Burnley 1-1 LCFC - Post Match Thread

Take that, move.on. stopped the rot.

 

Normally I'd take win or lose when we're level towards the end. All or nothing, and points wise it would be worth the risk, but needed to not lose today.

Well, it was a rather flaccid display.

Because we were utter dogshit against a mid-table Arsenal and were nearly as bad against Burnley. 

 

Fvcking Burnley.

Well yeah on paper. But it's not like we're losing consistently are we?

 

I swear some people are so short-sighted and either choose to ignore the big picture or just can't see it. 

[Aus Fox 9,057]

Positives: 

Kasper world class again tonight

brilliant goal from Iheanacho, will do his confidence the world of good.

Fofana back from injury 

50 points on the board

 

It’s not all doom and gloom, after Arsenal and Prague it was vital not to loose that game and we didn’t.

 

Against Brighton play the team that finished the game here.

If we can get to the international break with a 6 point buffer over 5th, we’re in a great position.

[rachhere 1,961]

That could have gone horrifically wrong. Once we went down to the early goal a draw was always going to be a good result. Hopefully this will turn the tide for us now.

Riddled with injuries and poor/negative team selections isn't helping.

 

Why does vardy always get a pass??? The guy looks ****ed atm.

 

Choudary single Handley cost us champions league football 

 

HAHAHAHA 

[Vazman 151]

Fair result, was a hard watch, Really baffling Subs, Kasper some great saves, least we didnt lose, we go forward...

[Ashley 4,115]

Good point. We need to win Saturday though.

News flash no single player costs a team anything, this isn't a solo sport.

[Sunbury Fox 1,763]

In the history of football has there ever been a top flight team worse at defending and attacking set pieces than this current Leicester team? I'm literally in bits every time the opposition get a corner or free kick. Meantime, we haven't scored direct from a corner since November 2019. 

[Frost 506]

Lucky to get a point - Kasper saved us more than once.

 

Soyuncu and Hamza were both horrendous, the latter needs to leave.

 

That 3/5 at the back was a disaster, not sure why it took BR so long to change it.

I'll take the point, I fully expected a defeat - even more so when we let one in like that. People going on about bottle and cojones - find a new script, yours is cliched, tired and probably entirely inaccurate.

If it was like some make out we'd have folded when Hamza gave them the goal. 

[Legend_in_blue 1,769]

We looked sharper in the final 15 minutes at least.  That's a positive.  No injuries.  A point is not a bad result and considering the next two games, we should be looking at another 6.

[Tom12345 1,321]

Poor selection and poor tactics. Starting with so many defensive players considering the lack of attacking players we have available was criminal. Hamza was too negative. Starting Nachos was great taking, him off was not. Hamza should not have played considering the rest of the team selection. No midfield linkup. Should have started with Tavares or Under. 

[Le Renard 214]

It is all about grinding out results until the international break and it is not going to be pretty!

[sdb 2,818]

Mediocre really but good to see the heads didn't drop after conceding so early. I thought we looked uncharacteristically blunt in their final third. Hate to single out players but Amartey and Hamza were honkingly bad.

[SO1 1,726]

I'll take it considering the injuries. Little Wes is back and bossing it. Tavares looking like a real player with serious attitude. A good day for me.

[HeskeyForever 9]

Played better than we did against Arsenal. 

 

Albrighton came on and played well I thought - we needed all the height we could get and was good to see us defend set pieces properly. 

 

Hopefully Fofana can start against Brighton and Ndidi can return to the middle, alongside Hamza getting absolutely nowhere near the bus. 

 

[KrefelderFox666 1,325]

Decent point, got Schmeichel to thank. Could easily have been 3/4-1 Burnley. Not a great performance but one more point.

 

Really need to get 2 wins now though before a tough April.

[Matt 4,881]

I’ll take a point given yet another poor performance to add to the past month but it just adds fuel to the fire likening it to last seasons drop off given the string of poor performances.

 

Not good enough.

Baffled by Rodgers subs sometimes..

 

1) How did Hamza survive 75 minutes?

2) Why does he always seem to sub Iheanacho off when he's playing well?

3) There is literally no excuse to play Amartey RB when Castagne and Ricardo are both on the pitch and Thomas is on the bench. Its a complete waste of a position as he adds nothing. 

 

Good job Kasper is World Class otherwise we lose that comfortably.. 

how does hamza get anywhere near the starting11. I cant see one thing he does well, totally useless

[martyn 1,641]

2nd half was a tough watch. Starting them slowly is becoming a common theme. The midfield was getting completely bypassed and the back 3 were collectively, and individually an absolute bombscare. We didn't have enough technical players or leaders on the pitch to manage the game and take the sting out of it. We're the kind of side who struggles to turn the tide of a game when it starts going against us.

Have we lost back to back league games this season? 

[Chester Dontlie 1,693]

Obviously one point is better than none but I was massively disappointed with our set up and negative tactics.

Taking off Nacho who scored and was full of energy while keeping dead tired and average (at best) Vards... Keeping Hamza who had a mare until last minutes.

Kasper MOTM for me, he saved us from embarassment.

Another 6? We are so negative and don’t play like a top side that we are striving for. Lucky to get two more draws at this rate.
