DT Posted 16 January, 2021 Share Posted 16 January, 2021 That was utterly appalling. Stephen’s I think. But where was the intention beforehand? No desire to try and get an equaliser. Very disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 16 January, 2021 Share Posted 16 January, 2021 (edited) Really, really poor second half I thought from us. Deserved something on the first half, but second half - no where near.

qwertyell Posted 16 January, 2021 Share Posted 16 January, 2021 (edited) Stephens... FFS. Giving the ball away is one thing, but he then made a half assed attempt to foul as if he couldn't be bothered. Wouldn't have saved the game, but it'd have saved our GD another hit. Worrying how much we wilted in the second half after 10 days rest. Poor, after such a promising opened 45.

Saint Fan CaM Posted 16 January, 2021 Share Posted 16 January, 2021 Stephens proving he’s been living on borrowed time as a Prem player. Just not enough quality in the squad with the injuries to be able to compete against a good Leicester squad. Plus the Ref seemed very keen to spoil the game for us. Oh well onto a youthful side for the FA Cup. We really need something special in the window, but there’s no money so it’s the kids we’re pinning our hopes on.

StrangelyBrown Posted 16 January, 2021 Share Posted 16 January, 2021 A bit more quality up front and we comfortably win that game irrespective of the goal.

Chez Posted 16 January, 2021 Share Posted 16 January, 2021 Tactically Leicester got it right in the second half and Ralf either couldn't adjust or didn't have the players on the bench to do anything. For me the ref not giving us the foul on Diallo changed the game. It left us scrambling in defence and we couldnt recover. Going a goal down killed us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily they haven’t lead to a goal. tonight is more of what we’ve become used to. He cannot defend, which for a CB is a bit of an issue. Had that been Vestergaard, he’d have had pelters. a couple of last ditch blocks won’t convince me otherwise. Terrible defender. That's utter rubbish.

S-Clarke Posted 16 January, 2021 Share Posted 16 January, 2021 (edited) Why are people so intent of throwing vile abuse Stephens way? Does he really deserve being called what he's being called? He's improved massively under Ralph, but he has always been limited. He is always beaten by the turn, or pace, or skill. Backs to the walls/blocks etc, passing out from the back, decent and he's improved in that element. But against genuine quality/pace our CB's aren't really up to it, Jan is better...but still weak in those situations.

HarvSFC Posted 16 January, 2021 Share Posted 16 January, 2021 Good first half, outdone by a poor decision from the officials. Really poor second half, making it a comfortable win for Leicester. They did bring £75m worth of players off their bench tonight, which helps makes a difference. 10 days until the next league game, hopefully gives the opportunity for some to return.

Harry_SFC Posted 16 January, 2021 Share Posted 16 January, 2021 Stephens and KWP were awful tonight. The rest weren't much better. Although I did think Bertrand had a decent game.

Baird of the land Posted 16 January, 2021 Share Posted 16 January, 2021 Game really changed on the goal. We'd been the better team. Not to excuse the individual errors in build up but Diallo non foul was inconsistent with how ref handled fouls rest of game. Afterwards Leicester could sit and pick us off(which is their preferred away strategy) as we had to go more and more aggressive and rode our luck defencively. Unlucky with the Armstrong chance that hit the bar. Still not a bad display given the players that were out.Impressed by N'lundulu. Long though really not looking a premier league level striker anymore. Another wide player (Smallbone out). We're worrying short in that position now. Hopefully Ings comes back from Covid without any ill effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought KWP was poor, but....Justin pushed him up and stopped him attacking, Justin in particular had a really good game for Leicester, one of their better players. Barnes also kept him very busy, so he was rather subdued because of that. He had no real protection in front. Theo was awful though, really, really bad unfortunately.

cloggy saint Posted 16 January, 2021 Share Posted 16 January, 2021 (edited) There's always a lot of shit posted here on match days but today will take some beating.

JRM Posted 16 January, 2021 Share Posted 16 January, 2021 Thought we played well considering the players we were missing, target should still be a top half finish, that would be a success for a squad as light as ours. No real threat to bring off the bench. We had several chances first half, finishing not good enough. Will Bertrand be able to serve his suspension on Tuesday?

Shroppie Posted 16 January, 2021 Share Posted 16 January, 2021 Decent performance, when you think we were missing Ings, Redmond, Djenepo, Tella, Romeu, Obafemi, Vestergaard. All the starting eleven did well and we could have been in front at half time. But we had little to offer from the bench, although N'Lundulu impressed. Man of the match between McCarthy, Bednarek and Armstrong. Blue line. Hope to get injuries sorted. Move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
