Finnaldo Posted 18 March 2017 Share Posted 18 March 2017 Just now, Kitchandro said: Massive win. So lucky though. Schmeichel has single handedly given us the 3 points in that half. 3 wins out of 3 for Shakey, but this match has proved to me that he isn't the man for the job full time. It's been said that Skakespeare was very influential on Pearson's tactics when he was here and today was Pearson all over. It was negligent to not make a substitution for 70 odd minutes and when he did, they were completely wrong. Tactically, the second half was an absolute shambles, in a match we should have completely killed within an hour. Much like under Pearson, we decided to negate our strengths by sitting back and taking what we'd got rather than continuing to press and attack, which, as we all know, is the only way we can play. The decision to bring Musa on was absolutely disgraceful. There's just no excuse for even considering that useless lump at all. With him and Slimani on and Vardy off we lost any outlet we could possible have. Gray also remained on the bench, despite the fact he'd have given West Ham something to worry about. We inevitably came under pressure, and we didn't do a single thing to try and arrest the slide. I have got to seriously question what we were thinking for that last half an hour. There was just not thougt put into anything at all. It was certainly the correct decision to keep Shakey until the end of the season, as we needed the players on side to get us out of trouble. But he is not the man to get the most out of this squad, because he'll make the same tactical mistakes that Pearson did when we were bottom for 6 months. Come off it mate. It's one game, and we won for crying out loud. By the same logic you could say that Ranieri wasn't qualified for the job after losing 5-2 to Arsenal. I'm not saying he's shown enough yet to get the job, but to say he's not fit for it after getting out first away win this season is a bit bizarre, a couple of iffy tactics aside.

Vardy before Shakespeare had all sorts of bad games, and all gave him the benefit of the doubt with Slimani he missed one chance he is the worst. But yes, he needs to leave. I'm about the only one that defends Slim since he signed here that's why I am gutted he missed because people will give him shit again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col city fan Posted 18 March 2017 Share Posted 18 March 2017 Gotta be honest, I had us down to lose today. So I'm massively pleased with this win. Christ...compared to a month ago, we are in such a different place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vacamion Posted 18 March 2017 Share Posted 18 March 2017 Shout out out for Robert Huth. I know Kasper was MOTM, and Benny played a blinder and Albrighton ran himself into the ground, but a Huth, with a new defensive partner, was a big part of our result today, and he would have been as knackered as anyone. Proper part of all we have achieved since the great escape started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't my hero, just one of the best strikers I have seen play in my club(Sporting). And he is still a excellent striker, one player doesn't go from a 6th in the golden boot to not even scoring in some months. Something is happening and to be fair, the best he can do is get out of Leicester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5waller5 Posted 18 March 2017 Share Posted 18 March 2017 I don't understand the criticism of Shakey for the subs ..... for me they made perfect sense .... We were under the cosh so bought on fresh fast legs up front, and someone to hold the ball up ..... How is that anything other than the most obvious thing to do - giving us a respite at the back and possibly killing them game with another goal.

Foxxed Posted 18 March 2017 Share Posted 18 March 2017 To be fair to Shakey, if he'd brought on King instead of Musa, and done them earlier, then there'd be little complaint. Hopefully this will improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Izzy Posted 18 March 2017 Share Posted 18 March 2017 Absolutely heroic effort from the lads. I can't be arsed to slag off Slimani or Musa after that, I'm just relieved that we finally won away and got the vital 3 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that would make no sense, because were actually very positive in that match and lost not because of tactics but because we were playing Arsenal, who's squad cost far more than ours. This isn't about Ranieri, his tactical failings this season have been and gone. These are tactical failings that we were making when Pearson was the manager and Shakespeare was heavily influential. This will become a common theme going forward just as it was yet, mark my words. This isn't 'a couple of iffy tactics', this is brain dead tactics that are costing us initiative in games we should have complete control of. Shakey obviously has some merits as a man manager, and he may have others. But tactically I'd suggest he's weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityfanlee23 Posted 18 March 2017 Share Posted 18 March 2017 Very surprised that Vardy ran 1.5k Less than Mahrez, and 3k less than Lanzini... Great result, hanging on towards the end, Benalouane stepped up and made some crucial tackles, not 100% comfortable at times and was arguably at fault for Ayews goal nowhere near marking his closest man as the ball comes in, but very promising that he could be a defender we can rely on to step in when needed, and who knows even start games in the prem, has hardly had a chance so to step up from reserve games to play against Derby, then from Derby to a very strong west ham side is promising.

He's 28 years old and hardly going to get any better with age - few strikers can claim they do. He came on as a sub and - alongside Musa - played right into West Ham's hands. Them two should be the ones with fresh legs. Musa is the faster of the two, so why he didn't stay further back and operate from the halfway line remains a mystery.
