Dembele decision making...

Poorer execution I'd say

 

[JC_Yellow]

Dembele's final ball is an absolute shambles. He's looked quite threatening until then.

 

[spmox]

Working in Holland

All sorted- thanks!

 

[chuckbert]

Dembele with some pretty poor passing this half.

True, but looking for a silver lining, at least he’s trying to distribute the ball rather than run into a dead end.

 

[JoeUFC]

I'd pay good money (between £3 and £7.50) to see Harris wheeling away shushing the home crowd in the 90th minute today.

Wahay!

 

[Emilio]

Radox day off his shoulder but they all count

Just watched the replay again from the behind-the-goal camera angle...it was directed towards goal off his elbow

 

[Teddydee1980]

Look much more settled at the back. Makes the Tuesday changes all the more bizarre.

Missanga here causing all sorts of problems, Andrews and McDonnell looking good, if Dems could just find that final pass...

 

[Steve Gilbert]

I think we need to enjoy Missanga while we can because I can’t see him being here long if he carries on playing like this!
What a joy it is to see proper real talent coming out of the academy and without the embargo I’m not sure he would have got such a chance.

 

[Whingit]

Very impressive stuff, our press and intensity are spot on. Seems like a conscious decision to let Souttar have the ball as much as possible.

 

[battman]

So far, so good, but Leicester look like a threat when they eventually get the ball in the final third.

We need to make more of these breaks count, feel like Missanga’s got no change out of the officials and Dembele has been wasteful so far, but we do have some decent options to bring on in Goodrham, Lynch and Donks for later in the game

 

[chuckbert]

The boy just started singing Mo Missanga to the tune of Rule Britannia. Works for me.

 

[Manorlounger]

If Dembele could just pick a final ball, we'd be 2 or 3 in front.

COYY's

 

[WokinghamYellow]

McDonnell looking the player we thought we had signed

 

[Belgium Yellow]

Definitely a better line up is paying dividends. Then again we've been lucky that Leicester have been so poor. A team like how Huddersfield played in the 2nd half would be more than 1-0 up given how wide open they are.

 

[Swaby39]

Really nice balance to us in this game. We’ve got too much physicality for Leicester at the moment.

Second goal could be vital as I don’t see Leicester being that blunt for another 45, but so far Ramsey’s got it spot on.

 

[Isle of Wight Yellow]

The good: McDonnell is everywhere. Dominating the middle of the park. Missanaga is giving their left back an absolute nightmare, finding acres of space. Kioso has showed why he deserved to come back in, and Helik has made some key interceptions. This looks like our best defence at the moment.

Less good: We really should have scored another with the breaks we’ve had. Harris got lucky with the goal (although he did well to get there). Dembele gets into great positions and never seems to do the right thing after. Ref has made three big, bad decisions.

 

[Sarge]

COME ON YOU U'S

 

[londonyellow]

The boy just started singing Mo Missanga to the tune of Rule Britannia. Works for me.

Mo Missanga
Missanga rules the wing
Oxford never never never
Shall give in

 

[Jaboysmith]

Could’ve scored already!

 

[Gregortheox]

Gotta score!

 

[Sarge]

phew!

 

[Sarge]

Helik hurt?

 

[Pgyellow]

Nasty nasty tackle

 

[greatunclekip]

Super stuff. Missanga looking a potential megastar in the making.

Also just seen Millsy has scored an O.G. Fantastic stuff!

 

[Sarge]

c'mon Oxford

 

[Oxymoron]

See those given as red

 

[Sarge]

sharpen up Dembele

 

[Basham Wonderland]

We will rue our missed chances in this second half.

How Riis is still on the pitch is beyond me. Horror challenge.

 

[OxfordBoy]

This has gotten a bit mad all of a sudden

 

[Malc]

I'm quite liking this ref. So far.
