LCFC vs Wolves (A) - Match Thread

[yorkie1999]

We need to target their player who got booked, just keep going at him and he’ll get red carded. Any player who boots the ball at another player is on the edge, we need to recognise things like that and play dirty

How the hell has Clinton Morrison got a job as co-commentator on 5 Live?

 

 

His parole officer probably put in a good word !!

It hit his hand from about 2 inches no way a penalty 

Not sure. V close range, true, but it wouldn't have hit his hand if he weren't holding it up in an unnatural position.

Genuinely can't believe how many people were saying we shouldn't sign Lookman after the Randers game. He's been our best player this season  and for £15m its an absolute no brainer. 

[OntarioFox]

Think we've looked very good in most aspects to be honest. Lookman is everywhere.

 

Have to stop conceding soft corners, they haven't really threatened from open play except for their goal but it almost feels inevitable we'll concede when they get one.

 

Our goal was a truly beautiful piece of play, enjoyed that more than most this season.

 

We are getting a LOT more time on the ball than most teams normally afford us - genuinely surprised how much they're sitting off us giving their defensive reputation. We have to make that tell in the second half, because we're creating plenty.

A lot of yellow cards... both bmteams may struggle to finish with 11

[Marshall Cockney Fox]

Is leathering the ball at a player prone on the ground not a red? It's beyond cowardly

Do quite like Lookman. His end product is sometimes a bit suspect, but at least he’s direct and wants to get in the box and run at defenders. He’s No Mahrez but he’s not bad. 

He seems to hold onto the ball really well quite frequently, rarely turns over possession too

We need to win this with other results going against us if we are to have any hope of top six.

Top six? Someone's feeling optimistic!  I've pretty much accepted we'll have a scrappy mid-table season, instead.

Also definitely need a new no.1 for next season.

 

 

👏🏼
First out the door in my book, legend though he is and always will be.

The first step towards improving our defence and defending of set pieces is to get a goalkeeper that can contribute more than shouting ‘head away, head away!’

Its a nettle alright, but one that needs grasping if we’re ever to be decent at defending crosses, corners & set pieces

Look awful defending but have played the better football going forward. I’d swap Iheanacho for Daka. Patson is a defender’s dream with his running, never tries to find space, almost marks his defender. Not got the intelligence of Vardy off the ball atm. 

Spot on, needs to improve his runs, no better player to learn from than Vardy.

Love Soyuncus new found long balls, wheres he been hiding them these last few years? 

Behind his massive cock?

Yes, for a team with an absolutely awful defense, why do we try to defend everything? 

Do we? Must have missed that this season.

 

Second half...make ready with that Nacho gif of yours. 

[HybridFox]

Wolves are there for the taking imo. I can equally see Brendan going to a 3 at the back which would be disastrous. Big half coming up

Fancy @TheBear might be along later to tell us they are not at their best today, if that’s the case. Keep it up. 

Hes already dropped that out a few pages back

I think lookmans biggest problem is barnes he looks so much better on the left

Was stupid and a pity because he's done well.

Not a bad first half, feel a bit nervous in defence but the better team so far. 

 

I think Daka isn't working at the moment, Iheanacho would be far more useful in both getting into scoring positions and holding the ball up.

Nacho to support would be good but we absolutely do not want to take Daka off. He’s a poacher, half a chance he’ll bury it. 

 

I hate when we make subs like that because if you fall behind we would have such limited attacking options.

Carry on boys. Don't drop off. No negative tactics. 

Vesty to come on a half time in place of Daka

[KP Fox]

The ref cocked up with their playet who got booked for simulation. That was a nasty foul he did 30 seconds later. 

[Shane]

Iheanacho would have had a field day in that first half and exploited the gaps in Wolves defence.

I know what you mean but while we still have it in our hands we might as well keep believing.
