So this performance is somewhat reminiscant of the ones against Cardiff and Barnsley. Away from home we are extremely negative and have no ambition. We drew those 2 games and people claimed they were good performances. Well they certainly weren't. And today was the same, the only difference was that we were punished for not capitalising in the first half, when we had the majority of the possession and were given space. Claridge hit the nail on the head when he talked about width, I've been saying it all ****ing summer, but the old twat has done nothing about it. 2 weeks ago was a performance we needed to build on. But it's 1 step forward, one step back. Why? Because we have no ambition away from home. THIS WILL NOT WORK. Why do we not take the game to them like we've been doing at home? There's no good arguement against it when we've just thrashed the team 3rd in the league. I don't care how many clean sheets we keep, I don't care how many draws we get. These only count for one point. Shouldn't we be good enough to believe we will get 3 instead? We got a load of draws the season we got relegated as well. Now we are off the pace and we need wins rather than draws. Todays game was terrible, Birmingham are not a very good side, but we were so bad on the ball it was unreal. We didn't go for it in the first half and were deservedly punished. I do have complaints about the ref, not for our 2 decisions, but for theirs. Just after the penalty Beausejour fouled Peltier for a clear second yellow card, but the arrogant fat **** of a ref didn't book him. Classic home side decision that. But that shouldn't paper over the cracks of our very average team. The game against Derby, it turns out, was't a turning of a corner but a flash in the pan. Sven has no ambition, not touchline passion, to the point where as soon as he brought Pantsil on I knew we couldn't get a point. I mean Pantsil? Why Pantsil? We were chasing the game and obviously needed to throw more players into their half, we didn't need four at the back. We've got Schlupp and Johnson who weren't used and could have been. Pantsil is nothing short of atrocious, his technical ability is zero, his crossing is the worst I've seen from a Leicester player. I'm already fed up with him. Who's showing leadership on the pitch? Is Sven motivating them? The answers are an emphatic no one and no. The midfielders are way too inconsistent. King had a great game against Derby but every other performance this season has been ****, today was his worst. He was so slow and lethargic. Same with Abe. Fernandes has a good game 50% of the time and a terrible one the next. Danns and Wellens have also been hit and miss and Johnson is yet to show what he can do, partly because he's barely played. Nugent had a shocker but was given little service, Beckford did **** all again when he came on. But Vassell. Oh Vassell. He's another one with no technical ability. I'm really fed up with him. Unless we solve this problem of a lack of creativity we will continue to languish in midtable. Today was ****ing pathetic and there's no hiding from it, and it's not a one off performance I'm afraid. This is far below the standard of performances we've been expecting and you wouldn't blame a lot of Leicester fans if they decided it wasn't worth travelling away if we are going to play like that every time. It's not just me that thinks this, other teams fans are looking at us and laughing. But I'd like to hear some people argue that we played well because now I need a laugh.
Thanks banksy. After watching that performance from us you've just reminded me that things can be much much worse.
I'd say since they both waltzing around barely touching the ball they are pretty much on a par He only turned up against us to try and get a move and now he's sulking
I think he is sulking cos he can only score against you! I'd be pissed off if I could only score against you.
EIH could not agree with you more, we were a clueless bunch of tossers today! I could have played in goal for Brum today.
Don't understand why you'd pick Pantsil, he was atrocious again today and I don't think Peltier did much wrong. King also needs to be dropped, he doesn't do anything far too often. Replace him with Johno.
always picked peltier, but i thought painstil looked good today. doesnt really matter which though. i think people are being a big harsh on king today.
i think people are being a big harsh on king today. Dont blame him for the pen! but he did f**k all else today.
Didn't King make the mistake before he fouled the bloke for the penalty? In any case, he was awful, he just jogged around and was controlling it further than I can kick it. Terrible display.
Pantsil and peltier getting stick and no mention of konchesky's atrocious performance!! Personally I thought pantsil did ok. Was surprised he came on at rightback and peltier moving to the centre, but he put crosses into the box and showed some PASHUN!! We need flair and/or wingers. If your gonna play a diamond with 4 centremids, the top of the diamond has to have a free role and be able to beat players and create something out of nothing....King is NOT that player
Yes, Konchesky was very poor as well. He's way too slow and tries to take people on and alwasy loses it when he does that. His crossing is also terrible. Can't agree about Pantsil, I thought he was one of the worst and he wasn't even on that long. He did put in some crosses but almost all of them were shocking. Peltier was pretty much our best player again and Pantsil for me, is no where near him at the moment, and is a waste of a bench player. I'd rather recall Tunchev and have him on there (though will he even want to come back now?!) or St Ledger and have 2 midfielders and 2 strikers, we don't need Weale, he's worse than having an outfield player in goal.
