daddylonglegs Posted 2 January 2016 Posted 2 January 2016 What didn't help today is the fact we sacrificed 45 mins as we decided to play Ulloa. Literally WHY is he starting? What did he offer today? Pressing? No Prescence in the air? Counter attacking? No Ability to hold the ball up is laughable. You can't put a guy in the team because he's decent at defending corners. Was talking to someone at half time today and said that I think he's the worst regularly starting striker in the Premier League. Can anyone think of worse?
walkerleeds Posted 2 January 2016 Posted 2 January 2016 Mahres lost us this game with his fcuking stop start run, never to take another one. We need to sort ourselves out the fight is starting to go from the whole team. He also won us the game at Everton taking penalties in exactly the same fashion.
EnglishOxide Posted 2 January 2016 Posted 2 January 2016 Frustrating that's all really, fans need to stop believing the hype and enjoy the rest of the season, 40 points from 20 games is hardly believable. The players have 10 days off now as I can't see them playing in the FA cup. If we only pick up 10 points from our remaining 18 games it is not going to be enjoyable. I don't know about anybody else but when we got promoted, I didn't sign up to accept fighting for mid table obscurity every season. Neither did the players. That's why it would be infuriating if we bollocks up this opportunity and this season fizzles out.

He was in position to mis control the ball and skew his shot. If you hadn't been told Okazaki was playing would you have noticed?
Dynamogoon Posted 2 January 2016 Posted 2 January 2016 Some div in SK1 was shouting at the players proclaiming that this was the worst football he'd ever seen. Can I request that any idiots stay at home for the rest of the season please. This is the best City team I've seen in my 35 years in this planet (that I can remember) We had "one of those days", and you could argue that Bournmouths first half performance deserved the point. They ain't no mugs
filbertstreet Posted 2 January 2016 Posted 2 January 2016 I was impressed by how Shinji didn't fall over much this game

This time last season we were praying for mid table obscurity.

We could afford 4 or 5 games like that and still be top 6!
DB11 Posted 2 January 2016 Posted 2 January 2016 So frustrating watching that. Not a boring 0-0 by any means, but how did we not manage to score

That's why it would be infuriating if we bollocks up this opportunity and this season fizzles out. At the start of this season our aim was to stay up. There was no way that anybody would of predicted us to be 2nd in the league after Christmas. So at the moment enjoy the ride while it lasts. Let's hope it lasts all season.
Fox92 Posted 2 January 2016 Posted 2 January 2016 Frustrating game, poor result. Could be playing now and we'd still not score. Fair play to Bournemouth, they are a good side.
Seth's dong Posted 2 January 2016 Posted 2 January 2016 Have a word with yourself you prophets of doom. We are 2nd in the PL after 20 games. The fickleness and sheer blind stupidity of fans never ceases to amaze me.
Juvenile Posted 2 January 2016 Posted 2 January 2016 As poor as Inler has been this season, a game playing against 10 men where we created very little was probably a chance we could of taken with him. Both Kante and Drinkwater has ample time on the ball. dyer offered nothing, and when we bring Okazaki on to win us the game, we are always going to be struggling. Striker and winger in the transfer window please.
Fox92 Posted 2 January 2016 Posted 2 January 2016 Have a word with yourself you prophets of doom. We are 2nd in the PL after 20 games. The fickleness and sheer blind stupidity of fans never ceases to amaze me. Doesn't matter where we are in league. 2nd or 12th. I want to beat teams such as Bournemouth at home and having seen the performance today it wasn't good enough. Just because we're 2nd does that mean we can't moan?
Edingleyfox Posted 2 January 2016 Posted 2 January 2016 This was the sort of the game the players did not seem to fancy after the likes of Chesea and Man City.Bournemouth are a decent team to be fair. We looked slow and jaded in the first half but even in the second we looked predictable with the crosses and the wingers did not do enough. The team is safe and perhaps needs to re focus both mentally and physically. Vardy needs another partner hope someone is on the radar and that we are aiming high.We cannot manage with Jamie supported by Dyer or Okazaki as happened this afternoon as they added very little . Not sure what has happened to Dyer after his great debut against Villa but he seemed tentative and unable to stay on his feet. Drinkwater looked better and Kante a class apart
foxes_rule1978 Posted 2 January 2016 Posted 2 January 2016 Doesn't matter where we are in league. 2nd or 12th.

Moan I did, but then I realise we can't be too hard on the team we are second after all... I'm not going to go into meltdown over a loss by 1 goal and a couple of nil nil draws
bovril Posted 2 January 2016 Posted 2 January 2016 Doesn't matter where we are in league. 2nd or 12th. I want to beat teams such as Bournemouth at home and having seen the performance today it wasn't good enough. Just because we're 2nd does that mean we can't moan? You have a valid point. What's happened in the past shouldn't have a bearing on the present form. Today wasn't really good enough from a side chasing 4th place. But some of the reactions are ludicrous. We were not 'woeful', we were wasteful, we missed a penalty, hit the inside of the post and missed an open goal from a corner. Secondly, it's not like this never happens. All teams have lean spells, we were waiting for ours and it's not surprising that we look lethargic over a busy Christmas period the way we've been playing this season. To say "the wheels have come off" at the present moment is ridiculous and yes, it's fickle, because I imagine many of the people on this forum have been watching us play for a couple of decades and should be used to frustrating games like this.
Monsell1976 Posted 2 January 2016 Posted 2 January 2016 We had the most possession today, and it's clear it doesn't suit us, we are a counter attacking side, and at times looked lost when we had possession, and had to break them down.
ithuriel Posted 2 January 2016 Posted 2 January 2016 Heard some muted boo's today. The team is having a bit of a bad spell but I thought it was a bit out of order.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 2 January 2016 Posted 2 January 2016 We had the chances to take all 3 Points but you could just feel it was gonna be 1 of those days... MAHREZ GOOD PENALTY and top performance. ARTUR BORUC superstar goalie just as quick off the mark...BOOM!!! JAMIE VARDY plenty of commitment as per usual keep going kiddo more goals sure to come. POSITIVITY RULES we gained another point! Don't Forget BOURNEMOUTH BEAT MAN UTD. It isn't a crisis but yet again we haven't hit the back of the net. Foxes Remedy JEFF SCHLUPP im ****ing howling
RUDZY Posted 2 January 2016 Posted 2 January 2016 im ****ing howling LIVE LONG LAUGH LOUD & PROSPER MY FRIEND

I don't think 'the wheels have come off' by any stretch of the imagination - nothing like that - but I moaned because I sat through a frustrating (not woeful) performance. I'm disappointed and frustrated, yes these things happen but sitting second in the league does not mean we cannot moan.
