Ipswich 1-1 Leicester - the fans' verdict
- Published
We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Ipswich and Leicester.
Here are some of your comments:
Ipswich fans:
Mike: Ipswich were brilliant - measured in play, aggressive, forward thinking, first to every ball. Unfortunately the ref and VAR were against us again - second home game in a row no penalty given. I'm sure we will have an apology from PGMOL like last time. Unfortunately doesn't give us the points back.
James: This was a big improvement on recent performances, with Town producing plenty of heart, a firm defence and a considerable threat going forward. We would have won the game nine times out of 10. It is a travesty we aren't coming away talking about Leif Davis' wonder goal but instead - yet again - discussing a sub-standard refereeing display.
Oli: Good Ipswich performance but poor (again) from referee and VAR. Almost every foul on Ipswich went unnoticed yet trying to book almost every player in the Ipswich line-up. Philips has to be more astute when on a yellow. Turned the game.
Paula: Should have been a penalty to Chaplin (right in front of us). No idea why VAR wasn't consulted. Should have been a free-kick to Morsy just before the goal. Didn't see the red card incident so can't comment on that. Ipswich were much the better side for the vast majority of the game.
Leicester fans:
Neil: Leicester got away with a result. Until the red card, Ipswich were the better team and Leicester struggled to show any real quality going forward. After the red card, the game changed and Leicester could have won it. A decent away point but not a great performance.
Simon: Not good enough again. We can't rely on scraping a point in added on time. We need to change our team selection and style. Cooper is out of his depth to compete at this level. The sooner the club sees this the better.
Wayne: We're still trying to establish our best 11, or 14, since being back in the Premier League. Post-Maresca's chess-style system was always going to be tough, and Cooper is trying his best to find that team. We lack transitioning from midfield to high-quality goalscoring opportunities around and in the box. The sending off was pivotal.
Narcis: This was an important point for the Foxes in a relegation battle. Now on course to stay up in the PL!
