Saint_clark Posted 2 October, 2016 Posted 2 October, 2016 Seems like we're forgetting how far we're playing away from our own goal?
St Chalet Posted 2 October, 2016 Posted 2 October, 2016 Like to see us extend Romeu deal, he's been brilliant this year after a solid start last season. Then he does that
kermitsaint Posted 2 October, 2016 Posted 2 October, 2016 We have looked very shaky at the back so far . We are so obsessed with passing back to the keeper ffs Sent from my SM-G925I using Tapatalk
Lighthouse Posted 2 October, 2016 Posted 2 October, 2016 Like to see us extend Romeu deal, he's been brilliant this year after a solid start last season. I thought he was largely excellent for us last season. Every bit as physical as Wanyama but more cultured on the ball and less of a card magnet. I'd say he was intended as VW's replacement when we signed him as the club would have known he didn't want to extend his contract.
BotleySaint Posted 2 October, 2016 Posted 2 October, 2016 Then he does that I think it just the way Leicester are playing. Chasing everything. Mistakes are going to happen all over the pitch. But it's been a fairly even game so far.
Heisenberg Posted 2 October, 2016 Posted 2 October, 2016 We are sitting very deep to neutralise the pace of Vardy and the ball over the top, but we need to clear our lines better and stop playing to many passes in our own final 3rd

kermitsaint Posted 2 October, 2016 Posted 2 October, 2016 Wouldn't agree with that. We pass it forwards more now than last season. Im talking about this game . With the pace of Leicesters forwards its very risky Sent from my SM-G925I using Tapatalk
Batman Posted 2 October, 2016 Posted 2 October, 2016 (edited) pretty even game. Rom been our best player Austin looks a threat when in the box (as expected) Remond a bit meh and we are looking good for a dodgy back pass Edited 2 October, 2016 by Batman
austsaint Posted 2 October, 2016 Posted 2 October, 2016 Started the game brightly - Romeu excellent apart from the back pass. Really disappointed in Redmond; doing and offering nothing - Long will have to replace him.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 2 October, 2016 Posted 2 October, 2016 Masters of our own downfall so far. All of Leicester's best chances have come from awful passes by us. What down fall...
JakkoUK Posted 2 October, 2016 Posted 2 October, 2016 Started very well with some great movement especially between Tadic and Cedric. Shame he went off with an injury as we tended to lose that once Martina came on who's been relatively shaky. Most of, if not all, Leicesters chances have come from us relatively shooting ourselves in the foot. If we carry on the next half like we started then we should get 3 points here.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 2 October, 2016 Posted 2 October, 2016 pretty even game. Rom been our best player Austin looks a threat when in the box (as expected) Remond a bit meh and we are looking good for a dodgy back pass Redmon back pass..when was that
Saint Benali Posted 2 October, 2016 Posted 2 October, 2016 Another **** half for Redmond tbh. Romeu has been our best player. Austin and Davis doing OK too Imo.
NewYorkSaint Posted 2 October, 2016 Posted 2 October, 2016 Really exciting first half. Despite our travels, we look the better team. Worth thinking about. We look better than last year's champions, playing at home, off extra rest. Our rapid passing game is a joy to watch. Davis, Hojbjerg, Romeu superb.
Batman Posted 2 October, 2016 Posted 2 October, 2016 Redmon back pass..when was that dunno. not sure what you are on about
Convict Colony Posted 2 October, 2016 Posted 2 October, 2016 Davis has been caught in possession too many times if i am being picky and betrands first 20mins of touches were the worst i've ever seen from him. Not seen too much directness in transitions through the middle to give redz or charlie a chance
saintadjg Posted 2 October, 2016 Posted 2 October, 2016 Can't believe anyone thinks it's been pretty even. Leicester look ****.talk about a one trick pony.they look like a team who will struggle in the league this year.very little in terms of quality. Other than a couple of poor passes we've been by far the better team.we are getting very good at making teams look poor lately.
eelpie Posted 2 October, 2016 Posted 2 October, 2016 Most of, if not all, Leicesters chances have come from us relatively shooting ourselves in the foot. If we carry on the next half like we started then we should get 3 points here. Er by shooting ourselves in the foot?
doddisalegend Posted 2 October, 2016 Posted 2 October, 2016 VVD worst game in a while seems to be doing an impression of Yoshida on a bad day. Still very even game as long as we can cope with Leicesters one and only tactic of pumping it long as early as possible we should get something from this game.
