Clearly made a quick stab at the ball and just missed it. Save red cards for genuinely back challenges, not something that's innocent and ends up looking bad Missed it be about 18 inches

Should have taken Ndidi off for Madders and go for it. He’s clearly not fit, it was a bit of a gamble to start him, hopefully, a run around today through will get him ready for West Ham on the weekend. 2

It was a short quick movement. In what world can he do whatever magic people want him to do and pull his leg back 5 milliseconds later? People see the studs go into the leg and think red, fair enough but I prefer to look at the actual intent rather than the result. It really wasn’t quick in real time imho

The whole system stinks, sitting off not engaging them, just inviting them on us. It’s like we’ve just given up and said let’s see how long we can defend a 0-0 for. Exactly this, and it we know it will cost us. When Smith arrived I wasn't over the moon but with Terry and Shakey I only really thought there were 2 things we needed to see us over the line. 1) Basic defensive organization, 2) fight for the badge, and was excited for seeing this. We've done neither over the course of Smiths time here. Defensively as bad as we were, arguably sometimes worse, and a real lack of intensity and effort from most of the squad. Smith is a nice guy, and this isn't his fault, but he really has not proven he's up to this level. Edited 22 May 2023 by cityfanlee23 1

It is a must win for us this game. He just didn’t have any service as we have not tried to play.
420Hashish Posted 22 May 2023 Posted 22 May 2023 At least we didn't concede first half. That's a first in a very long time.
FosseSpark Posted 22 May 2023 Posted 22 May 2023 (edited) Weve got a 'bringing the runner down in the right channel' penalty brewing. Tielemans or thomas pulling back almiron or longstaff Edited 22 May 2023 by FosseSpark
MPH Posted 22 May 2023 Posted 22 May 2023 Going down fighting… I can handle that… but we are not….. But even if we miraculously stay up, this team is doing to be severely damaged from this… 2

Sly Posted 22 May 2023 Posted 22 May 2023 We’re being made to look this poor, with a team featuring Schaar and Burn.
Guest Mee-9 Posted 22 May 2023 Posted 22 May 2023 Wonder if Iversen’s worked on his kicking. Last week he’d have punted 6 out for a throw in by now.

StanSP Posted 22 May 2023 Posted 22 May 2023 I know we're playing 11 men behind the ball but we could be so much more intelligent and sensible on the ball whenever we happen to get it. At least try and lump it forward to wherever Vardy is... 1
