5 first tier home games without a goal

[squidsworth]

Well done to the team of 24/25, for becoming the first since the 1920s to fail to score in 5 consecutive top tier home games. KP can add that to their trophy list. Disgusting.

Keep starting Reid and Ayew and will extend that further

I'm confused. 

 

Are you suggesting we need attacking players to attack the goal? 

 

This seems unusual to me. 

 

[squidsworth]

To think the last time we scored at home, was RVN 2nd game? 

[Sunbury Fox]

This is shaping up to be our worst top flight team ever.

no no, I'm assured by the bowl cut behind me today that Ayew is the greatest thing since sliced bread and all you need is players that work hard.

[Tazfox]

Only creative player in the team is Bilal, but let's be honest. He's got no one to create for.  No one makes a dangerous run. 

[Edingleyfox]

Expected goals today 0.22. Just so little pace on the wings and we don’t have midfielders full of goals. Wilf looked the best bet today. We had Vardy on for another 90 plus minutes and no substitutions until 75 mins except for the injury. Yes we looked organised and composed until the last 10 minutes but I just think more flair players need to be risked and changes made much earlier.

I'm watching the Fulham game and wish we'd have got Adam Traore who they got on a free. He's been brilliant today as Forest can't cope with his pace and strength and then providing decent crosses for a forward to score 

[Pliskin]

We may have been to league one, but this is the worst Leicester team in my history. And the saddest thing about it, is Vardy’s legacy will be ruined.

Looking at the results from season 1920/21, City were in the second tier (Division 2) when they ended the season with 5 consecutive home games without scoring, but 4 of those ended as 0-0 draws.

It could also be argued that it was Coopers momentum in those first few games as RVN hadn’t been with the team long and didn’t have any coaches in with him and we have seen the real performances over the last 10

Cooper's momentum .  There's two words that don't belong in the same sentence if ever I saw them.

 

Perhaps it was a short-lived new manager bounce?

[blueharmie]

Said it before and will say it again .

 

Mads is the only player that is premier league quality . 

 

This is why we're going down.

 

Signing the like of Reid, ayew , Skipp should be a criminal offence.

 

Disgrace off and on the pitch.

[squidsworth]

Obviously our defense stinks, but it's made worse by the fact our attacking play stinks even more. Goals change games, but we never even get one, not even a glimmer of hope. We've had nothing to get us up out the seat since the beginning of December, what a crock of crap. And KP wonder why there is discontent... This really is shaping up to be our worst ever season in the top flight. All in the capable hands of rudders(less) and the KP crisp brigade. Bring back walkers, I say.....

Crap tactics with crap players.

 

Gone are the days of a maddison or youri commanding the midfield. Vardy is isolated up top. He's too old . We really are screwed.

We were able to score goals so the momentum of that, just like how the team still carried hallmarks of coopers tactics by conceding a record amount of shots.

We have subsequently seen what RVN style of play looks like and it is not reminiscent of those 2 early performances 

[skinnydipper]

I think we should go for an own goal just to bring the bad run to an end although we'd probably miss the target 

[Free Falling Foxes]

Time to resurrect the 1970s standard song 'All we are saying, is give us a goal'

[Otis]

Who'd have thought that relying on a lone 38 year old striker would result in a lack of goals.

And having nobody else anywhere near him on the pitch.

Mads , Wilf and Bilal. Other than that I agree.

Apart from the Ipswich and Southampton who go down with us , I can't see wilf getting in a team higher .

Bilal, possibly.

Ruud being a world class striker has done nothing for him wanting to play attacking football and scoring goals, it seems.
