The big problem is playing tippy tappy schitty ball in our own box it showed today wilder has seen us do that so much this season he’s pushed his players on mass to us so we panic which on cue we did, we are our own worst enemy passing around our own box and area and how many times do we give the ball away panicking a pass and we know what happens?

 

I agree.  I don’t know why we do it. Only very skilled teams can tap the ball around a few feet away from the goal and get away with it.  It’s like leaving your Porsche unlocked in Leicester town centre on a Saturday night, with your wallet and laptop on the front seat, and then being surprised when it’s all stolen.

Must be the worst first half performance since that infamous Wolves capitulation. Grim.

First half was one of THE most embarrassing  disgraceful  performances  I've seen and I'm just glad it didnt get Too toxic although in a way it would have showed just how bad things are.

 

Stayed till the end and although the 2nd half was alot better the damage was done.

 

Some of these players should really be ashamed and the Manager can go feck himself for all I care.

Left at half time, don’t care about the second half improvement. In fact I don’t care at all anymore.

 

There’s no real connect for me to this Leicester City, I don’t relate to the players, manager or the club. It’s almost like they have treated me as a customer for so long that’s just what I feel like. I didn’t boo them, chant about them not being fit to wear the shirt, get irate about the appalling defending, I just got up and walked away. 
 

First goal was atrocious, second and third were ok to concede but we didn’t lay a glove on them. That’s unacceptable. 

Exactly how I feel, I also left at Half time, first time I have left a game early in 14 years of being a STH

Deciding to have a problem with a 16 year old really is bizarre. Few of your posts about him have been odd. 
 

Strange guy but not surprising.

Passing the ball to death is whats killing us.

The pathetic attempts to play it from our own 6 yard box invariably giving it away. The amount of times we end up by our own corner flag with nowhere to go, ludicrous. It only ever works with 3 quick passes, everyting elese is a disaster.

The amount of times we get into the opponents half and meekly pass it back to the halfway line.

The amount of times we have a good crossing position and don`t cross.

Short corners that lead to nothing, today 3-0 down at the beginning of the second half, short corner and we don`t get the fkin ball anywhere near the box nevermind in it, from a free chance t stick it in the most dangerous of positions possible.

 

Every team we play against , even the crappy ones try to do something constructive with the ball when they get in the opponents half.

If the the players are doing what the coaching staff tell them, then the coaching staff need to be sacked.

The only reason why we improved, was because we abandoned this love affair with Pep ball. Marti Out. Martin In. 

 

I am interested in aggressive, forward thinking football. 

 

Any more than 3 sideway passes, means you're out the team. 

 

We don't have the talent. 

Even then JV can’t help but slip back into trying to control everything and walk to the halfway line. 

Drop JV for the next game and the tempo will instantly be upped.  He is the constant in this slow boring and dangerous style. 
 

It’s so frustrating that even now the wingers won’t run into space.

 

Mav and Monga we having a stand still, not pass and step over contest. Monga, Fatawu, Mav and Ricardo are all now such boring players.

Everyone else in the stadium could see we were going to concede the first goal, apart from our players. The amount of twatting about and failure to clear the ball 3 times was rhe worst I’ve seen from us this season. What the **** were we playing at? Awful. I left 10 minutes before half time, I don’t care. I didn’t care when it got to 3-2 when I was driving home either. We need liquidating for that first half performance alone, grim.

Only shame was that Monga was pretty poor. Decision making really wasn't great. Several opportunities to put the ball in a dangerous area and instead he slowly dribbled towards a defender and got tackled. Time after time.

He had about 12 minutes on the pitch and hadnt played in ages. Tried to make things happen and force his was through. Some bright moments but ultimately nothing came off. Ultimately, what can you do in such a short period of time?

The 1st goal was the single worst moment i have seen from us in a long, long time. 

 

It started earlier that the replay i just watched gives it credit for, where the Sheff Utd players pressed Vestergaard successfully and between him and Thomas just got ourselves stuff. Then Winks clearance just summed it up. How the heck we got outselves in that mess i dont know. Incompetence.

I don’t have a problem at all. I love the kid. But he’s not exempt from constructive criticism. Get your facts right before you start getting personal.

Just watched the first 3 goals, don't even want to see ours.

It would be cheaper than paying their full wages

[Dahnsouff]

The nature of the first goal, so soon after kick off is inexcusable, further evidence that we cannot cope with the press. Don’t try to, put it back in their half.

The second goal,  is even worse than the first just because it stinks of a lack of mental fortitude and an ability to take control even after such a terrible start and our recent frailty.

We just don’t have the guts or brains to deal with what’s in front of us.

I think it was worse than the Wolves goal. Just.

It was that dull, tippy tappy shite we insist on doing to draw the opposition in so we can break but we’re not good enough to pull it off, so we end up panicking, losing possession and more often than not, conceding. We’re so easy to read it’s ridiculous. Aiyawatt wants us to play this way and only employs managers who play that way but doesn’t have the funding or the staff with the knowledge to source players that can do it effectively. We can all see it but he can’t. It’s proper bang your head against wall stuff isn’t it.

Monga really needs better players and a manager with an actual idea to improve him at this early stage. I can’t wait to see how he develops within an attacking side and a good manager. 
 

He played just like Mavadidi.  Stood still and tried to do too much until he lost it or passed backwards. The midfielders always pass behind the wingers, never into space. 

 

Mav is such a greedy player who won’t play others in.  Last week he ignored Aluko this time Monga who would’ve opened up space for Mav to be in a better position.

I think Ayew needs to start from now on. Lump it up to him and he holds it up and we play off him. Then get the ball wide because that's where the quality is. Just heard Cifuentes interview and not happy with some players. Although he didn't name them can't see Winks or Faes starting again

As soon as the first quick pass is ignored and JV starts to turn when pressed, you know that’s the start of the chaos. 
 

The new manager needs to bin him official. This style of football is all on him. The ball to the striker in the crowded area never worked apart from the counter with JV way out of position.
