Napoli, A Match Thread

Very poor performance - they don’t look to be giving 100% effort 

[EastAnglianFox]

It's Soyuncu ain't it? It's like he makes everybody nervous 

[CosbehFox]

This game will be won by what team wants it more. Napoli have largely strolled around and made the most of our errors. They aren’t interested in the slightest at playing at a high tempo. 
 

It’s all about effort, grit and bollocks from here on.

If we shut up shop at the back, we should win this with better movement and passing up front. 

Not sure us and shutting up shop go hand in hand!

[Vacamion]

 

Napoli are pathetic. 

 

Only a real loser of a club would let a two goal lead slip in Europe...

 

[cruzFOX]

EPIC half time team talk needed from Rogers. We can step up a gear and hammer Napoli but have to stop making stupid mistakes in defense.

Other than our inability to do anything defensively we've done ok.

You'll find that's a fairly major concern.

[chrisfox]

honestly I'm quite enjoying this one for some reason, both teams equally bad defensivly, both look reasonbly dangerous on the attack, refs beena bit shit and someone's gonna need to build an Ark to get everbody home

The ball can be anywhere but I thought Vardy put himself into the defender's running path. At least that's how it seemed to me

 

Wasn't just a 'coming together' though, Vards got a proper shove in the back. Similar to the pens in 'that' Man City game.

 

Looked marginally offside anyway, so...

Sure he said it was his first goal since 2019?

He’s just come back from a long term injury. That’s BT made a thing of his goal

Leicester City - extreme weather specialists.  

Except Bertrand 

[Duquesne Whistle]

Jesus, that was a bit breathless.

Can't fault the resilience they've shown, can fault the defending. We should take this 2nd half against this Napoli XI.

Fingers crossed.

Soyuncu positioning in this game is so terrible, he's been caught out at least 3 times

So are both our full backs

[sishades]

Newcastle must be relishing playing us on Sunday. Guaranteed two goals.

Get back in the Corona thread where you belong  

[RowlattsFox]

Vardy has been disappointing, doesn't do enough to get involved. 

[Hammo]

Barnes’ horrendous pass at the end summed up that half. Error after error after error.

Yes, why? Point is both teams are about the same in quality. Who runs hardest will win the game 

[Ian Nacho]

These are shite

[RGFox]

Think Bertrand off at HT, ideally Ricky on but is he injured?

 

Decent comeback but god our defence can't hold a line. Cags and especially Bertrand been poor.

Is it the insight, or the use of 'what team' that has left you in awe?

Sadly I think that is the case. He's been a completely different player since the Euros. He really needs some time out of the team. Perhaps once Justin comes back be can slot in for a game or two to give Cags time to reset.

 

Saying that, I stand by what I said: Bertrand needs to be subbed.

We do not remotely have the capacity to do that. Have to win it 5-4 imo
