SecretPro Posted 9 September 2017 Share Posted 9 September 2017 3 minutes ago, SecretPro said: This. We need an actual partnership with out best two attacking players. Vardy is top notch, we know this, but Slim doesn't connect with him and Shinji just blunders around for 70 minutes each week. We need Nacho and Vards in from the start from now on to actually try and build a top quality strike partnership. If Nacho is fit, then Shinji and to a degree Slim shouldn't be getting a look in. HOWEVER, I fully expect us to spend the next two seasons persisting with the latter and criminally using Nacho as a sub. That's the Leicester way. On top of this I'd add that we show far too much loyalty to players. We pay them to be here, leave it at that. When other clubs sign players, especially quality players, they whack them straight in the starting 11, we seem to want to leave then on the bench for the first few months and play then sporadically here and there for 15, 20 minutes. Out with the old in with the new me thinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shakespeare has me baffled, 3 games he has brought King on to make a midfield 3 and it hasn't worked and we have conceded a goal with in minutes. We seem to be going backwards, no midfield, other than Ndidi, James and King aren't the answer. More worrying is we conceded very simple goals and have very little cutting edge! We need to keep hold of the ball more and look for players running into spaces this did not happen today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our midfield is shitt, that is why we resort to huff 'n puff. The miracle season we had Drinky in the form of his life, with Kante alongside him. No matter how you look at it, the Ndiddy-James-King trio is bottom table worthy at most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To a degree fair enough, but to adopt negative tactics when you are already loosing? I'd rather just have a go. I believe we could have got three points today. Chelsea looked distinctly average.

Grebfromgrebland Posted 9 September 2017 Share Posted 9 September 2017 Let's all chill out and see where we are after 10 games. I don't think we have been that negative we're just not good enough to really hurt the big teams. It hasn't helped that nacho has been injured / unfit. Iborra isn't fit either so Shakey hasn't got many options in midfield or attack really. I'd like to see a 3-5-2 or 4-3-3 but we don't have enough midfielders fit or authorized to play at the minute. We've only got Ndidi and James, that doesn't give us many formation choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justfoxes Posted 9 September 2017 Share Posted 9 September 2017 11 minutes ago, ZeGuy said: Nope, nope, nope. He took the right decision as the defender was expecting the pass to Vardy. Slim botched it, period. In the second one I agree that Mahrez should have, in many cases done, a bit better. Shit happens, can't blame anyone for that. No place for slagging the manager off, the difference in quality was simply too big and the best midfielders were not avalaible. Loss was to expect. Next game. I'm not slagging him off just think he could of got a few decisions different today and as for an expected loss I don't feel that way as any team we play is beatable if we have the right starting 11 formation and temperament !! I just think we allowed Chelski far too much time on the ball show them far too much respect didn't bully them enough, that could be down to selection or whatever we were not even second best at times sloppy play weak passes etc I for one am a Demarai Gray fan but the second half he didn't show us why Shaky should pick him over others, a few players today were a bit MIA and they need to look over this Game and see how we went wrong what we didn't do what we know we are capable of and causing damage to an opposition defence next league game v Hudders and we need to come home with all 3 points and win convincingly andbim really hoping the owners aren't trigger happy regarding shaky and give him time to get us back to form !!

RODNEY FERNIO Posted 9 September 2017 Share Posted 9 September 2017 The weak midfield is the big worry and the Silva fiasco is just rank incompetence. James and King are championship players at best ... so relying on them is a dangerous tactic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nettle Posted 9 September 2017 Share Posted 9 September 2017 It's like watching a Pearson side same tactics and style set up not to lose. Surely shakey has got to put his own stamp on this team and get us a bit more attack minded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At best it was a negative packing out of the midfield, at worst it was an attempt to play 4-3-3 with two alongside Vardy, one of which was having a shocker and both of which don't like passing all that much.

Monsell1976 Posted 9 September 2017 Share Posted 9 September 2017 First half we looked steady, thought we would come out unchanged second half, and try and nick one. The change at half time baffled me, didn't see the need for it, as I said, we looked ok first half, and the players didn't seem to know how to play in the formation, or what their jobs were. Like has been said, Chelsea didn't really get out of second gear, and how lost the team looked second half, we was lucky Chelsea weren't more ruthless, they were happy to see it out at 2-0, and let us have a glimmer of hope by being sloppy. Im losing confidence in the way the team is being run, but have to be realistic, we have played the big boys, Shakespeare is going to feel the pressure, as we need to be looking at a win next week, and against the lesser teams.

SheppyFox Posted 9 September 2017 Share Posted 9 September 2017 If you're angry at losing narrowly to Chelsea I think it's vital you take stock, yes we won the league but everyone else was horrible and we had some fantastic luck. We are not a top side, we should not be beating Chelsea, Arsenal(could have) or Man Utd on a consistent basis. Outside of the top 6/7 were just the best of the rest, that will become ever clear in the coming weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could see the chemistry between vards and kelechi straight away. Vardy even looked surprised at one point when kelechi tried that little toe poke through to him. He deserves a partner who is on his level and actually wants to work with him. Plenty of positives I just hope shakey goes with those 2 up top as standard from now. Maguire is a beast, ndidi matched Kante and Gray played well when he came on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
