SpinneyHillRanger Posted 14 January 2017 Share Posted 14 January 2017 Vardy and musa should never start together. We needed okazaki. We also need to have gray in the starting line up if mahrez is not playing, as he provides a spark and is capable of making a difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CollinsLCFC Posted 14 January 2017 Share Posted 14 January 2017 Didn't expect a result but I expected a performance. Got neither. That's the frustrating thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenTheFox Posted 14 January 2017 Share Posted 14 January 2017 In the 14/15 season I was frustrated with the amount of mistakes we were making, but at least I can say we were having a real good go (with the exception of a few games). I can't even say that at the minute. We have nothing other than lumping the ball forward and when we do try keeping the ball there's no movement.

Doesnt excuse how shit we are but its not the situation a lot of posts on here seem to suggest. But we've only lost one player from a title winning side. The regression is what's pissing everyone off, from the great escape and last season we saw a different team, how has losing Kante thrown us back so far? It doesn't seem Claudio knows, and it looks like he's losing the dressing room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted 14 January 2017 Share Posted 14 January 2017 2nd to everything. Pathetic. Didn't expect to win, far from it, a draw was the best we could have hoped for and that was a stretch however again it's a poor performance I'm pissed off with. So angry. Vardy, he's either lost a yard of pace or simply can't be bothered, he'd have sprinted at times last season, saw none of it today. As for the sideways passing...well **** me! Gray looked like the only player who wanted to go forward and he came on with 20 minutes to go and 3-0 down...well done Claudio, well done. What has he got got to do, how bad have others go to be for you to give him a proper chance, he might not be the answer but I feel he offers more than some of the other ***** out there! Champions of England, I hope they're embarrassed, they're not even close. When people say the big teams had a season off last season they really were weren't they, because I don't believe this team can be that good to this bad, other teams must have made us look good last season, surely.

brucey Posted 14 January 2017 Share Posted 14 January 2017 only managed to watch the first half, but I thought the performance was good first half, pretty evenly matched, heads didn't drop and continued to go for it after their first goal. don't know what happened second half but sounds like their second goal was a unlucky fluke. the substitutions and tactics sounded awful, though I wouldn't particularly get on Claudio's case for experimenting wildly at 2-0 down, we weren't going to come back from that really.

Look at net spend in the league and we are about where we should be. Last season was a one off, the quicker people accept this the better it will be, just enjoy the ride I can take losing 3-0 to Chelsea, that's acceptable. But to sit off, not challenge and take the defeat from the first whistle? Nah, fack off, not for me. Today was pathetic, we showed no fight whatsoever.

Well sorry to burst your bubble but he wont get an awful lot more. Agreed. Last season we played our game and made teams adjust to us. This season it's the complete opposite and we are setting out to try and stop teams rather than play our game. There is no intensity, no fight, no passion. Claudio can call for this, but he is the one setting the team up to be negative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the goals may have been fortunate, but we could play until February and not have scored. Spending £75m and being in a relegation battle is completely unacceptable. I dont know of a team in this league that look less dangerous going forward than us. Luckily there are a few teams with equally or with an even worse defence. Next home games are up against United and Liverpool too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea play 343, we played a 532 system. If CR tried to match Chelsea he would have played Musa, Vardy and Gray with 2CM. Anybody think Alonso would have gone forward with so much ease if he had an attacking player like Gray to deal with? Our system was asking for the Chelsea wing backs to attack us, which they did with relish. This was a major CR tactical mistake. He should have played 3 up top to anchor the Chelsea wing backs. The worse thing is he had the blueprint in his previous game when we played 433 but chose to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Althogh it didnt seem Chelsea were 'at their best' they were clinical, exposed our defence and made their chances count. I dont think we can read much into today to be honest.. it's Chelsea... they'll win the league. We'll probably get beat by Sevilla as well, we are not at that level anymore.

foxes_rule1978 Posted 14 January 2017 Share Posted 14 January 2017 Absolute rubbish . I'm sorry this is harder to take than usual, when you have won the league you would think we would make several quality signings to step in for the aging players but we didn't. You can go back to my post in May/June and I highlighted that fact. Last year we was ahead of everyone this year we are miles behind because we didn't really spend and improve like the other top teams did. You can say we won the league by not spending but that isn't guaranteeing us quality players, we should have bought proven players with the advantage we had of offering CL football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We gave up at 1-0, just did not move quickly at all. I don't think Chelsea even played that well. Dread to think what the score would've been with Costa. Worst I've ever seen Fuchs play. Looked like Alan Rodgers tonight. Agreed. Albrighton trying to put crosses in from 10 yards into their half too. Completely out of balance. Ball was shifted way too slow and went backwards far too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
