Post Match Leicester 1 Chelsea 2

He’s definitely not got a winners mentality.

To be fair, we were in it.

Were we ever really in it though?

We were a mouse being played with by a cat. We had 3 shots all game and one on target..Those stats include the penalty.....

Does the penalty not really count then?

Did you read the rest of it? Let's help you out. We only had 3 shots all game and only one on target.

Is that better?

 

[londonfox]

We never looked like scoring

we just made it easy going for them.

And that’s why, despite the score, I never felt that we were actually in the game

 

[londonfox]

We've learnt nothing.

That’s an appropriate thing to say about every aspect of our play, tactics, performance this season.

 

[Miles Away]

Well here is what he will say:

1. Blame the refs, particularly for the Mavididi penalty shout

2. We never quit and stayed in the game throughout. The lads kept working.

3. They’ve got a lot of quality and we could have got something out of the game.

 

[glyn]

It will be a masterclass of papering over the cracks.

 

[londonfox]

Honest assessment.

But why did it take us half an hour to figure out how this Chelsea team would setup?

 

[Brown Nose]

Another thoroughly unenjoyable match. Thanks City!

My first comment is about the number of empty seats today. It was very obvious that there are people who can't be arsed turning up. It's also obvious that we're not selling games out because the club have overpriced tickets so much.

The atmosphere was horrible. The only positive was calling Fofana a **** several times. I left well before the end.

That's a full preseason and three international breaks that Cooper has had to impart his ideas and a game plan. I am yet to see anything to indicate that the players have a coherent tactical approach to any game. There were (again) many instances where players simply didn't know where to be or what to do.

Chelsea toyed with us. They had several more gears and could have scored at will really. They were in energy conservation mode.

We were shit.

El Khanouss was easily our best player. When he has space in a wider position, his movement and passing are obviously a class above the rest of the team. He must start every game now.

Soumare is the only other player that can come away from today with any credit.

All the defenders were appalling. Skipp was awful.

I'm going to have to really push myself to go again to watch this drivel. It's just not good enough.

To be honest, many of the players look like they'd rather be elsewhere too.

I can’t say I blame them. Fait accompli.

I think we know.

Skipp and the all the defenders were a special kind of shit today. Seriously not good enough.

Because our manager is a bollock short of a scrotum.

 

[Miles Away]

The observation of the players looking lost, annoyed or generally disinterested can’t be ignored.

I reckon Vards and Wilf might be having a chat with the leadership soon.
