HankMarvin Posted 24 February 2018 Posted 24 February 2018 Just now, FIF said: I've never seen Mahrez have so much of the ball - nor do so little with it. 3 poor shots, so many lousy corners and free kicks . James has had a pretty decent first half. Not sure if he should have been marking shaqiri for the goal, think it was more likely Morgan should have stepped up. Chilwell had marked Sahqiri one on one so well on his side of the field. albrighton has been livrly but when the only targets in the box are vardy and Mahrez and you keep passing it to Mahrez there's something wrong. Our corners have been very very disappointing. Still no reason why we shouldn't win this easily looking at Stoke. What has happened to the crowd. No atmosphere from the word go which only got worse. They just spent 45 mins sticking needles in their eyes
uragomper Posted 24 February 2018 Posted 24 February 2018 Puel out! Going to throw 7th place away. Far to negative I have been calling for this for a few weeks he ain’t gotta clue. Now can you see why Southampton got rid of him. 1
Bats8711 Posted 24 February 2018 Posted 24 February 2018 We've gone too far towards possession and lost the directness that has made us difficult to defend when we're on Mahrez has been great (don't know if there's a better first touch in the Premier League) - that's it I don't get James... not blaming him for the first half or anything, but - I really don't get it Gray in the middle is not working
AKCJ Posted 24 February 2018 Posted 24 February 2018 Look at the goal. Whats is Gray turning back like that for? Drive on. He turns and gives the ball back to the defence needlessly. He absolutely is not good enough to be starting Premier League games. 1
Harry96 Posted 24 February 2018 Posted 24 February 2018 Nacho diabete silva Fuchs and dragovic should’ve all started.
Guest Posted 24 February 2018 Posted 24 February 2018 (edited) At least Mehrez has been free - all game. The defender is so inexperienced. Think we need Silva on to unlock this game and possibly Iheanacho to prove a threat upfront. Edited 24 February 2018 by Guest
GeorgeTheFox Posted 24 February 2018 Posted 24 February 2018 Bring Silva on, move Mahrez behind Vardy... need some creativity through the middle. Crossing it just will not work 1
lee7 Posted 24 February 2018 Posted 24 February 2018 Pathetic. Reminds me a lot of watching England, comfortable passing at the back and in midfield but offer nothing going forward. it's nice to see us more comfortable in possession but if it's at the expense of winning then I'd rather see us go back to a counter attacking team. Get Silva and Diabate on for James and Albrighton. 1
UPinCarolina Posted 24 February 2018 Posted 24 February 2018 Gray has regressed or stalled in his development. Simpson ought not to start in a possession based system. James doesn't have the pace to keep up with any rapidity ahead of him.

Honestly tempted to turn this off at halftime and do something worthwhile with my morning. And yes, I know that type of whining is ridiculous - but so is how negative and shit our play has been up to this point. I get this feeling a lot these days. Almost becomes a waste of 2 hours of my day

I'd be more worried about that gap to the bottom closing at the rate it is. We look utterly horrendous at the moment, can't see us beating anyone.
The Guvnor Posted 24 February 2018 Posted 24 February 2018 Swop Gray and Mahrez positions and yell at those stupid fcuks in defence to close their most likely goal scorer down then we will be sorted
Chester Dontlie Posted 24 February 2018 Posted 24 February 2018 Can somebody who says James is playing well PM me their stream. I must be watching the wrong game 2
Tuna Posted 24 February 2018 Posted 24 February 2018 Absolute rubbish. No idea what our game plan is, no intensity, no creativity, just poor all round. Has Vardy touched the ball more than twice? Gray and James are useless, Albrighton is having a mare. Stoke have conceded over 50 goals and we've barely troubled them. Need a decisive reaction in the second half.
J.Lisemore Posted 24 February 2018 Posted 24 February 2018 We are not a possession based side. Give them more of the ball.
Beechey Posted 24 February 2018 Author Posted 24 February 2018 I'd shift to this Simpson Morgan Maguire Chilwell Ndidi Silva Diabate Mahrez Gray Vardy
Farrington fox Posted 24 February 2018 Posted 24 February 2018 I have said it many times, James is a reasonable Championship player. Puel needs to wake up to it or fvck off

James doesn't have the pace to keep up with any rapidity ahead of him. Honestly think Gray has gone backwards. I was a big Gray fan, even when a lot of people were slating him. He was always capable of beating a man and doing something dangerous, even if his final ball wasn't always there. Now he doesn't even do that anymore. 1

The problem is both holding midfielders end up on the touchline - why James goes to support wilf all the way out there I’ve no idea - anyone else then fine but not your fellow cdm
somebum Posted 24 February 2018 Posted 24 February 2018 Absolutely awful. Chilwell shocking, again. Why we not playing our best players? Silva, Iborra? Diabate? James absent. Gray brainless. We are so poor. Cant see progress under this guy at all.

He gets chances to play and does **** all.
southfox66 Posted 24 February 2018 Posted 24 February 2018 Puel has been with us long enough to be able to know the right team, but he going backwards with his teams, seems clueless, we seem to have fallen into the habit of going backwards movement on the pitch instead of forward, starting to wonder if puel can really take us forward?

You're getting boring with your constant digs at Mahrez. Your dislike of him clouds your judgment. Gray was shit, Albrighton was shit and James was shit. But no, you have to take a dump at our only attacking threat playing with litterally no support. Edited 24 February 2018 by ZeGuy 3
fairbanksh Posted 24 February 2018 Posted 24 February 2018 Really poor selection No creativity in midfield Simpson and Was far too slow Comon Claus get a grip
foxfan92 Posted 24 February 2018 Posted 24 February 2018 I’d be tempted to make 3 changes and change the formation too. We need 3 in midfield and wingers capable of pulling their players out of position on the pitch. Maybe need Ineanacho on supporting Vardy too. If their going to park the bus we need to give them too many things to think about and pull them out of position/ distrupt their organisation.
