Monk Posted 11 August 2017 Posted 11 August 2017 Arsenal comeback was coming a mile off and the subs didn't help. Thought we were great for large parts of the game and overall very positive for the season! Bring it on.
Wdywd Posted 11 August 2017 Posted 11 August 2017 And slating the manager for that is nothing to do with 'loyalty' or any of that shit. It's like saying Mahrez ****ed up by giving the ball away for their 2nd goal, or other players ****ed up to let them in for the 3rd. The manager made a big mistake
Tielemans63 Posted 11 August 2017 Posted 11 August 2017 I've always, always defended him to the hilt but Big Wes needs replacing. No good being a good captain if you're a liability on the pitch. His deterioration in the last 12 months has been marked.
Monsell1976 Posted 11 August 2017 Posted 11 August 2017 Never looked good enough defensively, we looked like letting in a goal every time they attacked. Replace Morgan and Simpson with an upgrade, we could have a good season

LedStar Posted 11 August 2017 Posted 11 August 2017 Can't knock the manager or the lads after that performance. Everyone put a shift in but it wasn't to be. Vardy & Maguire very impressive. Onward and upwards!!
Thracian Posted 11 August 2017 Posted 11 August 2017 22 minutes ago, LCFC1996 said: On the plus side, we seem to have pretty good team, Vardy is firing, Maguire looks quality, James is getting back. James did very little but cover space. They were so dangerous using late runners from deep positons from central midfield. We gave ourselves a chance by competing for possession and putting the ball quickly into dangerous places when we had the chance but then we abandoned all forward movement and support and trI'd to beg the game insteadevelopment of fighting for it towards the end.
StriderHiryu Posted 11 August 2017 Posted 11 August 2017 Walking back from the game now, hurting inside badly! Our fans... they were fantastic and you could see the players come up to us at the end to clap us for the support. Great to see everyone in fantastic voice already. As for the game... WOW. So tough to take being on the wrong side of that but our boys were great. Some individual errors cost us and I feel that bringing on Kelechi Ihenacho was the wrong choice as with 3 midfielders we looked compose with Amartey tidying up nicely. Not Iheanacho's fault at all, it just broke our shape. We never beat Arsenal and even after a performance like that we can't beat them!!! ARRRGHGGH!!! Their fans are such bell-ends. Silent for 85 minutes until they went ahead at the end, they really don't deserve that ground. But the thing to take out of this game is that we can have a great season. So many moments in this game reminded me of the title winning season. The players were up for it and Harry Maguire and Vardy were simply fantastic. The game seemed to pass James by in the first half but he seemed more settled in the second. Everyone put in a great shift and we proved we could hurt them.
wurmer Posted 11 August 2017 Posted 11 August 2017 Gutting, but at least it's clear from that performance that at least Arsenal won't finish in the top 4!

Leaving Mahrez on, then reverting to 442 when they flooded the midfield and also taking James off was just poor. If Iheanacho was to come on it should have been for Vardy whilst Gray or Chillwell should have come on for Mahrez. Just naive and frankly stupid substitutions. cost us. And nice to see we've worked on the defence this summer. Still shite and school boyish how they had three men free when Ramsay scored Are people forgetting how we actually conceded the goals? Shakespeare's subs, a knackered James going off and Kelechi coming on, Mike Dean and formations do not explain or excuse conceding from two set pieces within minutes.
tomigun Posted 11 August 2017 Posted 11 August 2017 Wrong subs at the wrong time. Needed changes sooner. Three goals away from home is massively encouraging after the frustration of last season, but the goals we conceded felt too easy. As Vardy said - weak concentration at times.
Wdywd Posted 11 August 2017 Posted 11 August 2017 Another thing is that Danny Simpson's touch is *extraordinarily* shit. Two or three times in stoppage time alone he wildly miscontrolled a ball off for a throw when we were chasing the game

But people are reacting like this is our tenth defeat in a row, not an unlucky if a bit dumb defeat to a title challenger, after outplaying them away from home for most of the game
Melbourne Fuchs Posted 11 August 2017 Posted 11 August 2017 I know we lost, but how great is it that we can see our team playing in a match of this quality? We've come a long way.
The Guvnor Posted 11 August 2017 Posted 11 August 2017 We never win away to Arsenal Vardy is back and didnt deserve to be on the losing side Nice to see Matty James back thought he played well Riyad needs to up his game if he ever wants that dream move to a top European side. Shinji still fell over too much but was excellent tonight. Maguire has settled in well We only lost 3 times when we won the PL, 2 against Arsenal Calm down we can still win the League ☺

brucey Posted 11 August 2017 Posted 11 August 2017 proud of the boys. just compare that with the limp shite from 12 months ago. some people here need to sleep on it, it won't feel as bad tomorrow morning.
Bunyip Posted 11 August 2017 Posted 11 August 2017 4 minutes ago, Fox 4 Life said: The subs weren't the smartest but to say "we just had to see the game out" is ****ing laughable. Arsenal had 70% possession and 3 times the amount of shots, they were always going to batter us in the last 10. We weren't cruising our way to a win Yeah but we did not have to make those last ten minutes so easy for them did we? until those stupid subs we were holding them.
TheUltimateWinner Posted 11 August 2017 Posted 11 August 2017 Listening to Shakeys post match interview on Sky he knows what caused us to concede. I believe in the bloke! Hope people have stayed to watch it, he's coming across really well.

Replace Morgan and Simpson with an upgrade, we could have a good season Lacazette's goal was stunning. Morgan should have attached it more though. There were issues on the left not the right hand side of defence for other goals. Fuchs has been great, but I think it is time to let Chilwell have a go. Simpson didn't do much wrong as usual.

Dr The Singh Posted 11 August 2017 Posted 11 August 2017 Is this the future of Leicester city, sitting back and defending a lead, against top 6 teams all the times. If people are expecting anything other then top 12, you can forget it
22BLUE Posted 11 August 2017 Posted 11 August 2017 8 minutes ago, shen said: Oh stop mimicking the media... Arsenal should've had a peno first half for a handball by Ndidi and you highlight that? Even stevens...It doesn't excuse the poor clearance from the corner and the total lack of marking. Not convinced it was a penalty though. Either way mike dean should be seeing that. The corner led to a goal that completely changed the game. As for mimicking the media... it's a photo nicked off twitter ?
