Napoli H Match Thread

[Lcfc-1992]

Don’t get why Perez, Daka and Iheanacho have switched positions. Perez and Iheanacho were playing well and Daka is always a threat behind

Living on a knife edge 

[LestaAl]

Agree we need another as we are being wasteful in the middle of the pitch and they are creating chances galore with indifferent finishing fortunately.

[FoxinNotts]

Just need to cut out poor passes. That’s it really. Very simple. 

[Switzfox]

Can't keep the ball.  Need Tielemans on asap to help the midfield out.  With bitg Ndid and Soumare on yellows as well, with this open attacking line up we are asking for trouble if we don't make a change.  One of the front 4 need to be hooked now.

[North Leeds Fox]

Under the cosh a lot, but good to get in still winning! What a game though. Being played at an unbelievable pace 

[Langston]

I've never been so confused by a half before in my life, we've looked nervy, loose, slow to release the ball forward - but we're winning?

 

Started very brightly but retreated after the goal. Barnes making some decent runs but just isn't getting it fed in front of him quickly (or often) enough.

[Kinowe Soorie]

I know that Perez has scored, but he’s been shocking.

I think so. Gets manoeuvred off the ball a bit easily. Lower body strength needs building. Tough game. He’ll grow. 

Why he turned inside for that last chance I don't know. Shown some glimmers though, happy with him

[DeepSouthFOX]

Appears that Hamza is out warming up during the break.  😂😂

[FoxesWalk]

We’ve been a bit lucky, lots of forced errors, but they’ve pressed us really well, felt like they had an extra line of players at times.

 

Daka has been taking up some weird positions almost like a CM, surely wasted there… 

 

Wouldnt mind seeing Vardy and Youri on 2nd half. 

[Vacamion]

 

It's clear that Napoli are quality.

 

We rode our luck, but we are ahead.

 

A few missed passes and soft giveaways as we attack, but overall, 

 

Ayoze Perez:  Play like this all the time and you'll get a statue, mate.

Ah yes the old rope a dope tactic rodgers has got this lads don't worry

[tickler28]

Christ we've been penned in....can't get it out of defence without giving it back to Napoli 🙈

[Webbo]

Soyunchu on early second half please.

[Scotch]

We can't keep playing it out from the back like this. Their press is forcing too many errors and eventually they will make it count. 

[jmono84]

Hot potato hot potato duh do do do!!

 

Some of our play is downright stupid but it’s entertaining. We’ve given the ball away countless times!

 

After Perez’ goal I’m trying to root for the guy but he has given the ball away more than anyone I think and that’s saying something in this game. Come on lad! You’ve scored so be confident and stop making backward passes or giving the ball away!

[Jonezy]

2nd best throughout apart from the score line. We are not really hitting our form yet this season.

 

We really struggle in the high press and make too many mistakes when trying to play fast. 

 

Oh well. Somehow we lead, but it has not been pretty.

I really do love this site  

[HighPeakFox]

Bookings for Ndidi and Soumare have caused us problems.

[lcfc_forever]

Napoli are an excellent side. Like someone said, there are worse sides in the Champions League. 
 

We’re doing well to stick with them, but we need to be better in possession, especially on the counter attack. 

[turlo]

thank f for that. good first 25 mins then started getting overran which will be the problem playing 2 strikers and 2 midfielders. need to stop pissing around at the back

Why?

[Shane]

Need to get Daka back upfront asap. He was setting the tempo for our high press & was making it difficult for them to pass into midfield. 
 

Since he’s been on the wing they have been building from the back and slicing through us.
