Still better than the Morgan floated chip that @igfualol "loves"

At least his chips don't land in his own half and leave the defence exposed over and over again. He's a bad player and not good enough.

Are we playing 1 up front against Burton?

0 up front 

[brookfox]

B..... 0 - L........ 2

B..... 2 - L........ 0

 

Two half time results tonight. Yes I'm that bored after that!

[Eskay]

Momentum is so important for this side. Think of winning the league twice. Avoiding relegation twice. Momentum played a huge part. We are starting the season in a terrible way

Almost every time they've caused us an issue it has stemmed from one of Benny, Ulloa or King just gifting them the ball.

 

Come the first game, our starting 11 is going to contain 1 or 2 of these 11 at the very most.

 

It looks exactly like it is, a mish mash team of reserve team players in another new formation and not playing at 100%.

 

It happens every year and people have a meltdown every year... and every year I repeat the same thing, it means feck all.

 

I mostly agree. 

 

I'd be nice to be hitting the first game with our tails up looking confident though.

Appleton (Aggressively): "I am not happy with your performance out there"

May be "only" a friendly but apart from Musa and Chilwell that first half performance was a disgrace. No effort or motivation whatsoever. This could be yet another warning sign that the playing side of the club is currently a shambles.

picture this... Captain Wes Morgan lifting a premier league trophy.  what a sick sick world

[Patrick]

I was sceptical about Shakey getting the job after some of the shocking displays towards the end of the season, now I think my concerns were pretty valid. 

[s11nny]

something just doesn't seem right about this pre season... friendly or not. I'm so worried about what the result will be in our opener against arsenal let alone the remainder of the first few fixtures 

[ozvaldo]

The guy moving the sprinkler at half time has better movement that most our team.

[whoareyaaa]

What are people expecting us to turn up, 100% give it all and come out 5-0 winners..

 

CHILL!!

 

[biggs]

Players who are decent will look poor with this lineup....tough to get anything going when players around you are not up to the task and we have a number of them out there today. This is not a team and it doesn't bode well for confidence this close to the season.

 

Poor judgement by Shakespeare

The Ref falling over had better movement than our team

[49er]

Legends - Weller, Banks, Worthington, Lineker, Kante, Vardy, Mahrez.

 

Andy King a legend, do me a favour

[Guest Col city fan]

Anyone saying the pre season don't mean anything, I'm pretty sure we were raising concerns LAST pre season weren't we?

Then look what happened.

It doesn't always reflect on the forthcoming season, but it enables us to see where improvements are clearly needed. This squad needs clear improvements. I'm fed up feeling compelled to say that Amartey is in fact, no good. King is a championship player, Ulloa needs to move on and Benny looks like a a bomb scare.

Its clear to anyone who wants to see. Let's hope our first team look better than this.

[FantasticMrFox&Son]

Bloody AWFUL.

FFS get a grip Shakey, some total losers who DON'T DESERVE to wear a LCFC shirt, how the **** did Leo get a new contract.

Hopefully we'll hammer them in the league next year, but I wouldn't bank on it !!

What is this shit people keep saying? Wake up everyone, pretty much every decent team anywhere plays with one main striker. The problem is instead of Lewandowski, Morata, Costa or Suarez we have donkey Ulloa.

Erm...since when do Leicester play one up front? Since when is that not a negative tactic for us?

 

I don't give a shit about other teams.

No, just not being completely shit against Luton, MK Dons, Wolves and Burton to be fair.

[MrSpaM]

When was the last time we failed to win a single game in pre season?

[Slim Dog]

We won't play anything like this against Arsenal. Definition of overreaction in this thread.

[FoxyPalace.com]

Ian Nacho has failed the heart test while streaming LCFC V Burton.

 

Deal off.

[steflcfc]

Is something not well behind the scenes?

body language and effort of a lot of the players this pre season has been wanting!

 

Shakespear needs to be giving out some rollockings as some players still look on there holidays.

His reputation will be on the line and if they put in some of these displays when it matters, he won't last past Christmas.

 

I can't say I have been too excited yet so far on and off the field, I hope it changes come 11th August

What do you expect though, honestly?

 

Judge them next week after the Arsenal game.
