Post Match Southampton 1 Leicester 1

[Graz]

Comparisons to Bournemouth are overstating it massively.

Definitely. Bournemouth was kamikaze. This was just one of those very frustrating games where we see we are 1 or 2 creative players away from where we need to be.

I’ll be a big United fan this weekend.

Meh. Nevermind, point gained in the end. We’re never that far away from a performance like that. They defended well, Walker-Peters was excellent.

Can I start the pre-match thread against Newcastle please. 0 9 we need more negativity on that thread

The lad who came on for them was pretty ace too.

West Ham, Newcastle or Sheffield?

At least the hope has gone. That's the benefit innit.

You don't need to ask.

Nowhere near.

They played at walking pace for 80 of the minutes. The complacency was of the 'they will just make a mistake' kind. Tell me i'm wrong.

Which one? I’ve done a bottle of Rioja since half time. I wasn’t paying much attention.

Salisu worrit?

You’re wrong.

I assume by 'They' you mean us? In which case, you're right! - no sense orf urgency until the last 10 minutes

 

[Miles Away]

I mean, we can stop being fannies too. We are in a great position and one win from four is likely enough. Now I’ll have a proper wobble if Newcastle do us. Until then we’ve grabbed more points than last season.

As for the actual performance:

Maddison really is a passenger at the moment and I don’t think he should be starting.

Thomas, bright future though he has, should also be taken out of the side during this run in.
The shape and substitutions were pretty bizarre in the second half...almost as though Rodgers just thought...chuck as many attackers on as possible and hope they stay out of each other’s way.

 

[fitz]

90minutes of James Maddison standing doing **** all. Mad the shit we will be expected to pay for in September.

Exactly that. Pissing about and expecting to be gifted a win until it's too late, then a procession of embarrassing blasted shots over the bar. We'd be saying the same thing about Monday's match if Iheanacho didn't score from an unlikely position.

 

[FOX Franks]

Stats are interesting. We seemed to do everything but score.

 

[Miles Away]

Shame Cengiz Under is crap too. We could really use a player of his profile as an option.

 

[M17TT C]

Seems the players are as arrogant as a lot on here - so much for the 9-0 repeat, fisting etc that was predicted...

Going to need to win one out of the last 3 now.

 

[M17TT C]

Thomas is also way out of his depth, established LB is a must for next season.

You generally have to get your shots on target to score.

Would be nice if Vardy fancied Chipping in this year.
