Harry S Posted 11 August 2017 Share Posted 11 August 2017 The defending still needs work, maybe we needed someone like iborra to sit infront of the defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webbo Posted 11 August 2017 Share Posted 11 August 2017 6 minutes ago, seenitall said: Should start looking at another manager now before the season dries up - defence was clueless tonight and midfield light - Vardy great, Albrighton good for 45 but Ndidi looked under par Mahrez was pants and should be got rid of now, James was passable King would probably have done more - Simps played good as did Fuchs most of the time but the central defenders were weak. Just my view but Shakey ain't a manager just a great coach - rookie error up there with appointing Sousa as manager all those years ago, even though I wish it were otherwise. STFU. It was the first game, away at Arsenal and we scored 3 goals, Disappointing but hardly a disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leicesterlad1989 Posted 11 August 2017 Share Posted 11 August 2017 Poor defending cost us. Simple. Blame the ref and blame Shakey's subs but lapses in concerntration and poor positioning cost us a point at least. Main positive is 3 goals away from home and Vardy is firing on all cylinders already. Thought he was brilliant all game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thracian Posted 11 August 2017 Share Posted 11 August 2017 Despite the blatant handball preceding their winner why did we go all negative when 3-2 ahead? Giving them free rein to pass into our penalty area when they had so many accurate passing attackers and so many untracked and uncontested runners coming onto the edge of our box was crazy as having all our defenders being drawn away from the far post for their winner. Such a valiant effort thrown away through thoughtlessness. Great game though for all that our team continues to have malfunctions. Vardy's goals were a treat to remember though.

We outplayed one of the top sides on their own patch, and everyone is getting pelters because we switched off for a couple of minutes. Honestly, wind it in. Exactly. Mike ****ing Deane strikes again and a header from a corner. Nothing james or anyone else from midfield could have done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hirsty The Blue 94 Posted 11 August 2017 Share Posted 11 August 2017 Agree with the majority here. Amartey had shored the game up nicely when he came on, they just had long range hits for 10 minutes. No need to bring Nacho on, if James was spent should have brought Kingy on. As soon as the equaliser went in I think everyone knew they were going to win. Much to ponder and analyse.

Clever Fox Posted 11 August 2017 Share Posted 11 August 2017 Amartey was brought on to stop the Ramsey runs through the middle. Then Ramsey went wide, but where was Fuchs. Giroud just out muscled everyone for the Goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Kopfkino Posted 11 August 2017 Share Posted 11 August 2017 A forward player at RB, two left backs at centre half and a RB at LB and we gave up trying to attack that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvaldo Posted 11 August 2017 Share Posted 11 August 2017 I feel more positive than I did this time last year against Hull. People having a go at Shakey is a joke. They had a handball and another goal had offside. If the referee and his two bitches were competent, they'd have disallowed the offside and we'd have had a free kick before the corner for the other goal.

EnglishOxide Posted 11 August 2017 Share Posted 11 August 2017 Gutted. But I can't really be angry with that, we are just ****ing cursed away to Arsenal, it felt like the 1-2 in the title winning season. They are gonna be fine when they get their defenders back. To me it looked like they were back to how they were attacking 5 years ago, lots of intricate passing through the defence, their 3 at the back formation allows them more fluidity. Oxlade Chamberlain man of the match, he is pacier than I realised We played well but surrendered too much initiative every time we went ahead. The Iheanacho sub I thought was to try and relieve some pressure, it's just a shame that they scored pretty much instantly thanks to our defence switching off. I'd have said Gray and Iheanacho should have come in for Albrighton and Okazaki at the time of the Amartey sub would have worked better. Mahrez grew into the match but Albrighton fell out of it I thought. I just hope Shakey doesn't make a habit of ****ing up his subs. Hell of a header from Giroud, they had a lucky second goal and the ref gave them a helping hand. And an absolute wankfest from Sky over them. No need to be too down heartened by that. Bring on Brighton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trabuch Posted 11 August 2017 Share Posted 11 August 2017 Can we at least all agree that Mike Dean is (and always has been) a massive CU Next Tuesday? (and it's good news that Vardy scored 2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if we hadn't been so negative the ball might not have been in the areas as often as it was after the substitutions. You make your own luck or bad luck.

DennisNedry Posted 11 August 2017 Share Posted 11 August 2017 Arsenal were just too good in the end, once they got the momentum it was inevitable. They have such strength in their squad, unfortunately we can't match that. It'll really help when Iborra & Drinky are back fit because our midfield is looking very bare.

BlueSi13 Posted 11 August 2017 Share Posted 11 August 2017 We will NEVER win at Arsenal. Honestly even after 75 minutes and playing well 2-3 up I said to people here we'd lose 4-3 with Arsenal scoring a jammy one on 85 minutes. Hated being proved right. We are honestly cursed against them. Every single time the same. Arsenal look absolutely dreadful though, they will take some absolute beatings this year. 6/7 finish for me. As for us, Shakespeare needs to be bolder. Surrendering the ball for the last 10 minutes when leading a football match away from home will NEVER deliver home the result for us. Learn fast or pay the price Craig. Tonight was a match we should NOT have lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With us being recent winners of the league they see us as a yardstick of something to aspire to, that one day in the future they could try to achieve for themselves. If they keep practicing, keep getting in the refs ear (and wallet) they might come close one day but until then their dream is our reality.

dedlock Posted 11 August 2017 Share Posted 11 August 2017 Deliberate handball in clear sight of the ref! 3-2 up with 7-8 minutes to go, would we have held out but for the goal that followed the handball,who knows? We must learn from that and close out such games from a winning position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammo Posted 11 August 2017 Share Posted 11 August 2017 The stuff of nightmares. Giroud, Wenger and those scumbag Arsenal fans would be near the top of any Leicester fan's hate list. As would that tosser Dean. And they're all happy tonight while we are plunged into misery. Football is beyond cruel sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
