There was one pass Kitching played straight from Rushworth into rudi that was filthy and set us up
I think kitch can be the ball player he’s very good at it

I agree that Kitch is better on the ball than you might initially expect but he’s not good enough to have as your primary outlet. He is good enough to have as your secondary outlet.

Don't think Torp has the legs to get round the pitch in that system we played first half, Onyeka potentially could.

I don’t think N’Golo Kante would have the legs in that system either

Wasn’t me that let the cat out of the bag. All I said is that I’d heard rumours that there was something else going on beyond injury /illness.

“It wasn’t me, I just insinuated he was in legal trouble!” - this is the kind of analysis this fanbase needs

On tactics yesterday why were we bringing all our players back into the box for throw in in our half meaning every Leicester outfield player was within shooting range of our goal?We had no outlet. Surely we needed MVE on the half way line occupying 2 of their players.That leave less bodies in the area to cause deflections.Mind you think the same tactics should be used for corners

He tried a couple of really clever balls yesterday but neither came off.
Great vision and ideas, poor execution.

Could somebody clear something up for me?

Earlier in this thread someone was talking about the problem being that Grimes, Torp and Rudoni all play in a straight line hence the problems with finding each other and why it's so easy for teams to get around us.

But I've seen lots of complaints (and heatmaps) suggesting that Rudoni drifts out wide too far and too often.

Could someone explain how both are possible?

That long 90degree pass Kitch plays into feet always impressive I reckon

I seen this on IG with respect to the Manchester Derby. It summaries a how Leicester exploited our shape a little bit. We had a similar-ish diamond shape with the fullbacks so high, Torp behind Rudoni-Wright and Grimes either in line or slightly ahead of the CBs.
