Looking forward to the story where Leeds are being done next and Ipswich are leading the charge to have them punished.

It's a dive and it's cheating. He jumps on the floor with no contact. Vardy's go to move typically is to knock it past an opponent and then just run in to their legs It's cynical but it's also not entirely a dive. I don't really know that we particularly have a word for it. Eden Hazard used to do it all the time, Grealish does it a lot. It's just very obviously baiting a leg to specifically win a foul.

Still a ****ing stupid tackle.

Yes but literally every striker, all of our attackers in fact, are butchering these chances. Who do you want him to select?

Before anyone blamed Maresca - what the **** is he supposed to do about the absolutely RIDICULOUS number of clear cut, almost 1.0xg chances key players have missed for us this season? When Daka, Vardy, Mavididi et all are standing point blank in front of goal and ****ing up what is he meant to do? Daka misses the chances that would have won it at Leeds so he plays Vardy in this who basically misses a hattrick. He can't go out there and do it for them. The way we're setting up the team it's clearly creating chances every week. The players have to be ****ing accountable. They're the reason we're in this league.

I'm genuinely just embarrassed. This is sincerely the most impressive bottle job in modern football history.

IHEANACHO???? WHY????

I genuinely think we're going to finish outside the top 2. This is the first time I've thought that this season. Genuinely think the bottle has completely gone.

Nahki Wells has scored 1 goal in 18 games. We all know what's going to happen next.

Both teams largely crap. If we're very honest they should have had at least one pen in the first half. But somehow Jamie Vardy has missed maybe two of the most incredible chances in his whole Leicester career. One was a one on one right in the middle of goal and the keeper not even really closing the angle. The second was gifted right to him with the keeper out of position. Both times he hit it straight at the keeper like 2018/19 Barnes.

Vards man. Absolute legend. But when we were in Primary school you'd know to put that back the way the keeper was coming from. That might be the worst of the lot. Man should have a hattrick. Not his day.

There's no need

If Daka missed that he'd be practically getting death threats on here.

Do think Fatawu and Mavididi are both victims of their own success tbf. Start of the season it seemed like everyone wanted to defend very narrow against us. Our wide players got so much time and space to work with. As soon as people realised the quality they had they've been marked extensively. A minute ago Mavididi was three on one down that channel and we don't have a full back threatening to overlap. With Doyle and Ricardo we've got two greater passers behind who can then exploit the gaps that are elsewhere and pick out free players. JJ and Hamza generally gonna do that less.

That's usually when he scores

Yeah that's the biggest worry. I think we need more than a break, we need a weekend to go our way. We need a comfortable win and for Ipswich or Leeds to stumble, something actually tangible to give the players confidence.

He's here, he's there, he's every ****ing where...

Jesus christ.

The tactics and style of play aren't the problem. The problem is the general malaise and wavering confidence that's completely crept in to the squad pretty much since the new year.

VAR gives that as a pen for me. Probably both of them. Thing we're very lucky.

Don't care what pelters I take for this, we miss Daka in the build up when he isn't playing. Vardy is unquestionably the better finisher but he doesn't give as much to the team. (Vardy goal any second haha.)

Pressure

The team won't look anything like this and a lot of the pressure will be off tbh. The way we played in the first half of the year we'd have beaten a good half of the Prem.

Well this is a shit start eh.

at least this ref is consistent Faes awful then
