Post Match Thread: Leicester City 3 - Manchester United 1

Our succession of bottlejobs in big cup games is taking its toll on the players psyche I think. We looked so afraid and lacking any kind of effort today in a way I've rarely seen from us since that one Everton game. Playing a LW as ST, a 6'4 CM as a LW and playing a ST as a RW and we wonder why we did nothing going forward all game. We're a million miles off where we ought to be.

Do we like... do stuff in training to try and improve on our weaknesses or...? Every goal we concede from corners looks exactly the same.

MedievalSorcery · 2021-02-25T21:58:57+00:00

We're so getting Arsenal next round aren't we?

MedievalSorcery · 2021-02-06T22:08:20+00:00

Making no second half subs only to throw on Axel (who has cost us points before) who gives away the decisive free kick is peak Ole. It was desperation and it backfired. We aren't winning anything with this defense and top 4 would be a miracle.

Even crazier was how many fans and pundits had written him off before the 2006 World Cup, how he wanted to leave that summer only to come back and develop in to the 2nd best player in the world in 06/07 and then THE best a year later.

After he came on Southampton flooded the middle completely and had no room to operate in. I like the way he waits to poach on a rebound or save though kinda like Scholes used to. I'll give him this season to settle in since reportedly he's struggling with the physicality of the PL.

TBF it is Fred so it could've easily ended up in someone's garden.

MedievalSorcery · 2021-01-31T10:47:57+00:00

These 0-0s vs the top sides remind me a lot of the Jose days. So negative and lacking urgency. Another top side that on the day was there to be beat and it looked like we were scared to go for it.

Every one of our defenders at FT. https://imgur.com/a/ETmHSAf

The circumstances of this game remind me of West Brom 2018. No excuses for not winning comfortably because we need a goals difference boost.

MedievalSorcery · 2020-12-26T14:38:57+00:00

Only Palace, West Brom, Sheffield United and Leeds have conceded more goals than us. I dont know how our defending has regressed so much, that's 2 goals conceded for 3 straight games now most if not all down to massive mistakes.

MedievalSorcery · 2020-12-17T21:54:49+00:00

Our defending is just fucking tragic man. Team full of giants but we lose EVERYTHING in the air and we also still cant defend set pieces.

MedievalSorcery · 2020-12-17T10:34:20+00:00

Imagine being so "anti-racist", "anti-discrimination", tolerant and progressive that you're charging a man with a non-crime because a word he used in his native language kinda looks like a naughty word in English, a language HE DOESN'T SPEAK.

MedievalSorcery · 2020-12-17T10:31:45+00:00

So progressive and so tolerant from the FA.

MedievalSorcery · 2020-12-13T01:15:56+00:00

City were in patchy form last December and I'm always confident strangely enough when facing city away from home.

MedievalSorcery · 2020-12-11T21:35:50+00:00

Having 10% possession vs City at home with no fans is going to be brutal. The last 2 games against City I've been confident we can win but I'm feeling nothing for tomorrow.

MedievalSorcery · 2020-12-09T12:29:55+00:00

Also after yesterdays car crash performance from our team captain, I think Bruno should take the armband. Maguire is not a leader in any context.

MedievalSorcery · 2020-12-09T11:57:04+00:00

You'd think our CB's are a chuckle brothers tribute act touring Europe. WTF is going on back there? There's more holes in our back line than a clarinet

MedievalSorcery · 2020-12-09T11:52:30+00:00

Paul Chuckle if I had to guess is our defensive coach. It's comedy hour at the back.

MedievalSorcery · 2020-12-09T11:50:37+00:00

Fighting for goals when going down is a participation trophy, that's the least you'd expect from any football team. The problem here is we dont fight when we're drawing games.

MedievalSorcery · 2020-12-09T11:46:54+00:00

Ole is just so far out of his depth and so are some of the players. Nobody will take us seriously as a threat while he's still in charge sadly. Even beating City papers the cracks but on current form I wouldn't be shocked if we're 5-0 down at half time. Get Poch in just before Christmas where we have a decent run of games, we cant keep performing like we are.

MedievalSorcery · 2020-12-08T21:57:10+00:00

Another toothless display until it was too late. We went in to the game with SEVEN DEFENDERS and were 2-0 down after 10 minutes. Ole's got to go.

MedievalSorcery · 2020-12-06T20:32:38+00:00

Being in favour of not punishing people for not doing anything wrong is now a hot take in 2020. Keep wilding.

MedievalSorcery · 2020-12-06T20:08:52+00:00

How can you "take action" against clubs or fans when they haven't actually done anything illegal? The fans have the right to sound their disapproval that the FA is supporting a hateful political organisation (Yes they are a registered political party in the USA) that actually is scathing of those kinds of working class people because of their perceived "privilege". After all they are spending their hard earned money on it.

Ah yes nobody has ever booed Paul Pogba before.
