The People's Hero Posted 28 December 2020 Posted 28 December 2020 Just now, Manini said: At what minute are we saying palace will score then? I’ll go 83rd minute, leaving just enough time for us to completely shit bricks and finally bring Vardy on to try and rescue something. Do it at half time Brendan don’t let this get away from us! I was thinking 83rd minute but can't decide between Zaha, Benteke or Schlupp. Either way, 83 is the boy.
Pliskin Posted 28 December 2020 Posted 28 December 2020 Pretty much a walk in the park first half. Have to do something about the second striking options, Kalechi has no confidence at all and is essentially costing us at the moment......

And we won’t be able to break them down if they get ahead. iheanacho just isn’t up to it Nachos is better as part of a two upfront. He likes to play one twos. He needs either Barnes or Perez to play more centrally near him.
StriderHiryu Posted 28 December 2020 Author Posted 28 December 2020 Totally dominating the game, just a shame we have nothing to show for it. Been impressed by Thomas, Mendy and Big Dan Amartey! Our forwards our lacking quality at the moment, not just for the penalty, but Praet blasted over, Nacho had another glancing header, etc. 0-0 would be so frustrating given how the match has gone. Might be another game for 30 minutes of Vardy time?

Nod.E Posted 28 December 2020 Posted 28 December 2020 We're so much better than them and it shows. As long as they don't snatch one on the counter, we'll score eventually and win. I know it must be hard for Kelechi to come in to the starting 11 with limited game time, but Jesus that half was poor from him. Penalty aside (which was awful by the way), if he's not able to take headed chances like that one, he shouldn't be playing. His primary function as the lone striker is to tuck away those chances. Pretty criminal, really.

Corky Posted 28 December 2020 Posted 28 December 2020 Iheanacho can't really complain about a lack of opportunities to play if he's missing great chances, we need a better back-up to Vardy. Plenty on the bench to convert the play into chances and goals. 1

OadbyBlue Posted 28 December 2020 Posted 28 December 2020 Perez, Barnes and JJ looking a class above the rest of this lineup, Choudhury done ok too tbf
SheppyFox Posted 28 December 2020 Posted 28 December 2020 I’m happy with this, our B team is looking strong against a respectable Premier League A team. We’re creating a tonne of chances, I’m confident we’ll win this comfortably. 1
PhillippaT Posted 28 December 2020 Posted 28 December 2020 No Wendy's - we need the Baconator, dammit, not the Chicken!
Fox85 Posted 28 December 2020 Posted 28 December 2020 I dont blame ianacho for that miss it happens. He is a very good player but he needs confidence feom the manager now. Good first half but I feel Vardy would of had a hatrick and could of been taken off at half time

Perhaps, but people also know Vardy isnt getting any younger. I have confidence that we would find a balance thats better then what we currently have in nacho.
nnfox Posted 28 December 2020 Posted 28 December 2020 I was so hoping for Iheanacho to have a good game. Started ok, some decent touches but that penalty was nonsense and his head has gone. Still belive there is a player in there, but his confidence is brittle as.
Nalis Posted 28 December 2020 Posted 28 December 2020 I get we're the lowest billing of the three games today but this panel is awful.

Haywood_6 Posted 28 December 2020 Posted 28 December 2020 It's our reserves. 0-0 actually isn't that bad but we were in complete control and should be in front.
Bazly Posted 28 December 2020 Posted 28 December 2020 This game has a draw written all over it unless the personnel change.

Zear0 Posted 28 December 2020 Posted 28 December 2020 Very pretty performance but not very effective. This is similar to the love-in yesterday that Liverpool got for all their passes complete. Great, 2 shots on target and one was that penalty. Palace have been abysmal and we need to capitalise on this. We don't play until Sunday so put more creative players on in the middle to give the forwards a chance as nothing is being created centrally.

Bet that would have seen his confidence soar! I can assure you Iheanacho can’t hear me typing out criticism to a shit penalty. He may have heard the collective groan from the shire as we all saw him step up though. 3
