Match Thread Blackburn v Leicester

[Brown Nose]

What I don't understand about playing from the back when the opponent presses us high is why we do it anyway?

Surely the point of it is that when they press high the space is further up the pitch so the keeper should always play it longer?

To be fair, Hermansen does mix his passes up but that was such an obvious example of it being done totally wrong.

 

[TommyK]

Another basketball game.

 

[homer]

Another basket case game.

Yep

 

[tedfoxxx]

Absolute ****ing chaos. The worst example of this kind of football. We badly need to get a grip.

 

[popillius]

He won't. Because that's why we bought him.

That was a stupid pass through

But, similarly, they are the tactics Enzo is leaning at, and if you can draw the opposition in that way, you pull them up the pitch.

It has serious risks. We simply need to manage those better

There is a difference between being good with your feet and with your distribution, and waiting until the very last possible second to get rid of the ball, putting yourself and the defence under extreme pressure. He must move it quicker and he has to be aware of the risks. He's been incredibly lucky not to cost us at least twice before to my recollection, probably more.

It's stupid and unnecessary.

 

[Miles Away]

They’ve got the measure of us here.

I’ve been impressed with Blackburn every time I’ve seen them.

 

[M17TT C]

Yep, no control of the game at all.

Blackburn looking much more likely to score than we are.

We can't get going at all.

 

[SilverFox]

Another basketball game.

We’d be battered in the premier league.

 

[SilverFox]

Also this kit is disgusting.

 

[popillius]

Fatawu isn't going to see 90 minutes here. He's got a red card coming soon if he isn't careful.

 

[SilverFox]

It’s like a continuation of the Liverpool game. It’s just horrible to watch.

 

[homer]

This

Is

Wank

 

[Miles Away]

It’s all a bit Brendan so far.

 

[Brown Nose]

This is what happens when you rotate too much from game to game.

You start very sluggish and lacking in structure.

Players look a bit lost.

 

[TommyK]

Patience...well beat these.

 

[homer]

Ndidi, Winks, Justin, Ricardo all complete dog filth

 

[Miles Away]

Vardy is playing well. Adjusting quite nicely to the role.

 

[M17TT C]

It’s all a bit Brendan so far.

Just about to say the same, lots of possession at the back.

Completely limp in attack and seem to be opened up at ease.

 

[SilverFox]

I still can’t get over how sloppy we were in giving away that goal. As crap as I have seen.

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

Still looks like we're trying to grow into the game but it's all a bit slow and a little bit disjointed so far..
