I was more shocked Inacho, he was today mega shit and has been throughoit

That's why I said someone to eventually replace vardy because I don't think iheanacho will be able to do it.

[RowlattsFox]

Obviously don’t want to be too critical but the lack of quality shone through the longer the game went on and lack of options to change it were clear. Followed a similar pattern to lot of home games under Puel unfortunately. 

 

Unbelievable effort to even get a reasonable level of performance.

Poor is very harsh. We were relentlessly attacking for most of the game and the reason we looked a bit flat for some of it might have something to do with skipping training to travel 6,000 mile and back again within 36 hours. 

Yeah, poor might be harsh I'll give you that. You can't fault the effort of the players -  I guess emotion is draining and there has been plenty of that. Just felt like we weren't really sure what direction we were going in at times. Brush ourselves off and look to the end of the month. International break is coming at a good time to get our heads together.

Players and staff will be emotionally and physically drained after these past 2 weeks but 4 from 6 Vichai would be proud I'm sure I know I am, players, staff, fans, the city I salute you.

Maybe, depends on who we can get really maybe someone like wesley from club brugge. Someone who has decent pace and can hold up the ball a more complete striker. Whether we can get one is another problem though.

For a team that’s hardly trained and gone across the other side of the world this week, I was so proud that they gave it their all until the very end. 

[Guest]

Gray is now our best striker.

 

4 from 6 sounds good ( and in the circumstances it is) but that was Cardiff away and Brunley at home. 6 from 6 would have been realistic.

Thought Ghezzal looked good.  X

He was really REALLY good in the 1st half and unlucky to have not got his name on the sheet. Id like him, along with Soyuncu to get a decent run in the team now. 

 

I do fear though we need another striker, not saying anything about Vardy as i think if we had a poacher he would have the top assists for the season. He makes some incredible runs and then there is no one there waiting for the cross. 

 

Love Shinji and will always love him but i'd really like us to have someone stronger who can score more goals in the team. 

[RumbleFox]

We should sign Callum Wilson, Loftus-Cheek and Rashford in January.  Proper spunkfest.  X

I hope ALL the players now have a good rest as no game next week. Not even for there country if picked after the last 2 weeks they need time to recoup there energy and relax.

We were poor, there is no hiding it. The events of the past fortnight quite rightly overshadow any football match, but we we looked flat after about the 30th minute. We should be fired up.

 

Don't really understand why we took Albrighton off when we finally brought a half target man on.

 

On a sidenote, that prematch video was spine tingling. Club did Vichai proud.

Ave a word.

 

if I had travelled to and from Thailand in the space of 3 days, with all the jet lag involved I’d probay be in bed for a week. Let alone be able to train and play a full premier league game..

[whoareyaaa]

Could have won, unlucky with a few chances Gray, Okazaki, Vardy on another day we win 1-0 think you could tell that we wasn't up to full fitness which was to be expected.

 

Chillwel looked fatigue badly and won't do him any good going on international duty

 

Ghezzal had a good game made a lot of things happen so you can expect a few mistakes from him but he looks good imo.

 

Mendy didn't really turn up today wish he would get forward more and play the ball forward as he is capable of it.

 

other than that a much need 2 weeks rest for some of the players, a lot to be done yet but this was more about Vichai today the result doesn't really matter.

[The Doctor]

We were the better side, on another day would have won comfortably. However, I've no idea how Ghezzal finished the match, he was their best defender with how regularly he killed off our attacks (and only one sub made before 5 minutes left when on top and looking to press home the advantage was really poor from Claude)

Unfortunately quite a few of them have the meaningless "Nations Cup" or something to attend to......

I thought Ghezzal was good

We have no subs to bring on. Bless Nacho, he has ability but his mentality is often not right and today was one of those days. Trying too hard

Shinji almost made a difference to be fair

We made a lot of good chances today. I thought it showed that Puel's tactics are not a problem, we just dont have enough finishers atm. No Mahrez to feed Vardy

[Vlad the Fox]

Very emotional scenes at the end. 

 

Really felt like 'the king is dead, long live the king' with Top walking round the pitch and greeting fans, then walking into the centre circle to acknowledge the fans.

I said along these lines in the post match thread. We really do need nother striker along with Vardy. 

 

Preferably a target man.. We put in so many corners / crosses etc into the box i think we could benefit so much with someone big to stick his nut on the ball. Surprised since Maguire wasnt playing and it was a home game we didnt drop one of Mendy or N'didi for Iborra, specifically for this reason.

Evans MOM for me, thought he dealt with everything confidently and distribution was good. Ricardo was good as well. Vardy did well just not happening in front of goal, should have done better when through on the 60th min though. 

 

Chilwell struggled, Mendy not his best and Ndidi was an inconsistent as ever. 

 

Ghezzal was excellent first half but then tried to do too much in the second. 

[RowlattsFox]

Slimani must’ve been bad in the dressing room because for me he should still be here as an option.

Agree with you on everything except i didnt think Chilwell had a bad game. He made the odd error but he is fast becoming my favourite LCFC player. The improvement from last year is ridiculous. 

 

He really is going to be an outstanding player and hard to keep in a year or 2.

First twenty minutes yes, but beyond that he offered little to nothing.

Dont agree with that, but fair enough

[Larry_LCFC]

I do feel for Vardy. England never played to his strengths and now Leicester aren't either. He looks so isolated when he plays as the lone striker. I can't remember the last time he played well on his own but we persist with it.

Needs to be in a front two.
