Match Thread Swansea v Leicester

[Cate Fox]

Out of interest, how would they "seem to care"? Seems like a Bollocks statement to me.

Stringing a few passes together and scoring a goal?

 

[LES Fox]

Swansea fans reminding us.

Changes and it's 3 center mids! Good to see King tho.

 

[Motown Fox]

Vardy makes a clever pass and gets taken off.
Nugent is playing far worse.

 

[Graz]

A hammering might be just what we need. NP has singularly failed to acknowledge anything is wrong over the last three dire performances.

Surely the changes in personnel and formation are acknowledgement he thinks something is wrong

 

[LeeCovFox]

Why have we abandoned the principles which served us so well over the course of a year and a bit? It isn't just the step up; we had no issue attacking superior teams to those we're melting against now a few weeks back.

We've suddenly become a side which sits back and tries to contain, hoofing it forward because our style doesn't create space for expansive passing. Which would be fine if we had players capable of containing, but not one of our current back four look good enough for this league at the minute, let alone any of the more defensive players further forward.

Don't worry, this thread is full of them

 

[FryattFox]

3 subs. Morgan injured. Hmmm....

He's said different every time so far.

He's said different every time so far.

I imagine you're loving it. Redditch will be back soon along with Terry.

 

[Motown Fox]

Simpson must surely start the next game. RDL except going forward has been shocking. And even when crossing he's not done much cop.

 

[Miles Away]

If Nige doesn't acknowledge how poor this performance, and effort, has been it will be worrying.

 

[fitz]

Can anyone explain how passing a ball 5 yards sideways to a player in space is much more difficult in the Prem than the Championship?

 

[LES Fox]

Out of interest, why is Pearson still in the stands? He's made the changes from on high, now he'd be better served on the touch line encouraging players to execute them.

There have been plenty of examples. Look no further than de Laet for their second.

 

[FryattFox]

Does it really matter, or make any difference, what NP says to the camera?

There's no way anyone is watching these performances and thinking that we're playing well (or to our ability). How NP chooses to rectify that internally is completely unrelated to his 'soundbites'.

Really?! He didn't do that for the second half against United but we still seemed to manage then. Or for Everton. Or Arsenal. Or...

 

[Matt_B]

That doesn't answer my question.

 

[Cate Fox]

That doesn't answer my question.

You always get really pissy when Leicester are losing.

 

[Miles Away]

Or Mahrez pulling out of that 50/50
