LCFC vs. Palace Post-Match Thread

68% passing success says it all.

 

There in lies the problem and one of the biggest culprits is our chief creator Youri.

 

No wonder the defence is struggling when we're continually give the ball back to the opposition.

68% is unacceptable and youri is starting to make me wonder if his heads in the game with us atm i hate sounding like a bit of a nut but i'm starting to wonder if it's another marhez situation.

I think he's a solid pro and I don't think he'd down tools or give up on the club tbh. I don't really think Mahrez did in the manner people make out but he definitely does seem to have a diva streak all the same and I just don't think YT does. 

 

He just looks a bit off form, it happens, especially given confidence in the squad seems to be all over the place. 

 

Given he's been one of the busiest footballers in the world over the last two years he's also quite possibly a bit jaded. 

[RowlattsFox]

Said it numerous times, not just this season, but the front 4 (whoever plays, although Iheanacho has been better at this recently) are unable to hold the ball up and recycle possession. So many shit first touches, lack of movement or just generally bullied off the ball. 

 

Worrying this for me is the lack of energy we seem to have compared to other teams. Compare to Man City and Liverpool and their work rate off the ball is phenomenal. Not just the best either, Palace, Burnley and Brighton have all just appeared to work harder. 

 

Any suggestion of Rodgers being replaced is ridiculous unless we end up being in a serious relegation battle (not after 7 games) It's going to be a drag of a season if this continues. Not even the results but the lacklustre effort is the most annoying aspect and just makes our games boring.

Yeah I agree with a lot of that but he's so consistent and it's not like the good stuff isn't coming off it's the really basic stuff is what he's underperforming at like giving it away in our own half or getting dispossessed it's early days but just makes me wonder like i say.

Tielemans had a bad day, definitely, even if he still managed some lovely passes at times. But I do believe people expect too much from him, he's taking the ball of the centre backs, he's dictating play from deep but then also he's our biggest creative threat.

Jesus Christ, that David caller has been on Radio Leicester more than Ian Stringer.

What have you moved on from? Using any opportunity to slag off one of out most successful managers of all time? OK.

Is this the chap who said verona had broken his leg and Ventergard was too slow? And Amartree. Surely this guy isn't real?

 

He was sensational, kept accusing pipes of not listening to him when he couldn't have been more respectful.

I'm not sure. He's got a really thick accent, almost sounds more like he's from Nottingham. He does get irate.

It’s “David from Coalville” isn’t it, only he’s dropped the Coalville part. Always surfaces when we’re playing badly to offer his ‘liccle’ opinions. 
 

I don’t listen to RL much anymore but he used to call up all of the time when we lost a few games, I think he had a bust up on air once with Alan Young.

I quite like that guy to be honest -  He was on 606 on Sunday night too.

Confidence in Manager down to 59% and trust me mate I'm actually one of the moderate one.

Just lift you head up,  look around what is trending in this forum before talking nonsense.

I understand you are BR's dedicated cheerleader with the fluffy pon pons but we can't all have the same opinions.

He's done a Britney, he doesn't need the "from Coalville".

 

In fairness, I only listen back to the reaction if we've been crap.

I think Barnes is one of the most talented players around, not just in Leicester but anywhere. It seems to be a mentality thing with him. I feel he lacks belief in his ability sometimes. It's a hard one to judge. I have to admit I'm having some doubts for the first time. 

....he is very much a confidence player!!!

You can see it in his body language, he does not always believe in himself and he seems worried what to do if he gets into a scoring position. Once he starts to apply finesse to his shooting or approach into the box then you know he is on his game. His willingness to put his foot through the ball is more of "at least I gave it a go..." more than any conviction in his own play.

  We have seen what he can do and it will come good, perhaps need to add a few tricks into his play and go down the line more so he is not so easily read.

[S2sailor]

Should have sold Maddison and Tielemans while their price was high !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think James Justin us a real case of his standing improving because of the dross that’s replaced him while he’s been out injured.

 

Yes, he was good attacking fullback for a couple of months before he was injured and was starting to put in consistent performances but he’s not a huge player or a game changer, he’s not going to reverse our fortunes when he comes back.

....to a lot of extent that is usually how things work!!!

He is not a game changer directly but his attitude and willingness to compete would no doubt bring Barnes into the game more and force him to raise his game. If there is someone busting a gut, to get into a position to play you in, and you are constantly on the back foot waiting for the ball to come to you then you get exposed....!

 I get the impression that JJ is not a typical LCFC player, but would fit more into United, with his self belief and willingness to impose himself on the game and playing without fear. I feel he will go to the very top, and become a very influential player throughout the game.

You've always raised some good and valid points but I don't get why you have to go on in this sarcastic way all the time. 

Who says I’m being sarcastic.

 

After being told we’re entitled for a while now with all things considered perhaps I’ve had my eyes opened to the entitled bastard I really am, we should be happy just to make the numbers up given where we came from, shouldn’t we? 
 

I mean as I said last night, 11 years ago last week we we’re losing 6-1 to Portsmouth. We’ve just drew to Palace 2-2. Perspective.

The only way we can play 2 strikers is if we play 3 at the back or we need our 2 wide players to be good enough footballers to play narrower, work harder to fill the spaces. Or we play with no wide players at all and that brings other problems. 

 

For me, the way to get Iheanacho band Vardy in the team currently is to play Kel from the right-ish with Barnes/Lookman on the left and then a midfield 3 with Maddison or Soumare depending on the opposition. 

....I would like to see that as well!!!

With Ndidi out for a month or so now I’d like to see us try Iheanacho (right) and lookman (left) behind Vardy. Tielemans, Soumare and Choudhury in a 3.

 

Barnes isn’t cutting it and Maddison has offered very little so far this season.

 

We need to take this point and move on. Not a great performance but a result to build on and learn some lessons from. The biggest negative for me is definitely our left hand side. Can’t wait for JJ to be back. Would go with Timmy there next time with Ricardo RB 

....it is strange that we put Thomas in an F.A. Cup final and are reluctant to play him in the league!!!

Playing Nacho on the right will not work, he is very much like a homing pigeon, he will gravitate centrally and drop deep.

What a great idea! Sell two of the stronger squad players, because that would drastically improve the position we’re in!

Because we had to, and he had Fofana, Evans and Soyuncu in better form behind him. It wouldn't be fair to bring him into this now, although I can't see him being worse than Bertrand has been over the last few games. 

....exactly..!!!

Perspective...

 

Being a single-issue, solution-free bore is one thing Matt, but your output since Saturday (this jackass response included) has bordered on the unhinged.

Practice what you preach and you'll understand what I'm saying. He's not beyond reproach at all. You've slagged him off consistently, even when we win.

 

59% support of the manager suggests that more than most would disagree with you.
