Our players cannot actually pass the ball. I mean from one player to another we can’t pass. Our pass completion rate is woeful.
This is horrible to watch.....I wish it was the mid nineties again. I’m starting to seriously question Rafa’s tactics.....we start games on the front foot playing high energy football and once we score it’s every back and defend, then hoof it to whoever’s up front when we do have the ball, bring back big Sam!ha
This is a complete joke. Have these players lost their balls. What a ****ing joke. Not one of them are standing up and fighting all of them are going into their shells. We are going down if Rafa cannot get something out of them.
I wish we had a barton or a Nolan on the pitch. Imagine them. Leicester players seem to have able to pass at will with no pressure. That last 15 minutes is the worst I have ever seen a premiership side play. It was awful.
Everyone is saying we need strikers. I think we need midfielders. Who can actually pass and position themselves. Rafa can use the excuse of the players but I have no idea what his tactics are. What is our actual game plan.
Made it to half time without conceding another one - somehow!! Need a big change at half time or we're screwed here
Just thinking back to the decent teams we’ve had down through the years, I don’t think there’s anyone in the starting 11 today that would merit a place on the bench of any of those teams let alone the first 11.....it’s sad times
They're frightened of the ball, to a man. That moment where Ritchie had acres in front of him but is screaming to make a 60 yard pass - ridiculous. We have one player who can pass at distance, and he's on the fcking bench, so if that's the Rafa tactic then why has Rafa picked these fcking players?? That 4-4-2 coincided with our huge dip in form - he's picked it again? I know we have bad players and there's only so much can be done, but surely playing the same useless crap players in a formation that just isn't working is borderline madness!
Darliow. Why is he in nets. Need shelvey. On straight way. For Hayden Merino. Is doing his work aswell.
I just don’t understand the players efforts. The work rate the effort is none existent. They are all looking at the others for some inspiration and it’s not happening. We can’t just turn up week in week out playing like this. Even bad teams have some effort. We are sooo far behind any mid table sides. Is Rafa losing the plot. I don’t get his tactics and decisions. It’s like he is trying to mix up the players to get a performance. But he is actually messing the moral. This second half is so important.
It's really all very weird. Explode out the blocks, look possessed, score a goal could have had two. Then 7 minutes on the clock, they all disappear. They give the ball away for fun, scurry around like headless chicken, nobody wants the ball, nobody available, dreadful movement, worse passing. The oppo then just look at us and think "wow, this lot are actually scared" and it's one way traffic. It's senseless fcking rubbish.
