 Vestergarde was woeful

 

It’s this with Evans and Soyuncu for me. Inject that foot every game if they have to. We need Evans playing

One of Schmeichel's worst games for us, without making a howling error that led to a goal.

 

Was he on the piss last night? 

 

Needs to be commanding the box better, and needs to cut out the erratic stuff at the back. 

 

He invited pressure on us all game long.

 

He basically did everything wrong that I used to do as a keeper, so I'd know. It's exactly why I never got as far as I should have done. 

Being honest he's a brilliant shot stopper but he has never really authoritatively commanded the box and his distribution can be a real liability. Still amazed at that considering his experience.

That is absolutely awful defending by Vestergaard at the end.  Just slightly worse than his defending on Napolis first goal. 
 

lookman ndidi Tielemans barnes

               Nacho vardy

 

please and thank you 

 

edit: also can I ask what Bertrand has done to nail down the starting spot? Id prefer Timmy or Luke over him. Ricardo being injured again sucks.

I’m no manager but can anyone with any knowledge please explain why Bertrand is a better option than Luke Thomas

Cos Thomas can’t chip corners into the keepers hands ….

How do you know if you turned it off? Did you go shopping instead? I bet you are one of those "fans" who leaves 20 minutes early so he can get home in time to watch some c grade celebs bake cakes.

Yeah.. but no. How do I know what? I've followed Leicester long enough to know if a game is highly likely to ruin my weekend. Kind Regards, Inferior Fan.

Lookman looks like will be a very good player for us shame he got taken off as thought he was playing well. Burnley are horrible though really wish they would just go back down. Dyche must have no ambition to manage a decent club signing a new contract with them. 

To be fair, at one point the camera was on him and he looked to be limping slightly so he may have picked up a knock.

[Mark]

Was Ricardo injured? If not surely the change was Castagne for Bertrand

Does it count as a hat trick for vardy today?. Honestly thought think we have started this season really poorly. Summit in the locker room must be up.

Chang in strategy, this season we are going to be cr*p at the start of the season and outstanding at the end. Trust me!!!

Reminds me of the season after we won the leauge

Vestergaard turns out to be a donkey. Colour me surprised...

Thought Vardy's two goals (for us) were very enjoyable, old school Vards!

absolutely they were. its great to see but we struggled against a burnley side we really should be beating easily if we are aiming for top 4

[Jack1993]

I spent a lot of time wondering whether Lookman was good enough for us when we were linked and now I’m wondering whether we’re good enough for him 😂

He’s never been the most commanding goalkeeper in the world but makes up for it in shot stopping. 

I've always said that as well, but you look at the keepers the best teams have in the league, and they're not shot stoppers. 

 

Now I think that's wrong to a point. I don't think Man City will win a Champions League with Ederson in goal because the bloke dives like an outfield player, it's actually hilarious. At some point when you play the best teams, you're going to need your keeper to make some saves.

 

However if you're one of the better teams in the premier League, I'm coming around to the thinking that you're much better off with a 9/10 crosses, 6/10 shot stopping sort of keeper than the other way around.

 

How often do we just crumble under pressure when the box starts to be peppered? We look so frail and unfortunately I'm beginning to think that Kasper is one of the big reasons for that.

he doesn’t move well or position himself well, he doesn’t look good to me, very weak as well

Vardy tied top scorer in the league now 

All 5 goals from open play.

Last season, 4 of his first 5 were pens.

[lcfc_forever]

Nacho must start with Vardy moving forward. If that means taking Barnes out of the team, we have to do it. They're too good together and our most effective forward partnership. 

 

I understand why Rodgers didn't want to play Ihenacho as he's wants to control the midfield, and worried it becomes like a basketball game if we have so many forwards. But the reality was Ndidi looked unsure of his role with Soumare alongside him, and we looked at our most comfortable in a 4-2-3-1 with Ndidi and Tielemans as deep-lying midfielders, with Ihenacho linking midfield to attack. 

 

I've said this before - missing Fofana and Evans is like Liverpool missing Van Dijk and Gomez the previous season. We lack solidity, and that spreads uncertainty through the team, even though our attacking play is improving.

 

Positives -  Ihenacho yet again had a assist/goal in the game, Vardy shows no signs of ageing,  we kept going and Maddison kept the ball well when he came on. 

Negatives - defence generally, especially Vestergaard and Bertrand, Schmeichel's kicking, set piece defending specifically, Ndidi was poor for most of the game, and gave the silly free kick away that nearly cost us, and Tielemans isn't up to speed yet. That said, their two goals were one own goal, and one brilliant piece of quality, otherwise Burnley didn't create much. 

 

Evans and Castagne surely come into the defence for the next game.

He has got back that sharpness, need to play him and nacho up top… get Vardy into scoring positions more 

[Unabomber]

Does anyone know why there was only 4 mins added on? Pope wasted 5 mins on his own that I counted, then there was at least 5 subs so that’s 7.5 mins plus all the other time wasting? Seemed abit suspect and dodgy.

i think that shows the level of our performances right now. best thing about that was woods goal being disallowed

I missed the disallowed part of the goal...switched off when it went in, threw a tantrum, shouted at the kids and swore a lot...

 

I've only just found out by visiting the post match thread
