LeicesterLuke91 Posted 13 December 2014 Posted 13 December 2014 Yes we played better today but their goal could so easily have been avoided if we defended better. There is little or no tracking back of the opposition in our games. I'm not sure who was the guilty player today but from the image I've uploaded we had 9 players (10 including Hamer) in the 18 yard area. Man City had 6 and and couple were hardly in promising positions. If this is the trait we are going to carry out every week I can't see much hope of a chance at survival.
Unabomber Posted 13 December 2014 Posted 13 December 2014 Breaking news Leicester could have defended better to avoid conceding a goal.
sylofox Posted 13 December 2014 Posted 13 December 2014 Why not a lot on here had us down for a thumping 0-1 is not a bad result and something to work on.
Harry - LCFC Posted 13 December 2014 Posted 13 December 2014 I thought at the time that it was pretty unacceptable to leave a man free in that position. Wasilewski should've been there.
Dr The Singh Posted 13 December 2014 Posted 13 December 2014 FFS, Pearsons a defender, you would have thought he would have an idea about making his team to defend, because for the last 10 matches our defending has been awful!!
Guest Col city fan Posted 13 December 2014 Posted 13 December 2014 I think we have to get this into some sort of context. Yes, leaving a player like Lampard free is criminal. Anyone but him! BUT a goal like that is what multi million pound players give you. Keep the ball, wait, make the right pass....goal. Man City have done and will continue to score goals like that against much better opponents than us this season. People being critical of us this week need to take a reality check. We were a much improved side.
Gary Eatfood Posted 13 December 2014 Posted 13 December 2014 I thought at the time that it was pretty unacceptable to leave a man free in that position. Wasilewski should've been there. Not just any man but the Premier League's 4th highest goalscorer of all time.

ARTY_FOX Posted 13 December 2014 Posted 13 December 2014 It's is arguably frank lampards best asset, he's made a successful career by goasting into the box for a tap-in

Considering Pearson was a defender in his playing days I would assume he'd have a keen eye on keeping the amount of goals concededed to a minimum. I agree Man City have got the quality to score these goals week after week. But we used to always have such a tight defence. We didn't use to score many but we didn't concede to often either.
promised land Posted 13 December 2014 Posted 13 December 2014 Why not a lot on here had us down for a thumping 0-1 is not a bad result and something to work on. A lot around me did as well but I'm fairly sure if we had got back into it they could've quite easily stepped up another gear. One thing I've noticed about this season and the teams, they win free kicks by rolling around dieing on the grass far too often. We don't do that but most teams I've seen fake a lot of injuries just to get a free kick and the refs buy it most times. Our players stay on their feet and therefor rarely get the award. That is the way but it seems the Prem way is to act like a fairy.

Yes of course you are right. I was on about THIS week. Let's have it right, we limited a great team to sod-all really. IMO due mainly to the midfield being so much more solid. We actually won the midfield battle today overall. It was a moment of quality that won the game. Lampard is still great at that type of goal.

Pearson can't win, we try and play defensive and people moan we aren't attacking enough, attack and people moan we can't defend. Today we were decent.

Pearson can't win, we try and play defensive and people moan we aren't attacking enough, attack and people moan we can't defend. Today we were decent. I'm not slating the tactics. It was merely a look back at their goal. Today we played better but I can't recall any clear cut chances
Dynamogoon Posted 13 December 2014 Posted 13 December 2014 Played well, they are world class. I'm proud of em, no shock that they undid us with a single attack. Overall we were competitive, anyone who thinks different is havin a laugh
ADK Posted 13 December 2014 Posted 13 December 2014 I think we have to look at it on balance and say conceding a single goal is acceptable and of course we could have done better but I wouldn't blame the defence. They also scored out of a bit of a mini break, our usual shape was disrupted and Manchester City got forward and were ruthless.
Grewks Posted 13 December 2014 Posted 13 December 2014 I'm not slating the tactics. It was merely a look back at their goal. Today we played better but I can't recall any clear cut chances We created more chances than they did...so F**k off.
cjslcfc Posted 13 December 2014 Posted 13 December 2014 We created more chances than they did...so F**k off. Bit unnecessary! Let's be honest here. Neither side created much. Yaya had the one shot and we put a bit of pressure and threatened them without properly testing Hart. It was a good performance but we still lost. We need points, no matter how we get them. I'm happy with the performance but not the result.
Clever Fox Posted 13 December 2014 Posted 13 December 2014 That was truly a magnificent performance from our team, to a man they played well. The margin of difference was the individual talent of their multi talented team. We were caught on the counter and Nasri had the skill to hold it long enough to pick his pass to Lampard. If I was to be critical it would be only that our left side didn't come across to cover quickly enough. Schlupp was again ball watching instead of getting into the box to help out. But that's me being picky. With performances like that and a sprinkling of Talent in January we will turn things around. Keep the faith.
The Doctor Posted 13 December 2014 Posted 13 December 2014 I thought at the time that it was pretty unacceptable to leave a man free in that position. Wasilewski should've been there. Watching it on MOTD, Wasyl repeatedly points at Lampard for Simpson to pick up. Why he's not...

See, this is something I have a really hard time with: People who don't differentiate between us in the Championship and us in the Premier League. It's a completely different ballgame in terms of opposition and level of play here - why do some people still expect us to steamroll one of the (arguably) best leagues in the world the way we did in the Championship, where it took Pearson and his squad a couple of years to work out a suitable strategy in order to succeed and achieve automatic promotion. In the top flight, we are faced with the crème de la crème in football - bar Bayern, PSG, Barcelona and Real Madrid, the best teams in this league possess the most lethal strike forces you'll ever see. Given that opposition, I think we've held up quite well so far.

lgfualol Posted 13 December 2014 Posted 13 December 2014 I didnt realise Lampard was playing until he scored Garth Crooks team of the week cus he scored

ScouseFox Posted 14 December 2014 Posted 14 December 2014 not sure why Wes lets nasri turn, then run, then run some more, then run a bit further then get a cross in?
