Needs to stop peddling shit t-shirts and thinking he's hilarious otherwise Chilwell will take his place and he won't get back in the team.

he will have to put an ad out for a job if he carries on

[foxes67]

Kasper said he couldnt see ball from free kick thought was keepers job to set up wall take your best position 

so can see flight of ball..

WBA were dogshit and we didnt beat them at home think ive said enough..

But how much of that is under the control of the manager? That's more my point. 

The manager should be setting out how the team plays. I'm sure the West Brom players would like to play more expansively but the manager drills them in a certain way.

 

The issue we've got is the fact the players put our manager in the job, talked him up in the press, is he strong enough to go against that? We needed an overhaul of playing staff, coaching staff and playing style in the summer and we've failed on virtually every count so far.

harry maguire was our best attacking player. I’m going to bed. 

[Monsell1976]

Looked like a team without confidence or a plan, a very undeserved point.

[TeamRocket]

We went from come back kings to champs to chumps and now a joke of a team whats next??

[Beechey]

Badmouth Ndidi all you'd like but he wasn't anywhere near as bad as the worst of that game. Made 7 tackles, 78% pass completion, made by far the most passes of the game (most being short since his long passing isn't great, which is fine), got more aerial duel wins than any West Brom player etc. If you're looking for a scapegoat, Ndidi isn't it.

[DelBoy73]

So painfully predictable and toothless. That 4-4-2 will be our downfall if someone doesn't talk sense to CS .

One thing stroke me like a slap in the face : Iborra will never fit in a two men midfield, period.

First of all, he doesn't have the pace and work-rate of an Ndiddy or Drinkwater. 
Secondly, at Sevilla he was used to play in a 4-1-2-2-1 as a sentinel behind a midfield-two of Nzonzi and Vasquez.

Even a blind man's dog could see that this midfield is atrociously imbalanced.

As a result, Vardy is living out of scraps, Simpson/Albrighton and Fuchs constantly resort to orbital hoofs and Mahrez gets the ball most of the time in his own half.

That scenario is repeating itself game after game after game, and still no evidence of CS planning to make a significant change in our set-up.

Remind me of the old saying:  fool me once, shame on you, but foul me twice, shame on me....

Didnt quite catch your reply. 

[Cockyfox]

Have to give a bit of credit to shakey with his substitutions as slimani and chilwell played a massive role in the goal with slimani making a quality knock down to find mahrez who looked better in his more central role. For me if we play to his strengths, Slimani can play a huge role for us this season. He did more in 20 mins than either Iheanacho and Vardy did with Iheanacho looking especially rusty. However the last 20 mins showed us what we all knew a few games ago, we MUST play with wing backs and it's taken way too long for Shakey to realise.

Thought Albrighton and Mahrez both did ok tbf, not amazing, but they looked the most likely to make something happen. Slimani did well when he came on too.

 

Overall pretty rancid and I've gotten to the point where I think it's time for Shakespeare to go, but we looked so so much better once we switched to 3-5-2. Hopefully we can finally abandon 4-4-2 for Swansea.

[Larry_LCFC]

I'm more annoyed that their keeper was practically in a wheel chair for the second half and we had about 2 shots. Criminal.

[I blame Wellens]

Well done Vardy and Simmo. A good effort from both. Nothing else to say.

So that does go down as another one of our tough fixtures where we could expect nothing more than we got?

Yes it must do, we never get anything at home to them.

 

So actually the season is going quite well, according to plan you could say.

It was more of a 343, no? Fuchs, Morgan and Maguire at the back with Albrighton and Chilwell as WBs, Nididi and Iborra in midfield, with Slimani, Vardy and Mahrez at the top.

Do we think players like Gray and Dragovic turn up to training and light a spliff and just throw stone at the staff or something ?

[irishfoxkev]

Maybe I blinked but can't recall seeing Shakey post match interview on Sky ....Is there a sinister reason for this ??

Do us a favour and predict Shakespeare being sacked.

The BBC predictor doesn't have that option, sorry

I've said this already, but Dragovic is wasting his time here. 

 

A well-rated, ball-playing, (relatively) young CB on a plate for us to sign, and you know he's got no chance at making it into the PL side under Pulis Jr. This will be especially so when our Huthy returns.

 

Edit: Hang on, I forgot: he'll get a bloody good run-out for the few cup games we enjoy this season, along with our record signings.

Heard it on BBCRL. Said something like "we had more of the ball, we didn't move it enough, was important to adapt so we were good when we changed shape. Happy for Mahrez. Not against changing the shape against Swansea"

 

Massive paraphrasing though

[Ted Maul]

Utterly dreadful. I knew we wouldn't actually bother attacking them until they inevitably scored from a set piece.

 

Positive that we showed a bit of fight and looked accomplished when we actually tried to get forward (there's a surprise...), but that first 70 minutes was shocking- we'll go down if we carry on like that, make no mistake.
