Subscriber Dan+ 1,914 Posted June 22, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted June 22, 2020 Was our head to head with Brighton seriously worse than them before they came up? That's slightly embarrassing. All I know is since they've come up they've barely laid a glove on us. 4 wins for us and a draw. We really should be winning this. Fail to and I think we're putting ourselves under a lot of pressure, and our ability to deal with that pressure seems to be really lacking.

I'm happy enough with Iheanacho coming in but Mendy & Gray shouldn't be starting for me, Barnes is better starting than Gray is, and is Praet injured or what? Genuinely couldn't tell you our formation. Sluggish start. We've got away with this so far. We are so much better than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Praet missed Saturday due to a knock so I'd presume not fully fit. 4-3-1-2 with Gray providing width on one side. Bit imbalanced. Just hoping Vardy and Iheanacho click as I'm glad he's come in.

Subscriber Dan+ 1,914 Posted June 23, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted June 23, 2020 That was just a terrible half from us. Worth remembering we're probably still not going to be at our sharpest, but it doesn't fully excuse this. I cannot see any plan at all here. Barnes may have struggled at Watford but he was in good form before the break, just keep going, he's not going to smash it every single game. Maddison out wide we know doesn't work. I think individually a few have struggled, both full backs have been poor (Justin in particular) but this is on Rodgers for me so far, it's just baffling what we're trying to do. The only good thing is we've got through that without falling behind. Hopefully something switches at half time because we've been truly awful.

Administrator Stan 18,349 Posted June 23, 2020 Author Administrator Share Posted June 23, 2020 Gotta bring on Barnes or Perez. Might actually be able let Maddison move to the middle and do what he's best at doing, and therefore help out Vardy and Kelechi. Give us some proper width both sides of the pitch as well. Their RB Lamptey seems decent. Should test him as so far he's had it easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Dan+ 1,914 Posted June 23, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted June 23, 2020 This half has been slightly better but that's from an extremely low bar. There's still next to nothing created. No subs as well is fucking mental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas 3,824 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I caught the 2nd half so cannot judge the full game. Brighton are a tough nut to crack when they sit in like that. Very well organised. Leicester never laid a glove on them to be frank and unfortunately to me, it all looked rather predictable. Perhaps you need a bit more variety in situations like that. On the handball, I think you have to say that's reaching a bit. Very harsh had it been given and you'd be gutted to concede one like that. On the plus side, whilst the run in does look tough, I think there's every reason to still be optimistic as they won't all sit in like that. They will come at you and you have always been a better counter attacking team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
