et tu brute Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 So noticeable when Willock went off to be replaced by Longstaff we went to total shit immediately. Until then we played well I have to say, and a perfect away performance against a good team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 I can't get over how poor Leicester were. Even in the early stages it looked like we could haul against a calamitous back three. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Newcastle won an away Premier League match against a side starting the day as high as third in the table by two or more goals for the first time since December 2001, when they won 3-1 at Arsenal under Sir Bobby Robson.

HaydnNUFC Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Best performance under the fat prick, that. Kind of annoyed we conceded 2, as a win by a 4+ goal margin would not have flattered. Keep this fucking level up man. So annoying that we won't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite Rogers winning loads of league titles with Celtic, I'm starting to believe that he is a bit of a bottler. I’d take him in a heartbeat. The difference between those good coaches though and say someone like Sir Alex, Wenger and even Guardiola is how they managed the squad and keep the right players fresh for the right moments. Leicester basically played the same 11 for the guts of the season. They have good players who can come on but the main bulk looked absolutely knackered. Even with us at a lower level, Benitez knew how to do this too. We had such few injuries in comparison to Bruce. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HTT II Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 If they were to finish in the top 4, that’s some achievement tbh, but of most of their rivals, they should have wrapped this up comfortably by now. It does point to a deficiency in BR’s lead teams hugely. I still think he’s a bit of a bluffer/fraud. Easily the best manager outside of the top/elite mangers though still.

Dr Jinx Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 A few of their players have gone off the boil at the wrong time too. Vardy and Maddison in particular. Earlier in the season they were unplayable. Still, it’s a massive achievement for a team like Leicester to be comfortably in the top 6 for 2 seasons in a row. Having a stable club with owners who show ambition and know how to make the place a happy working environment for all their staff cannot be underestimated.

Could see the difference though when Willock went off and then Bruce took ASM and Wilson off, we looked like we might actually throw away a 4-0 lead. I hate Bruce as much as anyone but even I'm struggling to blame him for resting players at 4-1 up with 10 minutes left, we should just be able to do that, but fucking hell it shows how badly we rely on certain players.

CPL Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 On the skysports highlights, around 2.06, when we go 4-0 up, someone shouts,'Oh yes! I do love playing away'. Is that Ritchie? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said this a while ago that their fixtures at the end are bad and that they would end up bottling it. I didn’t think they would start angina at us, or Southampton before us where they only managed a draw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Didn’t help himself by going all ‘Souness v Fulham’ and just throwing on attackers for fun when chasing the game. Still a top manager and excellent team, though. Our best result since we beat City 2-1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Ham and Liverpool have a really generous run-in by comparison too. Chelsea’s is a bit grim, which could work out even worse for Leicester as it’s likely Chelsea will need to beat them. I’d make West Ham favourites for a top 4 finish if they beat Everton. Tottenham also have a bit of a chance, they play Leicester on the final day and will only be 4 points off them if they win today.
