Hernandez isn't a flair player but he thinks he is, that's his problem. N'Doye is a good player but seems to have given up now. A lot of foreign players seem to have attitude problems and he's one of them. He came here as a shop window and now he's had enough. It was embarrassing him rolling around in first half injury time trying to get their lad sent off.
And when he screamed Iike a girl and went down holding his face. Obviously trying to get a player sent off. ****ing embarrassing. Then he did that dabbing his mouth with his hand and shirt thing that all players do when they fake/exaggerate an injury. Desperately searching for the merest drop of blood to show the ref. EDIT: You beat me to it.
Earlier in the season we looked a really solid nailed on midtable team What's changed so much for us to end up going back down And I don't think we can blame injuries that much
Think it all boils down to the midfield get that right and your laughing, we haven't, a good midfield takes the pressure of the defence, supplies the strikes with quality balls.
Home game against West Ham. We drew it but we looked quality. We played a 4-3-3 of some form I think. But because we conceded a couple of goals, Bruce panicked and went all defensive after that. Turned out that West Ham were just a much better team than anyone credited them for at that point and there was no need to panic. We never lined up like that again.
Yeah I think we lack that link up player It's just the constant attacking in instalments that pisses me off No zip or counter attack
yes I know what you mean, when we get the ball its like the game stop's till the opposing team get's back in place.
I've never seen N'Doye have a good game in person - maybe I'm just unlucky. Yesterday, like the other times I've seen him - looked lethargic and didn't really challenge for the ball. Think we needed Jela to start to give a bit of bite to the attack!
Some would call that 'playing the game' - experienced teams do it against us to pick up cheap free kicks/break up plays/slow the game down. Doesn't mean its the right thing to do but sometimes if you can't beat em join em. If we were in a good position or had won yesterday I doubt you'd be raising this
We seemed very predictable in the second half yesterday, especially after Jelavic came on. That isn't a criticam of him. We became happy to roll the ball across to Elmo so he could cross it into the middle in the hope that someone would get on the end of it. Brady got tied down looking after Boyd. N'Doye was almost non-existent on the left so nothing went down that side. I was in the Circle restaurant afterwards. Deano said that Burnley were the better team. I thought we deserved a draw. Still, what's to stop Leicester beating Sunderland and Newcastle losing to QPR next week? All right, we'd still have to beat Spurs but we're not down yet.
Look who wants favours from us now. Have things have changed from us being **** and out of our league with a manager who is completely out his depth. I read one comment that made me laugh the other day that you won't go down over a team that has a front line of Vardy and Nugent But best of luck for the few of you that a decent on here. For what its worth we have beaten Tottenham at White Hart Lane and Man U at home. Tottenham are unpredictable, they could easily smash you off the park just as easy as you beating them and Man U might be on holiday mode by then
To be fair not even your manager, players or even the most optimistic of your fans would have predicted you'd win 6 from 7 and stay up. You looked long gone, but fair play you managed to find a way to win at the right time.
I thought after we didn't beat you that we was down. After Tottenham we all said we needed to win 5 from 9 and no one thought that was possible. It since turned out not even 5 wins would have been enough to keep us up. Performances haven't changed too much recently just Huth has sorted out the backline and were taking our chances now Steve Bruce has been in this spot before so you just have to back him. The question I asked not long ago when there was talk of sacking Pearson was if we had no manager and looked at the managers out of a job who would have been the best manager? And the answer was Pearson and might be the same with you and Bruce
I did a predictor a few weeks ago, before we played Swansea I think. We looked alright at the time but with some horrible fixtures and Leicester were still bottom, dead and buried etc. I had them staying up and us finishing bottom. Obviously I wasn't entirely right (I was never going to be) but their turn-around didn't seem all that unlikely to me. They had a lot of favourable games still to play.
I was at Leicester for our game with you a few weeks back and every Leicester fan I spoke to that afternoon were begging us to take Pearson back.
The real Leicester fans have always backed Pearson. I haven't called for his head once since he returned As a football fan Its good to see a club back a manager through a rough patch and be rewarded for it. It proves sacking a manager isn't always the answer
