Surely we can have a separate thread for the Rotherham game, is anyone there? How are we doing?

1-1 just conceded a really poor goal. Harvey looking sharp, Justin in wrong game. Gray done nothing. Nacho scored so 2 in 2! (Should have had at least 2 more tho)

Ref's been really weird. Dead keen to give Stoke the pen. Ignores a keeper handling the ball 5 yards outside his box, blows up with 30 seconds left to go of a MINIMUM of 2 mins stoppage time to avoid having to award us a free kick on the edge of the Stoke box for a foul on Perez.

Gray being Gray then?

I can see what we're trying to do, and it's nearly come off for us on a few occasions, but it's all a bit 'nice' at the moment. Still, just got to remind myself (before everyone else does) that preseason is all about fitness.

Yeah it's a bit Puel-esque in that sense.

 

*Shudder*

It's incredible they aren't giving video replay of the goals.

Very interesting half of football to watch lots of good play but also with some concerns.

 

Good

- Lovely crisp interchange at times.

- High press game working very well at times. The team press as a unit, squeeze the play in and force the turnover.

- Playing the ball out from the back to keep the initiative and momentum when possible.

- Making lots of chances.

 

Bad

- When Stoke have beaten our high press, we've been completely open. We will concede a number of goals from a turnover this season.

- Getting into trouble when playing out from the back. Like I said in an earlier post, this is very reminiscent of Rodgers at Swansea where Vorm got caught for a few goals. But over the course of a season lead to a better attack, so it's something we need to adjust too, even if Kasper has made unforced errors today.

- Not clinical enough, just like last season. This is my biggest worry for the season about to start. Do we have the goals in the team to make a push for top 6? Vardy we know can score, Perez maybe can. But it feels to me like we badly miss another clinical player in the front 3.

- Lost our shape about midway through the game. Tielemans not as influential today and I feel it's because he's drifted around more than he did in the previous game.

 

 

Overall though it's quite a fascinating game to watch, just to see how our style of play progresses from game to game.

 

tough game to judge due to the conditions, players wont be going full throttle as you could easily pick up injuries in a game like this. (as seen with Shawcross)

 

Think Atlanta will give us a better idea.

I think they played music at "full crowd" volume, and in an empty stadium, Matty Elliott was overpowered by the volume and struggled to gather his thoughts. 

 

lol
