Match Thread Leicester City v. Sheffield United - 14th March 2021

[Russ]

We haven’t had a shot. Not sure if we’ve had a “move” either.

 

[Iceybabey]

Burke doing a brilliant Dean Hammond impression. Unseen!

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

get rid of 70% of that squad

 

[BangorBlade]

You can argue all day about the pros and cons of Wilder leaving, but what you can't argue about is the absolute shite team he's left us with

And how long will it be before AK fcks off to Wilder

 

[FredZeppelin]

As usual, we are virtually playing with 10 men having Lundstram in the team.
He has developed, though. Hi s 5-yard backwards passes are now 10-20 yard backward passes.
What an absolute waste of a shirt. Get rid!
utb

 

[Blend-it-like-Harris]

Defenders with heads riveted to their necks so they can't move it around to see what's happening anywhere other than in front of them wouldn't get more than one game for me.

Sooner the better

 

[kwood989]

Leicester might as well play with an outfield player in net, has Schmeichel even used his hands yet?

I think he clapped when they scored, but apart from that no.

 

[SilkyBlade]

Leicester been very average but we are so fucking poor..in possession so narrow no one running in between channels (miss Didsy so much) and midfield is non-existent (Fleck trying but no options)...out of possession even worse so slow. Looks like Wilder has promised Bryan a job!

 

[MalmoBlade]

Hope anyone who thought changing the manager was the answer is watching this. Utter shite

Yes, because that's the shite he left us with, the shite he's been offering up all season long

 

[CurseofOnuora]

No shots at all... terrible again. Its just totally predictable and boring

 

[jt64]

I think the number of posts in this matchday thread speaks volumes. Probably the lowest I've seen in 5 years.

Have we touched the ball in their box yet?

Twice per Sky

<75% passing is pathetic

 

[CoatesyBlade]

It’s just the same old shit we’ve seen all season long. Zero endeavour, zero threat, tired system, nothing to get excited about, same players half arse’ing it!
It’s just awful to watch your team too scared to have a go at the opposition. Last year the brief was ‘let’s go toe to toe’... this season
On a positive note... Ramsdale, Amps, Baldock, Fleck have looked like they’re still up for it

 

[YES Blade]

Hope anyone who thought changing the manager was the answer is watching this. Utter shite.

Sacking Wilder wasn’t going to magically turn us into a better team, but watching today is the exact reason Wilder needed to go. He was stealing a living serving up these performances every week.

 

[MalmoBlade]

I can only hope the lack of time to do anything else has led to this continuation of the crap we've had to suffer. FA Cup and Leeds games will tell us more

 

[jono_t2000]

No better no worse than Wilderball. Pretty much same old,

0 shots, so at least got some continuity there

 

[SB_90]

im sure ill be right next August but i just cant get into this game. its weird because ive seen end of Heath, Warnock, Robson, Blackwell, Speed, Adams, Wilson, Morgan, Weir, Clough & Adkins.

but this feels empty. alot like after gary speed tragedy

 

[Beaker blade]

Spent 130 million pounds. Not a penny of it on the pitch.
Blades waaaaaaaYyyyyyyyggg

Ramsdale pal is playing

 

[bakeblade]

Hope anyone who thought changing the manager was the answer is watching this. Utter shite.

The ex manager has caused this

 

[FredZeppelin]

get rid of 70% of that squad

I don't agree, mate.
I think a lot of these players will be excellent in the Championship. They just have zero confidence and have no clue what system we are playing.
With a new manager, new tactics, the usual back three in place, and a new approach I think we'll start to look like a good team again next season.
UTB

 

[blademark]

Embarrassingly bad. My advice is to watch the cricket, we are pretty good at that.

All 4 of whom will be sold/returned.

UTB.

There's a lot of strolling going on out there. A lot of only running when the ball in within 5 metres.

I expected it to be a bit flat, but some of those players need cups thrown at them. Oliver Burke is currently on minus points. All he does is close down and opponent fairly slowly but hasn't made one genuine attempt to win the ball. Looks lost upfront. Wandering around. It's worse when he gets the ball. Bryan is so sloppy and slow against Vardy. Does one thing well then gives it away.

Singled out but just the worst of a bad bunch, keeper aside.

I watched Leeds versus Chelsea yesterday and it was non-stop. Hardly let up for 90 minutes. Chelsea players looked shocked! We've not managed a minute of tempo or determination.

 

[Lawrence]

Wilder team, Embarrassingly sad

 

[McGoaldrick]

You can argue all day about the pros and cons of Wilder leaving, but what you can't argue about is the absolute shite team he's left us with

And that’s why it’s so bizarre that Wilder and many fans are offended by the proposal of a DoF. 100% needed

 

[BobblesBlade]

I’ve gone to Villa

 

[Jon B]

Bryan's been awful all game

It's like he's the only person playing or watching who doesn't know that their No.9 is quite quick.

 

[essyoueffsee]

Hate to say it but for all his effort Sharp is ineffective, his only attribute is scoring a tap in or a pen. We need mobile, pacey strikers to have a chance in games like this.

 

[knowsnowt]

Sacking Wilder wasn’t going to magically turn us into a better team, but watching today is the exact reason Wilder needed to go. He was stealing a living serving up these performances every week.

Today's offering is by far worse than anything I saw whilst Wilder was in charge, bar maybe west ham.
As I said yesterday let just try and keep the score respectable. Can't really blame the players for being shell shocked.

 

[JPSharpy93]

Least it’s only 1-0, at least there’s only 45 minutes left
