If im honest I find all football boring these days 

 

Please someone tell me it isn't just me 

It’s not just you mate, I feel exactly the same. That second half performance was horrendous. Marti called his players arrogant. Need a performance and win in the Principality before the next international break.

[adam]

Probably the most bored I've ever been at a football match. WTF was that second half. Side ways and backwards passing and absolutely no attacking intent. 

The manager is gonna get himself the sack if he keeps relying on the same willy pullers who have let us down over the last few seasons. 

 

 

Shout out to both our left backs today who were absolutely pathetic.

Hamza should not be playing the inverted RB anymore. Spent the entire game stood on either Winks, James or Faes toes and then left Fatawu doubled up every time. Flapping his arms for no pass when had he stood 5/10 yards to the side he'd be in acres of space.

Agree with everything apart from the last line, Moore literally won everything for them up front. Up against it up there on his own, but i think he did well for them.

I know we aren't blessed with strikers but if I had to watch him upfront like that every game I'd probably give up.

1 shot on target again tells the story. 
 

For 68 minutes, it’s probably the most fluid we’ve looked so far this season, however the same problem continues to occur. 
 

We look like a side without a natural goalscorer, and things will stay that way until January unless Daka, Carranza or Ayew start firing, atm the chances of that happening look seriously slim.

 

The last time we were in the Championship, Vardy managed 18 goals, KDH managed 12, of course we don’t have that luxury anymore. Who on earth is going to get to those type of numbers? The way our squad looks, we’re going to be over reliant on Fatawu, Mavididi and maybe Ramsey. 
 

In terms of our style of play, you know what you’re going to get with Leicester City nowadays, I feel we’ve become far too predictable in our philosophy. Possession, possession, possession with very little potency because we have a striker issue. We scored a nice team goal tonight, but for most of this season, if the wingers can’t create anything, then we look like creating fvck all. 
 

On deadline day we signed players for the right positions, but if this continues, the question will end up being, why on earth didn’t we sign a natural goalscorer?

Chucked 2 points away there.  

 

Probs not going to be promoted with form like this.

 

Is it me, or did we become a massively weaker side after Skipp came on?

 

 

Did he come on ?

Nah - he was given form by sucking all the energy out of the game

[Metal Lover]

Hmmm, well shit. Poor subs, wtf. Shit in it.

[OntarioFox]

@Union FS said it before, will say it again - what are the chances of a "Give Youth A Chance" banner in your section?

Page, Aluko, Nelson should all be knocking on the door of the first XI with the way things are going. We can't just shrug off the same old wastemen clogging up the squad and costing us valuable points just because Monga has broken through. Vest-uhhhhhhhhhh-gard and Skipp collectively at fault for the goal tonight. The usual shit, different week, the usual suspects costing us.

why do we persist in short sideways passing at the back rather than move the ball forward rapidly and then on the odd occasion we get close to the 18yd area we again pass it sideways, backwards..absolutely no desire to run to pull defenders out of position, hence no space...surely they work on quick transition during the week and creating gaps??? if not why not ffs

Because it's the only way to play football apparently. 

 

There is no other system out there.

Apart from a side pass.

A foot on the ball.

Rely on wingers. 

 

 

[Mike Oxlong]

It would be nice to see us actually counter attack from time to time. The number of times we spurn the opportunity to do so really fvcks me off 

[Stuntman_Mike]

Awful game and performance.

 

I thought Marti's footy was meant to energetic? So slow and predictable. 

 

Hamza getting the whole game without Ricardo coming on was the worst of all the bad subs. Winks was desperate for someone to link up with and to actually create something.

What a bunch of unlikable cvnts this team are. No desire whatsoever. Deserved to lose.

Just like last season and next season and the season after, in fact for every season ad infinitum, can't see it ever changing.

I think we need to play the wingers very narrow almost as strikers, with a false 9/10 mate. I think it’s the only solution with the players we have. I genuinely think the pace and skill of Fatawu, monga and mavididi would be terrifying played more narrow and direct.

[Lambert09]

Does come down to not having a striker again for me, in the first half any half decent striker gets in the end of the 2 dangerous balls into the box. Vardy taps them both home imo. 
 

3-0 at half time and we we win at a canter 

 

at the end of the day, I feel sorry for Marti because the vestergarde and kristiansen mistakes are basics of football and you can’t coach that crap out of players. And the less  said about skipp the better. How can you jog about with your man wide open in that situation. If he just put the effort in he’d have been there to clear that up without any issue. 
 

Very annoying as the 11 who started the game did well today and the result probably means soumare and ayew get back in. 

[Metal Lover]

When you play your best 11 and there is a lot of shit in the squad, subs will always be an issue.

It isn't just you but if it helps all professional football is rancid and gets worse as each season goes by. Money has destroyed it.

We don’t have the fullbacks to offer any width though, we’re already too congested at times 

[AKCJ]

Dogshit results from a dogshit squad. Not sure why anyone is surprised. Sooner we drain the swamp of the absolute shit here the better. 

[foxtillidrop]

We look toothless....all the posession in the world but no goal threat, and no urgency to get shots in on goal to secure 3 points...

 

We should have put the game to bed in the first half with all that posession going towards the kop...

 

Every time we've been promoted we've had a good strikeforce whether Dikov/Deane, Nugent/Vardy. This side lacks any sort of threat up top.

I can understand wanting our wingers to excel in 1 vs 1 situations, as that’s the biggest strength of the three of them.

 

At this moment in time, they are looking seriously isolated with very little support, especially Fatawu who’s having to take on 2-3 players by himself, to the point where he’s become predictable in his play. 
 

If we don’t get anything out of our wingers, then the lack of goals will probably continue. 

[RonnieTodger]

Thought Bobby Reid was quite good

[Bob Weasel Fox]

Play Page

 

Play Nelson

 

play other younger players (even from bench) 

 

 Look for the future and stop playing the same players that have been dogshit for 3 years now

Marti continues his record of barely breaking 1xG per game

This is the biggest underlying issue to me. But we have a squad bereft of quality attacking players, even at this level. 
 

He’s got to have players near the wingers when attacking to draw men away from them. All teams double up on our wingers and shut us down.

He’s got to be bolder in how we approach games, we were far too passive against a poor Wrexham side. I also don’t think he reacts to what is happening in games well. He made the wrong decision to take JJ off at half time against West Brom and he’s made 2 substitutions at 1-0 tonight which completely lost our control of the game.
