Guest Posted 20 June 2020 Posted 20 June 2020 surprised the comments are so negative In the circumstances I thought we did pretty well. Pearson out-managed Rodgers with his tactics but city were the team with more skill. Kasper was very good - other than his complete lack of defensive management but that goes without saying after all these years. Justin fit in well and was probably out best outfield player Evans and Soyuncu were solid against a big and fast watford attack where Deeney continues to defy logic in the air. Chilwell defended Sarr well given that Sarr is amazingly quick and going forward he was good capped off with a great goal. N'Didi wasn't so good but still broke up a lot of plays, he gave up the ball a couple of times though Youri was okay without doing much good or bad. Maddison played a few incredible passes and kept the ball down well on his shots Albrighton gave the ball away too many times but he ran around and had that one great shot. Barnes didn't do anything badly but he didn't do anything good either (like YT) Vardy looked good in the first few minutes but rarely saw the ball later. BR seems to have forgotten how to use him. Demarai came on and was a game changer. Great display by him and his passes were excellent. Iheanacho came on and looked very good in the few minutes he was there Hamza came on a put himself about. Watford are a better team than their position suggests their weakness was defence but NP has made them solid there. they'll not go down which is a shame as I'd have liked Sarr and deofeulou Overall a fair if disappointing result which will look good if followed with 2 wins and bad if followed with 2 losses. I'll go for the former
HighPeakFox Posted 20 June 2020 Posted 20 June 2020 Annoying as hell. But for those saying 'typical Leicester', then you have a bad case of confirmation bias.
iqzmohammed Posted 20 June 2020 Posted 20 June 2020 Watford for me looked like the better side. We do lack physical strength though. Overhead kick in the middle of the box, during a corner. 🤔 Must say, the players are looking very lean. Come on lads...Bring on the next game
StriderHiryu Posted 20 June 2020 Posted 20 June 2020 The English Roberto Carlos: Who just like Roberto Carlos, isn't the best at defending! Great goal though!
Tuna Posted 20 June 2020 Posted 20 June 2020 Gutted to concede after we thought the game was woe, Chilly's strike deserved to be a match winner. A draw however was probably the correct result. We weren't going to be world beaters on game one, hopefully we'll get back to our best against Brighton. Lots of players off it today, room to improve, some positives, thought Gray had a decent impact when he came on.
fox_up_north Posted 20 June 2020 Posted 20 June 2020 Not too annoyed really. First game back, against Nige and a resurgent Watford. Losing it would have sent out a big flashing beacon that we could lose our spot. Some good stuff, some rubbish stuff. If it had been before Covid I'd have been a bit more miffed but it is what it is.
TheSomersetFox Posted 20 June 2020 Posted 20 June 2020 Why couldn't it just have ended 0-0. **** sake
enmac Posted 20 June 2020 Posted 20 June 2020 Good results so far. With our superior goal difference Man U need to get 3 more wins and a draw better than us with 8 games left. Highly unlikely.

My Dad couldn't wait to phone me up and say just that - miserable old sod! Next time I'll accuse him of confirmation bias.
Tielemans63 Posted 20 June 2020 Posted 20 June 2020 Wish people would stop saying 'fair result'. When you take the lead in the last minute and still don't win, it's a poor result. What's fair shouldn't come into it when you score so late on.
Dr The Singh Posted 20 June 2020 Posted 20 June 2020 Felt like a loss with 5 mins to hold on. Fair result

EastAnglianFox Posted 20 June 2020 Posted 20 June 2020 Brighton have some big lads don't they? I worry about us on set pieces

It's basically the same material as the 'ever obliging Leicester City' stuff. It only exists when it happens, never noticed the countless times it doesn't.

I'll go for the former I'd pretty much go along with that, though I might be a tad more critical of the midfielders and Chilwell. All very understandable given the circumstances though, and I actually thought we looked sharper than some sides have. We shouldn't get too down.

Looked laboured with every touch, gave the ball countless amount of times (including his 50 head that went out for the corner we conceded from) and gave away a lot of needless freekicks. His worst performance of the season. Understandable given the circumstances of course, but he needs to improve.

Deeg67 Posted 20 June 2020 Posted 20 June 2020 Terrible way to lose 3 points (hell of a finish by Dawson, to give him credit) but that was pretty much what we deserved.
StanSP Posted 20 June 2020 Author Posted 20 June 2020 Wow as if i've seen Ndidi described as diabolical. No-one was that bad.
hejammy Posted 20 June 2020 Posted 20 June 2020 Need Arsenal to do us a favour and give Brighton a hiding here. Please don't give them some hope!
