Foxes 0 Sly Old Foxy Stoats 4 (Leicester Away 1/9/2018)

[therevivalist]

The second most expensive keeper in the world just made a big fool of himself; making space for himself on youtube for the foreseeable future. 

[clangers]

No more Henderson please.

True, he looked very leggy. A win is a win especially good when we're not on form. Would like to see Fabhino and Keita established as our first choices in midfield asap. Shame AOC isn't available as he'd slot in very nicely.

[Aventus]

We started 2013-14 slowly too scraping a load of 1-0 wins.

 

Once we picked up the pace we ended up doing alright though.

 

 

I definitely think it's a good thing that we are winning games in the fashion that we are.

[skend04]

No more Henderson please.

This all day long. Even with increased competition he has a great knack for being a MIA shithouse. He should not be anywhere near the starting midfield lineup.

[Evelyn Tentions]

Achterbergs coaching starting to weave its magic.

[etho]

Joe Gomez, absolutely excellent.

[Jennings]

Good words from Millie. Recognising the poor areas of our play, but also recognising the importance of winning ugly.

[Trumo]

Phew.

 

Not a good performance. Lots of sloppiness in possession, and Alisson needs to cut that shit out pronto. Can't even blame Achterburg for that one!

 

We were outmanned in midfield, but we had our own problems with the selection of Gini, Hendo and Milner as the midfield 3. A lot of people are saying we should only select one of Milner or Hendo and not both, but I think the real issue is having Gini and Hendo in there against sides that like to exert pressure from time to time.

 

Gini is better and quicker at turning and getting us moving up the pitch. He is also much more comfortable receiving the ball in tight spaces with opponents closing him down. Hendo STILL shits himself in those situations. Teams will see this and close him down even more to the point where we are a man short in midfield and under the cosh.

 

Our front 3 were all below their best again today, but the guys behind them didn't help at all. Midfield-wise, it's really looking like an either/or to select Milner and Hendo.

 

12 points out of 12, but plenty of things to work on and improve.

Henderson was fucking shite. I think he's improved under Klopp but Fabinho is just a better footballer than he is and I also think Wijnaldum would be better than him as the holding player. 

[Jairzinho]

Looking forward to seeing Keita and Fabinho start most games. A midfield of Wijnaldum, Henderson and Milner, predictably, wasn't very good.

 

Ace that we've got a back five that is genuinely pretty good (fuck up apart today, obviously) to withstand the pressure put on us by the midfield, at times, completely unable to control a football match.

Yup, god knows when that's going to be though when Fabinho can't even get on the bench ahead of a non-entity like Lallana.

 

Gomez and Allison has transformed the defence, huge upgrades on Lovren and Mignolet.

[an tha]

We've scrapped our way through this early period and 12 pts is a perfect return.

 

Now it really starts to get tough and the games come thick and fast and we have some really tough ones coming up

 

Fingers crossed the poxy international shite does not cost us injuries (why the fuck the shite is on when there has just been the world cup i don't know) and we use this platform we have created for ourselves and as we hit our stride keep picking up results

 

Our rivals all have problems with players not having pre seasons etc and we should be ready for them.

 

Bring it on.

[Evelyn Tentions]

Phew.

Too fucking right it's down to Achterberg.

Goalkeeping basics:dont diddly crap around imitating Messi, get the ball upfield or out of play

[Aventus]

Henderson was fucking shite. I think he's improved under Klopp but Fabinho is just a better footballer than he is and I also think Wijnaldum would be better than him as the holding player.

Henderson has been alright in his substitute cameos, so I do think he deserved the start, I don't blame Klopp really.

 

He wasn't alright in the game he started though, so he deserves to be put on the subs bench again.

 

 

I think it's just a case of figuring out which Midfield partnerships work best, the way I see it we can put a nice big X against today's three.

Next time we'll try a different lineup and see what sticks.

For all we know Hendo, Fabinho, and Keita could be the best partnership in the league, won't find out til we try it though.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Henderson's days should be numbered as a starter. Agree with others about him. No good when pressed.

[Harry Squatter]

Only hope that we are conserving energy levels and effort for September 15th onwards. We have a massive run of games against decent teams starting with Spurs and if we play like this we could be punished by them, PSG, Napoli, Chelsea and Man City.

[magicrat]

Shit performance but saw the game out well after Allison fucked up.  Not sure where all this Leicester wankfest is coming from. Huffed and puffed but created little,

Fair play to the lads as its a game we would have not seen out last season.

[Shitty Arse]

Achterbergs coaching starting to weave its magic.

He didn’t make a single unforced error for Roma all season last year. 4 games in for us. Uncanny isn’t it?!

[KMD7]

Vardy's bird looks rough.

Still would though

[magicrat]

Kloppo must have watched another game

[El Rojo]

He didn’t make a single unforced error for Roma all season last year. 4 games in for us. Uncanny isn’t it?!

Still would though.

[Jennings]

Achterberg getting the blame for that. Really?

[clangers]

Still we can sit back and hopefully enjoy a few screw up's elsewhere. I hate early Saturday kick off's as when we lose it fucks up the entire weekend as I'm usually fuming for the best part of a week.

[Thoth]

Dreadful second half but we got the 3 points, move on. Oh and Allison don’t do that again knobhead

[El Rojo]

Achterberg getting the blame for that. Really?

I blame the high priest of throw-ins. I don’t recall anything like that happening before his watch.
