Post Match Sunderland 2 Leicester 1

[Jeff]

Okazaki with our goal.

I posted the following on 11th Sept and got a right hammering by all of you. Not so far away from the truth though was it?

"Our priority should be to get some points on the board as early as possible in the league. Are we so arrogant as to take our place in the Premier League for granted already?

So far, we're not doing a good enough job. Our next three away games are Man Utd, Chelsea and Spurs. If we play anything like we have done so far. they will be three confidence sapping defeats.

This means our home matches become ever more important. Immediately following our first five Champions League games are absolutely huge home league games that we can't afford to go into half arsed because we've battered ourselves in the week.

If we prioritise the Champions League, I think we're heading for a relegation scrap because we won't pick up enough points from these matches and then we'll be stuck down there. If we make it through the Champions League group and then get battered by the first decent side we play, as is inevitable, will it be worth it? I don't think so."

 

[MerseyFox]

He has to change the defense. No reason why they are still all playing. Either Huth or Morgan needs to be dropped.

 

[homer]

Awful defending lets us down yet again

I'm off to celebrate a successful karate grading, Leicester City can **** off.

 

[City Fan]

If Okazaki and Gray don't start the next league game, I will be livid.

 

[Miles Away]

Midfield absolutely overrun. Claudio has to take responsibility for thinking King and Amartey can do a similar job as Drinkwater and Kante.

We have to become horrible and hard to beat. Quickly.

 

[Micky]

A total load of shambolic shit. I hope you lot realise we have just been beaten by a ****ing relegation contender. We are an embarrassment. All the success of last year and we are relying on Any King and Daniel Amartey in midfield. Too many players looking like they don't give a shit and Ranieri is slowly starting to look like he ain't got a ****ing clue. Keep playing the over paid wankers who aren't performing.

I am ****ing fuming.

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

Well, you know you're shit when you lose to Sunderland. Piss poor result. I didn't think it was going too badly up until their first goal, except that King and Amartey were both, negative, lacking in energy and just generally anonymous throughout. We created a few chances but lacking any real cutting edge.

So poor this season. Even if we disregard last year as a fluke or one-off and go into this season expecting a relegation scrap - it's still not been very good. Ranieri hasn't got a clue how to change things (and in some cases seems to be blissfully ignorant) and I get the feeling we're plodding along hoping that we can make some additions in January and that will work.

 

[Joe_Fox]

We look absolutely toothless! We badly need a midfielder as King and Amartey just aren't up to it. I just cannot see where we are going to get goals from any more. Vardy is getting no service at all, Slimani is poor with his feet and had no headers on goal today. Out of West Brom and Middlesbrough at home and Sunderland away I would expect nine points. To get a measely and lucky one point is woeful. We are in stinking form and if we don't turn it around very quickly then we are ****ed. Seriously, we'll get relegated in this form. It's actually scary to think about. Schmeichel and Drinkwater can't return quick enough. At least we have an easy game next in the Premier League. Oh wait.....

 

[glyn]

Wow this is hurting now. The one thing I wanted to avoid this season was being an embarrassment to the tag of champions.

I wasn't one for wholesale changes, but to keep ten of the recent team and not to even think about changing formation is crazy and smacks of arrogance.

If only it was a simple as EPL over UCL. No, that time has passed and now its without some fundamental change, be it tactics, management, line up or a combo of we will be be down.

 

[Jimmy Lad]

It's between us, Sunderland, Hull, Burnley and Swansea for the drop. It's easy money betting against us in every game at the moment.. so so predictable

More likely off to the Safe house to get away from people posting this type of thing.

 

[lcfcrules]

So much for being tinker man, week in week out the same side serve up a shit loads of hot steaming turd and yet the same fecking side keeps getting named week after week

 

[yackandandah]

Well that was fun wannit? Where do we go from here? Other than down.

First half OK, no brilliant but OK. Then they scramble a goal and once again we fall apart. We've got to get a grip. We don't have too many options so the lot we've got have got to get it together. CR has got to reach into his bag of tricks and get these guys playing like a team again.

 

[fitz]

We're ****ed.

 

[FIF]

Sunderland won't be going down. And neither will we.

Zieler played well. Not to blame for either goal
Amartey played well - just because he's not Kanté or Drinky that doesn't make him bad.

Vardy has been playing badly all season and CR has stuck with him through it all. Time to be dropped.
King will be replaced as soon as another midfielder is fit enough to play.

More likely off to the Safe house to get away from people posting this type of thing.

Before heading off to the Safe house, I'll take any positives or shoots of hope you might be able to offer, I'm feeling desperate by our position

Unmissable stuff
