Dave Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Anita such a nothing player in that first half Might as well not have been out there. Get Saivet on Not much between him or Shelvey IMO. As in, neither were particularly good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedBlackAndWhite Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I think we've done ok. Colback toilet as usual. We know that our squad is poor and fingers should definitely be pointed at Carr and Charnley for allowing this to happen. Pretty much this. We are playing the best team in the league, considering the shite we have out on the field I think we're doing great. Having said that, 6-1 man city sits deep in my memory. We have capitulated so often in the 2nd half of games, would love to see us come out and just... not collapse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odear Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 They have a few exceptional players, Kante is the find of the season, even over Mahrez. We're still in this, I wouldn't say unlucky to be losing.. fucking Colback weak as fuck for that header. Apart from that it's been even enough. Rafa will drive this point home, I think Sissoko will be taken off as he's added nothing really, at least Gini is capable of picking out a pass.

Dogmatix Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Up to now, I think we are doing well, against a team that is top of the league. There is definately an improvement... but it's early days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BONTEMPI Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Need to give them something to think about in the second half. It's in them, they just have to believe ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Wouldn't mind seeing Doumbia on at some point. Their centre backs can be exposed with a ball over the top and into the channels, need to use that pace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leffe186 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Don't get the slating of Anita. Our midfield has not been over run at all, and it has been doing to really good positional play from both himself and Shelvey who is doing a really good job too. Neither Kante or Drinkwater have been much evident either. That area is under control. That's partly due to how Leicester play though. The test is what happens when they counter - for example, when Albrighton gets the free run at Taylor. I've only watched you a couple of times properly - recently - but thoughts are: Mitro has some conditioning issues . Perez has been decent, but lightweight. Defence has been OK considering who's missing. You really see the difference when contrasting Anita with Kante - like boy v man. You've done the basics fine, but there doesn't seem to be a defined plan going forward - which is not really a surprise. I'd like to see Sissoko used a bit like Alli, given more free reign to cause havoc behind Mitro. I think he's limited by a role out wide. He'd be a more physical presence than Perez, and maybe Townsend can get some joy out wide. The problem is that if you have Sissoko, Gini/Perez and Townsend switching round behind Mitro then there's a danger the full-backs will get really exposed. It's up to Anita to cover that.

Nobody Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Anita such a nothing player in that first half Might as well not have been out there. Get Saivet on Not much between him or Shelvey IMO. As in, neither were particularly good. At least with Shelvey we know that he can play a key pass that leads to a goal or even score one himself. We won't get that from Anita.

54 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 We're still rather shit, but atleast were compact and normal shit, and everything is working in the same direction as apposed to the runny loose unorganised shit we've been served up recently.

Mick Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Wouldn't mind seeing Doumbia on at some point. Their centre backs can be exposed with a ball over the top and into the channels, need to use that pace. I would get Doumbai on fairly soon and tell him to run at them through the centre because Huth looks fairly slow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 We've been a bit unlucky not to score. Wijnaldum looks much better down the middle. The same flaws are there but at least we don't look quite so scared. It's interesting watching Leicester. They're deadly in the final third, but no better than average in other respects. But this may just be a year when the big clubs haven't hit form and that's going to be enough. Fingers crossed - we can still get something from this.

Obviously a problem with the movement as well and not just him tbf though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Think Mitrovic has done well so far, by the by. Never have that much confidence in him but those occasions when he brings the ball down it looks extremely natural. If there's a single player we need to raise his all-round game exponentially, it's him imo. The defense will just have to sort itself out as a collective.

He's played the hold up man role quite well today, for sure. Unlucky that Sissoko pulled him down or else he'd likely have a goal today as well.
