Phube Posted 16 August 2014 Share Posted 16 August 2014 To summarise in one word so far, considering we are at home. Embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benji Posted 16 August 2014 Share Posted 16 August 2014 Feels like a win. Credit where it's due, Hammond and King, well played! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crinklyfox Posted 16 August 2014 Share Posted 16 August 2014 We played a class team with an understrength side and got a point. That's a good result now and we can take confidence forward into future games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityfanlee23 Posted 16 August 2014 Share Posted 16 August 2014 very fortunate to get a draw, but with both our CMs out, thats as good as we could have got! Both Morgan and Moore rocks. De Laet, Hammond, Nugent - all not up to Prem level for me Come on arriba, Even I wont write off nugent this quickly.... 90 minutes into the season. De laet needs to settle again for me, nerves I think, Wouldnt take baines on looks like he lacked some confidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPH Posted 16 August 2014 Share Posted 16 August 2014 Some good performances out there today. especially considering I don't think that's our finished team - more signings to come... But not a bad game for Moore to play considering Roy Hodgson was in the stands..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aus Fox Posted 16 August 2014 Share Posted 16 August 2014 Play like that every week and we will have no worries, one of the best sides in the league, no Drinky, James, albrighton and Vardy. Very proud! Moore and Morgan immense! De Laet was poor I thought, bit nervous on the big occasion. Konchesky was brilliant.

Buggsteam Posted 16 August 2014 Share Posted 16 August 2014 Thought Mahrez was quality to, Some great runs. Morgan is a rock, but watching that Moore was by far our best player. Ulloa is of the mark and looked good. Don't sell our Wood. Great finish. I went mental with that goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indierich06 Posted 16 August 2014 Share Posted 16 August 2014 Very pleasing aspects to that performance - everyone stepped up and I was glad to see our defence perform so well, as that's the area I was most worried about. There wasn't much we could have done for their goals really, thought Wes and Liam were exemplary today, Liam Moore looks the real deal. Bench looked a bit poor, but good performances from Schlupp, Wood and even Hammond off the bench. Still think we need 2-3 new players to come in. Slimani/Deeney and Cambiasso as well as another defender IMO. Will be great to see what we can do when Albrighton, Vardy, James and Drinks are back - think Vardy would have loved it today, he would have had Distin and Jags on toast, they were so slow. Overall I think a draw is a great result and it sets us up well for the difficult games we've got ahead. Just need a couple of additions and I'll be very happy with our squad.

crisp monster Posted 16 August 2014 Share Posted 16 August 2014 Brilliant result considering the missing players - well happy with that - I'm off for a couple of cold ones in Le Touquet to celebrate :-) - only a couple mind @ €7 a pint!!!

casablancas Posted 16 August 2014 Share Posted 16 August 2014 very fortunate to get a draw, but with both our CMs out, thats as good as we could have got! Both Morgan and Moore rocks. De Laet, Hammond, Nugent - all not up to Prem level for me Mate get a grip of ya senses. We just got a point and no we were not fortunate. Hammond actually never looked outta place. Nugent will be an asset and he will bag. De Laet looked much better when knocky was rightly removed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petchy Posted 16 August 2014 Share Posted 16 August 2014 Fantastic point for the lads! Really felt lady luck was against when we lost James pre-match, and then Drinkwater in the first half, but the work rate and determination was clear for everyone to see. Only thing that does concern me is that we do look a little thin on the ground and need some more depth. Great performance, and things are looking good!

Rasmic123 Posted 16 August 2014 Share Posted 16 August 2014 Great result, very composed finish from Wood and once we got into our flow a bit, we looked decent. Plenty of work still to be done but nice to get off to a good result especially considering how good everton were in the 1st half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr whippy Posted 16 August 2014 Share Posted 16 August 2014 Wes Morgan has been arrested shortly after the match, he claims he didn't know he had 28 million quid in his back pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City_4_Life Posted 16 August 2014 Share Posted 16 August 2014 Happy with that good start. Morgan and Moore both best players on the pitch IMO, also happy for Wood to score fair play to him. Shame about Drinkwater really hope the injuries to him and James aint too serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooseBreath Posted 16 August 2014 Share Posted 16 August 2014 Superb start. Couldn't do much about their goals because the assists were pure luck and finishes unstoppable, showed great spirit and endeavour to come back from behind twice despite missing key players and facing a ref with a strong bigger club bias. We seemed to grow into the game and that will have done our confidence the world of good. Couldn't have asked for much better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox in the North Posted 16 August 2014 Share Posted 16 August 2014 Great result! Well done to Hammond and king for stepping in. They're definitely not our 1st choice and Hammond especially gets a bit of flack, but they did well today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozwin Posted 16 August 2014 Share Posted 16 August 2014 Best team performance you'll see all day. Cracking result against the odds and they pulled it out of the bag. Wes Morgan marshaling a £28M striker, what an absolute moster performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc_star Posted 16 August 2014 Share Posted 16 August 2014 Come on arriba, Even I wont write off nugent this quickly.... 90 minutes into the season. De laet needs to settle again for me, nerves I think, Wouldnt take baines on looks like he lacked some confidence de Laet wasn't the issue Knockaert moved onto that side for that spell when Everton were well on top, Baines took the piss on the overlap, de Laet was isolated time after time with no one tracking back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durnerz Posted 16 August 2014 Share Posted 16 August 2014 I wouldn't have paid £28 never mind £28mill for Lukaku, Peter Sutcliffe had a more gentle first touch. Great performances, Mahrez did his duty tracking Baines which is something he will have to get used to, our style remains and looks tailor made for this level, very impressed.

SOCCERROO FOX Posted 16 August 2014 Share Posted 16 August 2014 After Drinky went off and the way we finished the 1st half thought, didn't expect that the 2nd half. Played well and didn't look out of our depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobHawk Posted 16 August 2014 Share Posted 16 August 2014 Wes and Liam made Lukaku look like Trevor Benjamin, colossal at the back. Other than the goals, Kasper not really tested, 2 very good finishes though. Reserve midfield looked very solid Konchesky solid at left back Chris wood comes on and scores and jeff should have done Not out of our depth and looking like we can really mix it with the big teams, a great point and with a few more players in the squad and a few back from injury we will be looking much stronger! All in all a very good performance and result and plenty of positives! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
