LCFC vs Villa (A) Post Match Thread 2 - 1

[theessexfox]

Obviously can look at Kasper and Lookman as absolutely abysmal but the likes of Ndidi and Castagne are absolutely dreadful at the moment too.

[Chiltern Fox]

2nd best all over the park.

[Harry96]

So predictable 

[Bezzanator89]

On the plus side, my stream for the Napoli game has already died.

[SecretPro]

Zonal marking doesn't work. Let's carry on with zonal marking. Hi, I'm Brendan and I'm a ****.

Don’t even know where to start….

 

 

Just a completely unforgivable second half performance against an extremely ordinary side.

 

In short, we are ****ing awful, there’s no inspiration in that team, we’re too easy to beat, we seem to only be able to press for about 20 minutes and then once we go be behind, we are ****ed. 
 

And seemingly Rodgers doesn’t seem able to pick the lads up…

 

One thing that has to happen is Kasper needs dropping, he is the worst part of that defence and his performance today was frankly embarrassing. Ward deserve at least a chance to have a go. 
 

Ultimately another depressing day at the office.  

[Arriba Los Zorros]

Meh. We've really lost our mojo this season. Not panic stations yet while we are mid table but Rodgers needs to sort the same old issues or he should be under pressure.

[Elvis hammond]

Brendan out

[Bert]

Another set pieces shambles defensively. Another stone wall penalty denied at villa park. 

[Guest Col city fan]

I think we’re in a spot of bovver here.

It’s not only about points, it’s about how we are playing. There looks to be something very wrong at the club and it’s been worrying for months tbh

Relegation fight very possible I’m afraid 

[Mister Singh]

Absolutely shite, players look knackered, no energy.

[sishades]

We are in a relegation battle. Even Norwich put in some effort today. That was dog turd. Forget finishing top half, we must now concentrate on  just staying in the premier league. This season has been turgid. By Xmas we will be down there unless something drastic happens. Defence was and has been a complete car crash. We may as well not have a back line. Kaspar needs dropping. Play the kids against Newcastle. Lose that one and BR must be treading the fine line to an execution. Garbage. An absolute horror show. One of the worst of 2021.

well if he’s on thin ice then there will be a chance? 
 

 

thin ice is risky to walk on.. because it might break!

Napoli are evens to beat us...just sayin.

Ludicrous odds. Our players will shit themselves there. Could be 3/4 nil

[5waller5]

Something has to change.

 

For me that’s Kasper. His weakness is now being targeted every week.

 

The defence is a shambles and I’m convinced it’s down to our “HEAD AWAY” keeper.

Totally agree. Ndidi ain't doing shit.

25 fouls!! We’re too aggressive for me except when we defend set pieces.

 

Its so easy for teams to bypass our middle and get at our defence but when we get the ball there’s the defence and midfield to get through.

 

BR’s tactics are not working and the biggest problem for me is we’re too aggressive but not stopping the ball come forward. Players are not physically strong enough.

[City_4_Life]

F**k this season, lets just get to 40 points 🤣

Yes it does work, if it is coached properly and players attack the ball!  All the top side use it in some form or other.

[oxtonfox]

So, on to Naples... no problem 

[Grebfromgrebland]

Maybe it's time for a new keeper??!!?

[NaijaFox]

It’s not like the opposition are scoring fantastic goals…

Instead, we are making elementary mistakes and opponents do not even have to work for their supper. 

[orangecity23]

Despise Villa. Cheating scum every time they play us constantly diving, and we fall for it every time. We need to be a lot more cunning and ruthless against this mob, they will cheat constantly so you have to get right on the refs case immediately or they will give them everything. Deserve nothingwith that set piece defending though, and if you are going to concede from every set piece, maybe stop letting the oppostion con their way to cheap free kicks in dangerous positions lads? Braindead.

 

Subs ruined the shape, no idea what Rodgers was doing.

[daddylonglegs]

£8m a year to have us playing like this. Embarrassing.
