Infinitely Content Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 In recent weeks we have become prone to giving the ball away sloppily with loose passes or getting caught on the ball. Leicester more than anyone in the league will punish us for that. Have to cut that out our game if we're going to get a result today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 In all seriousness I think we'll win. Hope you are right, i doubt it though. The law of averages more than anything else. I mean we have to win some time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Vardy's pace vs Lejeune's lack of it is a worry The whole back four's a worry. They have been s*** ever since Lascelles got injured and that's why we can't keep a clean sheet for love of money. sure but that's a given currently Mbemba not in the squad.. Manquillo back at LB I like Mbemba but he was weak for the goal last week. Manquillo is in because Yedlin was weak for a few games running. It's not like we have great options in that dept. Manquillo is weak for every single attack we have to defend, yet he gets chance after chance. But he's not been directly responsible for as many goals conceded in the last month as Yedlin. I can only think that's how Rafa sees it. Manquillo isnt playing in place of Yedlin though? Who's he in for then? LB Dummett (in turn Mbemba?) Dummett isn't even on the bench, probably not fit enough. Mbemba I already mentioned gave away a weak goal last week, and he's not a full back. Better fullback than Manquillo who has made a lot worse offences, he's only playing because he's Spanish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not wrong tbh, it's a shame our other midfield partners for Merino are offensively inept. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinitely Content Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Given they've been set up to win games solely on the counter for years now, and won the league purely based on that style. Then yes, I would say so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I don't think Shelvey was at fault for our collapse against Man Utd like, he played about 20 minutes total against West Brom and Chelsea. So he was maybe at fault for the Watford game but that's about it, and even then it's pushing it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Mbemba but he was poor for the goal last week and you can't really complain if he's been dropped on the back of it. Goals cost games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man Utd's 2nd I think was, I cannot remember the rest but I'll take your word for it. He probably played some blame but we're so weak defensively that I think blaming anyone for letting the ball come in is harsh like. Our defenders inability to challenge in the area is the biggest problem imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
