Has anyone ever attempted to jump for a ball less than Vestergaard just did there?

Let's be honest, he offers absolutely nothing to the team beyond an alleged ability to pass it forward. The sooner Coadys back and we can put him back out into the fields around Seagrave to keep the crows away, the better

[Gav_LCFC14]

Ndidi in an advance role destroys the midfield balance, hes notngot the ability to create chances.

[jayfox26]

Really hope we step it up 2nd half as that was poor. Hull defensively are awful and the keeper is crap and we've not even tested them. I've no issue with the tactics and the patient build up but once we break the lines we're not quick enough and make the wrong decisions too often allowing Hull to get men back into position. I can't imagine Enzo will be happy with that. Get Casadei on. Yunus has looked decent but unfortunately most of his good work has been defensively 

[Turtle27]

Two big issues for us, 1. The lack of shots on the box and chances created. 2. The amount of space between midfield and the back three/four if we loose it there we look vulnerable every time. 

[Ian Nacho]

Worst half of the season. Can see this style of football has the potential to be mind numbing at times. 

[Hales]

Half time hair dryer from Enzo, he will sort it!

Why do we play like it's a friendly for 70-80% of the match... no urgency. Really fed up of watching this tempo for so many years 

Because it’s the 20% we don’t that has won us 6 games in the trot? 

[Chester Dontlie]

Fuchssake, zero shots on target... I get flashbacks to recent seasons under BR. Casadei can't come on soon enough. Also Ndidi shouldn't even feature in the starting line up

[Fazzer 7]

This side is incapable of bossing a game from the off. Against a poor Hull city side as well. Too much dilly dallying around at the back. Changes are needed at half time and we need to be quicker and more direct otherwise this game is lost. This is like watching a Rodgers side ffs Enzo sort it out lad.

Rinse and repeat.

Fingers crossed!

[blueharmie]

Get ndidi off. He can't play football.

[James_lcfc]

Yeah, that was bad. No need to panic though.

 

We haven’t really played well in any game yet…but still won them all!

 

…or does that catch up with you after a while?

Yep agree.We need to be zipping the ball around quickly,not this shit lethargic passing.It’s like watching serie A.I know it’s early in the season,but teams will find us out.

Meh - I found one (and another when that conked out) eventually

[FoxesWalk]

Ndidi > Casadei 

 

and later on i’d bring on both wingers from the bench.

 

KDH lucky we are lacking depth for #8. I’d be tempted to move McAteer central and do KDH > Mavididi.

 

Iheanacho also poor.

Luck will run out eventually. 

[HoChiMinhFOX]

They're sat back and hard to break down, but it's definitely achievable. Get someone more creative on like Casadei and we'll be laughing.

[Mark]

I’m sensing some unrest, Faes in particular who’s been struggling since the first minute. Seems to have a problem with Yunus all throughout the first half.

 

We’re desperate for Casadei in one of the number 8 positions, can’t keep persisting with Ndidi there.

 

Thought McAteer played really well and would be unlucky to come off.

[HUNTA84]

We should've been giving Mcateer more of the ball, he's had the beating of their rb the whole half

Enzo really is a charming man, but i am not confident about him as a manager

I actually think this is the best we've played this season. McAteer has his full back best, 1 more foul from him and he'll be hooked before a red card. Centre back are walking a fine line too.

 

But it's the same story as the other 4 league games so far this season, we don't create enough dangerous opportunities and clear cut chances

[cruzFOX]

Cmon maresca you have a massive subs bench now. Make some changes and let’s win this game. Enough if dilly dally nonsense!
