LCFCSOULBOY Posted 24 November 2017 Posted 24 November 2017 Concerning was what I took from this game. Played a team that are simply awful and we couldn't really create anything. A lot more passing to our normal game but without any real penetration. Ilborra looks like our only real passer. Getting really tired with Mahrez and Gray's almost lazy persona on the field. Passes that are either hit too shot or just off the mark. Best note from the game Albrighton and Simpson only ones who came to play. One last thing, why does Kasper come off line and not jump or command his box. Just ends up on his arse.

We played some really good football in the 1st 40 minutes, we look like a work in progress, which we are again. Stop talking sense, they don't understand it
Dr The Singh Posted 24 November 2017 Posted 24 November 2017 We got good goal, we went into a stupa of just playing out the game, they went and scored. Second half was a non event. I'm really confused are we a counter attacking team or we passing team? At times we well over played. We lacked something in the second half. I'm not sure what it is...
Blue'nWhiteFox Posted 24 November 2017 Posted 24 November 2017 I am optimistic for the future. Getting one point in a away match like this is acceptible.
FoxFossil Posted 24 November 2017 Posted 24 November 2017 Going to have to move the furniture around so I can hide behind the settee for the Spurs match.
Cadno'r Cymoedd Posted 24 November 2017 Posted 24 November 2017 Puel gets a big fat zero from me for a lack of management in that second half. The subs were utterly bizarre. Mahrez off yes maybe as he was a greedy tw@t this evening, but Chilwell with no real attempt to change our set up? I fail to understand that. Then Slimani did best to give the game away with two needless free kicks. First 30 we were good, but largely imploded after that. Worrying. Ndidi gets a lot of plaudits on here and often rightly so. But his first touch is poor and puts him under huge pressure.
reynard Posted 24 November 2017 Posted 24 November 2017 72 mins West Ham 1-1 Leicester I don't know how to put this but... this has been a TERRIBLE second half. Leicester have not had a shot since the 29th minute. From the BBC website. Sorry but that is just not acceptable.
Loves2spooge Posted 24 November 2017 Posted 24 November 2017 IT'S OK GUYS , THEY GAVE 100% AND THAT'S ALL WHAT MATTERS RIGHT ?
surrifox Posted 24 November 2017 Posted 24 November 2017 When we played a counter attacking style with 30-40% possession we looked impregnable at the back with Huth Kasper Morgan and Simpson happy to defend ever deeper . We have added a highly rated England centre back to the mix and play a style aimed at a higher percentage of possession but look just terrible when The oppo attack in the final 3rd . Every side in the division must look at our panicky and disorganised defending and know exactly how to play against us

Am I the only one who thinks a point away from home against a side who really had to win, is actually a good result? We defended resolutely and limited them to hardly any chances. We'd have lost that under Shakey. I remind myself why I come on here less and less. Did you watch the game?? The result is OK but the performance in the second half was dross. West Ham are relegation material and we didn't try to beat them after they scored. We played horribly in the second half - not one attack of note. The final whistle came as a relief when it shouldn't have.
Parafox Posted 24 November 2017 Posted 24 November 2017 My word, we were the kind of shit people with dogs put in a bag and hang on a tree rather that take it home.
foxes_rule1978 Posted 24 November 2017 Posted 24 November 2017 It seems sky stick us on the telly to just big up the opposition all night, why do they talk about them and their players all the time and what they should be doing rather than us? it is f ing annoying, like we are the foreign team in the CL or something haha
brucey Posted 24 November 2017 Posted 24 November 2017 Now that Puel is gradually moulding the team away from the high tempo high pressing game and into his passing possession game, we've gotten worse. Same as what Ranieri tried to do. It just doesn't work.
Dr The Singh Posted 24 November 2017 Posted 24 November 2017 Puel has not impressed so far, his substitutions so far have been awful
adam Posted 24 November 2017 Posted 24 November 2017 If we want to finish in the top half. A point away at filth like that isn't acceptable.

Presumably we'll set up as we did vs Man City. Basically get all the men behind the ball, barely get out of our own half and not have a shot on target. It is the Puel way.
Mike Oxlong Posted 24 November 2017 Posted 24 November 2017 We must’ve played bad with Sky bumming West Ham this much
funkyrobot Posted 24 November 2017 Posted 24 November 2017 As for Puel, persisting with Gray who still combines confident talk and skill with little end product, trying to get Mahrez to work as a 10, playing Benny C as a winger and appearing to settle for a draw early in to the 2nd half leaves me a bit worried. To be fair he probably needs time to get his ideas across and I hope it comes good. Worried for Tuesday though.
foxes_rule1978 Posted 24 November 2017 Posted 24 November 2017 Maybe that is why Southampton sacked him, just negative at times against even the lower teams... fair enough if you are 1-1 with a top six side but west Ham are incapable of breaking down any defence

Tactical insight from the manager?
brucey Posted 24 November 2017 Posted 24 November 2017 I feel that Puel insisting on keeping the ball on the floor is frequently to our detriment. So many times where a boot forward would have been more effective.

Oh dear god ...and we'll still lose...if we got anything out the game great but we'll be boring, still lose and may aswell go home at half time.
Blue'nWhiteFox Posted 24 November 2017 Posted 24 November 2017 Give the new manager more time. There's positive elements if you don't have a too pessimistic view.
Heskey2011 Posted 24 November 2017 Posted 24 November 2017 Come on it wasn't that bad, great first 30mins and we did well not to bottle it at the end.
