At this point cannon can not be any worse than that from nacho 

He needs a fresh start and we need to salvage some money, sell him to Forest for £5 million before Afcon he wouldn't need to move and surely they'd pay that.

[Guest Kopfkino]

The solution to that shite is quite clearly that we need to pass it more. ‘If we pass it for 2 minutes then we need to pass it for 4 minutes’

 

Or the change the rules so the objective moves from scoring goals to centre half touches.

 

THE PROCESS.

0.2 xG and 0 shots on target. Dear oh dear. 

But according to Hinchcliffe we’re top of the table so not allowed to complain

Ok question to you all, does anyone actually like our style of play under Enzo, is the right system for us ?

It's effective, it's quite good at times although could do with sharpening up a bit. The problem is just a few players are too cautious where cavalier play is needed (this system relies on the 8s running beyond the striker which isn't happening enough, and the wingers winning their 1v1s which they don't try enough)

The football at my 4 year olds training this morning was a better watch

What is the opposite of ‘dynamic’?

 

That is us at the moment.

Static or shite

Yet

We look a bit better but are still giving the ball away cheaply and looking exposed. 

[Pliskin]

We’re not even controlling games anymore, constantly giving the ball away.

Right system lack of players to make it really work.

 

Need more creative at 8 and in the wide positions, and a forward who's more mobile.

So Kel’s chance was less than 0.1 chance of a goal? Not sure about that.

 

It’s pretty well matched. Two sides with similar styles. Felt we tried more forward through passes in that half, it’s just Weat Brom defended them very well.

 

Again, own worst enemy at times, but still their only real chance was when the ball landed on one of their players’ foot at a corner.

I think we have done well. Much better than Wednesday.

 

As much as it can be frustrating to watch the passing at the back at times, the more you think about the likelihood of winning playing like this, the more you see why it works. There was people saying 4-0 West Brom on here before the match. It's so unlikely this team ever concedes more than 1 with this set up.

 

We need to be much better in attack though.

With the amount of chances we gift our opponents, it’s a miracle we don’t concede more than one. 
 

I’m not moaning saying this, but I think teams have sussed us and we need to find alternative ways to play. We don’t have the sheer quality to play like this and expect to take 3pts (every game).

 

It’s largely tidy but also ineffective. 
 

West Brom don’t look any good on this display, but there’ll be plenty wondering how we’re so far ahead.

You need to insert ‘ backwards’ and ‘to the oppisition’

[Bob Hazels shorts]

Iheanacho wasn’t great but how many strikers are asked to play as DM then break

 

Vardy will be asked to do the same.

 

Possibly the reason Cannon hasn’t played yet as he does what it says on the tin

What have forest done to upset you 

[dannythefox]

We won’t finish in the top two playing like this. Final third is shocking, play 4 4 2 second half we win it, get someone closer to the striker, think nacho had touched the ball 3 times yet again.

[Fear Of The Fox]

I'd take another point here as it is because this has a 1-0 West Brom win all over it. Too lethargic, players don't take any risks, they have acres of space to move the ball forward and they're afraid because it seems there are landmines on the pitch. 

 

[Rigga]

Half a dozen times we have been in the attacking third and our first thought is to play it safe and backwards… very Rodgers like the last few games..

No....it always gives any team the chance to close us down and then the problems start!

[Fox85]

I dont like the fact either that our Wingers are having to be so negative under maresca.

 

When they first started here they were fast and direct looking to take players on to create chances  and score. Even KM just plays it back 90% of the time now.

 

Look at how WBA are playing the aggression the willingness to get forward and try and create imagine that philosophy with these leicester players.

[lcfcell]

I really enjoyed that bit where Justin started to bomb forward stopped and passed backwards
