MC Prussian Posted 5 August 2014 Posted 5 August 2014 Unbeaten in six friendlies. This can only lead one way... Overconfidence, misled early hope of Premier League survival, champagne bottles smashed to pieces en masse in the Leicester City centre, collective jubilations including mass *** in school cantinas, prompting R. (Rob) Kelly to cite his famous "smashing bunch of lads" which leads to the sale of a special "The Friendlies Kings" CD distributed by four non-blondes. In short, we're doomed. But still, we can now report positive signals from Ulloa and the team. And that the systems work with no matter whom's up front. Or so one might think. Next stop: Werder Bremen.
Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 5 August 2014 Posted 5 August 2014 Couldn't pull a more French face if he tried!
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 5 August 2014 Posted 5 August 2014 The thought of Vardy being regularly wasted out wide this season is not something I want to entertain.

lcfcsnow Posted 5 August 2014 Posted 5 August 2014 Just further evidence why the kit should be all blue, far smarter than when we're in white shorts.
MC Prussian Posted 5 August 2014 Posted 5 August 2014 Sometimes I'm convinced you're on drugs. Everybody on here is.
David Guiza Posted 5 August 2014 Posted 5 August 2014 Took a while to get going, but we looked comfortable after that. Ulloa really looked the part for me once he scored, went to ground easy a couple of times but won more than his fare share of headers and unlucky not to score a third on a couple of occasions. Danny and James will make a big impression next season I think. Drinky in particular, goes from strength to strength. Liam Moore also.
Haydos Posted 5 August 2014 Posted 5 August 2014 Can see Vardy or Schlupp being played out wide if injuries. But a cheeky loan bid for Julian Green wouldn't go a miss http://www.starsandstripesfc.com/usa-americans-abroad/2014/7/16/5909735/julian-green-bayern-munich-roster http://www.sportingnews.com/soccer/story/2014-07-24/transfer-news-rumors-julian-green-bayern-munich-loan-usmnt-world-cup-2014

The Doctor Posted 5 August 2014 Posted 5 August 2014 Knockaerts face - looks like he's trying to be impressed but smug at the same time
MC Prussian Posted 5 August 2014 Posted 5 August 2014 Knockaerts face - looks like he's trying to be impressed but smug at the same time Predestined for a Photoshop job on a picture of a uniformed Napoleon Bonaparte:
SemperEadem Posted 5 August 2014 Posted 5 August 2014 Enjoyable game. Goals well taken, GTF had a very decent game. Hope Knocky is ok as he looked in a lot of pain. Scouts from Burnley there tonight plus Steve Bruce and his son in attendance.
Soar Fox Posted 5 August 2014 Posted 5 August 2014 Actually had to laugh out loud walking out the ground. Rotherham fan: "Leicester don't look very good do they? They will struggle next season only put three past us and they look very weak defensively". Ok mate. And I'd agree with the Rotherham fan that said that. Of course we will struggle it's to be expected as a newly promoted team.And the majority of people on here are a little concerned about our defence.
Captain... Posted 5 August 2014 Posted 5 August 2014 Great that Ulloa scored, but more interested in how he played. Was he just standing up front waiting for service or chasing players down, coming deep to collect the ball and linking up with the midfield?
Leicester Lass Posted 5 August 2014 Posted 5 August 2014 We are unbelievably bad at defending set pieces. Going to be a real weakness next season.
Soar Fox Posted 5 August 2014 Posted 5 August 2014 We are unbelievably bad at defending set pieces. Going to be a real weakness next season. Yep. Something that we've been struggling defensively with the last couple of seasons and it's not been rectified.
Callabinho Posted 5 August 2014 Posted 5 August 2014 Great that Ulloa scored, but more interested in how he played. Was he just standing up front waiting for service or chasing players down, coming deep to collect the ball and linking up with the midfield? He's not that type of player, and in the premier league you won't get away with two front men chasing everything, his job is to get himself into dangerous areas and score goals. As he did today.
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 5 August 2014 Posted 5 August 2014 This defending bad at set pieces was evident last season and got papered over. At premier level we'll get severely punished by this and we don't ever seem to work on it
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 5 August 2014 Posted 5 August 2014 Shame Upson's been out of this pre-season, have a feeling he'd sort us out no end at set plays.
Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot Posted 5 August 2014 Posted 5 August 2014 Ulloa scores 2, another win, can't really ask for more. Agree with Miquel, but even so definitely need to try and sort that out asap, at least Hansen won't be having a go at us every week if we don't.
Hugo Sanchez Posted 5 August 2014 Posted 5 August 2014 Just got back, was alot better then MK Dons. Rotherham were up for it and it showed first 20 minutes. We settled and started showing abit of quality going forwards and Ulloa first goal he did very well and easy finish for his 2nd. Liam Moore had good solid game, looks very mature these days in defence. 2nd Half we started poor and their goal was coming but was a good thing because we woke up again and started going forward and a well worked 3rd goal started by Tom Hopper and a good cross from Konchesky who put in a few very good crosses tbf. Decent ground, weird because you can see Millmoor from the new ground. Still with the floodlights and everything.
AKCJ Posted 5 August 2014 Posted 5 August 2014 Don't quite know if this will work. SSN highlights. Edit, It didn't.
