To be fair I think Hamza was only brought on because Madders was getting completed tw*ted by them dirty bast*rds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vinny1966 8 Posted 18 February Report Share Posted 18 February Terrible central european team with no desire to play football other than physical challenges and dirty play, we should murder them at home! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post ALC Fox 1,507 Posted 18 February Popular Post Report Share Posted 18 February (edited) I actually weirdly enjoyed that. What a scrap that was. Some of those boys will be able to hold their heads up high, especially Thomas coming up against their main man Sima directly. Thank goodness we have some warriors in our team as well, like Cags, Evans, Amartey, Ndidi, Barnes, Albrighton and Vardy. A softer team would've crumbled, especially with all the little tricks of the trade and dark arts going on. I thought Barnes was our best player. He was always looking to get things going. But a special mention has to go to Choudhury. It looked like he really relished that kind of scrap against such a hardworking side, putting in the kind of tackles that Slavia were doing all game, getting in their heads with the shush gesture after their guy screamed following a robust but fair challenge. And that cross. Wow. It was practically on a plate for Iheanacho. I love watching these kinds of games. Less so when Leicester are involved as it's nervy as fvck but it was scrappy and passionate and we fought hard for that European away 0-0 draw. On to the KP where hopefully we can express ourselves a bit more. One further thing. Cengiz needs to start taking his opportunities soon as they're running out fast.

Guest 1,758 Posted 18 February Report Share Posted 18 February Crap performance on a crap pitch against crap opposition, all overseen by a ref whose pre-match routine must include pounding down a frankly insane cocktail of drugs. Didn't concede or pick up any injuries (as far as I could tell, anyway) so not going to worry about it too much and we really ought to turn them over at home. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fox_favourite 478 Posted 18 February Report Share Posted 18 February Awful officials for today's game. Very poor. No consistency of decisions and apparently rugby tackling and being pushed is allowed. Ah well, not a bad result in the end. Not our best performance, especially in the second half. But there is still 90minutes and I think we can take these. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TJB-fox 2,784 Posted 18 February Report Share Posted 18 February 10 minutes ago, jammie82uk said: Have they? Can’t people think that both things can be true? For me The ref was poor today, some of the “fouls” given was verging on the ridiculous, the opposition only got 1 yellow in the game despite the multiple fouls on Barnes, despite all the fouls and the rugby tackle on Maddison and yes We were poor today and there was no real improvement on the dire performance from Saturday Read some of the comments in here and in the match thread. All about the ref and not about us being totally lacklustre. His issue was that he was being incredibly inconsistent with yellows /fouls and that isn’t the reason we didn’t win the game. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sunbury Fox 1,761 Posted 18 February Report Share Posted 18 February 11 minutes ago, UpTheLeagueFox said: Rodgers has just told the press conference that Castagne and Ricardo should be okay for Sunday vs Villa Also... "We've been good at home in Europe so will attack the second leg." Wish we'd "attacked" tonight's game a bit more so we could have finished it off and rested key players for the return leg. We basically set up not to lose. I do wonder if we might see an increasing number of attritional performances over the next few months. Due to the injury situation we're flogging the same players over and again, with limited options to rotate. As a result, tiredness will creep in and we're going to have to grind out results. Performances over the past few weeks haven't be great - yes, I know we beat Liverpool thanks to a late flurry but for 80% of the game we struggled to get our passing going at all. It was the same against Leeds, Wolves and Brighton in the cup. Desperately need to get Ric and Timmy back and fully firing as the full backs play a crucial role in the way we attack. Anyway, at least we didn't lose. On to the next. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Can't wait to get these bunch of crying drama queens back to the KP. Embarrassing, offered nothing 2nd half except to break up rhythm, and the ref obliged. isn't it the same officials?

baldeagle 1,729 Posted 18 February Report Share Posted 18 February 14 minutes ago, FoxyJim1987 said: Sorry can you explain how he got it wrong? What team would you have picked then with all the injuries? We drew and got a clean sheet in away leg it's hardly a disaster. Plus the ref was a grade A cvnt Yes certainly whilst I understand we were limited with injuries he started with 4 at the back to which they were all over us so he had to change formation so he got the initial formation wrong . We were second to nearly every single ball which it largely down to players being tired so we should have started with a few pairs of fresher legs in the side so yet again he got it wrong . Everyone is moaning about the pitch which yes it wasn’t great but he clearly insisted on us still trying to play out at the back and putting ourselves under more pressure . Why did he not see this and tell them to adapt their play . Get the ball forward quicker stop trying to pass out from the back which was playing straight in to their hands . Why did he not make the subs sooner we could all see they needed to be done we were hanging on and treading water . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foxy boxing 770 Posted 18 February Report Share Posted 18 February I thought he would have made more changes with the Villa game in mind and maybe rested Vardy but obviously he really wanted to get a good start in the tie. They did look dangerous at times and we did seem to defend too much. Didn’t really give Vardy enough chances. So could in hindsight have rested him. The tie could still go either way and we will really need to be switched on in the second leg Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Marshall Cockney Fox 933 Posted 18 February Report Share Posted 18 February It was poor that. We seemed to lose the midfield battle for the majority of the 2nd half. We had chances, but didn't manage to convert them. But assuming Youri, Madders & Wilf turn up for the 2nd leg, we should have these comfortably. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
