Crinklyfox Posted 18 February Share Posted 18 February This is where we find out if we have the mettle to be champions. We've just had one of the most ghastly matches of the season where virtually nothing went right. If we're made of the right stuff then we put in a performance on Friday, and if we do that regardless of the result it will keep the confidence high for the rest of the season. Crumble and the cracks will appear. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. But i'm not going to pretend he was much good either. He didn't stand out as overly poor because in reality he doesn't really try to do much progressive. Was slow and blowing hard pretty early on, and his fitness is a real concern. He's tidy with the ball and is positionally astute, but not a lot really happens. A few of our better players ended up trying too hard yesterday, and Praet just did what he does so appeared to make less mistakes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I respectfully disagree. Respectfully, I think he's been a problem ever since he joined us. Just doesn't do enough in a game, he looks like he's just going through the motions. Not a player you want in the team when the going gets tough. Proved that last season. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARM1968 Posted 18 February Share Posted 18 February Didn’t see him do much wrong or right yesterday, much like the rest of the team. It was a meh performance and a meh result. Over it now. Let’s move on and batter dirty Leeds - we won’t, of course, but hope springs eternal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyKopCorner Posted 18 February Share Posted 18 February Looks half hearted or not match fit to me. Does some nice things and is clearly a very good player, particularly at this level but doesn’t do enough as a number 8. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighPeakFox Posted 18 February Share Posted 18 February He did plenty right yesterday, and was much less wasteful of possession than most. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted 18 February Share Posted 18 February 4 hours ago, LCFCJohn said: This bolded bit is one if not the most nonsensical things I see on here. We are all Leicester fans and want us to win, fact. Some people are more cautious. Some people may convince themselves of the worst outcome to soften the blow of a disappointment and some people are negative by nature. But to suggest people want us to lose is just silly and that’s putting it politely! Be fair, there's a few on here that seem to delight in losing or dropping points because they hate Enzoball and want to say "I told you so" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Praet was the least of the issues. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShepshedFox1884 Posted 18 February Share Posted 18 February In every game we have lost it has been that we have struggled to score mainly because the space in the middle is restricted so we are always playing it wide and struggle to create chances from there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More so, those who question anything to do with Enzo, are met with hostility and often aggression. Personally I don’t have an issue with the style etc so haven’t been subjected to this but I read it every day on here. As such, there does become an element of I told you so I agree but I don’t see it as them wanting us not to win. They may want us to win in a different way but it is more when we don’t win, throwing it back in the faces of those who have been hostile to them more so than actively wanting us to not win. Thats my observation and how I see it anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blarmy Posted 18 February Share Posted 18 February I drove right past Elland Road this morning. Despite never having attempted it before, I did my best to put a curse on the place with an evil stare and a dismissive side glance as I wheeled off for my roundabout exit. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuchsntf Posted 18 February Share Posted 18 February 57 minutes ago, LCFCJohn said: Not intending to be insulting but it irks me when people are accused of not wanting us to win because they are not necessarily always happy with things or have a negative observation, hence why in my initial response to you I suggested numerous reasons why people react differently. I was replying in the context of this season. I do find the notion that people could not want us to win for the sole purpose of having a moan nonsensical. Maybe that does make me naive. You then brought up the situation with Rodgers which is fair enough albeit seems a bit like changing the goalposts but I responded to that point honestly but saying I hadn’t thought about that as it wasn’t the context in which I was replying to you. But I do think it’s a different scenario. For someone to not want us to win, in a season we are doing so well just to moan about stuff would be poor form and reflect more of them no? I agree with that. As I say, with the Rodgers situation, it was people hoping it’d force the change for the good of the team. I never said it myself as I didn’t have faith in Top to make the change. But honestly, if it was possible to guarantee stuff in the future, and you were told, let’s say before that Palace game, if we lose, Rodgers will go, a new manager will come in during the international break and we will definitely stay up. Or you can have a last minute equaliser, Rodgers will stay until it’s too late and we will go down. What would you have thought then? But it’s the panic around one , or 2 games… look by good play and fortune we have built a buffer,that it from 15 pts with other teams having strong runs,would decrease to 5-8 pts Which is quite a comfortable position we forged.. We lose to Leeds then it’s still 6 pts, where we would with a good wind still keep our positive performances running and still on for 109-112 pts. We might drop to that loss of record 105 pts and still win the league… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan LCFC Posted 18 February Share Posted 18 February (edited) Jesus I didn't realise there was a fair chance that we could be only 6 ahead of 3rd this time next week. We just need to not lose this. I'd love us to win though. We're about due a result in a game like this. Edited 18 February by Dan LCFC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly a player to cause excitement. As you say, not likely to make many mistakes because he doesn't actually try much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ipswich have 2 very winnable home games this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wardyfox86 Posted 18 February Share Posted 18 February (edited) I'm not sure I trust or defence against their attack, it's a scary prospect. Can't see us taking anything although probably won't be a poor performance. I, for one, won't be panicking just yet. The 4 fixtures after the QPR game will be huge, though Edited 18 February by wardyfox86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't watch, but Pipes on RL was saying how good he thought he played. Disappointing to see some posters attack him on here for sport. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In both Middlesbrough games and the Hull game, we created more than enough chances to win the game, but just had off days. I don’t think chance creation was a problem - look at Saturday, we had at least 4 clear cut opportunities, on another day we win all three of those games. The Leeds game was a bit of a stalemate, their one decent chance fell for them, our one decent chance their keeper pulled off a worldie of a save. - I do think this was the only game where we failed to create anything meaningful. That will need to be looked at here, but I think if Mavididi and Fatawu are firing then we give them all sorts of problems. I’d go with Daka from the start and Vardy for the last 20. The biggest problem is who gives us that physical presence in midfield? I’d be tempted to go with Choudhury over Praet for that purpose. It would mean KDH and Winks would need to be on top form though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
