Match Thread Leicester v West Ham

[SilverFox]

Can we sell Perez.

 

[Miles Away]

Half time:

Justin and Perez off.

Under and Nacho on. 442.

 

[Graz]

People blaming the system, but with Maddison, Ndidi and Praet we are a bit bare in midfield at the minute

 

[tedfoxxx]

I’ve stuck up for Perez in the past because he got stick even when he was doing good work for the team.

Today though.... absolutely hopeless.

 

[SilverFox]

Missing the passing of Praet or Maddison today. Relying on Tielemans alone to pick out passes really

The commentary I'm watching suggesting we stick on an extra midfielder - but the only one we've got is Hamza.

Maybe do Ünder on for a defender and Perez play as the 10

With Perez it’s like we are playing with 10

same here but he has been genuinely dreadful.

not as bad as soyuncu, but close.

Yep. He was the pantomime villain for a while. Now he deserves to be criticised. He hasn't turned up this season.

 

[tedfoxxx]

Picked a ****ing brilliant weekend to stop boozing ain’t I?

Pissed it down solidly and now Leicester are making West Ham look good.

 

[Jeff]

Need more width. We're trying to pass the ball through the middle where there's no space.

 

[Miles Away]

Because the setup is so broken they are more likely to score next. We look all over the shop at the minute.

 

[fitz]

Cags and Youri are by far the worst today.

 

[Graz]

Half time:

Justin and Perez off.

Under and Nacho on. 442.

No way he puts Nacho on at half time.

Can see Ünder coming on for Perez at the break though

 

[tedfoxxx]

Yep. He was the pantomime villain for a while. Now he deserves to be criticised. He hasn't turned up this season.

The back half of a pantomime cow would have been more use today.

 

[Graz]

Cags and Youri are by far the worst today.

Harsh on Youri! He's the only one finding a pass.

Wham closing us down very quickly in there though

 

[tedfoxxx]

Narrower than Boc’s barge.

 

[fitz]

Harsh on Youri! He's the only one finding a pass.

Wham closing us down very quickly in there though

He's finding west ham with a pass.

 

[Lako42]

Pedestrian rubbish.

Sideways passing, slow passing, obvious passing and then inevitable poor passing for the final ball.

 

[Graz]

Rubbish so far

 

[Jeff]

Second half will be better. They can't keep closing us down this quickly for 90 minutes, and we can't play this badly for 90 minutes.

 

[SilverFox]

Because we are playing through the middle where West Ham have decided sensibly to put all the players.
