Post Match Leicester 0 Arsenal 1

[ThaiSweetChilli]

Shite by all accounts.

But as Glyn pointed out earlier, we've played some big in form teams lately and 0-1 loss wouldn't have damaged our gd too much.

I think it was Mickey who said 4 wins is all we need but I think it's more like 5 or 6. The league is so tight that I can see a higher requirement to beat the drop. Anyone from 12th to 20th has a genuine chance to either stay up or go down.

On a positive note, it was my 10 year old niece's first match (an Arsenal fan) and she travelled with their support from London with her dad and saw a win so at least she's happy. Smug little bitch.

 

[City Fan]

Looking forward to hearing how our inability to create a goalscoring chance was all Ward's fault.

Did you enjoy the flap leading to the harshly chalked off goal?

 

[City Fan]

The confidence has been completely zapped out of them again.

24 games gone and we’re averaging 1 point a game. It’ll be iffy whether 38 points will be enough this season. Make no mistake, we’re in a relegation scrap which is scandalous given the players we have and how much we’re paying our manager.

Rodgers out.

Did you enjoy the flap leading to the harshly chalked off goal?

It wasn't harsh, it was a definite foul, and Ward couldn't jump properly as a result.

 

[Orifice]

Ward was useless. How many times did he get a cross into their box? How many tackes did he make? How many shots did he have? I don't remember him going forward at all.
Useless. We're never going to score with that kind of performance.

 

[Miles Away]

All well and good. But Ward is shit.

It’s Chris Weale all over again.

 

[popillius]

You mean the one he did extremely well to get to considering he was being anchored to the ground? It was alright yeah.

Mind you, we'd have won four nil with Kasper between the sticks.

Facts and that. Not welcome here.

 

[Miles Away]

 

[popillius]

All well and good. But Ward is shit.

It’s Chris Weale all over again.

Yeah. It's exactly the same.

 

[Miles Away]

Yeah. It's exactly the same.

Mate. He’s shit. I’m sorry.

He was only a little bit shit today.

 

[Brown Nose]

Yet another home game where I was bored shitless. Absolutely zero entertainment for the paying fan.

I don't believe even Rodgers knew what the feck his tactical nonsense was today. We were so disjointed between systems I felt really sorry for the players. They looked scared to do anything by instinct.

We're so over-coached sometimes. How different to the game against Spurs where it looked like Rodgers just went 'go and do what you like lads'.

Not only were we a terrible watch but so were Arsenal - diving, whining, feigning injuries, etc. And then the 'wankers wanker' Pawson poncing about the centre circle oblivious to anything going on unless an Arsenal player told him to give them a free kick. Loathsome referee.

Miserable afternoon.

 

[popillius]

Mate. He’s shit. I’m sorry.

Okay.

I mean, he's pretty much the least of our worries today. Or last match. Or for pretty much most matched this season.

But he's still the villain every game.

 

[popillius]

We were so disjointed between systems I felt really sorry for the players. They looked scared to do anything by instinct.

This is a brilliant description. It's exactly what it felt like; as if we're trying to play about 8 systems at once. The problem is that all 8 of them were rubbish.

 

[Miles Away]

Okay.

I mean, he's pretty much the least of our worries today. Or last match. Or for pretty much most matched this season.

But he's still the villain every game.

I think he’s the worst starting goalkeeper in the premier league. I’ve made that clear and we can leave it at that for the rest of the season.

There are nine keepers with more clean sheets. Nine.

None of those nine have had Daniel Amartey pretending to be a footballer in front of them either. Or Luke Thomas.

There was nothing harsh about it and it wasn’t a flap. But don’t let that cloud your judgement.

It was actually a perfect example of what VAR is good for and should be used for. A foul that no referee could be reasonably expected to spot n real time.

 

[Miles Away]

There are nine keepers with more clean sheets. Nine.

I mean if you really want to have the conversation we can start with who you’d prefer him to. I just looked at the list and was hard-pressed.

Bazuna and Neto maybe? Leno at a stretch?

 

[Micky]

Did you enjoy the flap leading to the harshly chalked off goal?

White was holding Ward arm and restricting his ability to jump. It was the most blatant foul ever.

 

[londonfox]

Mate. He’s shit. I’m sorry.

He was only a little bit shit today.

He wasn’t at all shit today.
