I'm trying desperately not to over-react, but it wasn't pleasant viewing. It reminds me of Stoke and we were deader and burieder in that one. Also we have had some decent sniffs and you would think at some point we will get a period of pressure unless they score a couple more.
We just look so unlike the team that we all wish we were though. Leicester look like it instead, and they were meant to be defend and counter merchants. Instead they've gone for us from the off and we've played Monkball. It's all seriously depressing.
Ok, on the plus side, it's not as bad as the same fixture last season yet, and there's time to get our good players sorted out and working together over the next few weeks. In this game, they'll double up on Barrow now, so I think Montero will be needed, even if it opens us up a bit. |  |

Missed most of the half, just seen the highlights of first half, must say for their goal, the crap thrown at Routledge for giving the ball away and then them scoring, I thought he must have lost the ball on the edge of the box trying to run the ball out or something.
So seeing he was on the edge of the box, THEIR BOX, really sums up for me the dopey idiots who support our team, who feel the need to have a scapegoat every season and select a player to blame for everything all season. |
If that had been the only time he gave the ball I'd agree with you. The thing is, it wasn't! He's consistently given it away and you'd seen the the whole half instead of the highlights your opinion might be different. |  | | |

Yeah Guido, bring on McBurnie, that's the answer mun. |
I'd rather he took early retirement back in Italy. |  | | |

Hull we dominated the game in every area minus the most important which of course is the final third. It's pretty clear to me that Llorente was only intended to be the back up striker by Guidolin; if Borja's transfer fee wasn't an indicator then just how ineffective Fernando has been against Hull and in the first half against Leicester is.
Against Hull there should be no excuses though. The very least we should have been getting from that game was a point. Mistakes were made both by players and the management with McBurnie criminally left off the bench and giving us only the Llorente option upfront. Hull deservedly won with a strategy that worked to perfection.
Here at Leicester we're facing a very good side and supporters so quick to criticise without sufficient evidence, quite frankly, need to stop peering so far up their arses thinking that we should be winning these games. What can we establish this season? Routledge should not be playing, he's been poor three games in a row now and Nacer Chadli would be a refreshing reinforcement. Fernandez is wild and unpredictable; he's missed a clutch of set piece chances and picked up dangerous yellow cards.
This game, apart from Fed's error, I feel the back four has worked extremely hard and were caught out by Vardy. It's happened so many times before to other teams and that finish was class. The midfield has been working away and Cork/Fer have evidently pulled up their socks to nick balls off Leicester whenever they can.
It's going into their half where the problem lie again. I guarantee you that a front four of McBurnie, Siggy, Montero and Barrow would actually have much better luck than the front four we fielded in the first half. I think further that Baston will add another dimension upfront - he hasn't even played yet so we can't truly judge how our attacking play will shape up this season until he is back.
If you want to complain and spell relegation then be my guest. I'm going to keep being realistic, optimistic and support my team thank you very much. [Post edited 27 Aug 2016 16:02]

Blind faith doesn't help either. It's how we kept Monk for so long. I agree that the first game was great. Last week we played OK but were made to look naive when it came to closing out the game.
That half was terrible. And it would be remiss to not be critical. In fact I'd go as far as to say anyone who was content with it is probably not a supporter; that is if I was given to telling people how to think, like some massive egoist... |  |

Yes what a team doesn't mean is people behind them, believing in them. what awful plastics those people are who are positive.
FFS! There's room for both to be honest. this place would sound like an echo chamber and suicide notes if everyone was constantly depressed and on about how crap players are game in and game out.
Have a breath. There's no good criticizing who is more a supporter or which opinion is virtuous. At the end of the day everyone who comes in holding up the badge is a good fan on the day. |  |

Every TRUE fan will criticise performances constructively (in the main) but still turn up next week/month/year....
The Plastics will criticise for the sake of criticising and then go shopping with the missus next week/month/year....

What is wrong with Gilfi, that last attack came from him just giving the ball away, instead of threading the ball through.
Huth handball for goal. | | | |
