Leicester 2-Burnley 2 post match thread.

[Chrysalis]

Missed most of the game so not much for me to comment on, tuned in last 10 minutes or so where we looked on top until it was 2-2,  then it became end to end with Burnley almost winning it. At 2-2 most of our attacks ended with our own making from over hit passes.

Burnley ?  Not at a top six club ?  It will be West Ham or Man U

Burnley created very little as shown by the xG. We were our own worst enemies in that game. With a more assured defence, we easily win that game, even if the team is not yet firing on all cylinders offensively.

I didn't think Bertrand was all that bad. Vestergaard on the other hand was our worst player and it wasn't close.

Bertrand was much better than Ricardo, but is taking way more flack for some reason.

Bertrand is solid, I agree. It’s the

bombscare centre backs that’s the issue

Nacho can't even buy a start despite being one of our most inform player.

Who should he have played instead of today? Vardy?

Lookman the most threatening player on the day gets taken off.

He put a shift in today and was probably knackered. May even have been injured.

Evans plays 90 against milwall in league cup yet not today which is the more important fixture.

They’ll be managing his injury in the best way to get the best recovery.

KDH barely had any minutes at all so far stifling his development. If we're not going to use him best for him to be on loan playing week in week out.

Which of Tielemans, Ndidi and Soumaré do you think he should have played instead of today? He’ll get time on the pitch this season. And if he does well, he’ll get more next season.

Defence looks a shambles. Bertrand and Vestergaard have weakened it massively and Soyuncu needs Evans alongside him to Marshall him.

You talk as if a decision was taken to not play Fofana and replace him with Vestergaard! Who yes, is not as good as Fofana, but I think he’s a better centre back than Amartey. And all our centre backs play better with Evans - that’s because he’s both our best and our most experienced centre back. And I disagree about Bertrand.

Clear Rodgers doesn't know his best team or his best formation

It isn’t at all clear. And he won’t have a ‘best team’ or ‘best formation’ - he’s very much a horses for courses kind of manager.

[foxes_rule1978]

I’m positive with what I saw today, felt we responded well to going a goal down to a freak goal… poor defending cost us for the second but attack wise we looked to play faster and more direct, I think that is the way to go. Early season I’m not getting on Rodgers back after giving us two trophies and 5th place finishes, that is just wrong, 

[RowlattsFox]

Defence is giving us no foundations in a match at all.

Talksport have the rights to spunk over West Ham, expecially that tit Jim White. Prepare for all day slobbering, best tune in to Radio 3 to avoid radio being thrown out of the window.

Totally agree with this. We were more of a threat to ourselves than Burnley were. Shite defending and poor finishing. 

[LCFC_Iceland]

When was the last time we had 22 shots? Obviously we struggled in areas but to go 1 0 down 2 1 down and fight back showed good character.

 

it’s clear with the current back line there’s going to be turbulent times - I’ll take whatever points we can get right now. Vestergaard and Soyuncu are not complementary to each other but there’s really no other option at the moment.

You keep going a goal down it is tough against anyone, we need to go back to basics at the back. Hopefully we can get evans on because that is what we are missing someone who can take charge at the back.

What’s the verdict?

Lucky or unlucky to draw?

The verdict is, Big Dan needs to start

I’ve come to the conclusion that half the people on here don’t watch the games and just see the result. We weren’t awful or terrible at all, the tactics weren’t bad either, the subs were pretty good overall. 
 

We dominated them. The main concern from today is how much vestergaard looks out of his depth. On another day we win this comfortably, just wasnt meant to be today. 
 

Everybody needs to stop being so reactionary.

I question what game you were watching. We were toss. 

[FoxFossil]

Any U23 centre backs any good, and ready to step up?

[The Horse's Mouth]

Omd, can't believe I just saw the words dominate them, we just conceded 3 goals to Burnley and had to have VAR save us. Honestly as for Rodgers, pointless sacking him now should've been done when we had the chance to progress, our chance of that is nil now

 

[ARM1968]

Have to say on current showing Big Dan is superior to Vesty and should be picked ahead of him. Vesty seems to be the CB equivalent of Omonroyd - can’t fecking head the ball.

VAR decision was correct, guess we beat brighton 3-2 then

And the owners showed their ruthless streak; makes one wonder how much leeway they'll give to this manager.

This is the big problem, and that lack of confidence transmits throughout the whole team. Even at the end, even if Burnley's goal was offside, it was very close, and the situation dealt with badly.

 

You won't win many games by conceding 2 goals a match.

[coolhandfox]

Over reaction.

 

Another week we win that comfortably.

Quite a few of excuses and assumptions in there in my opinion amongst some excellent points too.

 

Vestergaard better than Amartey? Not from what I've seen. 

 

Lookman knackered? So were others judging by their performance. 

 

Rodgers playing horses for courses? Not from what I've seen. Today was different but got the impression he was forced into it. 

 

KDH not getting a chance because.. . OK, maybe but neither Youri and certainly not Wilf are ripping up trees. Soumare deserved his chance.
