MANAGER'S ASSESSMENT ON LEICESTER DRAW

[@shahid1296ify]

Ben Johnson was so so good today. Haven't liked his performances until today. Amazing. However I miss Tuanzebe. We do need him and Greaves back in defence

[@ruffness1]

Keep believing and onto the next one. It’s been a tough start and we could have had more luck but we’re competing well most weeks and not getting run over by teams like other promoted teams in recent history. And back the team and the manager ( as we have done).

[@RoseannYoung-th7cb]

Still learning and your comments really help getting to know the team thank you

[@fredrikstenberg8843]

Much better days are soon coming as long as we are continiously working hard and play according to this intelligent managers plans. Town is actually already a great team Cajuste i.e will be an important factor with his swedish- steel-style. Really looking forward to the rest of the season.

[@rjcoins970]

Shocking refereeing and equally inept in the VAR box The last 20 mins was 12v10

[@RoseannYoung-th7cb]

The manager does an excellent job he trains the players well he supports them points out the positive and addresses there weaknesses he has pride for them and proud of his team

[@KhalidKhalif-u2p]

Coach just focus on the Defensive.. And we wants to See Ali Alhimadi every game!! Hard Luck 🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶

[@tirtoananda4348]

Well Done & Goodluck For Ipswich Town.

[@shahid1296ify]

I know we were the better team but... The stats show that Leicester had the most possession, most shots on goal etc etc. Hard to justify , because from what I saw we were all over them after the first 20 mins

[@Ezsy1996]

before he got sent off i think phillips, johnson looked amazing all game.i dont personally think the subs were needed this game but in mckenna we trust. FK THAT REF AS WELL

[@kankanzheige]

93rd minute: When Soumare wins ball off Morsy he knows immediately he has advantage over Burns. Positioning of Cajuste and Burns in that moment was naive and exposed the 4 defenders. But Morsy has underestimated Soumare's determination there. When he lost ball Ipswich were banjaxed and Leicester knew it. Vardy's lay-off was easy work for him. Nevertheless, because of performances, still believe we will get more than 35 points before we play Leicester again on May 18th in penultimate game of season. Other clubs are lacking unity/spirit/cohesion on and off pitch. ITFC player-fan connection is exceptional. Leader has laser-like focus. Brilliant set of players that keep growing/learning about EPL demands game by game. No matter how much the fans believe (they evidently do), the players seem to believe more. That's how it should be and is why they continue to be so thrilling to watch. Expect we will get more ppg as season goes on. Ignore MOTD pundits - they make superficial observations, which misleads general perception in wider football media.

You might need to take a sock off for this. Count the fingers & thumbs on each hand & that should make ten. Then count one of your piggies & add that to your fingers & thumbs & that should make eleven...???...Are you following..?? you see, you mis-counted.

@@mahmoudalnabhan5272 cuz Phillips should not have been sent off and chaplin should have got a penalty.

[@andrew6069]

McKenna is a young manager, he should take a lesson from this match. Phillips was on a yellow but just kept throwing himself about and picking up fouls from the ref who was calling an absurdly tight game. It's easy to say from my couch that he should have swapped this ticking time bomb for Cajuste but it takes a lot of experience to recognize that on the touch line and make the call to take off a critical player.You can't give these officials the opportunity to send players off this year, they seem to really get a kick out of it.

That may be a fair point but it would have been irrelevant if the pen was given.

You are all living in the past. Stop treating him like a god. He's a human being and as a human he's prone to make errors. I doubt he learned anything from his start in League One as he makes same mistakes over and over again. Town cannot defend at all. It was the most important task to solve in the training ground and in the transfer market during summer. He failed to do it so I have every right to say he's not up to Premier League standard yet. We can blame referees, we can blame players but he's also responsible for winless run.

[@achilleshealerssportstherapy]

As blatant a penalty as the foul by Lewis/Savinho against Davis versus Man City. The Premier League are biased against smaller clubs and McKenna is such a gentleman not call out the corruption. Soft foul and card for Phillips this week as was Clarke’s last week against Brentford. Ipswich are going to have to score 3 each week to have any chance of beating the referee, VAR and opposition working hand in glove to crush the minnow. COYB 💙🤍💙🤍💙 ITID 💙🤍💙🤍💙
