martyn Posted 23 September 2017 Share Posted 23 September 2017 Looks like I'm in the minority but actually thought N'Didi had a good game. He basically was on his own. Perhaps TV showed him up for the 3rd goal but Maguire caused the problem by giving it away where he could have kept our attacking momentum going by playing a simple ball to Gray. The basis of a good team is here, but the club have royally stuffed it up by allowing the midfield situation to unfold as it has. We are looking at a completely unnecessary relegation fight. Shakespeare's subs again questionable. Albrighton was starting to get the better of Gomez and we haul him off for a striker who is only effective if we can get crosses in. Baffling, again.

It was a Knocky vs Watford moment. Overall we weren't good enough and we were sloppy with 2 of the goals. I am concerned with midfield and our general slow starts in games. Exactly the same thing happened against Everton in our winning season, when he could have won the golden boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STUHILL Posted 23 September 2017 Share Posted 23 September 2017 How Mahrez thinks he will ever get a move to a "big" club is beyond me. So inconsistent and puts us in some many dangerous situations when he loses the ball. Gray to be given a run in the team now at his expense. Mahrez wants to leave. He isn't playing well. Why wouldn't we give Gray a run of games now. Had more impact in first 10mins than Mahrez did all game. Albrighton was fantastic and can't help think how Slimani would have done with all those delicious early crosses into the box throughout the game. He would get so many assists if he had a target man in the box, as his deliveries are so often spot on. Work rate was phenomenal too. Him and Chilwell were very good on that side.

lozzyblue fox Posted 23 September 2017 Share Posted 23 September 2017 CS needs to go not a manager. Clueless in tactics for the 3rd time in 4 seasons we are going to be in a relagation fight each time with a stuburn manager refusing to listen.

I think he was genuinely exhausted, but the lack of any effort to get back for that counter was very frustrating. Like you said, I think he was basically being overworked all game, partly due to our formation and also the lack of energy King brings in that centre. He doesn't have the composure yet and I would like to see him play in a 3, or at least next to someone like Iborra or Silva who have real quality on the ball. I think he is better pushed forward. He is a little too erratic to be a sitting DCM. You need to be calm and composed on the ball for that (i.e Matic), and he isn't yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jet-plane Posted 23 September 2017 Share Posted 23 September 2017 I thought it was a terrific game and an excellent effort by the lads. Ndidi was exceptional. Maguire and Chilwell will be super players once they learn from their youthful errors. If we had a mobile ball player to play with Ndidi, we'd be right back to our best.

Lionator Posted 23 September 2017 Share Posted 23 September 2017 The state of some of the reactions. Yes it's concerning but the evidence is there that we can score goals, we're creating chances against good teams. It will come good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He closes down quite well when he's far up the pitch which is where I'd like him to play in a 3, with Iborra sitting back and Silva playing as a box-to-box (whenever we get him). Ndidi managed 6 tackles today and 3 interceptions (the most of any player on the pitch), which is crazy, he leads the league in tackles currently. He's definitely being overworked.

Strokes Posted 23 September 2017 Share Posted 23 September 2017 I had turned against craig but if he can use that second half as a springboard for future matches, I'll get back in my box.

Yastafox Posted 23 September 2017 Share Posted 23 September 2017 Vardy’s approach to penalties are much more effective that Mahrez’s but he had a shocker today! Been known to smash it down the middle and has done that in his last two games - he should’ve surely known it was only a matter of time till someone just stood there and batted it away.

FoxesDeb Posted 23 September 2017 Share Posted 23 September 2017 Just got home. Disappointed with many of the official's decisions, and with Vardy's pen. My overriding feeling is that most of them play well as individuals, but we don't seem to have any cohesion any more. And I've never slated King before, I adore the guy, but really, he's out of his depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertfox2 Posted 23 September 2017 Share Posted 23 September 2017 18 minutes ago, The Doctor said: People can talk about ndidi being knackered, but just strolling back and getting outpaced by the ref when they had men over is pathetic. In his defence he was 1vs3 for most of the match. No surprise he was a bit knackered towards the end of the match. Ndidi is a quality player but playing in a 2 man midfield with King for 90 mins against a decent side even Kante would probably struggle. I wish King was better than he is but he just isn't a very good prem player. I was worried last year when we started the Charity shield against Man U with the same 11 as the season before but with King in for Kante. And worried again that instead of Drinkwater we are playing with King. We've had ages to solve the problem. Ndidi was a start and maybe Silva would have been the resolution. People will blame Shakey but he didn't want to sell Drinkwater which means someone else is overseeing transfers over the managers head and someone was late with the Silva paperwork. Probably the same person and likely Rudkin. Our transfer business has been a shambles since we won the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was more down to the same old stubborn never say die spirit of our team, rather than shakey. If anything, I thought he killed our momentum by messing with the balance of the team. Having 3 strikers on the pitch, pushing your best one out wide and taking off the best crosser of the ball when you have Slimani coming on, just made no sense for me. Be disappointed if he makes the same mistake again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Power Posted 23 September 2017 Share Posted 23 September 2017 King is a ghost. We are at least competitive but there are glaring holes in our team and it's preventing us from progressing.

I do wonder whether many (myself included) have bigged young Maguire up a little prematurely. Some of his 'youthful errors' today, in some ways cost us the game imo. We concede far too many goals across the whole team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he genuinely couldn't do that then he should have been subbed off rather than playing a further half hour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
