Dean Smith - Confirmed

[N'ZMAV]

Kodjia walks around like he is a super star , which if he made an effort and looked up and passed more , would be

so would I if someone paid me £2mil a year for doing fuck all.

If the players are still with him - and it looks like they are - the fans ought to be too.

My opinion - He's lost one and is well on his way to losing the other

He may have lost a few blokes on an internet forum but it seems far from that in the real world to me.

Totally agree with your view Chris.

Fair play to Dean Smith. With so many injuries to key players, with Kodjia out as well through illness came up with a brilliant game plan that really stifled Leicester all night. Sure we had a few scares. We played an excellent side and they are rightly beat the top of the PL. But the players fought really hard and but for a moment of incredible careless we might have got out with a win. Fight like that the rest of the season in the league we will stay up. But the tactics and display tonight has given us a real chance in the second leg. It’s all we could have asked for at the start of the evening.

Agreed. We were really hanging on in the second half when the hame got stretched, but in the circumstances it was as good as could be expected. A reassuringly honest assessment of the game from Dean in his post match interview as well.

You're right.  He solved a real problem tonight, albeit one that should never have existed in the first place.

Got his game plan spot on tonight. Looked rightfully livid after the Leicester goal, hopefully he tore Luiz a new one afterwards. But well done Deano.

Luiz again looked like he was playing a second behind everyone else - however, that was a stupid fucking ball played to him in the first place.


So frustrating.

I think i would be targetting Konsa for for the subject of my ire, knocking that free kick short to Luiz was criminal.

[AsTallAsLions]

They were both at fault certainly, but you can't be as naive as Luiz was, in his own half, facing his own goal. Had his pocket picked and all he needed to do was play it back whence it came.

[FrankyH]

Just seen the post match interview , and he didn't appear happy with the performance. I understand we have a hard second leg to overcome , and he probably wants to play it down. But , Blimey Charlie Deano you have defended some turgid performances over the Christmas period and can't raise a smile for that one.

I think he could have laid it back first time , too many touches

[themossman]

He’s pinned it on konsa in his interview.
