I'm sorry to labour the point but I can't stand watching Albrighton receive the ball and just cross it to nobody anymore. Fvcking horrible and so predictable.

 

I just sigh whenever we pass it out to him in space.

Normal issue slow and preditable on the ball, front players unable to string a set of pass together.

I think we’re watching different games here, some of the whinging today, have a little patience.

I agree! We've been the better team by far. People expect us to be Barcelona like every game? Crazy

[Sly]

Tielemans trying a Zidane from a corner ..... if only he was that good!

Under on for Albrighton 

79th minute sub.

[Staff]

Why doesn't Albrighton just ****ing cross it when he gets it? They give him so much space and time because they know he is well out if his depth, takes 3 extra touches and gets closed down 

[Tielemans63]

The frustration is that in a game like this, set plays will be key and we're wank at them.

[whoareyaaa]

looks like a serpent Almaron does

[Leicester_Loyal]

Our corners are unacceptable quite frankly.

[Pliskin]

Been pretty shite this. 

[lgfualol]

Knew that Tielemans shot would fly over. This team is too predictable, sub or 2 at half time Brendan.

[IsItMuzzy]

We are absolutely hopeless at corners

[bfox]

Marc needs hooking. Must be the most predictable player in the league going forward. Proper kick up the arse job at half time.. fed up of this laboured patient build up shit

We’ve had one shot, if I’m not mistaken 

[lcfc cowboys]

awful

[justfoxes]

I always think Almeron looks like that ventriloquist dummy from Goosebumps!!

I don't think the criticism of our lads is very fair, bloody hard to play against an ultra low block. Newcastle are set up precisely to stop us creating chances so it's hardly a surprise that we've not created many opportunities. Every time the ball is in their half they have 7 or 8 players back and 5 in the line.

It's not a low block though, they're pressing us high up the pitch and we're to slow to pass around it when we get the ball allowing them to regain defensive shape.

Yep mate 

Not super encouraged so far. What do you think?

Sorry, which part about me saying Ndidi held on to the ball standing still for ages because none of his team mates did anything but stand about was incorrect? 

[Sly]

Great run by Barnes. He should have played Vardy in.

I feel the opposition are more likely to score from our corners than us

Because there were no players in the box if he gets it that deep. Easy ones for keeper to collect if there's none of our players attacking it. 

[Muzzy_Larsson]

Started the match well and looked dangerous, felt out it a bit as the half has went on though. Hopefully up the tempo in the second-half as get the feeling the game is there for the taking.

 

Why Rodgers reluctance to use Under btw? This game is screaming out for someone who can commit Newcastle defenders.

[Bazly]

Its not that surprising we haven't scored - zero shots on target = no chance
