Match Thread Leicester (H) - Boxing Day 20:00

[Farkmaster]

We are unfortunate to not be winning this game, let alone losing, and at the same time I don't think we've played that well.

 

[Modo]

Nunez may as well not be on the fucking pitch

I don't understand why Slot is even playing him

 

[Tinto]

Would be happy to see Elliott for Jones. He is good in tight spaces and the athleticism of Szobo and Jones are not as necessary against a low block.

Yep, Elliott is better at breaking down a low block

 

[Fabio]

I don't understand why Slot is even playing him

Necessity I'd wager.

Jota unfit, doesn't want to burn out Diaz.

Also, Leicester are fucking shit, so he should be able to fucking do something

 

[Holle]

for the love of all that is holy

It's not working and it's only confusing Trent because he has no one to aim at

I think he can't see anything because he has his nose so high up in the air.

 

[darkstarexodus]

This match is calling out for Jota.

 

[Hansern]

Just, please, stop with all those pointless crosses.

And sub off Jones and Darwin.

 

[Holle]

Nunez doing his best Eddie the Eagle impersonations here.

 

[Hansern]

Shame we cant sub on Bradley for Trent

 

[Fabio]

We can't play through them because Jones is shite, Macca is well off song and Nunez is fucking pointless

 

[Farkmaster]

Why does it have to be like this?

I'm having a nice day. I made unbelievably good prime rib yesterday. I made myself a roast beef sandwich. I did my part. The rest of the results go for us. Just a nice calm 2-0, but nooo, couldn't have that.

Trent should occasionally drive and cross, not just cross from deep. It's such a simple detail that infuriates me. The uncertainty makes it much harder to defend.

Just, please, stop with all those pointless crosses.

The crosses are pointless because we have no one attacking them. Not sure what Darwin is doing out there tbh

 

[Tinto]

I don't understand why Slot is even playing him

Yeah, loads of crosses but Nunez has gotten to just one?

 

[Shadey]

Nunez has offered nothing this half

 

[Modo]

Yeah, loads of crosses but Nunez has gotten to just one?

He doesn't know how to make space for himself in the box. He's the anti-striker.
I saw this years ago.

 

[Fabio]

Wasted free kick incoming

 

[Fabio]

Get Robbo and Trent off set pieces. They're cooked. They're done.

 

[Modo]

Wasted free kick incoming

Bingo

 

[Hansern]

The crosses are pointless because we have no one attacking them. Not sure what Darwin is doing out there tbh

Those floated crosses against defenders with their back towards their own goal are all but pointless anyway

 

[Markeh]

unlucky Mo, i expect him to finish those

 

[Shadey]

A stern talking to at halftime would bring these round.

 

[Fabio]

Had all the time in the world and hits the fucking bar

 

[Holle]

So close

 

[dee]

Woodwork #2

 

[Dreambeliever]

So close Salah, off the bar 🙁

 

[Modo]

Trent the world class defender...

 

[Mojo]

Unluckeee, close from Salah

 

[Shay_K]

Almost from Mo

 

[Markeh]

perfect finish cody

 

[Modo]

Gakkers!!!!
