At the game. Schoolboy brainless error by Foster for the pen, good CA for thier second. Bobby and Hugheshamf chances at best. Should be 3-0 down. Awful. Absolutely shocking first half. Look like a relegation side today. Peed off is an understatement on the cost to get here.
Why why why the **** do we always turn **** this time of year Ye again we don’t look that bad but havnt got anybody actually able to stick it in the net Can’t see us winning again until the groundhog come out
All half chances again with no end product. We NEED a striker. Success had a good chance at the end but missed it. Creating chances isn’t good enough if you can’t score them. It’s too easy for Leicester and I can’t see what the Goblin can do to change this. Money Bages City are going to tear us to shreds next week on this half showing. I’m going to retake my seat.
What a load of ******** The only three things keeping me happy are I’m going to Cape Verde on Wednesday We are bound to beat Man City If we can find somebody able to score we would win these kind of games Credit to Leicester their 2nd goal was class
We need to try Pereyra, Doucoure, Capoue (when not incorrectly suspended), and Deulofeu, behind Success and Gray. Yeah Gray fluffed his lines, but at least he gets in to dangerous positions and has the best scoring record of any of our strikers. Deeney had just two touches after coming on. Hughes has been useless for ages, too slow to pose an attacking threat. Capoue's red card was a joke - his left foot slips, both his heels are on the ground, and he wins the ball cleanly without going over the top of it. I expect Mariappa will finally be dropped now. Can't wait for Janmaat back either. We had by far the most chances, but our soft underbelly and poor finishing cost us. This was a very similar match to Newcastle away.
My analysis: Gracia - ****. Four and a half years of terrible team selection, playing people out of position and bias towards players who don't warrant it. Yay. Hughes - ****. Absolutely useless for two months, no doubt in part down to Gracia playing him out of position despite how clearly useless he is there. Doucoure - ****. Half the player he looked this time last year. Pereyra - ****. Completely gone off the boil. Mariappa - ****. Embarrassing he's consistently starting games at this level, it's costing us and if it continues then our best centre back in Kabasele is going to want out. Deeney - ****. Completely finished at this level. Offers absolutely nothing the vast majority of time. Gray - ****. Honestly the worst technical footballer I've ever seen at the club. He has less ability than Lloyd Doyley. Absolute comedy performance. Femenia - ****. I hope his performances since coming into the side have made people appreciate Janmaat more. Holebas - ****. Just **** off. Absolutely useless for 4 years bar the first 3/4 games of this season. Useless on the ball, hot headed, and his set pieces, which he should be nowhere near anyway, are truly pathetic.
Crap, utter crap. The effort was there but completely devoid of any ideas or creativity. Scrap the 4-4-2 formation. Mariappa needs to be dropped. Hughes needs to be dropped. GD needs to be a RW. No more penny pinching of defence please. Didn't our most expensive defender cost £3 million. Ben Foster is finished Elton was right. Again, penny pinching with the free transfer. We're on a downward trajectory yet again and it's getting SO boring having this happen every season. If we stumble to 17th place again this year I won't be renewing my season ticket.
Looks like we'll focussing on the teams below us for the rest of the season. Always likely with Gino's reluctance to spent on what was required imo.
Cannot even blame the ref for this one can we ? Daft by Foster and well if you miss open goals you deserve to lose .
Time to rip up the formula and start again. Some very poor results of late, players looking uncomfortable in their positions (Hughes wide right, Deulofeu up front), the confidence and belief rapidly draining away. Switch up formation (I think 4-3-3 / 4-5-1 would suit us well) and give a few new players a chance. Let’s inject some new life in to our team again.
Capoue red cost us. Ref again influencing our results. Would have been a comfortable win otherwise. Schmichael kept them in the game.
Well that was ******* awful. How we didn't get a point with the chances and possession is laughable. Deulofeu is no upgrade on Amrabat and Gray is back to his absolute donkey worst. That header that went miles wide and the air shot from 5 yards our were a joke. I hope we appeal the red card considering both Capoue's feet were on the ball and he didn't touch the Leicester player until they landed on him.
Exactly this, if we'd signed a decent striker in the summer we would have won that comfortably. Putting Kabasele in the side, and leaving more than just two centre backs covering their counter attacks would be an idea too!
We're bang out of luck. It's a rotten run. Refereeing decisions going against us once more (although I suspect the red will be overturned on appeal), plus we cannot take simple chances. All of our strikers have a crisis of confidence. We ARE a very good side, but none of our players show any composure in front of goal. This trend has been going on for far too long. This is yet another game we should have got something from. 8 shots, but 0 on target, it's a stat that's far too familiar. The performances remain good, but the lack of ability by anyone in a yellow shirt when we get near the opposition's goal is absolutely killing us. Following Watford is becoming so predictable and extremely frustrating. You can virtually cut and past the post-match report from so many of our recent games. Since that amazing start, we've picked up just 8 points from 10 games, with City at home and Everton away next on the fixture list.....geez.
Even if we do appeal the Capoue red, we've no chance of winning as the FA will remember the murder of Saint Wilfred of Palace (RIP) that he got away with and feel things are now square.
Our players are ******* clueless and so is the coach. Apart from possible points against Cardiff we won’t get another win until Jan. If JG is seriously happy with this squad, then he is fcking deluded. Why give him such a large contract unless you back him with players. Surely they have to get some in in Jan, it may be too late f they wait until the summer. Slipping down the table even earlier this season. Let’s hope, yet again that there are 3 shittier teams than us again.
We have never got a premier league point at Leicester and I'm afraid repeats of todays performance it will be many years before we are likely to!
There is not taking our chances and there is being toothless in attack, we need to stop relying on moments of magic from the midfielders.
Well Burnley are 3rd bottom with 9 points after 14 games like us. No shots on target-also like us according to BBC
We won't buy another striker until Gino finds out whether Penaranda can cut it. But how long will it take him to get fit/get acclimatised/learn the language so he can be selected?
We were extremely unlucky with the score line today when you look at the balance of the game but this is becoming too much of a regular occurrence. Our finishing was a joke today we had chances and yet I still cant remember us having a shot on target. I think we need to start Gray yeah he is just as bad at finishing as the others but at least he gets into good positions. I would drop Hughes and put Deulofeu on the right wing, Hughes is not quick enough and I think G.D looks a better player out wide. I think we will be fine though we are a good team and we do play some really good football however we don't have any composure in front of goal but hopefully this changes and our strikers get some confidence from somewhere.
We won’t go down so we won’t invest in January. The last days of the summer window to upgrade we were desperate for CB and striker and Pozzo was scrabbling around trying to get Arter or Livermore on loan. Get used to Mariappa, Deeney and Gray is my advice.
