Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,640 Posted September 19, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted September 19, 2021 Underwhelming start for Leicester. Brilliant from Brighton though which surprises me because they were bang fucking average when they played us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only think there's so much more to offer from this side and perhaps Rodgers is just having to find his best XI now that will work and combine with each other. Quite a few players that were stand-outs last season are still looking to find their form - Tielemans, Barnes, Pereira, Vardy, Soyuncu - all key figures of our side and not all clicking. Vardy has the goals but he still needs support which he's not getting. Maddison is probably the most affected - extremely underwhelming and perhaps needs a bit of time outside the limelight. Credit to Brighton for their start though - come out the blocks on fire. Hope it continues for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think Lookman has a good chance of clicking for you though because that would be "so Everton" from our perspective just like seeing Gray flourish with us (if he continues to do so) would be "typical Leicester" for you guys. In this scenario it could end up bizarrely ending up in a win-win for both clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's what we've wanted in place of Perez and I'm hoping Lookman continues to start. Barnes was also a let-down for me so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How the fuck have officials deemed that not a foul?! One of the worst decisions there have been in a very long time. He's clearly impeded him.

Lucas 3,824 Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 I've not watched one Leicester game yet to see how they are playing but is it time they went to a back three? The lack of clean sheets is a big problem if you are then having to score a minimum 2 a game to stand a chance of a win. Alternatively, is it time to change the shape to accommodate Iheanacho with Vardy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Dan+ 1,914 Posted September 19, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted September 19, 2021 One of the most disgracefully officiated games I have ever seen, I've not seen any of our reaction but I'll be annoyed if we've just pretended it didn't happen. It's absolutely criminal. We had problems today, thought the first hour was pitiful but from our goal onwards was the best I've seen from us in a while, all over them and just begs the question why we can't start a bit more like that. There is no way Maddison can hold his place. He's a complete waste of a shirt at the minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First hour, too slow and no tempo/urgency to our game which is our problem because more often than not we end up chasing the game. Not playing Iheanacho is frustrating because a) he's in form and b) he gives us different options when attacking. Vardy and Iheanacho worked well together when we did play a back 3 but I think generally Rodgers is more comfortable with a back 4 and having 1 full back that attacks (Pereira) while the other covers. I think Daka and Iheanacho will be our normal partnership at some point but Vardy is still getting the goals. It's the rest of the side that are underperforming. I think having Lookman find some form means we'll see better performances. He on one side and Barnes on the other gives us more balance when attacking and he's better than Perez.

The Palace Fan 3,400 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 On 18/09/2021 at 16:47, Dr. Gonzo said: You’ve played well, imo. Defended really well considering how many attempts we’ve had & you’ve had good chances. You’d have at least 1 goal if not for Alisson. Keita’s goal is brilliant The opening 20 minutes was the best start we've made so far. We were playing out the back more comfortable, we competed well, we stopped Liverpool in open play, we had our chances and we were a threat. The annoying thing was that we were outdone by 3 set pieces. Jairo being responsible for two. I think long term he will be more attacking CM as he had good energy going forwards but he lacks intensity and focus. I didn't agree with MOTD analysis on Milner. I thought he was lucky to stay on the pitch. Him and Henderson had a couple of cases for yellow cards as Liverpool with the tactical fouls. Unfortunately Andy Maddeley is just one of many referee's not competent enough to be a professional. Next week against Brighton is quite definitive to judge where we are at. 2-2-2 would look pretty good given out fixtures and the transition were in.

Guest Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Quite interesting to watch dermot Gallagher on ref watch. He said that the Leeds claim was a penalty and should have been reviewed and given. The Southampton claim was a bit more complicated. I was a bit confused as to why it was reviewed in the first place as even if it wasnt a penalty it wasn't a clear and obvious error. But apparently the penalty was given for a push not the tackle and so there was a clear and obvious error. As for the actual tackle he said because the ball gets ahead of the Southampton attacker and their legs tangle and it's not a penalty. I'm still not sure myself but as a referee has looked at it and immediately said no penalty and so has Gallagher so I think the chances are it probably wouldn't have been given if it was reviewed more often than not. Even if it was a penalty it seems as if it wasnt as clear as many are saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
