lgfualol Posted 2 January 2016 Posted 2 January 2016 Fooking dreadful. If we're faced with any sort of team that defend and don't let us counter, we are terrible. We have become so one-dimensional, Pearson taught us to play attacking football and Ranieri is teaching long balls with sporadic counter attacks. Dreadful. Haha. Pearson, the guy that had us playing 541 in home games against other relegation teams at the hope of a point? We were league top scorers about 3 games ago.
Rasmic123 Posted 2 January 2016 Posted 2 January 2016 bournemouth must think we're shit, two of our three worst performances this season have come against them
Phube Posted 2 January 2016 Posted 2 January 2016 Am I just being stupid, but does it matter whether you win the ball or not, it's a foul no matter what!?
Ozwin Posted 2 January 2016 Posted 2 January 2016 He definitely got the ball but whether or not he tackled from behind, and thus took Vardy's standing leg from beneath him is a different story. Kante's been punished for that sort of tackle all season. Penalty for me.
STUHILL Posted 2 January 2016 Posted 2 January 2016 Have to splash out on a striker now while our stock is high. Never been so frustrated after a game. We cannot have any complaints about what people were saying about us. We are a 2 man team going forward, and now the end products of the pair of them have dropped off a cliff we can't score. Least he can't bang on with the 40 points shite any more. Bet he's over the moon with the 0-0s though so at least he and any Italian Leicester fans are happy. Wow.
foxes_rule1978 Posted 2 January 2016 Posted 2 January 2016 bournemouth must think we're shit, two of our three worst performances this season have come against them We were worse at their place than we were here today... we created well enough to have won this game
MooseBreath Posted 2 January 2016 Posted 2 January 2016 One of those days, nothing more. The only thing that really concerns me is our new found tendency to play it back to Schmeichel for him to hoof it upfield. We don't have anyone upfield who can win more than one in ten of those balls. We're playing 442 so should have plenty of opportunity to get the ball on the floor and down the flanks, especially against such limited opponents.
Manwell Pablo Posted 2 January 2016 Posted 2 January 2016 The replays showed him scraping the ball but it not moving much and definite contact. Don't matter. You just need to touch ball before man and it's fair whether it's a scrape or a thud. I ain't seen it yet so I dunno what he hits first.
ARM1968 Posted 2 January 2016 Posted 2 January 2016 Well we've reached 40pts so what now? We should have won that, but Bournmouth will take points off many decent teams. I really think we need to freshen up, desperate for a striker to take the load off Vardy's shoulders. Defence looks pretty solid. Opposition getting to grips with Mahrez. We did look tired and I think at least 4 players in will help that. Not sure Gray is an immediate answer, but he's a good player. Let's see where we go.
crisp packet Posted 2 January 2016 Posted 2 January 2016 welcome to the rough patch, now we will see what they are made ofHave to agree with this!We looked to have no ideas to break then down. Good time to play the f.a cup and see how the squad fairs up? Time to spend some pound notes me think ..... We've been found out !
FireFox Posted 2 January 2016 Posted 2 January 2016 He definitely got the ball but whether or not he tackled from behind, and thus took Vardy's standing leg from beneath him is a different story. Kante's been punished for that sort of tackle all season. Penalty for me. This. And he doesn't get enough of the ball. Doesn't get it too far out of Vardy's path.
STUHILL Posted 2 January 2016 Posted 2 January 2016 He definitely got the ball but whether or not he tackled from behind, and thus took Vardy's standing leg from beneath him is a different story. Kante's been punished for that sort of tackle all season. Penalty for me. Can see why the Ref gave it, looked a typical penalty unless you had better view and slow mo we got on the replay. Could have had a second too
Legend_in_blue Posted 2 January 2016 Posted 2 January 2016 Referee was poor. Got both penalty incidents wrong. Gave the first one incorrectly, their player did just nick the ball away, and waved away the second when it was a clear push in the back. Still, need to be ruthless when taking the pen. Had a feeling Mahrez would miss it, he's had a bad day. We move on, it's far from disastrous.
weller54 Posted 2 January 2016 Posted 2 January 2016 Bournemouth won at Chelsea ..Beat Manchester United.. No mugs! Should have been in front at half time. Dubious penalty.. Draw a fair result? ...but our 280 minutes without a goal is worrying! Vardy and Mahrez need a rest.. We need depth and new signings next week. Gray already in, but he's one for the future, can't chuck him straight in (apart from the cup match). Hope we sign Austin... Ulloa and okazaki just NOT good enough.
