[teblin]

Is anyone in mosh? Russel Martin looked like he was going to head down there after the game with his get up.

 

what a performance though.

Job isn’t done yet, really silly to be celebrating like that IMO. 

They are celebrating his hattrick, not so much the result. It is all for Fatuwa and I don't mind it for that. 

I think we play better with confidence and a swagger. Hopefully, we have that back now for our final 2 games.

Can we talk about the weird/cool tactical switch of having Vestergaard as an additional presser in midfield when Southampton had it in their defensive third? 
 

@StriderHiryu I expect a report on my desk by COP Wednesday. Thanks

Yeh liked him smashing people high up the pitch a few times

Fair play, just saw the vid and the FT one and assumed. 
 

Gotta focus on Preston, but it’s looking good…

At least they had 66% possession  that’s the important stat

And double our passes

Fantastic result to wake up to

That is briefly discussed at some point during the post match on Beyond the 90:

 

 

He's been doing that in a lot of our recent games. I personally wouldn't say it's a new thing, if we lose the ball, the idea is to win it back within 8 seconds with short, sharp pressing. Vestergaard has no pace, so if he presses to win it back high up the pitch, that's more likely to be succesful than if he's caught in a foot race. When we push up there is enough time for other players to get back if caught on the transition. When he goes up, one of the other two drops a little. 

 

What we do mention here is how Janik started his career as a CDM. He's excellent on the ball and a great passer. If it wasn't for his lack of mobility (not just pace, but ability to turn), he'd probably be a really good one. When the game is played in front of him, he's a quality player and IMO unlucky not to be in the Championship team of the season.

Remarkable really that its about the first game he's dared step slightly away from Enzo Ball.

Did the same thing against them at their ground too. They had more possesion and passes that day too and lost 4-1. Our last goal summed them up, pushing suicidally high, getting caught out and then concede in the blink of an eye.

 

This bodes well for next season as almot every team will turn up to play and not park the bus. Plymouth and Millwall put bodies on the line. Southampton put those bodies 60 yards up the pitch with no cover!

That was a great performance. Anyone in the stadium saw one of the last great games from Vardy.

 

Fatuwu was awesome

I’ve enjoyed your insights across the season - but I have to say this episode is by far the worst analysis you’ve ever put across. 
 

There was not a single mention of the role the match thread starter played or how his memes kept the momentum up throughout the 90 minutes. 
 

Honestly shocking. 
 

If I were you I’d go check out that match thread and give some credit where it was truly due. 
 

I’m out. 

[Kienan dewsbury croc]

Even daka didn’t screw up class performance 

[trabuch]

For all those saying we'll get smashed in the PL - when teams try and play against us, we aren't too shoddy.

FATAWUUUUUUU

Vardy was ****ing superb. You wonder if they'll actually give him another year.

[KFS]

I think we’ve done it now. Requires perfection from two other teams. That’s too many variables in this crazy league. Can see Leeds bottling it Friday

He's got something about him that lad. I wish he'd played more games for England.

I had to work during the game, and was running around with rehearsals and stuff. 
 

Checked the score and it was 1-0. Then couldn’t look at my phone for what felt like an eternity and it was 4-0. 
 

Delighted for Fatawu, and indeed the whole side. Also delighted that we got to batter Russell Martin twice in a season. 
 

I am now going to watch the game in full on ESPN+ and read all of your comments on the matchday thread as I go, with joy in my heart.  
 

Just gutted the Preston game is on Monday so won’t be able to see it again. As always, you lot will talk me through it later on.

It didn’t cure the manflu. Now I’m still in pain and coughing but drunk. Not a clever combination.
