Some great Bruce ball here but the injury faining to waste time 

ffs

Klopp did moan about it the other day and it’s looking right.

It's like last season only it's two versions of Newcastle, rather than usual Newcastle v good Leicester. Injury every 10 seconds. Nothing created.

 

Awful half. Nobody who supports neither of these two is still watching this.

[Vacamion]

 

Why kick that one out?

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. 

He doesn't need to play it deep, into the 6 yard box, into vardys run. It's quite simple, vardy has made that run over and over again yet Kevin waits to get closed down

Need to swap Justin and Castagne around. Castagne really loses his attacking threat on the left, and I think he could get some joy down the Newcastle left today.

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? 

The part where you said we look dreadful - I see you left it out this time, but this was the part which was very wrong.

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.

For whatever reason @Muzzy_Larsson, he doesn’t seem to fancy him. Like you though, I think this game suits Under.

Fofana is so composed for his age, our best player today I think

They are sitting very deep but we need to move it quicker and get full backs pushed up. Cant score passing it slowly between the centre halves 

[Cropwellfox]

We are never going to score a set piece again 😂

[Fox in the North]

If we had someone who could head a corner...

[Staff]

Much better corner

Yeah. Thankfully though it’s coincided with our defenders not being able to jump so don’t worry we won’t be scoring  

It's been that long since we had corners flighted to the penalty spot, they've evolved away from jumping

[trabuch]

That goal from a corner is coming. I swear it!

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.

Their front 3 are playing a high press but behind that the rest are playing deep. Agree about the passing though.

 

My frustration is that this is another game where the opposition manager is happy to concede set pieces because we're pathetic at them. 

[moore_94]

I actually think Madders corners have been good this game

Depressingly it should be more.

[StanSP]

Unlucky from Fofana there. Nice corner from Maddison. 

[kiwiturk]

Perfect assesment for the game actually comes from the Malaysian sports channel Astro.

Their commentator said The Liecester displaying predictable and usual game plan.

Even Malaysians got it.

Three great corners from Maddison on the right now. One half poor  effort to show for it.

[hejammy]

To be honest I thought Fofana would be so much better at heading than he his after his first game for us. 

[adam]

Youri really is wasted playing so deep.

[daddylonglegs]

Chance to go a point off top??? Put some pressure on??? Nahhhhh