Ohio Saint Posted 2 October, 2016 Posted 2 October, 2016 :uhoh:This game is ours to win or lose, and we look like doing either with comfort
washsaint Posted 2 October, 2016 Posted 2 October, 2016 I actually think Redmond has been good in the very few touches he has had so far and he tracks back well. Some of his touches have been sublime and over time I am confident he will flourish under Puel. 2 mistakes at the back apart we have looked really comfortable and by far the better team. Don't think either Bertrand or Davis have had their best games but overall a solid display by Saints and you can see the team now understands Puel's way of playing and the good news is that it does not expand copious amounts of energy running round like headless chickens.
verlaine1979 Posted 2 October, 2016 Posted 2 October, 2016 Found it easy to move the ball through midfield for the first 15, but Leicester shut that door and we didn't regain the same fluency during the half. Once Slimani and Vardy started pressing, we've found it difficult to play out from the back, and when it does make it into midfield, only Romeu is passing with any urgency (Davis once again guilty of almost always picking the 100% reliable back pass even when there's a 75% forward pass on for him).
JakkoUK Posted 2 October, 2016 Posted 2 October, 2016 Er by shooting ourselves in the foot? Figure of speech: "To do something without intending to which spoils a situation for yourself". I know we have not conceded from the bad back passes, but just saying that all Leicesters chances have come from us gifting them through our own misfortune. Not sure why I had to explain that.
Saint_clark Posted 2 October, 2016 Posted 2 October, 2016 Why does every team punt it long from kick-off, even teams like us who do our best to play it short and keep the ball?
VectisSaint Posted 2 October, 2016 Posted 2 October, 2016 We've been much the better team for most of the first half and should have been a goal up. Cedrica going off was a shame because we were looking composed in defence and he was linking well with Tadica. After he went off our defence is all over the place, VvD and Romeu backpasses dreadful, lucky to get away with both. Martina has done nothing wrong per se but Fonte and Vergil and Romeu seem to play differently and make.more mistakes when he is on. Austina getting some good chances, Remonda anonymous again. Davisa and Tadica making some goodn penings and Hojbjerg looking excellent. We should get something here if there is any justice. Watching in Italy with Italian commentary by the way.
Plastic Posted 2 October, 2016 Posted 2 October, 2016 Poor old ref's having to run like a baśtard today!
Ohio Saint Posted 2 October, 2016 Posted 2 October, 2016 Poor old ref's having to run like a baśtard today! Maybe that's the way nature forces him to do everything.
Saint Albert Posted 2 October, 2016 Posted 2 October, 2016 Saints look like the better team to me. Nice spell of possession with nothing incisive. Commentators over here love Romeu. He had me worried in the Watford game. Nice to see he's found his feet.
Saint Albert Posted 2 October, 2016 Posted 2 October, 2016 Nice effort on goal by Redmond. For me he's looked comfortable on the ball and has linked up well.
Batman Posted 2 October, 2016 Posted 2 October, 2016 aaargh austin he should have done better there he was offside
Gunnery Posted 2 October, 2016 Posted 2 October, 2016 I wonder how many goals we'd have if we had a proper striker in place of Redmond...his misses will cost us.
mrfahaji Posted 2 October, 2016 Posted 2 October, 2016 Can only assume he thought Schmeichel was about to dive at his feet, then the chip would have been ideal
St Chalet Posted 2 October, 2016 Posted 2 October, 2016 Austin goes for the Hollywood goal when either side of Schmeichael is 1-0
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 2 October, 2016 Posted 2 October, 2016 If that was Long or Redmond.... the vitriol would be filling the thread..
