Hojpoj and Romeu for fouls, Mac for time wasting, Cedric for disputing the goal and Tadic I don't know, probably time wasting at a free kick?
When Watford played us earlier they were by far the better side, fast, physical and seemingly more up for it. In fact of the games that I have seen at St Marys this season (I didn't see Leicester) they are the visiting team that impressed me the most. So the fact that we dominated the first half is a major positive to me, the fact that they dominated the 2nd is not as it seems like they played to their strengths as they did at St Mary's. We should have known about this and been prepared for them in the 2nd half. Why doesn't he make subs sooner, why wasn't Lemina bought on sooner. The other point is. I am watching the Bournemouth and absolutely staggered that Bournemouth can sign players like Ibe and Ake who were expensive signings and cost around the same as our record signings and yet haven't had the benefit of selling players for a very very large profit. When we were last relegated people were asking where had all our money gone and why haven't we made the signings, will there be the same questions being asked?
Apparently the management Reed and MP plus others go to a restaurant after each home game, presumably for a de-briefing. Are they all bit too pally and looking after each other
Tadic yellow for stealing the ball out of a Watford player's hands at a throw in, he thought it was ours.
Well done James (he'll go far that lad)....here's a novel idea, how about us playing football for the entire duration of the match?.
He needs to be captain. Did anyone see he was the one pepping everyone up in the huddle before kickoff yesterday?
Think I have got to the point were I have accepted relegation and if we somehow don't go down I will be surprised
I still retain hope if we have a new Manager in place by the start of February, we'e gonners for sure if we stick with this loser.
But if the games against Brighton and WBA have passed by then (and presumably without victories, because I can't see us sacking him in early Feb if we've won one of them), then could a new manager achieve survival? As a minimum we would still require four more wins in my view, possibly five. And look at our fixtures: Liverpool (h) Burnley (a) Stoke (h) Newcastle (a) Swansea (a) West Ham (a) Arsenal (a) Chelsea (h) Leicester (a) Bmouth (h) Everton (a) Man City (h) There is maybe, maybe, just enough there to work with to get four or five wins. But we would have to have a blistering March on the road, and practically no more slip ups.
Maybe. But one away win all season - and that against a team who had zero points, and arguably didn't deserve to lose - hardly inspires confidence that we can get those wins on the road.
This, this, this. Like I said yesterday, MP is doing a bad job, but yesterday we actually weren’t bad Where is this? Thought he had a really good game yesterday, even aside from the goals. Nice to see him stepping up. He and Pierre seem to be showing some grit and leadership
After 25 games last season, Leicester were on 21 points. If they got to safety easily enough with Shakespeare in charge then there is hope for us all yet.
The caveat to that though is that they had largely the same team that won the league the year before. But I get your point. It was 'new manager bounce'. ...maybe we need a bit of that.
