mugshot Posted 23 August 2014 Posted 23 August 2014 The red kit looked fantastic. I really like the red kit is that wrong of me?
Webbo Posted 23 August 2014 Posted 23 August 2014 How are people trying to make GTF a scapegoat, and why does it still come as a shock when fans see his waist line. We all know he's tubby and he's not got any pace. He came on and played in a completely different position to what he usually plays against one of the best teams in the world. He didn't do anything to rave about but he hardly do anything wrong for some fans reactions, or to make him a scapegoat. He's not a scapegoat , the game was lost before he came on but when you're playing in the Prem and you're earning the money he's earning you should at least make sure your gut doesn't wobble when you run.
ScouseFox Posted 23 August 2014 Posted 23 August 2014 The red kit looked fantastic. I think it's important to take away positives like this from the game
DennisNedry Posted 23 August 2014 Posted 23 August 2014 They really will. So you'd drop King after both of his performances?
Grewks Posted 23 August 2014 Posted 23 August 2014 He's not a scapegoat , the game was lost before he came on but when you're playing in the Prem and you're earning the money he's earning you should at least make sure your gut doesn't wobble when you run. surely the job of nige and the coaching team? If he wasn't fit enough then he wouldn't have been on the pitch, injuries or no injuries.
Tielemans63 Posted 23 August 2014 Posted 23 August 2014 Lets put a few things into perspective. Nugent A lot of people on here call the nugent 'haters' for scapegoating him. But in reality, is a player who struggles to score goals in the championship, and a player renowned for needing 3-4 chances before finishing, a good player to rely on? Answer - no. It's probably the scapegoating of the guy after 180 mins of prem football that pisses people off.The fact he's been a very good player for us since he signed is why people are rightly (imho) quick to defend him.
Mad Dog Posted 23 August 2014 Posted 23 August 2014 Anybody watching the Everton - Arsenal game now, see the difference between Naismith's goal and Nugent's chance. Szczęsny so slow off his line vs Courtois. That really was a top save.
DanTheFox07 Posted 23 August 2014 Posted 23 August 2014 Hope everyone is logical about this defeat look at the player's they have at there disposal, we put up a good fight but ultimately Class makes the difference! I for one will not lose sleep over this loss and the chelsea Manager and fan's giving us praise is good enough for me today. Also we are missing key first team player's in Drinkwater, james, Knocky and vardy all of them make a big difference to our side. Expect us to get better and better, can't wait to see a fit Vardy play for us as think he will be a big player for us with his pace. Keep the faith Guy's
Buzzell Posted 23 August 2014 Posted 23 August 2014 Brilliant performance from the lads. Up against probably the best side in the PL and we showed them that we wasn't a walkover. Things could have been different if Nuge would have finished off the one v one. You need to take you're chances and unfortunately we didn't. Overall very happy even though we lost. Very positive start so far going into another tough test against the Gunners on Saturday. Ohh and the red kit is quite nice.

But in reality, is a player who struggles to score goals in the championship, and a player renowned for needing 3-4 chances before finishing, a good player to rely on? Answer - no. Performance Great, outstanding. But, it is far easier to play well in a match when you are expected to get nothing. When the pressure is on us to take points, like against west brom, west ham, stoke, villa, etc. It will be a totally different game. On today's showing Shurrle, Costa etc the same if not worse Forwards miss chances all the time, literally all the time. Nugent should have bagged one today but at least he's getting the chances, something we could have done with from our other forward today Nugent's role in the Championship provided a great workrate, never giving defences a second to rest and linking up really well with Dyer on the left or Drinkwater & Co pushing up on the edge of the box. He needs to adapt to the Premier League or at least get that real team player workrate back that benefitted the team so well last season Although as the left forward, without both his strike partner or Dyer on the left (desperate for a specialist left winger if we're to play 442) it will be difficult for him As for easy to play when you're expected to get nothing? Chelsea will spank plenty of those teams 4, 5 or more... So I wouldn't say it's easy!
Buzzell Posted 23 August 2014 Posted 23 August 2014 Really looking forward to seeing a fully fit midfield of Drinkwater and James with a fully fit Vardy up front with Ulloa in this league. We will deffinately suprise a few sides this year.
cuddly ken Posted 23 August 2014 Posted 23 August 2014 Relax everybody, any points from the top 6 or 8 teams will be a bonus. How we do this year will be decided on our results against the other clubs in this league. Drink beer, Kiss women and enjoy the ride.
ARTY_FOX Posted 23 August 2014 Posted 23 August 2014 I personally thought we didn't deserve to lose 2-0 we were brilliant today and Hammond was exceptional today.

Players rise to the occasion, and the level of your opponents. We had a stronger 11 fielded for most of our matches last season - Did we put in a better performance than the one today? Simply put - no.
HitchinFox Posted 23 August 2014 Posted 23 August 2014 Diego Costa, cost almost twice as much as our team today Don't be a Dychebag.

But in reality, is a player who struggles to score goals in the championship, and a player renowned for needing 3-4 chances before finishing, a good player to rely on? Answer - no. Nugent struggles to score goals in the Championship? 13, 15, 14, 20 - last four seasons at that level. I'm not going to call you out as a "hater" but I will say that you're invalidating your argument by coming out with utter dross like that.
lgfualol Posted 23 August 2014 Posted 23 August 2014 Some comments on reddit about GTF are hilarious "Some bloke from the park just came on for leicester" The bloke has good feet but bloody hell what a fattie

I'm not going to call you out as a "hater" but I will say that you're invalidating your argument by coming out with utter dross like that. ^This Also, the 3 or 4 chances argument is a daft one. Most strikers below the very top echelons will have a similar ratio I'm sure.

No keeper in world football should save a one on one. Whether it is courtois or logan. Nuge has a reputation of missing good chances, he did this season, he did last season. How can so many people be wrong when saying he isn't good enough? Vardy offers pace, ulloa offers presence.....Nuge offers missed chances, always has done always will do.
LCFC Rennie Posted 23 August 2014 Posted 23 August 2014 also why was our gaz taylor fletch trending on twitter? what did he do? or was it just cos he looks a bit plump? I had a look on it and it was all jokes about his weight. I'm not gonna lie, I was p*ssing myself.

Apologies, I didn't realise I can't include penalties - because, of course, that wouldn't adhere to your warped logic. 13,15,14, 11 - it still isn't bad whatsoever, if anything it's very similar to / better than Ulloa who you argue should be included ahead of him. I'll listen to reasonable and thoughtful criticisms of Nuge but his recent record at Championship level is not a negative stick to beat the guy with when arguing against his inclusion in the team, quite frankly it's bizarre.
Hungry Hungry Fox Posted 23 August 2014 Posted 23 August 2014 How many chances does Giroud miss for arsenal I bet it's a similar ratio to nuge
HitchinFox Posted 23 August 2014 Posted 23 August 2014 No keeper in world football should save a one on one. Erm. Wut?
