Guest Posted 31 January 2018 Posted 31 January 2018 Defence, midfield and attack seem to be miles apart with huge spaces for Everton in between. Gray might as well not be on the pitch. Think I'd move him into the okazaki role, stick albrighton on the left, let's see what the kid diabate can do on the right, Ibarra or silva on for James.
EnderbyFox Posted 31 January 2018 Posted 31 January 2018 Grays decision making is so poor, lost count of how many times he runs into an alley surrounded by at least 3 players. 2
Guest ttfn Posted 31 January 2018 Posted 31 January 2018 There was a period of play just before half time which culminated in Rooney sort of poking wide where Chilwell looked like he had either totally lost the co-ordination of his legs or never seen a football before.
the fox Posted 31 January 2018 Posted 31 January 2018 way to go, lads! showing mahrez that we don't need him 1
MC Prussian Posted 31 January 2018 Posted 31 January 2018 Ok, gotten in late. So what time does the game start?

I thought it might have galvanised us, but its had the opposite effect. I wouldn't play him again for the season and then ship him off for 15 mil to st Etienne or someone in the summer, see how he likes those onions. I'm not happy with his antics at all. It's part of the circus but it still pisses me off. However you're utterly deluded if you think one second that we held on our best player just to send him to the reserve. He'll very probably play against Swansea unless Puel decides otherwise. Which I doubt because it makes no sense from a footballistic point of view. You're thinking just as a fan not from the managing side.
jim5000 Posted 31 January 2018 Posted 31 January 2018 Iborra, Silva, Diabate on, who cares who goes off. 1
ALC Fox Posted 31 January 2018 Posted 31 January 2018 No need to overreact. We were good for the first 20 mins or so. Their first goal was against the run of play but we couldn't get a grip of it since then. They deserved the second. A good team talk is needed and we need to bring Vardy into the game. If we start the second half like we did the first and manage to pull one back, I can see us eventually gaining a point minimum. 1
Chester Dontlie Posted 31 January 2018 Posted 31 January 2018 (edited) we need Vince and/or Silva. AND Diabs. Albrighton is having a mare but maybe he'll start clicking in the second half. Gray is almost invisible and so is Vards Edited 31 January 2018 by Chester Dontlie
biggs Posted 31 January 2018 Posted 31 January 2018 Not watching other than FT but sounds a shambles. Half-time based on FT I'd make all 3 subs right away to change the dynamics of this game quickly.

Legend_in_blue Posted 31 January 2018 Posted 31 January 2018 Poor performance all round. Not surprising since our "star player" was giving it this and that with big grins on the bench at the weekend, clearly in the managers plans tonight. Team preparation and mental readiness are absolutely key to a winning formula. Cheers Mahrez.
AKCJ Posted 31 January 2018 Posted 31 January 2018 (edited) Literally have no idea what i'd do at half time here. Too many players are having the sort of game that would usually lead you to come off. I'd switch it up to 4-2-3-1 I think. Silva needs to come on and calm this shit down. Probably take Shiji off for Diabate too.

The Guvnor Posted 31 January 2018 Posted 31 January 2018 Time for Appleton to say 'you go and have a nice cup of tea Claude I'll have a quiet word with them '. 2

Chilwell making error after error, and aimlessly crossing or giving the ball away, I’m sure wasn’t in puels plans. Gray another chance, been poor, Okazaki cannot retain a ball, and albrighton lack of quality in picking a pass and cross, all contributed to that poor first half. I would say the rest have done ok, without setting the world alight. I am not disagreeing that individual players are playing poorly. But the whole shenanigans around Mahrez acting the Prima Donna will have undoubtedly affected the camp. Not an excuse for anything but some of the explanation. Of course we need to try to shake it off.

Absolutely I'm thinking as a fan, I'm livid with him and wish we had just sold him, he will be as much use as he was last season now.

Touché, we need the right subs but we can quickly be right in this game.
