mins of the game. It can only be bias and rivalry.

To be fair it's half to break down a 9 man low block .. the extra man advantage doesn't mean too much defensively In this scenario for leicester

The aftermath of players celebrating in singer’s corner, reminded me of when Vik ran around the pitch to celebrate ……. Only this time Hadji Wright was there with his team mates ……. Great to see

Which is why it's not terrible tactics to employ it

Jose mourinho inter parking bus at nouvcamp is one of the best tactical masterclasses I have ever seen.

It's a tik tok social media influencers world now though and parking bus is seen as something only poor teams do.

It clearly can work when you are trying to hold on to something

If you don't concede then great mission accomplished. if you do then the hindsight brigade come out

Cos Leicester players and Cov players are the same. Tactically they were poor and handed us the game. They had enough quality to hold their own and bottled it then blamed the ref and the illuminati.

Bad management. No matter how much you love Pep and Co.

I didn't think they were good when they went to 10 men, our tempo was just not quick enough, we didn't stretch the play wide enough and when we did get the ball out wide there wasn't enough people in the box. Then we made the changes, the tempo quickened, we used the width better and we actually had people in the box.

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

Pep and his ex crew all moan when teams stifle the game against them but if they do it we have to respect it as a masterclass, I like Pep but his followers that have gone elsewhere have hardly gone into challenging jobs Arteta massive budget, the other two have gone into the richest team in the championship and sone what was expected.

Unfortunately when clubs do it to then these managers tend to whine and cry it’s ruining the game

Mourinho was just a wanker who relied on snarling intimidation a lot of the time when his success started to decline

In mourinhos defence , its only 1 club where he's not won a trophy .. spurs

And they sacked hime before the cup final

An elite level manager who's statistically one of the most successful ever, his Chelsea team in the mid 2000s was formidable and his madrid team super exciting and he won the chanpions league with Porto..

Mourinho built tough teams that were incredibly hard to beat (Inter Milan ‘10, Chelsea ‘05 and ‘06 are statistically the best Defence in PL history that’ll probably never be matched, Porto champions league run etc.,)

“Parking the bus” is a legit style of play, if it was an easy cheat code everyone would do it but it requires the right mentality and players to fit that system. Jose was a master at finding those players, and then getting them to run through brick walls for him.

After all yesterday's controversial desicions still never in a million years do I support VAR, goal line technology yes but the VAR can fuck itself, if those decisions yesterday had given a red to Thomas and reversed the red card it would of sucked the atmosphere away. I did say this at half time by the way while they were winning.

I think it's in our interests for them to win their matches. We won't catch them and we want them to take points off the others.

We hit the post in the first five minutes, O'Hare missed another good chance in the first half and we had a number of other half chances.

That's what we're saying. Saka, O'Hare and the Godden header in the second half were our best chances, until the 78 minute mark. After that, we scored and looked miles more dangerous.

Not really one for match vlogs really, but enjoyed this one. All the focus is always on SC for atmosphere, but this shows how lively it is over the other side of the ground.

To be fair though it's against a team that had conceded 18 goals before yesterday, we've scored 20% nearly of the goals they've conceded all season
