StanSP Posted 20 April 2019 Posted 20 April 2019 Much better in 2nd half. Their 2nd goal was against the run of play and after we should have had a free kick earlier. Our 2nd goal was after they should have had a goal stand as Perez was onside so it evened itself out there. The first half was very slow and turgid from us and it was made easy for them to go ahead. Felt like a proper end of season performance from us. Positive being another assist from Youri ( ) and Barnes getting his first goal for us. Very happy for him to finally break that duck as he deserves it after some of his performances. Need to be much improved for next Sunday. I suspect Arsenal's line up will be much changed so they can focus on Europa League...
danny2997 Posted 20 April 2019 Posted 20 April 2019 Fair result in the end, but its good to see Barnes getting off the mark which should get him going for the rest of this season and into next season. Iheanacho was also quite good when he came on today as well which is good to see, hopefully he can begin to kick on.
Foxhateram Posted 20 April 2019 Posted 20 April 2019 Just now, Charl91 said: West Ham were robbed then. Sure their disallowed goal was onside. We had a hefty Penalty shout, their second was a tiny bit, but was offside and the ref called for a foul on Maguire as we played gray in in the left. Pretty even game, with evenly poor decisions by the ref for both sides. We really should have taken that at 1:1 though. We were in control second half until we scored. Must concentrate better when the pressure is on. Overall a decent result at a tough place to go. Europa League still possible. Although Watford winning makes it a mountain to climb now.
Keiriel Posted 20 April 2019 Posted 20 April 2019 I'm starting to think that Chilwell is the Cavani of LBs; his best work comes when he has no time to think and plays instinctively.
Ted Maul Posted 20 April 2019 Posted 20 April 2019 Delighted to get out of that with a point, we were dreadful. Vardy, Barnes, booze- proper bank holiday.
RowlattsFox Posted 20 April 2019 Posted 20 April 2019 Fair result really, same problems persist but quality is there when we get it right. Nice to see Barnes tried from the right and delighted he got his goal. Even, average game from everyone. 7th is Watford's to lose but can see us beating one of the big boys we have left.
Nicolo Barella Posted 20 April 2019 Posted 20 April 2019 Iheanacho has looked a lot sharper since Brendan has come in.
GeorgeTheFox Posted 20 April 2019 Posted 20 April 2019 Sounds silly considering we conceded twice but Evans had a very, very good game. If Gray ever starts over Barnes again I'm gonna have an aneurysm. Also, called it before the game that Barnes would bag from the bench
StriderHiryu Posted 20 April 2019 Posted 20 April 2019 At the game now. Christ this stadium is soulless! Enjoyable game and great to see Barnes score. His celebration was amazing, you could see what it meant to him. I thought we would win it after we equalised but we lost control of the game and let them back in. Still the future is very bright and very pleased with the fighting spirit. Where I think we need work is in how to control the game. Tielemans has both some good and bad touches but we couldn’t get him on the ball enough. Ndidi is the one that receives it the most and though he was decent, as we know he gives it away cheaply too often and it causes our attacks to break down. Tons of potential in the team and we made a lot of chances. Why did Nacho head it with his foot!? Good work in progress for Rodgers. Albrighton impactful. Despite the score our future is way rosier than the Hammers.

shailen Posted 20 April 2019 Posted 20 April 2019 Great resilience and a good finish by Barnes to win it for us. Nacho made an impact when he came on and Pereira played really well on the right all game.

Guest Posted 20 April 2019 Posted 20 April 2019 I can't accept the beach excuse for our first half performance. Their holidays are long enough already. At least we played a little faster and more focussed in, the second half but that's 2 points thrown away again. We really only have ourselves to blame for not wrapping up 7th this season.

foxes_rule1978 Posted 20 April 2019 Posted 20 April 2019 Maybe there is hope for Nacho, a full pre-season could get his confidence up and he could be like a new signing
whoareyaaa Posted 20 April 2019 Posted 20 April 2019 Great to see Barnes open his account I think he should be playing alongside Vardy though not as a winger Poor first half, much better second half probably a draw is a fair result

Livid Posted 20 April 2019 Posted 20 April 2019 We're just doing enough to maintain the illusion that we actually want to finish 7th and the possibility of starting pre-season weeks early.

Nicolo Barella Posted 20 April 2019 Posted 20 April 2019 Barnes' goal was the 5000th scored in the Top 4 divisions this season
