Leicester Vs Liverpool - Match Thread KO 10:00 UK Time

[Kierzz]

Need some quality wingers. This system doesn't work to well without threatening players out wide to stretch defences.

 

Our CBs are getting killed but we won't face the level of Liverpool's attack next season

[Kinowe Soorie]

I know we won’t be playing against this standard of opposition this season, but that first half was sloppy for me. Hopefully, it’ll be the final nail in the coffin for some of these players.

Exactly

Embrassing,  where is the new inspirational plan, can’t get the ball or keep it. Defence like statures.

[IsItMuzzy]

Whoever thought it was a good idea to have David ‘you know’ Nugent on co-comms should be relieved of their position immediately

Absolutely this!

We are gonna get torn to shreds when the football means something.

Someone tell the manager that we are NOT manchester City.

We'll plough on regardless though!!.. 

Until we're getting beat week after week (ring any bells!!!?). 

[Raj]

Enzo out

Being 3-0 down isn’t the problem. It’s how easily the three were scored from turnovers.

 

Fairly sure that turnovers won’t happen this easily come the season, this is a world class pressing team doing this for fun.

Yep. Easy to forget this. We’re playing the way we’ll want to play against Coventry against one of the best pressing teams in Europe.

[marcymarc666]

I guess this is a reality check. We've lost half a team with more to go. For me Daka isn't even championship quality. Bring on Nacho for his last appearance  !!

[FrankieADZ]

dont get the massive over reaction from some, its a pre season game, get more mins in the legs and try something different etc

and of course they wont play the line up for next weekend, like showing your hand too soon

 

does show we need more attacking/creative players to come in

Enjoyed the first 20 mins........

Too easy to get in-between the defence and midfield. 

Blueprint for all championship sides of how to beat us. High press and we crumble

I'm off to do some gardening . good luck 2nd half

Not going to have the quality of Liverpool thou.

[The_77]

Nacho will save us with a 2nd-half hattrick.

[jmono84]

Their last two goals came from us making mistakes with no press. Wilf and Castange unacceptably giving the ball away under no pressure. I like Wilfs energy bombing forward but for a CM he’s got awful ability with short little quick passes.

 

Castange is just an old school fullback who’s quick and has bags of energy 

but technically lacking. That half made me think he won’t be suited to this style.

Hopefully Enzo has now had a long enough look at Vestergaard. Can't even win simple balls in the air against tiny forwards.

Vesty needs to go ,shocking

He's said 'you know' more times than we've given away possession in the last 45 minutes.... and that's saying something!! 

[funkyrobot]

I thought want away Castagne had a shocker that 1st half. If he wants a move back to a top division he needs to really step it up.

[Rigga]

Not sure what was expected when we are playing Liverpool.. A complete mismatch that wasn’t going to give us any confidence whatsoever..

 

what concerns me more is that we still have plenty of last seasons deadwood/poison in our ranks that simply don’t want to be there..

 

were pretty much going into next weeks first game with no idea what our line up is..

[boosmanana]

Some of you in here are so bi-polar 😂 we're losing against one of the best pressing teams in the world whilst trying to learn a new style of play, with a couple of players who aren't capable of doing it. It's quite clear to see that Ndidi, Daka and Castagne are going to hold us back in this system. We'll have some new players in and some of these gone before the end of the window. It's also a pre-season game. Relax a little. First 20 minutes was the best I've seen us pass the ball around in a long time and we could have been 2-0 up. 

[ALC Fox]

Enzo will learn a lot from how we've capitulated, I'm sure.

 

Though it's important to temper any overreaction with the fact that we're playing a strong Liverpool side.

 

McAteer looks like he could have a role to play this season. Looks bright, energetic and skilful.

[Kinowe Soorie]

Jan Molby still on the pies then

The guy gets smaller when he jumps. I’ve never seen anything like it before. 

Danny Ward? 

[TrentFox]

Biggest positives:- 

First 20 minutes we looked composed and seemed to have a system that players understood.

Mads is solid with his feet and stepped up to be available.

Macateer looks a prospect.

Biggest negatives:-

New additions Winks and Doyle looked extremely average.

Players many of us had given up on last season still look crap.

We look woefully short of ‘magic’ at an individual level - just don’t see a stand-out season ahead for any individual based on that.

Rudkin apparently 

[Wink]

This is a good thing. We learn where the problems are. The club see they need more signings which we all know. Have to remember these are one of the best teams in the world.

Very harsh. Think he’s been our best player but that isn’t saying much. If you slate him you better slate the other 10 too
