Most crosses from wide are around those percentages. That's the nature of crosses, you can't expect passing type percentages.

I should've simply stated that A LOT less crosses are finding their designated target today. We've been both without concentration going forward and shaky at the back.

No comeback today I'm afraid

We've created more from open play than they have if you ask me. Fairly even play other then with their bloody set pieces. Says everything that their scorers are defenders.

Still quietly confident we can get something from this.  Dyer and Mahrez on and see what happens.

 

Two crosses into the box have done us (still think the second is offside but stream won't show any replays), at least we're not being battered like Arsenal.

 

EDIT, just seen it again.  At least a yard off - what exactly are linesmen for if they can't spot an offside from a static corner routine?

Need to drop Okazaki from starting 11 tbh

This. Good start to the season but has done F all since then. Ulloa has deserved a start for weeks now.

Hoping our fitness pulls something out of the bag because they've been very comfortable this half. Haven't made them work for anything. Kante and Vardy haven't been at it at all like they usually are and Schlupp hasn't taken his man on nearly as much as normal.

Mahrez will come on to change things up but no Ulloa has done us already. Their defenders are having a ball.

Don't waste Mahrez now. Save him for next week. The games over. Thanks CR.

 

How many more times do we come back from losing positions for people to realise it isn't over after 45 minutes. Stop being a baby.

It sounds frustrating, we've had chances but undone by our poor defensive errors again (I mean again regards conceading before anyone assumes i'm moaning only because we're losing).

 

Get a quick (Very quick) goal in the 2nd half and we're back in it but can't see a way back if we go into say the 60th minute still 2-0 down.

 

Gotta sort this defence though!

Surely CR needs to stop banging on about taking the team for pizza and sort his tactics out to make us keep a clean sheet. Reverting back to 3-5-2 where we looks absolutely solid last year would be a good start...

Okazaki is too inconsistent, I just don't think he's any good against physical defences, it's certainly a result that's been coming, I've been very worried about playing sides with competent attacks, our "open" style is an invitation for good attackers to flood forward, we could end up getting whacked against anyone with decent forward lines.

Surely Ranieri is smart enough to know we can't play every game in the same way?

Posted

Do our players look tired/lazy to anyone else?

Looking a lot like the Spurs game. Southampton are sitting deep and we are playing away so we don't want to press forward too much otherwise Mane will expose our lack of pace on the counter.

If Ulloa was on the pitch instead of Shinji we probably wouldn't have conceded.

Dyer on for Albrighton, 

Mahrez on for Okazaki

 

We have come back from 2-0 down before, can do it again :)

 

losing 2-0 yes, played poor and still had chances, Vardy after 5 minutes shot over bar, Huth missed when should have at worst hit target, we will get opportunities to score. Problem is stopping them scoring when we can not defend at all. 

 

Also, why the hell do we not have players on both posts from corners / free kicks around the box. Simple thing to do and will help prevent possibly both goals. 

Posted

Taking 8 touches to play 5 yard passes is not helping. The tempo isn't good enough, Southampton are battling harder.

Okazaki needs to get off the floor. Ridiculous we haven't got a striker on the bench to replace him.

The goals are obviously horrible. Just basic defending but tbf the second is clearly offside.

Need someone to lead and shake it up now. We need to work harder and up the tempo. Could do with a cambiasso.

Get mahrez and dyer on.

Two set pieces ffs and  fine margins at this level, we have had our chances but not taken them, again leaving ourselves a mountain to climb in the second half, painful.
