TheUltimateWinner Posted 14 December 2019 Posted 14 December 2019 Only me who thinks Rodgers was a bit premature taking nachoman off? He looked lively.
Guest Manini Posted 14 December 2019 Posted 14 December 2019 Some serious flapping going on in here - blood pressure must be through the roof in the Leicester area. Shit today. Fair ****s to Norwich. We’re still a good team. Tielemans is still quality. We’ll get something against Man City.
Jaspa Posted 14 December 2019 Posted 14 December 2019 Norwich were good, Pukki impressive and Aarons not bad either. We set up wrong, they completely ran over the midfield and could've been 2 up by the time we'd reacted. Gray not great off the bench, would've favoured Ayoze given they were going to sit in and invite pressure. We didn't lose and we've played pretty poorly. Long way to go this season and we're clearly still a work in progress in regards to having different plans for different opponents. Vardy getting 8 in a row is still very impressive, as was the 8 game winning run. Still time to get something else up and running again this season.

We just drew with the Robin Hood of the league!

I thought at the time he should have waited till HT, especially as we just scored, won’t do Ian’s confidence any good that
Kuredufox Posted 14 December 2019 Posted 14 December 2019 Lets put it all into perspective. We are second, unbeaten at home, 9 games unbeaten. How can people be disappointed. Yes we could have played better, certain players could have played better. We have a young team progressing nicley and with some shrewd additions in January and the summer we will be a force for a long time.

Diamond simply wasnt working and they were walking through our midfield at will. No reflection on Nacho.
kingfox Posted 14 December 2019 Posted 14 December 2019 Lucky to even get a point from that. Thank god Soyuncu and Ricardo got back to deny Pukki on two occasions. That match proved that we desperately need a quality winger in January, Harvey Barnes was a joke.
KingKoala Posted 14 December 2019 Posted 14 December 2019 Barnes seems to be afraid of making mistakes or he's just not good enough.
TheUltimateWinner Posted 14 December 2019 Posted 14 December 2019 Some positives today: Ndidi is the dogs bollocks Some of our last ditch defending was outstanding
Mike Oxlong Posted 14 December 2019 Posted 14 December 2019 Wide men really struggled today and too many players were off the pace Fair play to Norwich who came to play football
Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 14 December 2019 Posted 14 December 2019 Que full blown hysteria!! Breath everyone!!

Shit today. Fair ****s to Norwich. We’re still a good team. Tielemans is still quality. We’ll get something against Man City. Can't help it: lose to Man City and Liverpool and the likes of Spurs/United pick up points and we are in danger of losing confidence and ****ing up our champions League spot. Teams properly in contention for the top spot don't scrape a point against second-from-bottom and that's the difference between us and Liverpool: Thier off-days result in wins.
StriderHiryu Posted 14 December 2019 Posted 14 December 2019 Starting with the diamond cost us the points today. Team balance much better second half though Barnes and Gray poor and even Maddison not on it today other than set piece delivery. Still 8 wins and 1 draw in 9 is superb going even if our outside title aspirations are over.
NaijaFox Posted 14 December 2019 Posted 14 December 2019 Btw, we need to find a way to provide more defensive COVER for Chilwell. Time and time again, the ball was played out wide to his side of the field to an entirely FREE Norwich City player.

Well Man City lost to Norwich, Liverpool have just been too good... we are 9 unbeaten taking 25 points from the last 27, I think that is decent.
RowlattsFox Posted 14 December 2019 Posted 14 December 2019 My concern is people are going to start thinking finish top 4 is going to be disappointing because we didn't 'challenge' Liverpool. We've just won 8 in a row, we were bound to slip up at some point.

I thought he was dreadful. Gave the ball away nearly every time he got it after a bright first 5-10 minutes culminating in that shot. As I said in the match thread, I thought he did the right thing in playing on after the throw in. (From memory) it went out after a 50:50 between Ricardo and Pukki.

We had more possession in the second half but didn’t do much with it. Norwich actually had the better chances. I still don’t think the formation was the problem, the performance was. Pukki rode Soyuncu like a rented mule all day and most of the side was off the pace.

I do think we have to accept that with a side so young, these sort of games are bound to pop up every now and then - and they're the exception rather than the norm.
Mike Oxlong Posted 14 December 2019 Posted 14 December 2019 Time to start a new winning and Vardy goal scoring streak

We've just won 8 in a row, we were bound to slip up at some point. Exactly there never was a title challenge. Unfortunately some overly precious types got upset that we weren’t in the conversation when the team top of the table has taken 76 points out of the last 78. Never in a million years were we winning the league this season. Great effort to even make top 4 and we should be very pleased with the start we’ve made even if today was a total shit show.
martyn Posted 14 December 2019 Posted 14 December 2019 Everybody was off it today except Ndidi who was head and shoulders above everyone. Norwich did an excellent job pressing us all over the pitch, and managed to stop the little give and goes and triangles that get our full backs in behind. Been a long time since ive seen Ricardo truly nullified like that. Was a mistake to go with the diamond in hindsight as it gave Norwich a foothold. Normally games have gone our way after we start to overwhelm teams with our energy, or that extra quality we now possess makes the difference. We never looked like doing either today, and thats as much credit to Norwich as our own deficiencies. Think they can stay up if they dont get further injury problems in their back 4.

Norwich definitely kicked it out,maybe he thought they did it for ricardo being injured.anyway it was strange.
