Post Match West Ham 3 Leicester 2

Vardy really is a passenger at the moment.

His lack of goals is now starting to effect his all around performance...

Whats the source of Maddison golfing at Kilworth

But you can explain your last paragraph with your first.

A lot will be made of those missing and I am convinced that we win or at least don't lose that game, if 2 of them are available. We didn't create a glut of chances because we didn't have anyone to create them. Like I said in the match thread, we have 4 creative players at the club; Barnes, Maddison, Perez and Justin. With two of them out injured, the other two needed to step up. Today, we just didn't have the ammunition. Praet or Mendy? Meh - both shite. Tavares? I'd have probably gone for him but I'm not sure he is creative enough either. Albrighton was the one but this change came way too late.

I agree with that mate. Which is why the decision not to be bring Albrighton on at half-time was a completely ****ing idiotic one.

Next 4 are must win if we have any kind of aspirations to finish even in the top 7.

I think if we win the next 4 we have an excellent shot at top 4

And the power of my ‘I’m ****ing off’ posts have worn off.

The fact that we came up short on a big occasion is no longer baffling to me, it’s what I expect under Rodgers

You don't show it

It is now tight as a mouse’s ear hole.

It is. We’ve burned through our margin for error with a couple of very limp performances.

 

[SilverFox]

For me it is sports psychologist territory. We do the hard work of getting ourselves into a comfortable position where the pressure really should ease off a bit, and then we **** it right up.

I praise the club and those employed by the club when I feel it’s merited. And likewise I criticize them when I feel it is merited.

I personally don’t. I can see Liverpool winning 6 or even 7. Chelsea will win most of their games including most likely against us. That will finish us off in my opinion. Not to mention West Ham having a fairly easy run in. Their last game I think is v Man City who will be more worried about the possible FA cup final or CL final to risk putting a shift in.

CL is gone. We needed a decent gap with 3 to play and it's just been decimated yet again.

The FA Cup final is a week before the end of the league season.

My pessimism agrees with @Jimmy Lad

Chelsea played some pretty impressive football yesterday, they've got momentum. Liverpool are on a roll even if not always clicking. They way we've played the last 2 matches doesn't fill me with confidence. We'll need some results to go our way including, ideally, the head-to-heads - the first of which, today, didn't.

No two ways about it, it's squeaky bum time.

Chelsea have got West Ham, Villa, Arsenal and Man City in their remaining matches, alongside us, so not exactly exactly a walk in the park.

Are we really one of the top 4 teams in the league though?

Concentrating on the CL final or Euros then

Here we go. It's just little old Leicester, we've been a yo-yo team before don't you know, so we should be happy with our team of serial bottle merchants.

No matter how you dress it up, putting yourself into a position where you can get champions league football and ****ing it up twice in a row is a humiliating failure.

My opinion is that this season is one of twenty pretty shitty teams. I don't think any side has impressed me consistently, us included.

It's been a fecking mess of a season and if we come out of it with a top four finish and a cup final, I'll be thrilled. These are still very realistic goals.

We've had an absurd number of injuries and weird performances this season. We look good one week, awful the next. Opponents are totally random in that you really cannot predict who will/will not turn up.

We do deserve a top four finish on the basis of our away form. It has been sensational. Our home form is midtable stuff.

In terms of players, only Tielemans has consistently delivered and he sometimes disappears. All the rest of our players have blown hot and cold, or just cold. But like I say, I reckon most clubs would say the same. This season has been awful.
