Agree with this, mainly because I started the Mahrez thread I just saw some warning signs tonight and was disappointed that he didn't seem to work as hard as everyone else in defence. Simple things like not tracking a man or standing there instead of picking up a man when Liverpool were on the attack. I'm not expecting an Albrighton masterclass in winger defending, just some more attention and effort to be put into his defensive duties as a winger in a 4-4-2. I sympathise with his lack of form in attack, as he is double and tripled up on and he is often bypassed with a long ball. Still would like to see him have a rest and see Gray get a start, as defensively I think he will work harder and no one can deny that he causes big problems in attack too.

In case you have already forgotten: Liverpool also lost to Hull, Swansea, Bournemouth and Burnley. They never lost against the top-six teams in this season, but they have a habit of losing to teams in the lower regions of the table. Is that the truth, or not? Hull also beat them by two. Swansea won at Anfield. They lost at home to Wolves!!! We have won one game. Nothing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you've watched us closely this season and can understand, in detail, the reasons behind our players supposed 'lack of effort' then you're in no position to comment. Lovely that you enjoyed OUR title win last season. I won't be losing any sleep to know that you won't be supporting us any further. Off you pop. Like I said previously. The 7 hour round trip to Swansea and back to watch that. Every other team think we are mad, if it was there team I would be different? Yes?

Wymsey Posted 28 February 2017 Share Posted 28 February 2017 Certain people have a go at Albrighton but he's the one that accurately assists Vardy with his goals via great cross-field and long-range passes. Also, Drinkwater needed that goal he took sweetly for his confidence needs. The defence was quite questionable for their goal and was often shaky after it.

BoyJones Posted 28 February 2017 Share Posted 28 February 2017 The players were allowed to play the way / system that suited their individual skills and talents. Something that has been missing the last few months. It seems clear from tonight's performance that CR totally ignored any input from Shakespeare. The players wouldn't have hated CR, but even the most uneducated supporter could see the players couldn't follow his ever changing game plans. I think that CR forgot that no manager is bigger than the club he works for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread looks like a replica of the ManCity post match threat. The Hull game will be the true yardstick. Another 6-points match. It's a bit early for celebrations. We are still deep in trouble. Do you realize that? Flipping heck, our first goals and win I'm 2017 in the league, played pretty well and you still moan. For God's sake man learn to enjoy the game a little! Hull is still a few days away! Enjoy this win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you realize that? Forget the possession shite spuds moans about it all last season. It's what you do with the ball. Had a spud and a Liverpool fan watching it with me. Both said that is last season Leicester. Both said we are now dangerous we are what we should have been. They don't expect us to loiter for long. I say give it Shakey now.

coatsworth999 Posted 28 February 2017 Share Posted 28 February 2017 That tribute today to ranieri was not only embrassing, it was also an offence to the Thai owners. And also, I feel it played apart in the players losing concentration and cost us their goal.. luckily it didn't have any further effect! But ranieris gone, everyone needs to get over it now, and move on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iancognito Posted 28 February 2017 Share Posted 28 February 2017 You can call it not playing for a manager if you like but if you ask players to do something and it keeps failing, they will lose belief in the idea and all faith in you. Ranieri has been asking the players to sit deeper, stop pressing and retain the ball. It failed at Watford, Southampton, Swansea, Chelsea, Man Utd etc etc and eventually they just stopped playing altogether because they could see where it was going.Tonight Shakespeare called it "remembering their identity" ie remembering what made them good enough to win a league. He asked them to do something they were familiar with, something that works and suits them and got the response we all wanted. Call me fickle, but after months of pummellings and losing to dogshit opponents, I'm just happy to have the real Leicester back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpfox Posted 28 February 2017 Share Posted 28 February 2017 yes nearly all the team stepped up tonight, the one who didn't was guess who, ur all right MAHREZ still seems to not want to be part of the team, very lazy and no real effort into protecting the ball. other than that was great to watch.

At the start of the season he said it was important that we learn a new way of playing and coping without N'golo and to maybe try keep the ball more and anyone with eyes who has watched us this season can see that we've dropped off more. Vardy sits deeper, doesn't close as quickly, the defence have been on the edge of the box for half the season but tonight were 30 yards further up. Every time the opposition got it before tonight we dropped off and didn't press quick enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
