Match Thread AEK Athens v Leicester

[homer]

Oh FFS

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

Great cross from Thomas. Seems to be his strong suit, surprised Brendan doesn't play him more often especially given we're not overly strong at KB but maybe he needs work on the defensive side of his game. Good lesson for him today.

 

[Skitzo]

FFS why do we start so slow every time

 

[homer]

Nearly another FFS

Morgan just too slow to be on the pitch in a back three

 

[Miles Away]

Uh oh.

 

[popillius]

Really should be two all. We are appalling at the back since the break.

 

[glyn]

Thought that was going to be a Bournemouth moment.

Agreed. Wes is knackered. I love him but he can't be relied on anymore.

 

[Jeff]

That sentence if four words too long.

he wouldn't be any better in a back 4 either

 

[popillius]

I don't think it is helping having Justin in the back 3.

 

[glyn]

We don’t have much choice at the moment though do we.

 

[homer]

We don’t have much choice at the moment though do we.

Not playing a back three is a choice

 

[Jeff]

Nearly a second for Choudhury. Dodgy keeper.

 

[Skitzo]

Not playing a back three is a choice

not with Wes on the pitch, you're playing a 3 in part to cover for his lack of pace

 

[Jeff]

When's the last time (before today) we had two teenagers on the pitch?

 

[Skitzo]

When's the last time (before today) we had two teenagers on the pitch?

surely Barnes and Chilwell together at somepoint?

 

[homer]

not with Wes on the pitch, you're playing a 3 in part to cover for his lack of pace

It’s not working

 

[tedfoxxx]

Maddison has looked on a different planet to our two Europa League opponents so far. Just wish he could get on the ball more.

 

[Skitzo]

It’s not working

no, but a back 4 would be worse, at least we have 2 quick players to try and cover for him, if Evans or Soyuncu were playing I suspect we'd have gone to a 4
