The reality is though that playing gung-ho football means you'll probably lose 4-3 rather than 1-0. If you're not good enough, you're not good enough.
At this stage I'd rather lose 4-3 playing gung-ho than 1-0 playing damage limitation football. We went toe to toe with teams at the start of the season and should do so again now. We've spent £17 million on attacking players let's set up to give them the best possible service we can. We aren't good enough but at least let's go down fighting.
He's got to be the least composed player we've had when shooting since Martyn Waghorn. Imagine a midfielder with the work-rate of James and the composure of King, would be ideal!
At least with Waggy every so often one his shots would end up in the back of the net. Imagine if all of James chances had fallen to King, we would have quite a few more points
Imagine if we'd broken our transfer record to buy a couple of strikers who could finish & we had a couple of players who could provide them service.....oh wait......
Against lower teams we should be lining up 442 especially at home. We need to win games so its time to stop playing 5 defenders and certain players because its safe Get Schlupp and De Laet at full back. Knockaert and Mahrez on the wings with Ulloa and Kramaric up top and really have a go at teams Playing like that would have given Hull alot more problems last week. We might have beat them or even lost but at least we would have had a bit more of a go Draws arent good enough anymore
Can't agree more with this post, I just hope NP is reading this. Come on Nigel, lets throw caution to the wind now. We've literally got nothing to lose.
As much as i like Schlupp and think he has had a very good season he still doesn't posses the qualities that Knockaert does. I get Schlupp is much safer due to him understanding his defensive duties better but we in a position where being safe will see us relegated. Had we beat Hull then we all would have took a point tomorrow but a point is no good to us now and we need the 3. Get Schlupp at full back and get Knockaert ahead of him when he returns from France, but for the love of god stop playing Tom Lawrence who quite clearly isn't ready for the Premier League yet, try and play that other bloke you signed from Villa who yet to really show what he can do. Roll the dice
Today proved that we have to stick with what we have. We stick together fight till the end and regroup in the summer and go again and try and get back in the Premier League.
Didn't say enjoy losing! Should have said IF we lose prefer to lose 4-3 etc. Lost it in the first 15 mins today so any defensive strategy went out the door thereafter. Post saved us going 3 down but won the rest of the match 3-2!! Gave it a real go so no complaints on that front. Have to see penalty again to judge. Can't understand why KS was brought back and why Kramaric didn't come on. Hey Ho.
You know what. Today we gave our all and it fell short All we ever want, expect and demand is 11 players giving their all. Today it wasn't enough but it was good enough for me Let's fight for everything between now and the end of the season and see where that takes us. It will probably see us relegated but we have come back in the past and will again. Foxes never quit!
If we'd have played like we did yesterday against West Brom, Hull,Sunderland,Burnley,Stoke and Palace at home I'd pretty much say we'd have at least 6 more points than we have now, instead we've had this ultra negative system that has put us down, I don't buy this 'crap refs' etc as as far as I'm concerned they've been crap for years! We are were we deserve to be - bottom!
Again I agree ... giving your all and coming up short does not leave me frustrated and irritated ... he has to drop Kasper on that showing .. he has the excuse that he might have come back 'too soon' but Schwarzer had been excellent in recent games and yesterday Kasper was, quite frankly, pants.
