Farrington fox Posted 2 December 2017 Posted 2 December 2017 Got to half time with our lead intact. Something needs to change 2nd half or this will end in disappointment!

StriderHiryu Posted 2 December 2017 Posted 2 December 2017 Double espressos all round please! Just haven’t got going. Good result and since Brady went off we’ve looked better but this is a huge step down compared to mid week. Maybe some of the boys are tired? Pleased to be one up but haven’t really deserved it. But if we wake up we should have too much. Maguire has been fantastic today.
PhillippaT Posted 2 December 2017 Posted 2 December 2017 Need to tighten it up in possession - gave the ball away way too much that half, even if Burnley's pressing was a good reason for that...

Lcfcrory Posted 2 December 2017 Posted 2 December 2017 Pretty poor half imo but Mahrez and Maguire have both played very well
TeaMen Tom Posted 2 December 2017 Posted 2 December 2017 Match changed when Brady went out. Burnley wasn't nearly as dangerous. I'd think Claude stays with what he's got for at least 15 min to see if they can generate something but Vardy needs to be involved more.
Beechey Posted 2 December 2017 Posted 2 December 2017 Seem a bit tired, only had 3 days or so to rest from last game.
UPinCarolina Posted 2 December 2017 Posted 2 December 2017 Shinji on, please. We could use the jolt in the arm.

Legend_in_blue Posted 2 December 2017 Posted 2 December 2017 That Tarkowski is lucky to still be on the pitch. Deliberate stamp which goes unpunished.
Jaspa Posted 2 December 2017 Posted 2 December 2017 Wilf looks knackered. They're a rough physical side, on borders of getting away with it mostly. Losing Brady is a huge blow though, they need to figure things out to get anything. We need a good second half please

trabuch Posted 2 December 2017 Posted 2 December 2017 I am quite enjoying this. Burnley are exactly the sort of team we need to be beating if we want to push for Europe. And we are doing OK. We are playing them at their peak and our defence is coping. We have created chances. Iborra and Ndidi not up to their performances on Tuesday, but Shinji's energy towards the end of the game will win us this.
lee7 Posted 2 December 2017 Posted 2 December 2017 Winning but undeservedly. Something needs to change or we'll end up drawing/losing this. Again we look poor defending corners and free kicks! Chilwell has given Mee a free header on two occasions. Burnley look well organised and hard to break down.

vanity Posted 2 December 2017 Posted 2 December 2017 Really think we should look to get Shinji into the game. The lads are just a step slow today, and we are incredibly fortunate Burnley isn't anything close to clinical or we'd be losing. Those arcing corners that keep finding Burnley players' heads, we have been very, very lucky with those. IDK how we haven't conceded, all I can think is those corner kicks just have so much movement, even the Burnley players cannot get a handle on precisely where they are headed. But we need to avoid set pieces at any cost, they are a nightmare every time, all those free headers.
KingsX Posted 2 December 2017 Posted 2 December 2017 They had > 60% possession until Brady went out. Reversed since. NBC shows it as roughly even at the half.

At the KP, we should be the team with the initiative. My worry is we don't seem to have a clear idea of how to break down their defense. If we get going on the counter, when we don't have to think of anything but getting fwd, we seem ok, but when we have the ball on the wings, or in the middle of the field, there just doesn't seem to be a clear idea of what we want to do with the ball.
Webbo Posted 2 December 2017 Posted 2 December 2017 Shinji on sooner rather than later please for Gray or Mahrez, probably Gray.
