Photo by Carl Recine/Getty Images I watched so you didn’t have to (I hope) Recap Leicester City fell by a score of 3-0 against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday morning. A Bruno Fernandes strike and a Victor Kristiansen own-goal gave the hosts an insurmountable advantage at the break. The Foxes couldn’t find a way back into the match and Alejandro Garnacho added a fine curling effort to provide the final margin. What can I say about that match? What do you want me to say? The lineup didn’t work, the shape didn’t work, the adjustments didn’t work, the substitutions didn’t work...belie ..read more

Photo by Stephen Pond/Getty Images Jordan Ayew rescues a point in injury against the 10-man Tractor Boys Recap Leicester City left it late to earn a point against winless 10-man Ipswich Town on Saturday afternoon at Portman Road. A scoreless first half left the match poised for a dramatic finish. Leif Davis scored a beauty midway through the period to give the Tractor Boys the advantage. Kalvin Phillips was dismissed for a second yellow with a quarter-hour to play. The Foxes struggled to find a breakthrough until Jordan Ayew struck four minutes into injury time. Did City benefit from some refe ..read more

Photo by Michael Regan/Getty Images Well, at least the first half was entertaining... Recap Leicester City were routed by Manchester United in the League Cup by a score of 5-2 Wednesday evening at Old Trafford. An eventful first half saw the hosts net four times courtesy of a Casemiro brace, an Alejandro Garnacho strike, and a deflected Bruno Fernandes free kick. City scored twice with Bilal El Khannouss and Conor Coady finding the net. Fernandes got a second after the break providing the final margin of victory for the Red Devils. That was awful. The 4-2 score at the half was flattering as th ..read more

This is actually a spreadsheet being used to prepare for a summit of Everest because I can’t think of two things that go together than Microsoft Office and 8,000 meter extreme mountaineering. | Brian van der Brug / Los Angeles Times via Getty Images OK, actually the 23.68% mark, if you want to be pedantic about it. OK nerds, let’s do this. Let’s do a shallow dive into what the numbers say about Leicester City’s performance in the Premier League so far this season. Let’s...wait, did I say “shallow?” I did. I’m going to almost exclusively stick to actual statistics (i.e. measurements of events t ..read more

Photo by Michael Regan/Getty Images Not a match to remember for the Foxes Leicester City played a decent half of football against Nottingham Forest on Friday. Unfortunately, matches almost invariably have two halves and the second one was dire. Three errors in our own penalty box led to three goals for the visitors and that’s too big a hill to climb even when the attack shows some promise. Did anyone stand out? Let’s take a look! Mads Hermansen - 7 Made an incredible save, something that would normally get him an 8, but his indecision played a role in the third Forest goal. Sure, he shouldn’t ..read more

Photo by Carl Recine/Getty Images Foxes fall to Forest with a disastrous second-half defensive display Recap Leicester City fell to Nottingham Forest by a score of 3-1 at the King Power on Friday evening. The match was level at the half, with Jamie Vardy cancelling Ryan Yates’ opening. The Foxes’ defence gifted the visitors an additional two goals early in the second period and there was nothing resembling a comeback on the cards this evening. City looked strong in the first half and you got the sense that they’d turn the screw after the break. At least I had that sense, but that sense was ver ..read more

Photo by Dan Istitene/Getty Images Foxes come from 2-0 down to take all 3 points at the St. Mary’s Recap: Leicester City came from two goals down to win it at the death against 10-man Southampton at the St. Mary’s on Saturday afternoon. The Saints took a 2-0 lead into the tunnel at the half through goals from Cameron Archer and Joe Aribo. City levelled after the break with goals from Facundo Buonanotte and a Jamie Vardy penalty. Jordan Ayew converted a corner in the 98th minute to give the Foxes the three points and drop Southampton to the bottom of the table. LEICESTER CITY PULL OFF THE INC ..read more

Photo by Plumb Images/Leicester City FC via Getty Images Buonanotte’s first-half strike gives the Foxes their first win of the season Recap Leicester City held on to defeat Bournemouth by a score of 1-0 at the King Power on Saturday afternoon. Facundo Buonanotte’s first-half strike provided the early lead and (spoiler alert) the final margin (wait, that wasn’t a spoiler since it’s literally in the headline and the previous sentence). The Foxes defended in numbers and held on due to a combination of several offside calls, two shots off the woodwork, and some really poor shooting by the Cherries ..read more

Photo by Plumb Images/Leicester City FC via Getty Images A one-man rearguard almost secures a point. Almost. Leicester City suffered a heartbreaking defeat at the Emirates on Saturday. Two injury-time goals doomed City to a 4-2 defeat when it looked like they might escape with a draw. There were some fantastic performances, so good ones, and some very forgettable ones as well. Let’s run the rule over the players and separate the wheat from the chaff and...wait, why would anybody want to be wheat? I don’t know. I guess wheat is just. that. good. Anyway, let’s do this: Mads Hermansen - 9 Did eve ..read more
