adam Posted 30 April 2021 Posted 30 April 2021 Very poor night. Maddison completely missing again when he is needed to make a difference. Vardy crap as well. 1 2

Tom12345 Posted 30 April 2021 Posted 30 April 2021 Castagne very poor today. Gave away the freekick that led to the penalty. Crosses were poor. Kept passing backwards. Vardy clearly lacking confidence at the moment. Not sure why we kept Ndidi on when we needed some one who can hit a shot and we don’t need defenders. Maddison a bit invisible. Not sure why all the short corners. Most are wasteful. Rodgers is probably happy with the “control” but I think we lack urgency and were too slow.

Didn’t make alot of difference as we still had defensive minded players providing the width all game. Wheres Ricardo? Why not give Under a chance? Surely better options to provide or create an opening through direct running than Albrighton, Thomas and Castagne when desperately need a goal. 1
Sunbury Fox Posted 30 April 2021 Posted 30 April 2021 Tonight showed the paucity of our wide attacking options. They defended in a deep central block and forced us wide and we had no quality coming from either flank.

Even Newcastle will fancy their chances. We were shite for large parts against Palace and same tonight. Tiredness could be playing a part as we have played so many more games recently than Palace and Southampton but that performance was so disappointing. The goal we conceded was pathetic defending from Castagne and then stupidity from Iheanacho and then we just didn't do enough to win the game. Really poor against a poor side with nothing to play for

Guest ttfn Posted 30 April 2021 Posted 30 April 2021 That was a frustrating experience, summed up by getting 1 minute and 6 seconds of the ball in play in injury time. But you’ve got to say fair play to Southampton. A big part of the 9-0 last season was that they didn’t adapt to going down to 10 men properly and left huge spaces for us to play into. Today they were resolute defensively despite losing a man even earlier and far smarter tactically. Well done to them, I’m sure that’s helped banish a few demons - Walker-Peters and Salisu were particularly good for them. For us there were no stand out performers other than Tielemans who once again looked like a man amongst boys. He seemed like the only one capable of passing the ball reliably. Maddison yet again was poor, he has six good weeks a season, generally the only six weeks he’s fully fit. And anybody not worried about Vardy’s form at this point is kidding themselves. But in the cold light of day it’s going to be seen as another point closer to getting in the top 4 and that’s something we all would have jumped at at the start of the season.
Dr The Singh Posted 30 April 2021 Posted 30 April 2021 IF we think we are top 4. They were not that. Brendan is this super manager, that was not that
Shamomoa Posted 30 April 2021 Posted 30 April 2021 Disappointing but trying to be positive, over the 2 recent games against Southampton id rather have beaten them in the fa cup semi final and taken a draw in the league than the other way round, we can still get top 4 lads don't worry, the performances need to pick up though! Deffinately need a win against Newcastle next! 1
goose2010 Posted 30 April 2021 Posted 30 April 2021 Just now, HitchinFox said: Against a decent team, a draw at this stage of the season, in our situation, would've been ok. A 10-man Southampton, though... A 10 man Southampton is probably harder to beat than an 11 man Southampton. They set up to have a go and as soon as they lost their man it was always going to be difficult. Big performers didn't show up though. 3
South Shire Fox Posted 30 April 2021 Posted 30 April 2021 (edited) The way we performed against 10 men i honestly dont think we deserved anything. We were absolutley ****ing garbage, generally felt like the whole team had been that inspired by Fofana that they decided to fast themselves. Cant blame anyone but ourselves for that, we kept giving away stupid freekicks and letting them slow the game now and they milked it as any team would. Didnt feel for one instance in the last 10 minutes that we were going to knick that, just a complete lack of quality and composure. So so dissapointing, they are the games you have to put to bed if you want Champions league. Edited 30 April 2021 by South Shire Fox
CloudFox Posted 30 April 2021 Posted 30 April 2021 Really poor performance. No urgency from start to finish, aside from the bit leading to our equaliser. Frustrating that everyone bar Evans was sub-par tonight. I'm getting quite worried about Vardy. He's looking more and more like he's been space jam'd. Weird moments where he makes odd decisions or ties himself up in knots. Oh well, fair play Saints, you did a number on us and fought well. On to the next game eh...

Bearing in mind Southampton nearly scored with eleven I think we lose without the red. But last season we would have lost. And another point closer. Thank you. Best way to think about it. I get so angered when we lose!

Always Next Year Posted 30 April 2021 Posted 30 April 2021 Same old problem to slow to get the ball forward, no crossing into the box until the last 10 min of the game.

southfox66 Posted 30 April 2021 Posted 30 April 2021 We win next week, I think we'll have enough points to get champions league spot, no need to panic yet :)

The Guvnor Posted 30 April 2021 Posted 30 April 2021 We had enough chances but our finishing was diarrhea.
Guest Col city fan Posted 30 April 2021 Posted 30 April 2021 I know it’s a point and I know we are where we are in the league, but I still feel it’s a big chance blown there The red card was so early we really should have gone on to win that game tonight
