KFS Posted 21 May 2017 Posted 21 May 2017 5-3-2 at home is decent. Against Atletico and again today we've looked really dangerous set up that way.

We were 3-4-3 vs Spurs and conceded 4. 3-4-3 without a cb beyond at a stretch Amartey (debatable what his position is, but he's not really played there for us) and with a lb and two wingers in midfield. It wasn't the formation so much as the players put in it. We came out at the start of the second half at 3-5-2, put them under the cosh, got one back and for a bit looked like getting an equaliser. They got a third, then shakes went insane.

We had an onside goal disallowed and Slimani missed a sitter, so we should of won. That i think is part of his problem.... we have been playing catch up 2nd half for quite a few games under his tenure... he has a few days to prepare the team and doesn't seem to be very inventive or doesn't have many ideas... it's only when he physically sees the opposition on the pitch that he seems to have any ideas... dare I say it... like an assistant manager passing ideas on to a manager.. i think the last three games may have cost him the top job...
Foxxed Posted 21 May 2017 Posted 21 May 2017 Very poorly done not to bring Was on. Disappointed in Shakey tbh. But perhaps Shakey was worrying a loss could mean the end of his managerial hopes.

Howe has done wonders at the club, their fans must be pinching themselves finishing so high up in the top flight. I thought first half they deserved about 3 goals. We were shocking. Second half we were slightly better but still not great. Miles off the top clubs and thanks to Shakespeare for stabling us but not the manager to lead us forward. First half they were good but had few clear cut chances. Second half we were dominant and should have won comfortably.
Detroit Blues Posted 22 May 2017 Posted 22 May 2017 We're going to judge shakey on a poor three game run in which we got really unlucky with injuries and refereeing, and not on saving us from relegation and advancing into the quarterfinals of the champions league? Tough crowd to please. Win the title once and we already got our own wegner out supporters.
WigstonWanderer Posted 22 May 2017 Posted 22 May 2017 Oh well, passed up a chance to do better than Chelsea managed last season in defence of the title, which was all I wanted, but I suppose it doesn't matter much in the scheme of things. First half was laughably bad. Second looked relatively good and should probably have won. Benny not good enough I'm afraid except as last ditch stand in in case of injuries (as now TBF). He just stood watching for the first goal as the situation developed, and was almost certain to get sent off had he not been subbed. Nice chap and all but preferred Amartey.

Shame was didn't get on. I wouldn't blame the ref actually. I thought he did a good job and was actually quite lenient. He could definitely have sent Benny off for his second wild challenge. Linesman was at fault for the disallowed goal.

Shakespeare should be given the job full time. I see you've managed to completely erase the Spurs match from your mind. Well done

Blue ROI Posted 22 May 2017 Posted 22 May 2017 Was over for this one yesterday. We were awful for the first 30 minutes and the horrendous start was a sign that it wasn't going to be a victory. Upped the ante after the first half an hour and had enough chances to be ahead at the break. More or less dominated the second half but just couldn't get the winner. Disappointing overall. Kasper uncharacteristically was a bit hesitant for the goal but made some great saves. Benny could have got a red for that kick late in the first half.Didnt impress much. Shows how valuable Huth and Morgan are going to the team. Would you Adam and eve it! Had both been available we might have taken atletico Madrid. Fuchs a left back or nothing. Chilwell was impressive. Growing in confidence with every game. Mahrez a bit better than recently but still very frustrating losing the ball. Thought King did OK. Limited at this level but his passing was excellent and got stuck in. Ndidi was lively. Made one or two mistakes on the ball but he's not far off drinkwater in needing a break. Vardy was out of the game in the first half but outstanding in the second. Hope it's not his last game at Leicester. Slimani had a terrible first half and his first touch is hardly 3 million striker standard never mind 30 million. Despite that he had a lot of chances and was unfortunate not to have at least a goal. I prefer him to Musa but seems his fate is sealed along with the other summer 2016 signings . Given our style of play seems like a square peg in a round hole. Gray has skills but promises more than he delivers. A mahrez-lite for me at this point.Amartey did well but still a lot of work for him to do at this level. Must be aware that we were missing quite a few but the last week has exposed how skeletal our squad is. Reckon it's cost shakey getting the gig. Might have been better this happening now than at the start of next season though. Great tribute to was after the game. Couldn't help but notice that mahrez didn't feature in the video messages.
RoyFox Posted 22 May 2017 Posted 22 May 2017 Unlucky not to have won the game based on the xG map (expected goals). A lot of chances in the second half (including a perfectly onside goal from Vardy).
foxy boxing Posted 22 May 2017 Posted 22 May 2017 Disappointing that we couldn't get the win which would have kept us in the top ten and having a good Vardy goal ruled out! but we started the match very poorly to concede a goal after less than a minute, the players should have been more switched on at the start of the match! Slimani had a few chances but didn't convert any of them. A disappointing game at the end of a mixed season of ups and downs. we have lots of potential and just need to utilize it more
stripeyfox Posted 22 May 2017 Posted 22 May 2017 A little suprising to see idiots scuffling in the road near the Local Hero as we walked up. It had started near the burger van on the corner of the roundabout and the police were ushering people away.but as usual the idiots couldn't leave it and a scuffle broke out. Police with dogs arrived and calmed it down. Not very nice when you're walking past with your kids. Had a nice stroll back to the station in the company of some Bournemouth fans though.
RonnieTodger Posted 22 May 2017 Posted 22 May 2017 Some very weird behaviour in the stands yesterday. Blokes nearly fighting over Mahrez & Slimani, then about singing songs for old players and then for leaving early. Grown men.

I called Shawcross a coward for his tackle on Gray earlier this season. It was a similar act. No attempt to play the ball and didn't even attempt a trip, it was just a kick at the Bournemouth player.

Yeah it was all very childish One was slagging Mahrez and he started singing "get ****ing rid" which I think was a joke, but still stupid. A bloke a few rows in front turned round and rightly had a go at him but then offered him out. This on a game that meant pretty much nothing. Can you imagine how retarded our fans would be if we did go down?

In all honesty I heard a higher than usual amount of crap being spoken about our two Algerian lads yesterday.
Lester.14 Posted 22 May 2017 Posted 22 May 2017 anyone know if they drew the raffle at all? there were a lot of raffle tickets handed out for a few prizes. havent seen anything about the draw being announced at all?
