You turned the TV off? How the hell can you do this?

It’s usually a red button on the top left.

On top of the obvious we- mainly Mads -gave them the ball 5/6 times with poor passes good job they didnt take advantage

I can remember two times he just passed it for the sake of it, that would be punished in the prem tjat's his only downfall... will learn though

Turned the TV off with 10 to go as I could see this.

 

Only thing I can think is that Enzo and the players are only doing a job and they just don't think like a fan and see this game as a chance to go 9 clear of second and deal a mental blow to Ipswich and anyone chasing.

 

No doubt I'll be ridiculed for moaning we're only 6 points ahead.

 

I feared we may take a halfass attitude into this one.

 

I'm disappointed 

 

Nice move replicating that home stadium feel 😂

[Górnik Leicester]

Win the next four, which culminates with the Ipswich home game, and we could mathematically be starting the thread where we mark teams off that can't catch us.

they were the better side and came up from league 1. of course they are going to rim them

Fair play to come up from L1 but a better side? II guess if you only saw last 30 mins or so

[Mark]

Enzo happy with 30 minutes in second half where we controlled the game apparently, didn't look like it to me and 0 shots in that time 🤷‍♂️

They didn't really threaten as we defended well, but a 1 goal lead is always dangerous and its frustrating that we were not more positive to get the 2nd goal. This team doesn’t look like it has a clean sheet in it when put under 45 minutes of sustained pressure.

I think we got the balance right with killing time and taking a chance to counter - the issue wasn't a lack of willingness it was a lack of quality - we had numerous overloads even after casadei came on, only for nacho and mavididi (primarily) to balls it up.

Having won the majority of our games this season, what exactly is it that 'we never learn'?

We never learn to finish teams off… shit tippy tappy football, when we should get rid, especially with a few seconds to go. 
You obviously haven’t been most away games.

probably one who moans because they don’t do the miles…Happy New Year…..👍👍🦊🦊😂😂

Guess you must love this result then.

 

Wrong decision. Wrong result. Hopefully the 2 pts doesn't end up mattering in the end.

I love football without the interruptions, you win some you lose some. If it does it’s not because of tonight. Should have finished the game in the first half. 

[UniFox21]

Wasted our opportunity given we were ahead until 90+ mins. 

 

However, the equaliser had been coming, they missed several big chances and we ultimately didn't have the luck of the officials. 

 

But, another big point. 

 

We're 6 clear of 2nd, 11 clear of 3rd and 14 clear of the self claimed best team in the league.

We are top by six points.  Calm down.

But does that only point out how poor the rest of the league is???

Biased commentary peed me off constantly wishing ipswich to score 😡

Jesus christ do sky want to rim Ipswich any more! 🙄

I’d be annoyed if I was an Ipswich fan. They’ve been talking about them like they’re a team from a lower division, not second in the league. 

[winteriscoming]

It’s a decent point if we win the next two games. 

[Ste]

Not our day today, felt like we never settled or got going despite being 1 up.

 

Before the Saturday games I'd have taken a point today but wanted a win after seeing Leeds put them to the sword last weekend.

 

Ultimately probably a fair result on reflection but couldn't have moaned had we come away with nothing after that second half performance.

 

Feels like 2 dropped now but by the end of the month that will be 1 gained

You turned the telly off with 10 mins to go, then accuse others of having a half arsed attitude. 🤦‍♂️

Weirdly feel even more confident of success after that

Similar vibe to Arsenal 15/16 for me 

[turlo]

Frustrating that even though we lost control of the game in the second half we had several chances to break away on the counter but our decision making and/or final pass was poor. Strange to take off our two most physical midfielders towards and replace them both with lightweight creative players - would've prefered to bring hamza for one of Wilf or KDH if they had to come off.

Because i could sense what was coming.

 

Tell a lie, I didn't turn the TV off, I put the PlayStation on.

 

 

[jmono84]

Any team can look on top of you if you simply give the ball in the middle of the pitch time and time again.

 

Our players seemed like they didn’t know what the plan was constantly. Get the video out Enzo and review this because we handed that game to them.

[filbertway]

Barely looked arsed about the game and it was comfortable. Were simply well above this league and its just a case of getting through the games and putting in at least 50% effort 

 

Be shocked if Ipswich finish top 2 now. They've looked embarrassingly toothless against us and Leeds. If they go up they'll smash derby's record.

 

Fair to McKenna, the stuff he's got that squad doing is sensational. He's gonna do well for himself.

[hejammy]

Nacho is probably the laziest footballer I've ever seen. Far lazier than even Le Tissier. Honestly I don't know what Enzo see's in him?

Don’t compare winning the premier to this crock of s*** shouldn't even be in this division, should be very clear we’re much better than the rest, this game was way to even for my liking considering the gap in quality

[Mike Oxlong]

Agcun and Casadei were just too lightweight for what we took off in midfield. This was what cost us the three points IMO

Is this the equivalent of walking out on 85 minutes at a home game!!!
