  1. Other defenders were really frustrated with him in the second half, particularly Faes & Ayew. He had to have a word first with Hermansen and then one of the coaches at the side. He went bright red again I know Justin's a scapegoat, get Ricky back in and all that but JJ's been really quite good aswell. These guys are now up against tough tough opponents every week. Semenyo was a huge physical presence, explosive and skilful; then right afterwards we had to defend against a fresh legged Sinisterra.
  2. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cx25jy2qpnwo Txiki leaving Man Chitty end of season. Could've picked a better time to announce it than with them battling a legal case.
  3. This place is incredibly toxic. Fair enough you're convinced Cooper isn't the best man for the job, we've lost a great coaching team in the summer to Chelsea and we're back to being Premier League whipping boys. Some of the signings haven't had an impact, manager has his favourites and a completely different way of playing to what we grew accustomed to last season as a big fish in a small pond racking up wins. I just haven't ever seen it go this bad from so many established posters on here. Now stickied manager out because we lost a very hard fought game away at a team who could realistically end up with more than 90 points and maybe even Champions. Everton concerned me, we should be more potent from the start of the games, and the manner we immediately conceded against Palace after going 2-0 up was a red flag moment. We've just stormed the Championship so a winning determination still has to be in there with the players and a win was so so desperately needed. If we don't pick up points against these more level looking games - Bournemouth, Southampton, Forest, Ipswich - no doubt he'll be under immense pressure for his job. I'm just concerned this same energy will then entirely be vented towards the Club, owners, players and we'll plummet as the energy turns completely sour if we don't rebound, or the fans don't take to the next new manager again. We're then heading down to the Championship with a cannibalistic fanbase picking at everything imaginable to bash the Club with. We're now Premier League, but we aren't established any more. This season is akin to 14/15 in outlook. It will be hard, we will lose often, everyone will have to dig deep to stay up no matter who the manager is. I just hope everyone doesn't keep their head in the sand, we get some results somehow, somewhere... and we're more flexible of a fanbase coming out of it, no matter the outcome.
  4. Went 3-2 from a deflection off a corner and then decided to sub one of our 2 centre-backs to go all out attack in desperation.
  5. Don't want to see anything like the start against Everton. Go out to win the game, run them ragged, boss the midfield, cut out their attacks and cold blooded ruthlessness up front, please. We've shown against Arsenal today the talent is there in our players, now go out and don't leave any more space for excuses.
  6. Suprised they didn't look at it. Gordon's skipped over the keeper and dragged his foot, I don't think there's any contact.
  7. That's a dive
  8. Forest bought an easy pen today then, obviously. Hudson-Odoi easing his leg across a running defender instead of shaping to shoot or pass.
  9. One of those refs who seems to have a different yellow card threshold depending on whether it's gone past half time or not. Everton kicked a few balls away to stop us taking quick free kicks too, no cards. Fairly sure there was a corner call we should've got second half. ... but yeah, not the worst we've had this season.
  10. Can’t excuse the start to that game; so pedestrian, so slow, far too casual. Eventually get back into the game and Everton were there for the taking, they looked knackered from the equaliser yet we still couldn’t carve the open. Wilf falling over himself in the final third, panicking at opportunities. Thought Mavididi was our best performer. Everton no.10 best player on the day but tired very early. We’ve quickly found ourselves in a dogfight yet again but we’ve failed to snatch the desperately needed 3 points today.
  11. It's Sai Sachdev; Leicester born, released by us at 13, played at Aylestone Park til 16 then joined Sheffynited. Their forum saying it was Scott Carson's lad who's injured him.
  12. Great half, Palace had chances too. Need to take this away from them, still be patient but keep sharp. Okoli v Mateta an interesting one. Ayew gives us something much different.
  13. Wow this place is a miserable read these days. C'MON LEICESTER
  14. Decent interview to listen to in the background, quite a few names of the past and present pop up.
  15. Gutted. Him scoring with his first touch for us against Man City in the FA Cup under Sven back when we were in an aspirational Championship club phase, whole ground singing his name. Sooool, Sol Bamba. Overcame some big challenges in life, came across as a great bloke. RiP Sol
  16. Fatman Scoop died on stage earlier today. His last words were "if you came to party, make some noise!". Undoubtedly a legend.
  17. There's the abrupt welcome back to the Premier League. American owned London Club, full of tourist fans who make sod all noise. Defensively we didn't start well, again. Up front struggled with their physicality, really big strong players at Fulham. Ayew with an alright cameo... still need to improve potency up front.
  18. Three defensive players who all speak a language the vast majority of Premier League attackers won't be able to understand. Not sure how much of a bonus that is. Great to have him back anyway. Whips balls in nicely and a battler. Seem to remember him going bright red quite often in the relegation season, which I couldn't figure out was rage or just a flush.
  19. Yup, went around counter clockwise at the end before the teams/officials fully separated from the middle.
  20. He'll be back in the England squad playing like that, surely.
  21. Announced himself there. Highly skillful, up for the scrap and intelligent too. Could have a higher ceiling... just hope he enjoys himself here.
  22. Terrific second half, had them on the ropes, Kop bouncing. Beautiful move almost cut through them. Spurs wasteful at times but we stayed disciplined, kept going, kept fighting. Mads to the rescue, thought Justin was absolutely superb and could be in for another England call-up if he keeps performing. Which is incredibly hard on Ricardo, who I adore as a player. Fatawu stepping up aswell, such a gem of a player. Buonanotte a scrappy, skillful, intelligent playmaker an' all. I'll take that result anyway. Hopefully another striker in. Start picking up some results, get the confidence up for when we're inevitably hit by PSR restrictions.
