Ffs - havertz makes lovely little runs into the box. Kova and mount keep going wide. Same as when Werner is on

Edited January 19, 20215 yr by nonotnowjim

Some similar issues to last year emerging.

- Multiple players getting sucked in out wide and then being taken out by a simple pass. 

- Poor pressing and energy in general.

- Playing the ball around the outside of Leicester’s block in the U shape of death. Not being willing to take the ball on inside.

Why is Havertz on the bench? The boy is lacking confidence hardly going to regain it sitting on the bench.

This has been a problem for a long long time. We got reliant on Hazard making things happen.

Havertz understand the game much better than Kovacic and Mount but sadly Lampard didn't build the team around him... Now it seems a bit too late.

When Jorginho starts the game we haven't been down at half time, looks like he's the only one that brings some stability because in every other case we just surrender very fast.

Anything else and we just lose out at the first half.

Are you under contractual obligation to mention Jorginho every time we go behind?

I certainly don’t feel the team is more “stable” when everyone and their granny jogs past slow motion Jorg.

We are going to put a 60mil bud in for Albrighton. I hear he is the new drinky. 

Reece looking shaky so far

He not even on the bench ffs. ?

We never take a shot from outside the box.

Chilly B is... Well. Distracted. 

We are getting destroyed.

Is this a wind up? He is playing!

Whether he's the long term solution is debatable, whether he's better than Kepa however absolutely isn't!

For example, that shot Mendy has just got fly's in under Kepa and is made to look unsavable.

I can’t work out if you’re on a wind up or just thick as pigs sh*t...

This season when Jorginho was in the starting lineup we never surrendered in the first half, without him the game was over after 45 minutes multiple times now. That's a fact regardless of your feelings, sorry.

Tough to watch this.  Just doesn't look like any cohesion or quality out there.  Biggest test of the season for Frank and the team.  A loss, and well, I think it could make for an interesting day tomorrow.

That is 2 long range shots from Leicester. Why do we ever do this?

Yup. Tbf it's an issue for lots of teams but seems to be an indicator of when we are playing poorly.

Yeah I just noticed now. Has he got a knock?

Have you ever seen a team full of so much individual flair and talent, play so badly together? The funny thing is, everyone sees it week in, week out, yet Frank changes nothing.

Was just thinking this. How can we have so many talented youngsters and look this disjointed? I still can’t tell you our best starting XI and it’s January. Worrying.

Leicester looks like they will open us up with each attack 

Kovacic with the ball is very good. Without not sure. Anyway Rodgers' has idea of this game is better.
