Anyone know how the fook we are losing this?

Well, when a player puts the round bouncy thing into the big net thing at the other end of the pitch from their big net thing, it counts more towards winning than kicking it backwards and forwards

So, yes we are ignoring stats and facts to suit an agenda...

Must be. I don’t care what the stats say he is far from the problem, this side simply do not create and lack flair

Just seen the replay of Jamie's goal that wasn't,  it should have stood, there keeper has leant into Vardy and lost his balance.

I certainly agree... but we haven’t looked dangerous and their keeper hasn’t had to work

Worst team in the league to watch by a mile, we draw against terrible teams playing the same terrible football each week and people bring up our position in the league... well you wont be able to hide behind that for much longer

We are as dull as the manager..Get him gone,he's killing any energy this club had...

Anyone that thinks we aren't sliding into a relegation battle is seriously deluded. We aren't even getting the scrappy results anymore and the teams around us have started to win. How people continue to defend this clown of a manager is beyond me.

Yeah those other teams teams have been brilliant of late.

[BenTheFox]

What on earth has happened to Ndidi?

[Dr The Singh]

Just watched the goal again just like I did with the Son goal, Mendy is a ****wit, and should have again come out quicker

[Hammo]

One bit of quality all half. Unfortunately it came from them.

 

Dross.

[TheLittleBigMan]

Maddison drops deep, passes the ball out wide, Fuchs crosses to the smallest man on the pitch. Repeat

Not good.

 

First 20 minutes we were rubbish. Giving the ball away continually.

 

Then we came into the game but Ndidi has been atrocious, Mendy should have closed the goal scorer down, Maddison has been non-existant and Iheanacho hasn't touched the ball.

 

Has Vardy done any better today than Nacho in the last game?

 

I think Iborra on for Ndidi is a must and Nacho on for Albrighton.

 

Bright points:

 

Wes has been pretty good and Fuchs the best player on our team today.

Wahhhhh!

 

Dunno what you're on about, it's bloody brilliant this is! You don't know how lucky you are to be witnessing it! Bloody fantastic stuff!

You need an anger-management course...

[Sublime_Coatsworth]

We need to bring Gray on for the second half.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

oh wait, he's already on. Lad's been busy...

[cal21212121]

Why is he playing Gray as a second striker with Maddison going wide left? Makes no sense

[Marshall Cockney Fox]

We were poor first twenty and then the better team before their goal. We were retaining possession and get good ball in the final third. Maddison is coming way too deep and leaving Vardy isolated. I think it's just an natural result of Mendy & Ndidi creating so little. I genuinely think Maguire would be a better holding mid. His passing us infinitely better than the above 2.

[Corky]

It's all going to end one way and that is the manager going. Just when that will be I've no idea.

 

I don't anticipate a significant improvement under the next man but this just isn't working.

 

 

[foxes_rule1978]

I expect we will have 30 minute spell we’re we create chances, it seems to be how it is going every game. So a 1-1 draw is likely, but why not just play 90 mins that way?

It's clearly a foul, stop being biased.

We should be moving away from thinking that way 

Indeed. But with the run of games we’ve got coming up I’m getting worried

We are hamstrung by Ndidi and Mendy.

 

We don't even necessarily need a deeper lying ball player, just somebody who can allow us to get the ball quicker into our attacking players before the opponent's set themselves.

 

Gray, Maddison and Albrighton have been anonymous, but I don't necessarily blame them as they never get the ball in dangerous areas as we are so laboured. A bit like Ranieri second season where Mahrez got nullified as he was doubled up, and we were so slow in working the ball to him.

Exactly.  Gray has been pretty bad, but generally speaking those guys are having to provide their own service because Mendy and Ndidi are incapable of instigating anything.  At least Maddison is trying to facilitate but it's obviously far less than ideal for him to drop all the way back to our defensive third when he's the guy the player in that position should be trying to get the ball to further upfield.

We all knew this was coming

[lgfualol]

I second the Nacho switch for Albrighton.

 

Albrighton would cross the ball if we had Warwick Davis in the box surrounded by a defence consisting of giants. Vardy is suffering big time from such limited players.
