Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,358 Posted January 19, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted January 19, 2019 Bloody hell, went and done some shopping and the score was Wolves were 2-0 up, just logged on and saw 3-3, must be some match for those who are watching it.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,644 Posted January 19, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted January 19, 2019 Hat trick for Jota. I don't think the words exist that describe how poor Leicester's defensive performance has been today. Absolutely no awareness from Evans and Morgan what's going on around them.

Inverted 1,776 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Worse than the defence is these honking cross field balls and crosses they've been trying when their defence is hopelessly exposed. If your defence isn't able to handle counters, then the last thing you need to is to constantly try and rush or force attacking moves, ending up with constant ball losses.

Administrator Stan 18,365 Posted January 19, 2019 Author Administrator Share Posted January 19, 2019 Absolutely sickening to lose that after coming back in to the game twice. Last time we played them in the Premier League, in October 2003, we lost 4-3. I literally cannot believe it's happened again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Cannabis Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Absolute disgrace how Santos has been sent off for that, crazy how the FA and officials are so rampant on stamping out celebrations like that, it's what football is all about.

Yeah that's annoyed me as well. A manager is just as much as part of a team so let them fucking celebrate. If he gets banned, that's even more ludicrous. That rule needs to be changed. I don't see what's wrong about celebrating with your team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,644 Posted January 19, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted January 19, 2019 Klopp didn't get sent off for a much more ridiculous celebration in the derby. Shock horror inconsistent officiating huh. He did get fined in retrospect though. Managers shouldn't be penalised for celebrating with players like that unless they really are taking the piss. If it's absolutely necessary to give a post match fine for leaving the technical area then whatever but sending a manager off for celebrating a goal in the last minute is nuts.

Machado 1,710 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 It's been a very good Saturday for a neutral football fan. So many goals. Good to see Jota finally making the highlight reel more often as he hasn't been performing at last season's level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Dan+ 1,915 Posted January 19, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted January 19, 2019 I think this is the run which eventually sees the end of Puel. I thought he'd pull a win out the bag today simply because it would prevent that run, but we failed. You cannot go 2-0 down within ten minutes and expect anything, and it could easily have been more as well. We are the worst side in the league in the first ten minutes, I'm absolutely convinced of it, the number of times we go behind early doors is a scandal. That's 9 games of our last 11 that we've gone 1-0 down in. No team who is any good goes behind that frequently. From the point we were 2 down to the end, we probably edged it, but it's no use when you already have a mountain to climb. To actually pull it back twice and still lose at the end is appalling. So much for the defensive record I recently talked up. Embarrassing defending today. The full backs were diabolical in-particular. Simpson a complete shambles. The midfield were a waste of time. I cannot see why he persists with Mendy and Ndidi. It doesn't work. Barnes had a shocking first half but a better second (sad to see his goal was chalked off and given as an own goal). Gray's goal was quality and exactly what I want to see from him more often, but I thought other than that he was largely wasteful, and a big reason for their first. Overall, just a chaotic game created by an even more exceptionally bad start than usual, some positives in the ability to come back but a heinous defensive display. Puel isn't the answer, for sure now for me, but some of these players just simply aren't good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm convinced we've got to be one of the most naive sides in this league. We bail ourselves out of it quite often but we play ourselves into some absolutely ridiculous situations at times. We're a team who tries to play passing football full of players who can't fucking pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil-Dick Willie 3,253 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I can see Leicester doing a Stoke tbh. A bit of short term success gets to their head and next minute the coach is sacked in spite of having the side safe as a house, next thing you know, the fiery pits of hell known as the championship beckons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
