Incognito Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Lejeune really should try and hold Vardy up instead of committing himself but what the fuck was Clark doing? Like a schoolboy following the ball. He stays with Okazaki and there is no goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I know our players are pretty average but we can't even pass the ball, attack with any structure and our defending has gone to pot. Sorry but that must lay at Rafa's feet in this poor run, poor players or not we're better than we're playing right now. The players aren't solely to blame, tactics and selection by the manager haven't helped. Rafa has to have some money in January or we're toast.

Guest firetotheworks Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Not good enough. We know our players aren't good enough, but that was a joke from every single player bar Gayle and Joselu. Leicester barely showed anything, they weren't accurate, misplaced passes, tried passes that shouldn't come of but did, all because our tackling went straight back to them, we were weak, slow, sloppy, irresponsible, unprofessional, tactically wrong, outnumbered in midfield, and too slow to change it. That match was crying out for Shelvey to put his foot on it in midfield and dictate play. I hated that match more than any in recent memory, absolutely horrible match.

triggs Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 My favourite part of our matches is when Mitrovic gets his cameo and shows that compared to a certain someone, he can actually play football. Every f***ing time. Joselu was fine Was he? Mitrovic looked much more imposing and more like a football player than Joselu ever will, imo. Joselu tried today but he hasn't got what it takes. Mitrovic was on for about five minutes, he'd want to look more imposing. Joselu scored and generally linked it well. The Mitrovic obsession after every single game from some people is embarrassing at times Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odear Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Toothless in midfield.. it’s embarrassing how soft we are. Nobody willing to put in a tackle and get stuck in. Merino has been poor today in protecting the back 4.. Hayden has been invisible. Despite getting back to 2-2, Leicester we’re comfortable all through the game. Passing it right through the middle because they knew nobody would tackle them. Rafa got it wrong today, again. Everything we were doing right at the start of the season we’ve stopped doing. We’re not playing as a hard to beat compact unit any more.. we’re shipping 2, 3, 4 goals a game.. Even with a takeover, and some serious investment.. there’s no guarantee that will pick this bunch of players up now. The total lack of confidence that this squad has could rub off on any player coming in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1pe Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Awful effort from us. Managing to scrape back to 2-2 to then get completely exposed again is just pathetic. We’ve done nothing but ship goals since changing systems and it’s time to go back to at least looking solid. Leicester were very good in the first but had to put so little effort to win that game in the second half. If there was any positives to take Gayle is looking dangerous and Atsu looked noticeably better than what we had on the pitch. Everton is a must win now.

steve_69 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I’m beginning to think we need another centre back as well. It’s the only position I thought we were well stocked in but Lejeune needs time that we don’t have and Clark is looking dodgy as fuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlito Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I love that we have Rafa but he has to take his share of the responsibility now. He's getting it wrong every week, against teams around us. We've only played 1 team you could class as around us for a while now. Watford, West Brom, Bournemouth, Leicester. Unless you mean in terms of quality in the side, then I agree A win against any of those and we'd have been top half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, appreciate what Rafa has been trying with Hayden/Merino, but I'd personally drop one of them and bring Shelvey back in for a run of games. He's still our best player imo. Unless there's a way to have all 3 of them playing but tbh I can't be arsed to speculate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I can't believe the defending in the middle issue hasn't been rectified. We've been shit at it for weeks on end. We have to stop conceding goals, man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhoywhonder Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 7 games without a win, Next 4 are Everton, Arsenal, West Ham and Man City. We are f***ed Some winable games there 4 very winable games there. In fact, on recent form I imagine we can all predict 4 pretty comfortable wins.

Jaypee Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Hard to take, that. Encouraging that we fought back, but once again some incredibly shit defending is costing us. Hopefully Lascelles coming back in will help us a bit. Thought Gayle had a very good game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every fucking time. aka neither of you watched the match properly and just want to push the Joselu/Mitrovic button regardless of whether the context aligns with it. Joselu and Gayle were the only players that come out with any credibility, both scored and still the Mitrovic fans force out the tears. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ_NUFC Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Heartbreak of all heartbreaks. They scored from one bit of terrible keeping, one bit of deflection and an own goal. Yet we looked like conceding each time they ventured forward. Something is rotten at the core of this club and it’s the owner, who through neglect, negligence and apathy has allowed to create an atmosphere of failure that has been incredibly difficult to shake off. And his continued neutering of Rafa in the transfer market is simply more of the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chill out man, I prefer Mitrovic over Joselu, he's a better player in every single aspect. If you don't like me stating that then that's fine, but maybe stop replying every single time with the same shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 We need 3 in midfield, we simply can not manage with two Absolutely. Just park Hayden in front of the back four and let Shelvey and Merino control the midfield. Gayle roaming up top and Murphy + Ritchie/Atsu on the wings.
