Birmingham (H) - Match Thread

[mattlcfc15]

We look super solid defensively which feels very odd, just really missing Bilal and that bit of class when we do win it back

[Kitchandro]

So many players just play like they’re here for the money and it’s been the case for years. There’s no thought whatsoever to entertain or play like they’re committed / enjoying it.

Won't be long before Birmingham realise they just need to play it quicker round our midfield and in front of our defence and they'll create more chances. 

They’ve had lots of the ball but haven’t done a great deal either. 
 

Defensively we have looked okay. 
 

We just an out ball that isn’t smash it toward Fatawu. 

[purpleronnie]

wow this league is sooo awful.

[jonny_wright]

Nice to get the early lead and manage the game for once! Rather than chase 

[kingpowerout]

Have we seen the best of Mavididi under Enzo!? Not sure what the guy offers these days

And yet we're still slogging around instead of going for a 2nd!

Page, skip off

[The Doctor]

playing Mav and Fatawu basically as wing backs, so bad

I don't agree everyone is putting a shift in 

[FoxesWalk]

I know it’s always black and white thinking on here, we’re either amazing or shite, but that was a solid 6/10 Championship first half. We scored and limited them to nothing. 
 

Wasn’t a very good watch, but Page aside nobody has had a notably poor game for Leicester, and even then Page has been Okay ish, not a disaster. Ayew does piss me off constantly falling over mind.

His form was patchy then, clearly a confidence player needs goals  

[The Doctor]

Daka and Winks for Ayew and either of the tugboats

[Iwebema]

Ayews been involved, had some nice touches, but his general style of play is killing us going forward. When you have a defensive striker and 2 holding midfielders with no attacking qualities its tough to break teams down.

 

Its been the same every game, it really is just a personel issue. 

 

Can't argue we look organised and more solid, but he cant work miracles with these attacking options.

[Sly]

I want to like Marti, however I’m not sure what the tactics are currently if I’m honest.

[whoareyaaa]

Are people expecting us to play like Liverpool or something ?

 

Good half, limited then to no chances and have took the lead clearly we are going to be trying to keep the ball and such

[DJ Barry Hammond]

For all of Birmingham’s pressure / posession… 1 shot, 0 on target.

 

Marti to regroup them at halftime.

 

Daka for page might be a choice - we need a threat in behind.

Mavididi has been playing like he's wearing Rockports and Skipp has hidden behind their players 

[HankMarvin]

Take Fatawu out of the last two fixtures 🤢

[Simonb]

Not losing so that's good.. nothing else was any good.

[Noahfence]

There is only so much you can do with no midfield, no striker and no left back 

[Fox seen in Norwich]

This must be such a sh1t game to watch for a neutral 

[Oldblueyes]

Thomas has not played forward once has he?

[StanSP]

Half time. 

 

Strong start and to take the lead, but since then it's been a bit dull. 

 

Soumare has been good defensively. 

 

We have absolutely no outlet other than Fatawu. I'd bring Winks on for Skipp because he's doing fvck all on or off the ball. At least with Winks on we'll get the ball forward much quicker. 

 

Mavididi needs more of the ball because he's had very little. It's one of those games again where if he doesn't see a lot of it, he's a bit shaky when he does get it. 

 

Need more urgency and not be so cautious. It'll only invite pressure and eventually be worn down.