The Doctor Posted 2 January 2016 Posted 2 January 2016 Don't matter. You just need to touch ball before man and it's fair whether it's a scrape or a thud. I ain't seen it yet so I dunno what he hits first. No, you need to win the ball. If you touch it but don't move it then you've not won the ball - it's still there for the striker if you don't pull him down.
blueharmie Posted 2 January 2016 Posted 2 January 2016 How shit was mahrez?? Obviously a ploy so not sold. Get ighalo from Watford in!!
Socks Posted 2 January 2016 Posted 2 January 2016 FFS you lot We are punching WAY above our weight this season on paper we should be bottom half, yeah we have a few good players, but they are knackered for the effort they have put in in past 5 months, u can clearly see that. but... we are 2 points from the leaders! and are safe this season! enjoy it a little and see where it goes. Its nice to enjoy the last half of the season without stressing about going down. I am sure we will get a few decent signings in January.. who knows! some of you expect us to win the PL hands down for some reason....
Rasmic123 Posted 2 January 2016 Posted 2 January 2016 yeah i wanna see the penalty again, in real time i was adamant it was a pen but obviously on the replay you can see him getting the ball. Its whether or not he nicks vardy before getting the ball, would want to see it again. The ref kinda balanced it out at the end though when we should have had a penalty but yeah, the red card was harsh and it does seem to me that bournemouth have been getting some of the rotten decisions and luck that we had last season. Promoted club syndrome eh!
Ozwin Posted 2 January 2016 Posted 2 January 2016 If you go through player to get the ball it's a foul. Full stop.
fuchsntf Posted 2 January 2016 Posted 2 January 2016 CUE overreacting drama llamas.... Ditto, repeat 20 times.Too many scottish doom merchants on fox forum.. 20 games gone, we have only Arsenal in front of us. Oh.mmmmm, just a minute, not too sure, must need new glasses..no WE ARE STILL 2ND. 3 GAMES only picked up 2 pts....eerrrm Against Multi 10mil players, away from home.only 2nd loss.Could of grabbed a pt Against multi 30mil+ players, Best squad in the Land, well earned pt Today, should of won in a poor 1st half performance.Missed open play chances..Also a penalty, Now stab in the back time...oh yes sir, because that what the moaning sounds like..!!!
Rasmic123 Posted 2 January 2016 Posted 2 January 2016 wonder if we're still too good to sign austin? he would have had a hatful today, vardy needs to start placing the ball home instead of trying to put his foot through it all the time
americanfox Posted 2 January 2016 Posted 2 January 2016 FFS you lot We are punching WAY above our weight this season on paper we should be bottom half, yeah we have a few good players, but they are knackered for the effort they have put in in past 5 months, u can clearly see that. but... we are 2 points from the leaders! and are safe this season! enjoy it a little and see where it goes.

This season has the potential to be truly transformative for the club, so of course it's disappointing "dropping 2 points" from games that look winnable. At least safety has been assured, but if not this season, then when? Have to capitalize on the club's current position and TV money to bring quality throughout the squad.
catfordfox Posted 2 January 2016 Posted 2 January 2016 Silly overreactions on here. We haven't been playing well for a couple of weeks now, from the Everton game on. That dip in form has ended up with 1 win, 1 loss, 2 draws. Its not the end of the world, it was inevitable we'd lose form at some point, and we're not losing games. The spine of the team has played virtually every minute all season, theyre now running on empty. Definitely need some signings to freshen it up, especially going forward, where there's a real drop in quality once the main men are off the pace a bit. The test is how quickly we can come out of this slump - here's where Ranieri really earns his wages. Time to keep the faith I think, remember who we are, where we've come from and what we've already achieved, rather than launching into rants about how shit everyone is.
ousefox Posted 2 January 2016 Posted 2 January 2016 Surprised people are saying that was a penalty. Never in a million years. Great tackle. Bournemouth were very unlucky with that. The one in injury time was though.
