AjcW Posted 2 January 2017 Posted 2 January 2017 The amount of times Oka hasn't taken his chance at a start now is getting a little frustrating I have to say. I really like him but he's just not at it today.
daddylonglegs Posted 2 January 2017 Posted 2 January 2017 What a terrible game so far... no quality from either team. Although what I would say is that Mahrez would have contributed to more goals this year if he wasn't cynically brought down so often. That's three times this half!
lgfualol Posted 2 January 2017 Posted 2 January 2017 Haven't watched the first half. How has Mendy been? Also not surprising we struggle when the strikers get nothing, not sure why people thought Ulloa coming in would change that
RumbleFox Posted 2 January 2017 Posted 2 January 2017 People on here make me laugh. Do you sit and wait to just panic and slag everyone off? We clearly want to be solid and nick a goal and, based on position, recent form and the fact we played two days ago might not be the most stupid option. Also, we are playing a new system and some players (Mendy) who have hardly played. We clearly need a wee bit more width and pace but hardly time to start the usual negative shite on here. Come on the Blues. X
Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 2 January 2017 Posted 2 January 2017 That's pretty average stuff. Not sure offensively what our strategy is. We are so narrow going forward. Oka has been poor. I'd take him off and bring a wide man on. I imagine Claudio won't change anything for another 15mins
SheppyFox Posted 2 January 2017 Posted 2 January 2017 Weve set up to force a poor performance from Middleborough, we will be able to tweak it to steal the match 1-0 imo
yorkie1999 Posted 2 January 2017 Posted 2 January 2017 never seen a player fall over as much as Okazaki. No width and we play with a striker whose only attribute is to head it from a cross. Mahrez playing in god knows which position. And we're still 0-0
adamlcfcbevo85 Posted 2 January 2017 Posted 2 January 2017 Mendy been the weak link today don't think he's ready just yet but has looked ok, bring gray on for mendy albrighton for Okazaki, Riyad in the centre
NeilLCFC Posted 2 January 2017 Posted 2 January 2017 1 minute ago, Paddy. said: Maybe I'm going mad but I'm happy-ish with that half. We've not been great but looked solid, players look up for it and have been mostly neat and tidy. The fullbacks look exposed when they get wide but we're bossing it in the middle. Kingy and Mendy looking solid if unspectacular. Defo 3 points for the taking here though. Really hope Ranners goes for it second half. Try Bat shit crazy.

Crazy Kop Corner Posted 2 January 2017 Posted 2 January 2017 We have plenty on the bench to bring on. I just hope we're chasing a winner rather than an equaliser.
Benno_Levin Posted 2 January 2017 Posted 2 January 2017 Tactical masterclass from Ranieri coming up. Clog up the middle then unleash pace and threat when Boro are knackered in the last 20 minutes. It's going to be beautiful
Crinklyfox Posted 2 January 2017 Posted 2 January 2017 Ranieri will want a point out of this so I don't expect him to change personnel any time soon. We're largely neutralising Boro and they are the more likely to go more attacking the longer this goes on so we'll have the chance to nick one late on.
The Doctor Posted 2 January 2017 Posted 2 January 2017 Don't know what some of you are on - Mendy looks tidy. Him and amartey alongside Drinkwater could be great
foxes21 Posted 2 January 2017 Posted 2 January 2017 Mendy has been our best CM. Him and Drinkwater in the middle has potential.
MPH Posted 2 January 2017 Posted 2 January 2017 Just now, NeilLCFC said: Try Bat shit crazy. Dont misunderstand him.. didn't say he was delighted by it... we locked them out, had a few efforts and need to kick in from there is what he's saying..
adamlcfcbevo85 Posted 2 January 2017 Posted 2 January 2017 Also I will give Ranieri credit has done good job with tactics first half frustrating boro
Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 2 January 2017 Posted 2 January 2017 Unleash the pace of Musa and Gray after 70mins if it's still 0-0, I'd not make any changes at half time, we're solid.

It must be soul destroying for Mahrez. He's our only player with any sort of flair. We look a strong and fit bunch of Championship players today IMO. One nil, either way.
ARM1968 Posted 2 January 2017 Posted 2 January 2017 Mandy needs time and matches. Shown some decent touches and some poor ones. No one having a great game. Lack of pace upfront. A little too pedestrian to stretch boro. Need sone pace on the pitch.
