How Do You Fix The Problems?

[adejo92]

I am starting to think that Raneiri is more used to career mode on Fifa. Same formation & tactics whoever we play. Should be altering formations to suit opposition.

 

 

[Always Next Year]

Stop fcuking about with the team, and stop the long ball over the top, teams now know how to deal with it.

We are just giving the ball away almost every time.

[Wymsey]

January is going to be worrying at this rate when Mahrez and Slimani both go to ACON.

i would be tempted to just try out last seasons 442, same players with amartey for kante and tell them they're only allowed to hit long balls if it's obvious they can clear the defence, pass to each other quickly and don't worry if they lose it. then again i'm not a football manager!

Accept that Kingy is not the solution in a 2 man midfield at this level and pick a team/formation accordingly!

As if kingy was the problem today. He created chances and had chances to score himself.

 

How about we stop wanking over drinky who completes 5 yard passes for fun. But spends all game trying to play Beckham esq Hollywood balls.

 

Just a suggestion like.

thank you, someone else sees it

 

Angry wasn't the word for watching Drinkwater today, doesn't help by being surrounded by people that think England would have won the Euro's had they picked him this summer.

I'm sick to death of seeing him lump the ball forward aimlessly giving the strikers zero chance to do anything with it, its that or firing a pass back at someone that just passed to him as they have 2 players up their arse putting them under immense pressure immediately and who he was trying to pass to for the winner today I'm not sure as I don't think we had a player in the same post code as his "pass".

His error today could have happened to anyone. But the aimless over the top ball that worked last season. Has about a zero success rate this year. Time to stop wanking over him playing for england.

Kingy created naff all of worth, he was awful, in fact the first goal was due to him letting Morrison run unchallenged to score.

 

Drinky was not much better, but Drinky is Prem quality.  Kingy is hard worker and gives his all, but I'm afraid he would not get into west broms team.and struggle to get into sunderlands

it wasn't a lump over the top last year he played it with a purpose this year its just a lump forward

[kingfox]

Our performances always depend on how well our midfield plays, in the games we've won this season our midfield has controlled the game, with Drinkwater being the leader.

 

In the games we've lost, today for example, our midfield had no control, Fletcher & Morrison had the control and they outplayed us.

 

I've been finding our play far too predictable too, we've only seen our quick attacking play, our quick link up play on a few occasions, against Burnley & Palace we were at our best, that's the Leicester we all fell in love with last season. We need to show that quality again, stop with the predictable hoof balls, stop with the diagonal balls, far too predictable and far too easy for the opposition to defend.

 

A new midfielder in January is a must but we all know that, not buying another one in August was always going to come back and bite us. Finally we need to become more consistent, the quality is there, we've seen it in some games but of course that's not good enough.

[cc_star]

Last season is in the history books, people need to move on and be asking tough questions of players performances and especially Ranieri who's proving this season to be the Ranieri I thought he would be when he arrived

 

Anyway 

 

We need to defend as a team & counter attack. It's that simple 

 

We're being drawn on to teams like we did to them last season - Don't play their game, just defend & counter. Defend & counter

 

Ranieri & Shakespeare needs to up their game. . . And ****ing quick

Watch the game back. He played musa in with a brilliant ball behind the centre half and the full back on at least 2 occasions and should have scored with his header. Please explain how he was at fault for our goals and offered **** all going forward. 

 

I assume he is the next wellens.

Agreed.. So far this season we are more worried about what the opposition are doing, instead of playing to our own strengths. Last season, it didn't matter who we played, we always played the same way. We need to stop worrying about how the opposition have set up to nullify us & just play our own game.

None of those passes were direct chances on goal, that fact he missed scoring only substantiates my point.  

 

Watch the match and he was tracking Morrison, he was with Morrison in the box, he failed to even challenge Morrison.  I would expect a Kante to atleast sniff the danger, but with Kingy his own stance of failure, he just watched and allowed Morrison to stride and wack the ball I to the goal.

 

He did however do nothing for the second goal, Drinky looks tired, that type of pass back was from someone tired

[foxes21]

Get the Vardy/Okazaki partnership going again. Even though Vardy has been sub par this season, we all know he is vital to the way we play. Teams can sit deep, try and nullify the space behind, but truthfully when he's at his best he can create chances out of nothing. For example when Vardy came on, he pressed Evans immediately and won us a corner.

 

Okazaki will get the best out of Vardy. An on form Vardy = An on form Leicester.

So he's meant to play in his team mate and then be responsible for what happens after?

 

I felt huth was at fault for the 1st goal personally. But I guess football is a game of opinions.

 

We lost today Yes. But for me it wasn't due to King.  It was due to a lack of clear cut chances and a lack of effort.

 

I'd suggest vardy did **** all when he came on. Yet folk slate Shinji.

[Guest ttfn]

Vardy was crap again when he came on. It goes to show how low our expectations of him are at the moment that people aren't giving him a hard time for offering absolutely nothing in 135 minutes against poor opposition this week.

 

You can talk all you like about lack of service but the movement, pace, desire and touch of last season are all missing and that's before we even think about his finishing.

I agree we didnt lose due to Kingy, when we lose we tend to focus on our weaknesses, and Kingy is probably the biggest weakness in the team.  We haven't replaced Kante, and unfortunately King is not strong enough to play in a midfield 2.  That was telling tonight, although it is not Kings fault, as fans we are going to be critical of him in that position.  Maybe we should be poking a finger at Ranieri

[Jimmy]

King's headed chance was very difficult as the cross from Mahrez had no pace on it so King had to generate all the power

Your last point may well be right. But as you say fans may focus on what they perceive as a weakness ie king Simpson etc. And at the flip side ranieri essentially walks on water and rightly so.

Hernandez Huth Morgan

Albrighton 2 CM's Fuchs

Mahrez Striker Musa/Gray

think our squad perfectly suits the 3-4-3 system and gets people like Mahrez in the danger zone far more often, won't happen but I'd love to see it

[inckley fox]

We've gone through every minor tweak you could think of but this team isn't producing the goods week in week out. The obvious conclusion is that the problem isn't a matter of a minor tweak (yay! King / Okazaki / whoever else solves everything!), but something more deep-rooted.

 

When you get to the stage of saying 'No! Whatever you do, don't do that!' (e.g. our pre-season programme, or failure to replace Kante, or splashing out a spectacular fee on a target man when we didn't particularly need one, or persisting with 4-4-2 without the man who clearly made it work, or failing to buy defensive cover) and, in a very short period of time, it turns out you - and almost every other City fan on the planet - was justified in thinking that, then you know something isn't 100% right.

 

Maybe it's the new contracts, maybe it's the absence of a sense of 'where we go next', but whatever the problem is, it's a time for some serious soul-searching on the board's and Ranieri's behalf. Far too many of our problems seem to have been self-inflicted, easy-to-see-coming wounds.
