I hope I'm wrong but this is starting to have similarities with the Peter Taylor reign.

Mate have a word with yourself. We are battling for a champions league place. This is an embarrassing comment

[Sol thewall Bamba]

We are worse bottlers than Spurs. We can never mock them again.

Top 4 no chance.  Thank god we’re not going down.  Think we need a major overhaul this summer - I despise Chilwell

He was one of our best players again today.

[RoboFox]

Probably a 10 minute spell of real football in the second half, apart from that we were stinking up Goodison Park. No wonder there was no f**king crowd.

 

Yes, he's not getting the service he deserves - but even so - Vardy has been absolute passenger since the restart. Needs a slap.

 

We can kiss goodbye to the Champions League, and that is f**king gutting. I'm really pissed off at the team for ruining it for me.

 

[kingfox]

Iheanacho the only positive from that performance.

 

Better second half but still a loss.

 

Chilwell was useless again, Justin turned into the second coming of Michael Lamey and Maddison might as well join Leicester Tigers as a Fly-Half.

 

Next game though we definitely need to change formation, two up front, fvck playing wingers.

Don’t be stupid we battered them in 2nd half ! They hung on 

 

 

Battered them?

 

we had nothing to lose and they sat back.

 

when they was going for it they scored two goals in 15 mins then closed shop.

 

job done

I wouldn't play Vardy. Kelechi is a better option right now.

Vardy as impact sub

[Chester Dontlie]

We were too pedestrian in their final third. Chils, Madders or Youri look like they have ages to pass the ball around to the side and back but it's only a 90 minutes game. Chess-like slow...

So many players are out of form this year, I wonder what's the reason behind it. Even after the covid break we’re still looking like we’re having fitness issues...

A couple of our regular starters need to be dropped for a game or two.

Madders was piss poor, at times he forgot how to complete the simplest of passes. Rick is sorely missed, but we should be expecting a bit more from Justin.

Next game I'd start Nacho together with Vards upfront. We should risk more for fuchssake, stop with this casual pass to the side shit. I can feel the European cups slowly slipping away

[KingsX]

 

footnote: Keane has probably moved top of the League in clearances on his 20 or so tonight  

[StanSP]

We shouldn't be going 4 3 3 on Saturday. It doesn't work and far too easy to defend against, especially against a Palace side that won't get out of first or second gear managing that. 

 

Maybe 4 4 2 is better. Gray and Barnes/Albrighton and Iheanacho and Vardy up front. 

 

Vardy has to have support. Can't have him on his own against a side like Palace. Just will not work.

Very very interesting use of the word battling. 

[Dr The Singh]

Weak squad

Tactically inept

Lack confidence

 

= Mid table 

[Wakeyfox]

Got to play nacho and vardy up top with madderz behind. 

 

3 at the back. 

 

Pray Palace are worse than us on Saturday 

[hejammy]

Mistake he made was playing Barnes and Vardy. He's not got the balls to drop Vardy that's the problem. Both the above needed dropping. Anyone defending Vardy with the usual "no service" can do one, look at Nacho when he came on, was more involved in 10 mins than Vardy was the whole game. I may love the man but enough is enough, at the moment he isn't good enough and actually is ruining our team alongside the non existant Barnes

1. Barnes is the future... yet why fors it take 6 games for him to get going.  Does he play better when chilly isn't on,?

2. When we have possession and csnt break them down then right and left backs have to get round the back.ricardo is great... chilly us slow to edge fwd.

3. We need to mix it up and shit the ball faster.

 

Both Chilwell and Barnes play better when the other isn't playing

[Le Renard]

Oh well I'm going back into lockdown.  Don't want to watch us anymore, it has stop being enjoyable!  Sometimes I think it is best to be a mid-table team with nothing to play for, I can then relax and stop being a grumpy arse to my family for the next few hours/days or maybe weeks at this rate!  All I want is for Rodgers to stop giving his usual sunny uplands speech and tell us fans how it is.

Chilwell basically had nobody in front of him. All game. Don't ever play Barnes in front of him again because he offers Chilwell fvck all.

 

It's the managers fault we're passing back with 7 seconds left. They were all doing it.

You never pass back with 7 seconds left mate

[tickler28]

Do you know what summed that match up.....Chilwell passing it back to Soyuncu at the end....all I saw Chilwell do is either check back and pass it to someone or hoof it aimlessly.....take the money from Chelsea spend it on a decent midfielder and play Fuchs

OUR SECOND BEST EVER SEASON MATE.

 

REMEMBER WHEN WE THOUGHT STEARMAN WAS GONNA BE WORLD CLASS.

 

BE HAPPY WE'VE WON ONCE IN ABOUT 7 GAMES.

[Wymsey]

It felt like the first half was Puel-esque, and the second was both Puel-esque (slow and backwards football) and Rodgers-esque (very good substitutions at the right time).

 

It's weird as this team certainly has the talent, but Rodgers isn't using them well - it seems..

[ronnup]

Vardy needs dropping 

[Tom12345]

From the match thread: yes those pundits are always smoking. Not having a go at Maddison (he did well this match), but those pundits were saying how Maddison was “so creative” in the first half of the season when he was introduced - he barely had an assist then.

I thought we deserved a point, the penalty, was unfortunate, we had just as good a shout down their end that VAR didn't even look at. second half was the best we've played since the lockdown. Anyone blaming Chilwell doesn't know what they're talking about.

The VAR inconsistency confuses me. Coleman makes his body bigger because of where his hand is, and that stops the ball. Why is that not a hand ball if VAR looks at it?

Is there anyone who hasn't outcoached BR in the past 6 months? Potter did it last week, Lampard too.

I think here lies the problem. Weve all said our squad is limited but our starting 11 is better than Everton, Watford, Brighton and many other teams weve failed to beat since xmas. Of course we wont win every game but to keep dropping points to teams outside the top 6/7 is not good enough. Rodgers seems to be clueless in how to change things. Ricardo is a big loss but still should not be a reason why we are constantly dropping points to average/shit teams.
