Secret Site Agent Posted 3 April, 2016 Share Posted 3 April, 2016 Well I thought I might start one. Only heard it on the radio but sounds like we were hard doen by with the refs decisions.......again. Fought to the end, and so did Leicester and, apart fro one blip, seemed to play well, but didn't threaten them in the second half. Well, only consolation is that they may walk away with the title, and get more head of staem on the rest. Onwards to Newcastle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarakka Posted 3 April, 2016 Share Posted 3 April, 2016 I think we deserved a penalty from Huth's handball: https://streamable.com/ryr2 But to be fair to Leicester, I honestly thought they were the better side. Also what was that Koeman, counter-attack with Pelle up front? I like the man, but I think we need to find another manager in a couple of years, I don't think we are getting past 7-8th place with him. That is while the league is going to get even tougher, with well run clubs like M'boro coming up from the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakkoUK Posted 3 April, 2016 Share Posted 3 April, 2016 We didn't play too badly in all honesty, we became a little lax towards the end which was a little frustrating when really we should of been fighting for the equaliser (lost a lot of battles). We were denied the hand ball on Huth from Austins shot, which I'm afraid to say was stonewall.. the Simpson one I would never give, he couldn't do much about it and his body would of blocked the ball anyway. We put up a good fight though, some cracking saves by Forster who kept us in the game.. we was extremely lucky that Mahrez fluffed a chance that should of been a goal all day long. But like with most games it was just that final ball that let us down, onto Newcastle now and 3 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitey Grandad Posted 3 April, 2016 Share Posted 3 April, 2016 For those of us on the other side of the world with poor Internet connections can I please ask that somebody put the score in the topic title? Please, pretty please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Posted 3 April, 2016 Share Posted 3 April, 2016 Didn't we exactly fought to the end. Think the players looked like they didn't expect to score most the game. Plenty of possession, decent build up and woeful final ball and decision making every time. Yes Leicester defending the floated crosses well but they let us have a lot of the ball around their box and a less toothless attack would have punished them. But they've become good at the 1-0. I was just hoping we'd worry them by going a goal up. But another start with 5 defenders and 3 midfielders who aren't likely to score was annoying. This season is mid table so let's at least try and be attacking and plan for next season. This back 5 gave us a good run of clean sheets but the football wasn't pretty. I think we can be more ambitious than that. It used to be one holding midfielder, some teams didn't when use one that defensive. Then two, now we play two with another fairly defensive midfielder in front whose very unlikely to score. Please god can we have 4231 with a number 10 playing off the striker? Good luck to Leicester, they've won the league easily. Embarrassing for the premier league to be honest but a great story. But it's all very well for teams like saints and stoke to bang on about higher points totals but don't underestimate how poor the league has been this season. I just want us to find a vaguely settled starting 11 that can pass and attack. Pelle was awful today, although to be fair,the rest of them were pushed off the ball very easily too. I'd like Austin to start the rest of the season to see what he can do. Hopefully Rodriguez getting games too, as those two finding any form would provide some optimism for next season. Surely Clasie and wanyama are defensive enough to allow Mane or Rodriguez to play behind a striker? Wanyamas passing was so bad today I think I'd prefer Romeu anyway. He's always decent when I see him and has a half decent shot on him. Wanyama wasn't bad and is loads better than Romeo. You have lost it tonight mate.

mrfahaji Posted 4 April, 2016 Share Posted 4 April, 2016 Think I'm right in saying that Leicester are the first team that we have failed to beat in either fixture so far this season. Hopefully it proves to be the only case all campaign...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
