With our possession we create zilch, and bore the shit. Plymouth get tired or just as bored as us and we sneak a goal. Happy Days. Yes it’s just terrible at the moment, let’s try and get Rodgers back as things were so much better. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamble92 Posted 8 December 2023 Share Posted 8 December 2023 As much of what we play is almost anti-football at times, especially in these type of home games - I feel like there is so many of these type of games for us to get the standard 1-0 or 2-0 wins. I am a Maresca fan but I do feel like the philosophy was kind of disguised a bit because it's come from Man City. It's very much more about the other team not having the ball enough and that meaning they only score 1 at best. That obviously won't happen in the Premier League and I feel like a lot needs adjusting. But for now we should slowly win these kind of games without issue. Won't be a great watch again though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hang about, possession based football is anti-football? How does that work? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lutterworth Fox Posted 8 December 2023 Share Posted 8 December 2023 Dreamt last night that we beat Plymouth 8-2. Can recall the ball being kicked about, in fact l was involved in some of the play, but have no recollection of any goals being scored. Maybe we won 8-2 on corners whatever, perhaps tomorrow will be the day we give somebody a good thrashing.

Spudulike Posted 8 December 2023 Share Posted 8 December 2023 I'm quite enjoying going into games not knowing anything about the opposition. More surprises than being in the PL when everything is already known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicesterseddon Posted 8 December 2023 Share Posted 8 December 2023 Would quite like to see a bit more urgency in the first 30mins or so. Been quite a lot of similar home games when we've looked extremely comfortable early doors, not really conceding any chances, but not really doing much ourselves. Would feel better if we took control of games more, rather than the current tactic which seems to revolve around waiting for the opposition to tire.

FoxinNotts Posted 8 December 2023 Share Posted 8 December 2023 Can’t see Vards, Kel or JJ in the training video or the photos, so I’m guessing these are the ‘doubts’ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ely fox Posted 8 December 2023 Share Posted 8 December 2023 That was a great win at West Brom. But a lot of you on here were moaning before that game about our manager, even though we were top of the league because of a couple of bad results. Let’s just get behind the team and smash Plymouth tomoz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think it's brilliant, but taking time for players to get to muscle memory stage collectively. We are top of the league and have an approach that means we still have capacity for players to grow together. Remember when every corner was a disaster?

I watch us every week so don't try and patronise me Mr.Fossil. I'm not criticising that way of playing. It clearly has worked. I just don't think it's going to ever win fans over that aren't already. I don't believe there's these other gears that people speak of. I think this is how we play and that's it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
