Webbo Posted 15 October 2016 Posted 15 October 2016 Well that was painful. So obvious now what a massive loss Kante was.
SecretPro Posted 15 October 2016 Posted 15 October 2016 Andy King, Formidable left winger. If I was Gray, I'd be smashing a brick into Ranieri's face about now.
Vacamion Posted 15 October 2016 Posted 15 October 2016 Obviously, Musa and Jeff won't start on Tuesday, and mixing it up like that sent a message to the players about Claudio's priorities. We were always gonna struggle. But Musa and Jeff, bad as they were, didn't fail to defend a corner.
Bazly Posted 15 October 2016 Posted 15 October 2016 Not a single shot on target all game. Even the Guardian live writer said Pathetic and or Apathetic.
SCP1906 Posted 15 October 2016 Posted 15 October 2016 ....at least we know where to look in the Jan transfer window.....Defence!Midfield also needs a look.
foxfanazer Posted 15 October 2016 Posted 15 October 2016 We're in a relegation battle without a doubt. Claudio seems unwilling/unable to change things
HankMarvin Posted 15 October 2016 Posted 15 October 2016 gone backwards look at the contrast in Kante and Amartery 18 goals in 19 away games last year 13 in 4 this year Absolute dog shit from front to back Drinkwater only man that comes out of this game with any credit
Spicer Posted 15 October 2016 Posted 15 October 2016 First half was truly truly woeful. Second half we at least showed some fight. We didn't have a shot on target... I think the hate aimed at Musa was harsh, in the second half he was the most lively and in the first he was no worse than anybody else. We need a big rethink.
foxes_rule1978 Posted 15 October 2016 Posted 15 October 2016 Defence and midfield spend spend spend if we make the last 16 of the CL
Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 15 October 2016 Posted 15 October 2016 Expected a loss, got what we deserved, nothing, wrong team selection but hindered by our odd transfer business in the summer
Sir Shep Posted 15 October 2016 Posted 15 October 2016 Sad thing is, it'll be the same defence and formation for our next away game, and another bucket load of goals shipped in.
Wymsey Posted 15 October 2016 Posted 15 October 2016 Thoughts no other than CL. But some of the defending was comical. Seems that opposition has sussed Vardy out.
CloudFox Posted 15 October 2016 Posted 15 October 2016 Absolutely gutted. 0 shots on target. Please change something Claudio. Please. Last season was a one-off, but I would just like to be proud of team's performance in the Premier League again...

Babylon Posted 15 October 2016 Posted 15 October 2016 We didn't lose by more than two goals under Pearson despite being foot of the table, playing 4-4-2, with defenders like Moore, Konch, De Laet. James and King playing regularly in CM, nugent up front etc. We've now been mullered and lost by 3/4 goals three times in eight games is it. The issue isn't 4-4-2, or one particular player. It's how we're going about playing it.
hebangsthedrums Posted 15 October 2016 Posted 15 October 2016 Jeff bossed by Moses. Tried the knock it past and power through routine and was second best every time so gave up.
lgfualol Posted 15 October 2016 Posted 15 October 2016 Absolute shit. I think we would have done alright but our captain showed that he is actually pretty shit again and let Costa have a simple tap-in. Drinkwater for captaincy for me, we need someone to take charge and for players to look up to. When they look at Morgan they see someone that looks way out of his depth. I have supported Ranieri throughout and I still don't put the blame solely on him, more the players for thinking they're stars now and not actually pretty average individually. I think he needs to grow a pair, change formation and drop people. Expect big changes soon otherwise what's the point.
UPinCarolina Posted 15 October 2016 Posted 15 October 2016 Just now, Bazly said: Kante was never the main man at defending corners! And the other 2 goals?
Monsell1976 Posted 15 October 2016 Posted 15 October 2016 Same formation, poor players who keep getting in, same result. That performance first half concerns me more than anything, the sky pundit got it right, "soulless". Morgan needs replacing, so does Albrighton, and sclupp was brought in for pace, which he flatly refused to use, and should never play for us again. As I stated in pre match, Claudio deserves any stick he gets if it backfires, after that selection.

Totally agree, this match was all about defending, not giving away cheap goals, like last season, and then we counter. The reason we lost is because our defence was poor, Morgan has gone backwards, and from midfield we don't give enough protection
Corky Posted 15 October 2016 Posted 15 October 2016 Kante is a huge miss but when you can't be bothered to defend crap corners properly or start tackling each other in your own half then what chance would he have? We were pathetic bar the first 15 of the second half when we actually looked a motivated and decent enough team to pass the ball and get forward. The other 75 was hopeless. They have put huge pressure on next week against an in-form Palace team with this non-display. I hope they've got answers because to lose in that manner was totally unacceptable. Look at the way we lost to Arsenal twice last season- a home game where we conceded five yet were applauded off because of the effort of the team, and the away game where we defended brilliantly until the 95th minute to lose. We were several worlds away from that today and it's the third time in five weeks we've said that.
Benguin Posted 15 October 2016 Posted 15 October 2016 I really don't want to slate 442 because we won the league with it but it really ain't working this year. I really hope Mendy turns out to be the second coming of Jesus Christ when he returns because somethings got to give if we are to stay up comfortably. Slimani was an unbelievable signing but it's clear the midfield is the issue so let's pray that Mendy is up for it.

Guest Col city fan Posted 15 October 2016 Posted 15 October 2016 5 minutes ago, Webbo said: Well that was painful. So obvious now what a massive loss Kante was. It was obvious before mate. 11 goals conceded in three away games and one shot on target today tells you all you need to know. If we'd have not bothered with Slimani and got the midfielder instead, this team would look much much better.
