Leicester City v Yeovil Town Post Match Thread 1 - 1

[Bluetintedspecs]

Yesterday was our own doing, with 4 or 5 players who have been excellent playing poorly. Put it down to a bad day at the office, roll up our sleeves and pull the rug out from underneath Burnley on Saturday! COYB

The worrying thing last night was that we were clueless going forward.

.

Clueless? I don't think so. We missed two great chances in the first ten minutes, this then translated into overplaying with the ball thinking the goal would come eventually. When they scored, the players felt the pressure and they were poor performances galore.

We unlocked the Yeovil defence twice early on and twice in the second half, it was poor execution and a stinking attitude which cost us.

A stinking attitude?

Yeah you know that stinking attitude where we wanted to go forward but didn't really want to score lol.

We created far more chances last night and were the better side.

 

 

We were fairly poor, whilst yeovil were underestimated by the fans (not the playing staff) put in their best shift of the season. They were miles better than blackpool, charlton and barnsley.

 

 

Just because you score an equaliser in the last minute does not mean you were 'lucky'. We deserved a point, and if it was based on clear-cut chances we deserved all 3. But yet again the curse of taking them is still evident in our play. Move on, a point closer.

I was mocking Cardiff Fox. I don't really think we have a stinking attitude when it comes to going forward!

Just a quick question, what was the formation when Dyer replaced Wasilewski?

1-2-2-2-1-2

 

(morgan-shlupp, de laet - drinky, james - knocky, dyer - mahrez - wood, grandad

3-4-1-2 ??

Looked like a 3-4-3 to me.

[Harry - LCFC]

Shakespeare said we had Drinkwater and James sitting with Knockaert/Mahrez playing in behind the strikers

The vibe was clear that first 70 minutes we didn't match the same attitude as Yeovil. They won the second phase of play so many times. That's largely down to workrate.

I'd call it complacency. And Yeovil were clearly the more clever and ready side on Tuesday night.

Goals are up now on YT:

Whatever our formation was it was something that Sunday League Hipster would be delighted with, so I'm happy to take a draw on that basis alone.

 

I can't believe players' attitudes came into question. There was absolutely nothing wrong with our application.

Not read the thread, but just wondering if anyone has touched on the matter of Nige being in hospital being a contributing factor?

I'm not suggesting they were blubbering like babies as I'm sure he was fine... but I'd be very surprised if it didn't affect the match preparation and pre match training, ect....
