one decent season for Leicester and despite some glimpses flatters to deceive

By and large our success has been achieved from recruiting players from foreign clubs with a few misses along the way of course.

No the team needs new tactics, football isn’t about fancy dans, it’s about pace and power, mixing it up, going long when you have to, we could start by buying a tall striker in January and changing it up abit.

Exactly but Pep will never go long so a plan b is not going to happen.

His friendship and association with the DOF and CEO will count for nought in the end and given they were no doubt driving forces in getting Pep to the club there tenure at least in part is tied to Pep's.

I hope your right, but from the outside , Pep has far too much control along with his mates.

He should be asked some very serious question about where this team is going, it's a long time since this team played well .

I am afraid you are correct sides have no fear playing us anymore not in the premiership at least none of them.

Not really sure if it is they have sussed us out or realise they don't have to over respect us home or away.

Pep is not infallible far from it and has continued that shocking record of ours when we trail at half time.

Sides " soaking up our possession game " and then in a matter of seconds the ball is the back of out net is a familiar tune and it has to end because we risk a more than embarrassing season if we continue down this flawed path.

Pep is much better than that and despite our many personnel and positional weaknesses so is our team.

He is being out thought and out coached by managers that will never have the advantages he has.

Our side almost on mass is just not buying into his MO any more.
 
I'm half cut so forgive any spelling errors!

A typical Jose performance against a top side. Soak up pressure and try a smash and grab. Its effective and worked.

Anyway, first half I thought you played quite well, but all in all, a lot of huff and puff without really testing Lloris at all.

Second half you were easily dealt with. It looked so toothless and bar that header (Jesus?) we never looked in any trouble.

Edersen seems to have god like status amongst the Bluemoon forum, but just like the champions league he could have easily prevented them two goals.

Laporte made a huge error wanting to duel with Kane, he dragged him out of position for the first goal and basically couldn't deal with him afterwards, without Kane really trying at all.

Walker got some pelters I noticed, but the amount of times he recovered and won the ball back was impressive.

Torres actually looked good, but went off the boil after half hour.

I couldn't believe it went Kane went on a run (with the ball) and he looked like lightning, which is shocking because he's lost so much pace, then I realised it was Rodri chasing him. Either he's carrying an injury or he has cement in his boots

It makes me wonder if Pep had made the first move for the subs it could have been a different result.

The best I've seen a City team play against us was the 5-1 with Mancini, you absolutely blew us away, I've never been so impressed with a performance like that. But today was the worst I've seen you play against us in years. Yes, you've had off days in the past, but without really testing our goalie at all is worrying for you guys.

Either everyone is getting better or you're regressing badly.

Apologies if I come across as a ****, but all in all I am one!!!!

More the latter I would suggest no side is out of game with us these days.

Poor transfer activity has well and truly caught up with us.

The old guard are consigned to history the replacements are not buying into Pep's MO and Pep has gone right off the boil and like the side is easy to combat on match days.

Hopefully this is as bad as it gets as bad as it is.
 
Formulaic, boring to watch and opposite issue to last season. I don't know what the answer to this is but I hope pep can sort it before we fall too far behind. We can't get through packed defences and play so high we always get stung on the counter. Painful to watch now as we know it's coming if we don't score first. Even then...
 
I hope pep can sort it !!!!!!!!!!! How many times I read this sentence? While it is obvious that Pep failed so far to solve it. because he prefers players who can pass the ball over players who are technically good for their position, he does not control the plyers anymore, although he knows the problem as he himself mentioned after the game but he could not offer the solution, at least not yet. That is why we have been struggling since last year. one dimensional game plan without any alternatives, and poor recruitment, and do not have the ability to change.
 
Having slept on it I actually don't feel that bad.

We controlled the game & limited Spurs to minimal attacks. I feel the Laporte goal was 50/50 and came at a moment where we were dominant and had it stood I feel we'd have gone on to win.

Spurs didn't have a corner, had 30% possession at home, played like a team bottom of the league needing to defend for their lives. Shit house (Classic Moureen) tactics imo but it works against us far to often.

Ok we didn't create loads of clear cut chances but we did have some, Rodri header straight at keeper, Jesus chance straight at keeper, goal disallowed & many times where we made an extra pass. What cost us was the defensive howlers, we shouldn't be conceding those 2 goals and Ederson should do better.

Mahrez needs to be dropped to the bench as he offers absolutely nothing, good player but not what we need.

8 games in and 12pts isn't good but it's very early doors, Liverpool are only 5pts ahead, Leicester 6, Spurs 8 but have played a game more. If we can get a consistent run together and win a few on the bounce we'll be back in a good place I'm certainly not giving up.

Back to my PS5, happy Sunday blues, keep faith. :)

Khaldoon has stated before that Top 4 is the bare minimum. If we fall too far away, not even Pep will escape the sack.

I think you need to go back to bed, we have been crap for 18 months.

Same problems every week, dominate possession without ever looking like scoring , then give away soft goals.

The possession stat should be banned, it's meaningless and irrelevant if you don't put the ball in the back of the net.

Football is a simple game and has been ruined by the stat merchants.

After some calm thinking, I don’t think the performance was extremely bad. Certainly not our worst performance this season but we have seen this type of game before.

Every opposition player defending with the striker playing as cdm and no space for kdb to exploit. Our players are not super humans that would always go past 4 or 5 defenders. I won’t blame our players because they are always outnumbered and I can’t expect them to always go past 2-4 defenders. Maybe we conceded cheap goals but 1 point does not really help, we needed 3 points but didn’t score.

we have to stop trying to break down our opponents sometimes if it isn’t working. We have to force them to come at us so they can expand and we hit them on the break because it seems we are struggling to break down low blocks. Teams are too compact and I don’t expect it to change cause it is working for them.

I think debruyne is good but overated, he



Taking the first game out of the equation we have scored 7 goals in 7! That is a scary stat considering players at our disposal! Relegation form! Kdb aguero sterling etc...what is going so badly wrong?

Have to agree. Although I think we all knew as fans watching Kompany, Fernandinho, Silva, Aguero ect all these are one of a kind and to replace this calibre of player is a huge huge task.

KDB has always been overrated. He's a good player, has a good cross and pass but doesn't influence a team like yaya or D.SIlva did. He always looks over-stretched in his work. Silva had that cold efficiency even in the tightest of spaces and unlike Gundo, always looked to be offensive not simply the square pass

Crap for 18 months but still managed 106 league goals and a 2nd place finish. Add some goals back to our game and we'll do just fine, it's just finding the goals.

Kev is overrated? What the actual fuck? Worst piece of shit I've ever read in my life. Kev doesn't influence games? Have u seen his fucking stats since we signed him?

I hope this is a Clarkie, if not you're simply not a blue and you're on the WUM.
 
Well, any other season, would have thought title hopes gone.

But it's a unique season, with new league leaders every week + we actually didn't play bad.

As Kev said, the missing cutting edge is obvious. Hope we get the response midweek
 
My boys are 5 years old. This is the first game that I managed to convince them to watch it togheter. What a game...
