Night Air Posted 27 July 2013 Posted 27 July 2013 Schmeichel, James and Morgan have been great so far.
cc_star Posted 27 July 2013 Posted 27 July 2013 OK going forward 3 midfielders are dropping off and allowing them time to make worldclass passes to worldclass forwards - And it's this which is costing us. Means they're not on the front foot when the ball goes to our forwards either leaving them isolated against 4 players Couple of worrying performances, in particular SSL, Konch & Whitbread - although not sure how much to read into it baring in mind the opposition's quality.
lgfualol Posted 27 July 2013 Posted 27 July 2013 I think Whitbread has been passing well. Vardy's first touch is hilarious.
Guest ttfn Posted 27 July 2013 Posted 27 July 2013 Get Knockaert on. Some poor bastards have paid money to watch us chase shadows for 45 minutes so far. The least they deserve is a bit of entertainment.
Legend_in_blue Posted 27 July 2013 Posted 27 July 2013 It's a friendly against a Ligue 1 side with loads of class players, a team that is trying to emulate PSG. We've had some pretty good spells and there's promising signs. Defensively, we look already rather rattled. But I suppose it's because our centre-backs are not yet used to play a 3-5-2. Ok, I'll go easy. However, both Knoch and De Laet have found themselves in plenty of space only to totally fluff their crosses. They have the pace/stamina to play the positions but the final ball is shocking.
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 27 July 2013 Posted 27 July 2013 I know Vardy is on the field, but why isn't he trying to play?
jamesmilner Posted 27 July 2013 Posted 27 July 2013 Whitbread should play rugby , ginger and lumps it lumps it lumps it .
HoustonFox Posted 27 July 2013 Posted 27 July 2013 Keep the formation but get Danns on for King, Waggy or Vardy and Zoom for Konch please. King for a rest? I think he has been ok when he's had the ball. Konchesky has been absolutely dire. Vardy for Waggy agreed.
Babylon Posted 27 July 2013 Posted 27 July 2013 Konch is being konch giving the ball away, the other two ate learning their positions and up against some of the best in the world, won't be too harsh... Vardy, bleughh.
Father Ted Posted 27 July 2013 Posted 27 July 2013 People slagging Whitbread off? Really? I think he's had a good game so far. As for Konchesky... Can we PLEASE sell him or loan him out or somebody even kidnap him? If he plays another season at LB/LWB then there is no way we will be close to promotion
sphericalfox Posted 27 July 2013 Posted 27 July 2013 It's clear that Dyer will be the game changer....
Babylon Posted 27 July 2013 Posted 27 July 2013 King for a rest? I think he has been ok when he's had the ball. Konchesky has been absolutely dire. Vardy for Waggy agreed.Just want to see Danns with James. Should have added I want knocky on for Drinky.
cuddly ken Posted 27 July 2013 Posted 27 July 2013 It's painfully obvious that SSL and Whitbread are nowhere near good enough. It's painfully obvious that you have failed to notice Morgan was at fault for both goals. Caught napping for both.
TheUltimateWinner Posted 27 July 2013 Author Posted 27 July 2013 Konchesky and Vardy just proving there are now more suitable players in their positions. James... I love this man. Whitbread & SSL are playing okay in my opinion, Morgan didn't follow his man for the second... 1st I need to watch a replay.
roblcfc84 Posted 27 July 2013 Posted 27 July 2013 Done ok so far. People need to stop being so harsh. SSL and ZW have looked nervous against a 50m striker...shock horror they must be crap. I actually think ZW passed the ball fairly well that half.
Molson Canadian Posted 27 July 2013 Posted 27 July 2013 steve walsh looks in great shape! perhaps we can bring him in on a trial i'm sure he could show some of the lads a thing or two out on the pitch still!
Father Ted Posted 27 July 2013 Posted 27 July 2013 Just want to see Danns with James. Should have added I want knocky on for Drinky. This would provide so much more balance. A greater intensity and closing down and midfield as well as an attacking intent!
Babylon Posted 27 July 2013 Posted 27 July 2013 It's painfully obvious that you have failed to notice Morgan was at fault for both goals. Caught napping for both. It wasn't even Morgan's man for the first so how do you work that out?
NewburyFox Posted 27 July 2013 Posted 27 July 2013 Whitbread's passing has been alright so far. Vardy's first touch is embarrassing. Konch doesn't have the legs to play LWB. Formation has worked ok so far, De Laet will be a threat. We need a new CB.
Kitchandro Posted 27 July 2013 Posted 27 July 2013 The Falcao bumming is hilarious The bloke has done nothing but score a tap in against Leicester in a friendly and from that they think he's 'worth every penny' of £50 million . When tackled by Wes Morgan Hinchcliffe said something along the lines of 'that's his greatness'. When having a shot blocked he was praised for the world class skill of getting the ball away from his feet. Vardy's first touch is so non-league. He actually looked decent at times once he got it under control, but he can control it further than I can kick it. Wood also looks a bit tentative with his touch but has done ok. Surprisingly I've not noticed King much. James has looked sharp and still looks our best player, carrying on from the back end of last season. De Laet is typical De Laet, very dangerous going forward until he's asked to cross, not much use in defence. I think we're a bit unfortunate to be 2-0 down tbh.
cc_star Posted 27 July 2013 Posted 27 July 2013 Before the game, Stringer Tweeted we will be making 7 subs on 60mins & changing to 442 Although seem to be making them at half time.
Father Ted Posted 27 July 2013 Posted 27 July 2013 It wasn't even Morgan's man for the first so how do you work that out? King's man I think and Drinkwater missed a header at the front. Two chances to clear that. Poor defending.
Legend_in_blue Posted 27 July 2013 Posted 27 July 2013 The 352 works when you press. So, opposition aside, why aren't we at least doing the basics right? Just isn't good enough work rate imo.
