Losing and not scoring is the worst existence for a fan.

No even looking like scoring is even worse.

I think it was better, not a bad one.

 

Just too passive.

Ofc it was passive. You just can't stick 2 strikers upfront and expect to be more competitive without creative support from the midfield and a CAM. RVN tries to do damage control, he knows 2 strikers will keep the opponent more alert and then puts 6-7 defense oriented players and walks away with a 1-0 or at worse a 2-0.

Oh yeah, that's an improvement. He thinks me or other fans have no clue about football. Guess what RVN, we know football better than you and when it comes to tactics you can't even touch our knowledge. A fan of this forum would have been now at 28-30pts at least earning the minimum wage as a manager in this team. This is a fact.

Ruud thought we deserved more

 

Can't ask for anymore, needed some luck

 

Worked on the new system all week, didn't expect "the level" to be this high after just 1 week

 

Believes we can improve if we keep working at it

Has RVN got a mental disorder. Cause if he has said this, he is ****ing stupid. It’s taken him so bloody long to change a disastrous set up, it’s useless to do it now. The players we have cannot play in a flat 4, you don’t need 12 defeats to work that out. Had he brought it in after say 4, 5, 6 even 7 defeats we’d be working on the attacking play now. 
 

Instead, we haven’t got anything again and now hope is with Southampton to keep us 6 points behind. Great work dickhead,

[Sunbury Fox]

The decision making and creativity in the final 3rd is off the scale bad. Got into loads of good positions today but then failed every single time to pick out the right pass. But you can't say you were unlucky to lose when you've had 3 shots all game and an xG of 0.1.

For the second week in a row I purposely avoided us. My time was far better spent I feel.

Don’t play Daka again and Vardy is now an impact sub. And you’re calling for us to continue with 2 up front? Make it make sense  

Bert anyone else but Daka allegedly Mavididi can play striker and bring in Evans and Monga sorry not explaining better I’m at work had to rush the message 😂😂😂

19 defeats in the PL so far this season equates to exactly half a season without a single point.

I just love these advanced maths.

For all that it was an improved performance and we largely kept Chelsea at bay, we didnt muster a single real chance on goal.

 

It’s getting beyond a joke now, our complete inability to attack is going to relegate us. 5 Premier League matches in a row without scoring and barely a shot of not across all those games as well

[Ian Nacho]

Soumare really is toilet. Can't do the basics. 

[TonyN11]

Chelsea were poor today. Maresca's hit the wall again, like last season

[Edingleyfox]

I think the team selections are always too much of a compromise to achieve very much going forward and we know that Leicester will concede. Just 3 attack minded players virtually no goal threat from midfield when we need 3 points and changes again made very late in the day

Our midfield is the source of all our problems. We have nobody that can progress the ball from defence to attack, and nobody in midfield that can basically pass the ball forward.

 

Ndidi has credit in the bank

Soumare is dogshit at everything

Winks can be neat and tidy but has no physicallity

Skipp who knows, just generally shite

 

So many times we pass it around at the back as there is nobody in midfield open for the ball. So we ping it long so the flanks or hope Vardy will win a long ball against some 6’5” defender

Ricardo I agree with. Not winks or mavididi though. 

Mavididi (or Buonanotte) would offer an alternative to either Daka or Vardy as the second striker as there’s little point playing both Vardy and Daka as they are the same player (Vardy being the better option obvs.) Both are finishers. Neither are dribblers or can hold the ball up brilliantly (Vardy better.)

 

Winks because he works well with Ricardo and is more likely to pass forwards than Bouba. 

[Pita]

Another missable afternoon. 

[Richmondfox]

Wasted the first half with Soumare in there jogging around, passing backwards when we actually tried to break or passing to Chelsea. 

 

Ndidi, Winks and Ricardo is the better option.  We need to stop punting the ball long hoping the donkey Daka might actually do something with it.  It gets punted up because too often the back line and Soumare are happy to ply themselves into trouble instead of trying to go forwards quickly. 
 

Stick Mavadidi up front to be his usual greedy self, Vardy wasted play by trying to bring idiots like VK and Daka into the game. 
 

JJ offered nothing again going forward and was constantly tucked in leaving the right side open. We could have ten men behind the ball and they still would leave the back post unmarked while everyone stands around watching.

I’d be tempted to play Ricardo instead of Soumare. Winks is too light weight

At this point, I am staggered when people watch our games and can't see that the full backs (today wing backs) have the most impossible job. They have been asked to defend 2/3 players on their own and provide all the attacking width, particularly in Justin's (right hand side) case. Obviously he's had a poor season but Ricardo in his prime would get ripped to shreds in this team.

Enzo saying in his post match interview that we’ve looked good since Ruud took over. 😂

Is he an Ostrich?.. obviously not watching the same games we watch.And I ask why give 3 subs only 7 minutes to play?

 

 

[Parker Pen]

Well he’s gone 532 and binned Vestergaard, now just the other jinx Soumare to go! Hopefully we may see some improvement if he starts Ricardo instead of him.
