Southampton Home 2019.

You mean under Puel. Jesus - yeah that was atrocious....but then Ricardo struggled that day too. 

[Webbo]

Not a bad half. Growing into it. 

 

Ps somebody tell Cags the barbers are open again. 

[TJB-fox]

If they score first and sit in we’re ****ed. We cant score for toffee

[Nicolo Barella]

Slow start, clearly the players are getting back into the rhythm of things. Important thing is that they pick up the tempo a little. West Brom pressed very high but for the most part we dealt fairly calmly with them. Barnes played decently I thought.

Comms have no idea, twisting the Rodgers quote. He was asked if we had the squad to challenge the top 4, not whether we can compete in league and europe.

Hmm. I thought the question was do you have the squad to compete in 4 competitions 

[nnfox]

Praet and Tielemans are the wrong way around.  Tielemans would have more of an impact further up the pitch.  Praet better helping the game tick over in a deeper position.

[sdb]

Is Harvey Barnes actually Jeff Schlupp?

 

Is James Justin really Ryan McGivern?

 

Is Dennis Praet Gareth Williams??

 

And is Brendan Rodgers the coaching mentor once sacked by Claude Puel for being too insipid and uninspiring?

Not playing in what is probably his best position though.

Yes, to be fair, you’re not wrong. 

 

I do think we need a proper left full back. 

[RowlattsFox]

Got better, bit of quality and we win this. Maddison the difference from the bench hopefully.

 

Perez offered nothing, Vardy the same as always unless he gets in behind, midfield grew into the game, Justin struggling at left back.

 

Not great but not disastrous either.

Don’t worry it’s coming....... the profit Barnes is on his way. 

0nly 299 shots to go and he will bag a goal

[Fox92]

Not a great half.

Barnes lacks finishing as usual.

[Katy]

It’s like last season never ended. Unsurprisingly. 

[coolhandfox]

Grew into it, move the ball well, Perez and Barnes still far to sloppy with first touch and poor shooting.

 

Any tell me what Praet offers....

[majaco]

You can see why teams use left-footed left backs.  That said, Justin is more secure than Thomas currently.  

 

We're missing N'didi in midfield.

 

Perhaps we need a new right winger.  It is not Perez's position.   

 

We are probably the better team though.

[jmono84]

I thought Praet made some nice touches and runs, he’s certainly the one making those forward runs, no easy when you have to get back in position when we lose possession. The guys playing well and on the whole other than a few shaky moments at the back we’ve looked the better team.

Justin is annoying me by not taking the ball on. He has space but stops and plays back. He hasn't committed any men and just puts pressure on his team mates. It's cowardly play and he needs to strap his balls back on. 

Perfect replacement for Chilwell then.

[Countryfox]

Could be two up so overall not bad ...    new guy looks ok ...  Ben who ???

[Max Power]

Growing into the game but still too passive Off the ball and conservative with it for my liking.

BR can go tomorrow for all I care, we’re no better now than we were under Puel, it’s just BR isn’t french so isn’t a victim of racially motivated criticism on FT. 

Maybe mix in some water between your drinks?

[StriderHiryu]

We have control of the game, and Tielemans and Soyuncu look a class above. But it's a bit of the classic Leicester city story from the last 3-4 years; we control the game but aren't good at turning that control into goals. This game once again shows that other than Vardy, we don't have enough players who know how to put the ball into the back of the net.

 

Still not the worst display I've seen. Wilf after a couple of poor passes even looks fairly assured at the back. JJ looks like a man who is going to get sent off though, I would put Fuchs on for the second half personally.

 

Really hope we can get all three points in the second half.

[majaco]

WBA marking Vardy out of the game trusting our other players not to score.

[Hammo]

Same old story. Missed chances. Vardy not in the game. Sloppiness at the back. Slow ponderous build up. Giving lousy opposition too much respect. Perez a bad joke.

 

Just wondering who is going to make the mistake that gifts West Brom the goal that wins the game.

Get Praet off for Madders. Praet anonymous.

He’s made a couple of good runs but I don’t know what he offers us.

[J.Lisemore]

Does Barnes purposely aim for the keeper? The amount of times he has the whole goal to aim at 

[Guest Fktf]

Praet is playing an odd role. He's closest to vardy, but also at times deep play making.
