  1. Much better this second half. It feels like it's coming. Faes has been really good after the dodgy start
  2. Better this last 5-10 mins
  3. Not a subscriber to the athletic so I can't read the article and I know headlines don't often accurately reflect what is said in the piece, but I would suggest there have been lots of signs that vardy has slowed down in the last couple of seasons
  4. Showed some good fight but I thought Hull were the better side today. They looked alot fitter than us as well. Not quite sure what the instructions have been this last couple of games, they seem to have gone alot more direct but it's all looked pretty desperate without much of a plan behind it at times
  5. While this does seem to be a technicality, the important part for me from the ruling was where the EFL argued that we have not disputed that we will be in breach of the upper loss threshold for 23/24. I'm slightly confused about why we would be looking to make enemies of the EFL on a technicality while also trying to get them to be lenient on the substantive point
  6. We showed some real fight there and threw our bodies on the line, so that's a positive. The overall performance was really confusing though, they look sometimes as though they're caught in 2 minds about whether to stick or twist and we were just inviting pressure on at the end. We've lost and drawn games we should have won this year though so let's take it and move on
  7. Told you this ref was good
  8. Mads there running out looking for a counter attack and nobody wants it
  9. It wont happen but I'd have KDH off before Yunus tonight. He looks leggy to me and they keep doubling up on him so giving him a rest might open some space up down that side
  10. I think we've played in moments all season. But if I try to think of a typical goal we score, I can't really do it. Obviously it's not bad to score in different ways, but I never saw the clear patterns of play consistently. And even in our most dominant games, we've always conceded chances
  11. Not a huge difference between this performance and most games we were winning earlier in the year. We've played on the margins for most of the season and even with the massive lead we built I was never fully convinced it would be comfortable. We really need Wilf back, he might not have the numbers that KDH has but I think he's been our most effective attacking player this season
  12. Would love to see Yunus getting more game time in the league. His finishing was poor tonight but he makes things happen and I think he's one we should be looking to keep
  13. Anyone else thinking 'don't shoot' when it was rolled back to him?
  14. This is the sharpest I've seen Kel look in a while
  15. First half was one of the best we've played this season. If the second half is all about conserving energy, I don't really understand why we don't make changes sooner to inject a bit of energy back in the team
  16. I'm not sure why this has all come about now. I think we created far more yesterday than we have done in alot of other games and I've definitely seen duller games this season. While I do get why Enzo is frustrated, I'm not sure this is the best way to get people on board. I think it's a bit concerning that he's chosen to come out in such strong terms considering the position we're in and maybe reveals a wider frustration of other things going on at the club. Either way, I don't think he has enough credit in the bank at this point to be calling out fans, whether he has a good point or not
  17. As frustrating as Daka is at times, I think his pace in behind does provide space for others and we are more creative as a team with him in there. I'd like to see Yunus given a run in the team as well, I think he's definitely got something about him. He made that finish tonight look simple but there's plenty who would have lashed at that
  18. Watched them batter Swansea in the first half and they press really high up the pitch. Would be nice to see us field a strong side to see how we cope with it
  19. I'd say the wingers have the hardest job in this team. They have to work really hard defensively and are then expected to provide most of the creativity by beating players who are often sitting in low blocks and have been given plenty of time to get in shape by us playing around for long periods of time between the defenders and keeper. McAteer's work rate is fine, although I thought he looked quite leggy at times last night, but I just don't think he has what it takes to provide the creativity this system needs. That's not to say he wouldn't be a good player in another system or team, I just can't see him kicking on playing in this team
  20. To be fair to our fans, we seem to be in a no win situation this year. We win games and get criticised for celebrating because we've got the biggest budget in the league and should walk it. And yet when we drop points we're arrogant for having a bit of a moan. Obviously some of the reaction is over the top, happens on all football forums I've ever seen. And I'm sure you're right that the title win had an impact on the mindset of some fans. Add in the fa cup and European football in recent seasons and you'll have to forgive us for not wanting to party at a home draw against Ipswich (closest competitors or not).
  21. No point in going over the top, but we have to get more progressive on the ball at times. It's not even going against the philosophy because they're easy balls forward but it's almost like it's a game plan to go backwards at times. And it just gives encouragement to the opposition to come on to you. They're a well coached side but with the greatest respect their players are pretty limited and if we can't cope with them coming on to us then it's clear something isn't quite working
