Enzo if he has anything about him there has to be a plan b he can't continue with same set up and not expect the same results. The plan isn't work, if we continue with it we are heading into the play offs. I think even in the interview with sky he answered the question in a way that gave the impression that his current style of play isn't working anymore. I think come Monday we need to take a different approach to the game, stop this slow short passing nonsense and actually move the ball quicker up the pitch and actually have player in the box that are in a position to receive crosses to get in shots on target and not pot shots from way out side the box.

We are in the playoffs spot already

One game isnt it?

[scinnell]

Can't stand another unchanged team again. Beginning to seriously question Enzo and his lack of subs to change a game.

Given the current team malaise, is there no room for Canon up front, Nelson at the back? Two players that need a start, are full of running and maybe are our future.

Is there a chance we don't make the playoffs?

3 points from the last 8 games would mean Coventry (7th) couldn’t catch us. So win this and it guarantees play offs. 

[STEVIE B]

Draw. 1-1. Dull game. 

[don_danbury]

another loss. proper 2020 vibes 

[Dan]

He'll change nothing and we'll not win it. I still think the level of player in our side can be enough to bag us a result on an off day but I have no expectations in the performance at this point.

 

I'll say 2-2 - which probably means a loss really, seeing as any slightly pessimistic prediction I make at the time turns out to be hugely optimistic in hindsight.

The wingers have been really terrible. They both seem to have lost any forward impetus from earlier in the season. They are obviously told to play that outside-to-inside slide pass (Fatawu to Ndidi or Mavididi to KDH) but it never works. At Bristol it worked once with Fatawu to Faes, but that was it otherwise the wingers cut back to recycle the play like Rodgers-ball.

 

Fatawu also has the infuriating habit of giving the ball away and making us open to the counter-attack (i.e. Chelsea). So, if you remove the wingers from providing a goal threat we have to depend on Vardy, but with no service from the wings and no creative midfielder being in-and-around Vardy, our lack of attacking threat is shocking. With the players at the club we should be offering more of a consistent goal threat (not chances created by the mistakes of the opposition).

 

The failing Enzo system and his stubborn reluctance to change (again like Rodgers) means that us fans can predict what is going to happen each game, we then witness it happen, and we also witness the Enzo management team failing to react through subs or tactical changes. After these games we are then told that we played well (remember the nonsense from Rodgers after Palace away where we allowed 21 shots against us in the first half).

 

Other teams now know what we do, and it turns out that it is very easy to stop and counter. More generally, King Power have now overseen a few seasons of unacceptable declines and missed opportunities (including the kit price scandal, and now the FFP breaches), in all previous cases they have also failed to act. We are now destined for 3rd or 4th, destined to bottle the playoffs, and then destined to see the management and players leave on the cheap.

 

If KP were serious about success they would fire Enzo now !!!

The result of failing to act is already known so there is nothing to lose, unless of course our owners are now indifferent to the future of our club.

You just summed up my thoughts in a much more rationale manner mate 👏🏻

I’m genuinely sick and tired of Enzo right now, his post match comments were borderline on offensive and when you add that to his “I’ll walk”, “Pre Leeds comments” then you actually realise a pattern has formed and he’s a rookie manager with zero pedigree yet acting like Pep/Klopp/Sir Alex etc.

 

Get over yourself, re-evaluate the objective (promotion) and start using the squad to their ability rather than the same, predictable phases of play that EVERY opposition manager has clearly cottoned onto.

 

If not, enjoy your evenings with your annoying little pal Guillem Balague as your managerial career will effectively be two failures on your resume.

Agree. 
 

Id add, that I do feel somewhat for the wingers because they’re being asked to produce something at walking pace.

 

Momentum is everything in football, and we don’t play with any.

Both our wingers run at Norwich, don't pass back.

 

Shoot from outside the box.

There’s a lot I like about that, but dropping Mads would be absolutely criminal.

The atmosphere will turn seriously toxic if we don't convincingly win this, even more so than anything we saw under BR. What we have thrown away is unforgivable. Hopefully Top is there.

The pack needs a shuffle.
Mentally, I’m here…

Fatawu and Mavididi are dangerous wingers on their day but I'd still argue our overall most dangerous winger in terms of assists is Sharky. The effort he puts in is incredible and he can deliver a ball better than anybody else in the team. Most underrated and underused player in our team and its really ****ing annoying.

They haven't got the money to fire him!

Fatawu looks terrified to make a mistake and Mavididi just has his head down constantly. Both need to up it, sick to death of playing ****ing hiding
