N'didi and Albrighton the only two who have done anything.

[Richmondfox]

If Leo was a horse he'd be put down. Can't shield the ball, pass it, control it, shoot.

[Babylon]

Least we got a cross in.

[The Doctor]

How on earth are we not two or three down?getting mullered

[Farrington fox]

Sorry but have to say. This is f#cking hard to watch, its embarrassing. 

[Corky]

This has been absolutely, completely dreadful. Why the hell we've decided to play with no pace whatsoever up front is beyond me. We have no urgency, no pace, nobody wants the ball and our ball retention has been utterly terrible. It's only thanks to luck, bad finishing and a couple of Morgan tackles that we aren't 3-0 down. I feel a bit for Albrighton as he isn't able to get a decent cross in because he's so far back and his ball down the channel is just coming straight back as neither striker can hold the ball up.

 

I like to look for positives but there aren't any. Admit you got it wrong Shakespeare and get some pace up front. Boring football by a boring team.

If this wasn't so depressing you would think it was scripted comedy!!

It was shit

[Chelve84]

Are front 2 are ****ing useless and our midfield is none existent. Iborra is not a pressing kind of midfield. He needs to be in a 3 and just play it simple. I don't think any other manager in the league would play slim and ulloa upfront together. They ain't won 1 header 

[Guest seanfox778]

Are we hanging on for penalties?

And that was mostly passing it to a red shirt.

[JamesfromlondonLCFC]

Ulloa and Slimani are far too static 

 

Which we all knew they would be 

At least Slimani is trying, Ulloa is a waste of space... should have an extra CM on instead

[foxfanazer]

Gray the only bright spark so far

[ZeGuy]

That was better. Nice one Gray.

[HankMarvin]

Vardy reading foxestalk

Nah, mainly tackling someone after they've lost it.

[M0901]

Morgan's the only one who can take any credit so far. Horror show all round.

At least it isn't raining

[FoxFossil]

Two big lumps upfront, and how many crosses exactly?

How is Hamer in ahead of Jakupovic? ****ing embarrassing

He's actually played quite well so far

Can't help but notice we allow their forwards to come forward unmarked, where they send dangerous crosses through when fed. This isn't something just happening today, it has been happening all season. 

Exactly this. There is no way we going to go into the 1st half without conceding.
