A bit of perspective would do us all good. For me, we should accept that we were bound to regress to the mean after our miracle season. We should recognise that moaning after winning the league makes us a laughing stock and that those calling for Claudio to leave come across as whiny overentitled spoiled ingrates who don't realise (as Leicester fans of all people should) that you have to endure the downs to appreciate the ups. Yes we're a shadow of last season, but we're not bottom with no hope, we are blummin 13th, we are in the Champions League after Christmas and we would all have snapped your hand off for that situation in the recent and indeed the distant past. 13th which is also two points off the bottom three. If we don't get two penalties yesterday then we wouldn't have scored. (Middlesbrough deserved to beat us). Our performances have been as poor as the results. I don't know where/I haven't seen anything to suggest we're going to win any of our next games. We're not organised - look at goals we've been conceding. Players look like they aren't bothered. We're 13th now but I wouldn't be surprised if we're lower than that very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realist Guy In The Room Posted 27 November 2016 Share Posted 27 November 2016 One more performance like that and they'll lose the crowd completely. Once that happens it'll be like last season and the great escape never happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stats yesterday, for a side playing at home, were shocking really. Forward passes, possession, shots etc. I think I'm right that Borough's were better in nearly every department. This isn't good enough. And this is the end of a supposedly 'easier run'. We have to start playing better than this or relegation could be a possibility. Sunderland suddenly becomes a very early 6 pointer at this rate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Black Posted 27 November 2016 Share Posted 27 November 2016 I'd take a draw over a defeat any day, but by god that was awful. This isn't the Champions I'm watching, but a team that blew it's best ever chance of achieving big glory last season with 3 games remaining, and is still feeling the effects of that lost opportunity.

Callabinho Posted 27 November 2016 Share Posted 27 November 2016 First things is we have got to completely forget last season, this may as well be a new squad of players. And we are in serious trouble, we have no game plan...and if we do isn't love to see what it is, we're incapable of stringing successive passes together, we have no interchanging movement, no creativity (at the moment) no hunger and no desire....since palace we have ****ing dreadful, and Boro could easily have put more past us is they had been a bit more creative coming forward...the frightening thing for me is Boro did all of those simple things right, and at times made us look like a league one side.... It's time to wake up and smell the coffee and realise that this is going to be a very long and very hard season, because at the moment there is no evidence that we can turn it around...

fairbanksh Posted 27 November 2016 Share Posted 27 November 2016 I really thought there was a long term plan i thought we could consolidate on last season However totally inability to integrate new players. Don't think CR has. a clue to his best team or a formation that's effective Director of football must be responsible to abject recruitment policy We have no depth in midfield No quality defenders in squad Whoever is really running this club need to be bold and incisive soon Such a shame to blow the legacy of last season NB no sentiment in Premier League football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsintskaro Posted 27 November 2016 Share Posted 27 November 2016 These players became as shit as they were before last season Huth/Morgan duo is too weak Simpson,King,Albrighton are Championship level and they should play for Aston villa or Blackburn Cant see a footballer in Amartey danny is way better defensively in this season,but not creating chances any more.thats too bad Mahrez needs new club and there maybe he will shine again Vardy is finished.he has not had a singe shot on target since 11 september,yesterday he touched ball for 5 times and his and Riyad friendship is ruined - in last 7 games(not concluding yesterdays one) Mahrez gave only 1 pass to Vardy 4-4-2 doesnt work,long balls to Vardy doesnt work,Albrihton crosses doesnt work,Riyad running on right wing doesnt work any more and its obvious to everyone except Ranieri 13 game already and no change in tactics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clever Fox Posted 27 November 2016 Share Posted 27 November 2016 I thought yesterday was a perfect opportunity to rest a few and bring in others like Hernadez and even Chilwell. Why was Schlupp left out after two promising appearances in his last 2 games. Musa although talented looks lightweight for the premiership. Gray is really trying and that's all you can ask of any player. So give him a run in the side he might deliver and gain exxperience for the Champions league come March. At the moment the team is very unbalanced and CR needs to address it or it could all unravel very quickly. No body is too good to be relegated.

Those players that won us the league are all championship level sh1t and are all finished. And the man charge hasn't got a clue. I know you might be a little upset about how things are going ... In the league ... But ffs give it a rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wymsey Posted 27 November 2016 Share Posted 27 November 2016 Okazaki was very unlucky with his overkick attempt, such a difficult technique to execute effectively. If that went in, the game would've turned in our favour. Now believe he's becoming more of a danger than Vardy to defences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merging Cultures Posted 27 November 2016 Share Posted 27 November 2016 Thier left winger was man of the match....quite simply by running in a straight line and crossing it in. Did Simpson block a single cross? I really like Simpson. But he stood way too far off his man for the first goal. We need to be attacking everything. Go at them. Don't stand off and respect them.

MC Prussian Posted 27 November 2016 Share Posted 27 November 2016 My first short summary of goals 1 to 3: I wish Morgan would stop complaining about Negredo's opener. There clearly was no offside to call for (maybe a passive one), because Simpson cancelled it with his positioning. Even so, what on earth was that tracking back from our back four and Morgan in particular? He just runs towards our penalty box but at no point takes a look where his immediate opponent is positioned. So Negredo can take all the time in the world to pick a corner and comes up with a beautiful lob that no keeper would be able to save. And again - what on earth is Huth doing that far up in the opposition half just before they score? It takes him ages to return to his regular spot, in line with Morgan. In fact, he doesn't get there at all. Game's too fast for him. We can't put our centre-backs in unnecessary danger and they need to realize they're just not speedy enough for that kind of crap. Huth also misses a crucial tackle against Negredo at the halfway line which should be King/Amartey territory! Chambers did handle the ball with his hand (arm), just before we was pushed by Morgan. Deserved penalty for us. Negredo's second? Well, our back four does it again... There is no clear communication, everyone is pointing to somebody else to cover his run, with the result that no one does. Whether Zieler should have come out a bit more or was right to head back to his near post is open to discussion. I can't fault him there when his defense is neglecting him that much. But I'd also point out that I find it baffling the referee didn't whistle for a corner just before the goal, when Slimani's backheel flick found Amartey who passed it to Musa and whose shot was quite clearly deflected.

They were much better than us in general play but they showed their only chances (the goals and the shot wide). We had as many shots as them so MOTD was a fair reflection as they won't show long periods of possession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tickler28 Posted 27 November 2016 Share Posted 27 November 2016 To me apart from the lack of strong midfielders or indeed forward thinking midfielders we lack severely a decent game plan. To often we seem to rely on hopeless long balls over the top or up to our strikers who inevitably lose the aerial battles (apart from Slimani and Ulloa). It's just so fricking ugly and incredibly unattractive to watch. We need to get the ball on the floor and pass it around...Vardy isn't scoring but can we really say he's being given decent service? Is he getting balls through the middle (on the floor to run on to)? The sooner we stop hopelessly hoofing the ball over the top the sooner the crowd will get behind the team....because it's not working and the results are poor the crowd will inevitably get fed up and feel like the excessive admission fees for poor results plus poor football are unacceptable and who can blame them??

Always defensively solid, yes he is limited offensively but Simpson is probably our most consistent player this year maybe bar Kasper or Drinkwater. Rarely do you see him bested by his winger and always turns in 7/7.5 performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
