**** off Rodgers, this style of play isn't for us, tactically outclassed week after week

[SecretPro]

We are just shit I think

Loads of possession but only 3 shots and none on target, Rodgers can't be happy with this!

What did he expect we have two attacking players in there half in Vardy and Barnes

[Manini]

We’re an incredibly average, if not poor side. 

[lcfc cowboys]

Complacent is the problem they win a couple of trophies and they think they are in the big time those egos need to go know or will be ****ed over this season and In trouble

[Matt_Lcfc]

Have we actually won a second ball yet?

[Tom12345]

Clueless first half.

 

Day light robbery in terms of the penalty. Clearly a foul with the arm pull resulting in arm in air. Ridiculous the ref did not even consult the monitor.

 

Need KDH in the middle. Nacho needs to be on for Maddison. We need energy in the middle of the park.

I don't really see what anyone else would or could do up front though.

 

The issue is we don't go forward, we don't get the ball forward, we're scared to venture of the halfway line, that isn't Vardy or even Maddison (Who i'm not a fan off - but I have to stick up for him and any other forwards players in this instance) fault.

 

But we keep trying this negative football over and over and over and over and over and over and over again...and some people are still surprised by the outcome.

agreed it could be Mbappe up top and it wouldn't matter as fckall service

[katieakita]

playing poorly but this ref!! how can there possibly have only been 2 mins added on spent that sorting out the dodgy pen never mind the injury.

 

[Farrington fox]

Has to make changes. 

[Will1981]

get Nacho and Daka on for Tielemans and Maddison

[sdb]

They're decent enough. We're shit. The officials are appalling. Not enjoying it.

[foxes_rule1978]

Doesn’t matter how good Tielemans is, if he can’t be arsed then he needs to be out the side. 

[HybridFox]

Whatever the decision of the penalty, we've been dogsh** again. Quite lucky to only be 1-0 down 

[CrispinLA in Texas]

What are we doing wrong? what are we missing? Is it Midfield? 

[JonnyBoy]

Penalty or not, we are hideous today. Tielemans and Maddison both need to be dropped they don't look arsed and they are playing the worst I have seen them play. Bring on KDH and Lookman or something

[Le Renard]

We just look bereft of ideas on the pitch and Rodgers needs to live up to his so called reputation as top level manager!

[KFS]

Barnes, Maddison, Tielemans ****ing shit.

 

Ndidi is being ruined by Rodgers and if that’s a  ****ing penalty this game is more in the pits than I thought.

 

Awful half.

[honeybradger]

Just now, StriderHiryu said:

Yeah agree, he's been the worst player on the pitch.

 

Soumare not done much either though, For the 433 to work both those two need to have good games, neither one is.

We're not playing a 433! We're playing a 4231 with soumare wasted further up the pitch, absolutely baffling tactics from rodgers recently

 Maddison can barely play CAM right now so lets stick him in a position where he isnt familiar with

The bench

[Pliskin]

Worst half of football since West Ham. Penalty incident aside, we’ve been awful, we currently look awful. Brendan has got a real job on his hands at the moment to get these guys going, the movement off the ball is championship, the passing is sloppy and inaccurate, the attacking threat is not there, and we don’t look like a team at all. 
 

Maddison isn’t fit, he needs to have this issue looked at and given some time out of the side. 
 

Sort it out lads, we’re better than this. 

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

Wasn’t VAR supposed to make idiotic decisions a thing of the past? Absolute joke, and he didn’t even look at the monitor! 

[Stadt]

We play so short and with our personnel we can’t really go any longer. Iheanacho gives us more options because he can hold the ball up and bring others into play.
