LCFC vs Slavia Prague (2nd Leg) - Match Thread - 25/02/2021

Cant blame Hamza for attempting a bit of shithousing back

[fox_favourite 478]

This is such a bad game. We haven’t got any spark up front.

[Ian Nacho 4,102]

In a game and a half there’s been zero quality from either side.

If Maddison is out for any great length of time I’m officially worried. 

Although in saying that, Barnes nor Ricardo are on the pitch.

Tielemans does not work in the Maddison role. 

Tielemans is perfectly capable of doing that job, the problem is that he doesn’t have Youri Tielemans feeding him.

[hejammy 1,675]

I can't beleive Amartey is one of our "survivors" from 15/16. He's not good enough this team. 

[Costock_Fox 12,047]

Decent half lads, more of the same needed.

[Ecdysiast 509]

why the hate for hamza? he's been good....

[LanguedocFox 659]

Seems too obvious to say, but we need to up our tempo. When we do we’re the match for anyone.

[Cardiff_Fox 6,515]

As it stands, I don’t think we particularly deserve to go through. They’ve done us in desire and tactics for a game and half now 

[Corky 14,453]

Shocking dive from Choudhury, pathetic.

[SecretPro 3,360]

Simple fact is poor team selection has done us. You start your strongest team, get the job done early, then rest. You do not start your weakest team. We have Ricardo, Tim and Barnes all on the bench. Madness.

[jmono84 516]

Prague are ultra defensive and we’ve put out a very weakened/out of form/lack of game time attack. I fully expected this.

 

They’re very poor so I hope we don’t get knocked out by this shower of shite.

 

Up the pace boys and we’ll crack these!

[shen 2,121]

Choudhury and Amartey off for Ricardo/Castagne and Barnes please. Move Tielemans back, Ünder central and Albrighton right.

This is on rodgers for not starting one of ricardo/castagne, we knew we didnt have enough to break them down without 2 attacking fullbacks from the first game.

[LCFCbwoi 153]

Hope it’s just part of his game plan to not start Barnes/Ricardo/, and he actually gets one of them on near enough straight away. 
 

Albrighton or Under off for either one of them is needed, and get Tielemans out of CAM. He needs to be dictating play and we’d look so much better 

[leicesterseddon 474]

Advantage Slavia Prague really. We’ve been pretty poor tbh.

 

Choudhury needs to take more responsibility and start presenting for the ball. Feel like he’s just hiding and letting the game pass him by. 
 

Under also been very disappointing. Taking a leaf out of Gray’s book when it comes to decision-making

[RowlattsFox 2,634]

I know this gets said a lot but it really was the worst half I've seen for a while. Benefits of the doubt with the injuries and limited options but those out there haven't been good enough.

 

Need a focal point up front and Vardy doesn't offer that. Would rather have Choudhury at 10 just to get Tielemans deeper to control the game. 

 

Bizarre not to have one of Castagne or Ricardo at right back, I'd be amazed if one of them don't come on at half time.

He’s only survived because he’s been injured for most of the time

[TK95 2,563]

135 minutes of football without their keeper breaking sweat

Are we guilty of complacency, here?

 

Premier League egos starting to show a bit?

 

They seem to think collectively they can beat this lot at a canter.

Under skinned the fullback in the first 5 mins, we haven't managed to give him the ball again in that position again.

 

Not put them under any pressure.

Amartey is not offering any support, and the rest of the midfield is ineffective, passing backwards all the time. What is Rodgers thinking with so many defensive players on the pitch. Ndidi is the only one who has played well this game. Hamza offers nothing going forward and Tielemans is too far away from the action.

What a weird BT ad 😲

We HAVE to bring youri back to CM. The CB's are looking for that pass into centre midfield and Ndidi and Choudhury are not that type of player. Or they'll lose it.

 

We look devoid of ideas simply cos we can't bring the ball out from the back. 

 

If we don't make that change this poor performance will continue

 

 

All true, but it's in Brendans contract that he can't make subs until 60 minutes. (Hope I'm wrong)
