Ah well, ni mind, it's been a great season, a European place was still in our grasp with 3 games to go great

 

[aBladeInTheNorthernSky]

could have done without Bournemouth hammering them in their last match, you can see how fired up they've been from the first whistle. Still, with other teams playing each other I thought we needed 6 points from the last 3 games to finish in the top 7. let's react from this and finish with two wins and it puts us right in there.

 

[VwBlade]

Probably the worst we’ve played all season.

We were definitely worse against the Geordies and Manure

 

[A Storm of Blades]

It is though. There were at least some mitigating circumstances in the three shit shows post lockdown.

This has just been wank from start to finish.

Mitigating circumstances are not, we’ve played worse than this

 

[Tony_Kaufman]

Everton is arguably the easiest game of our last three. Leicester was always going to be tricky. An out of form team with lots of injuries and suspensions. Everything pointed to a loss. A bit like when we played Spurs. We had key players missing, were coming off the back of bad results and everything suggested a Spurs win.

Soton is going to be the hardest of the three matches. They're in decent form and have nothing to play for. There's no pressure on them whatsoever.

 

[nickwr37]

You sure?

 

[Bladesman98]

It’s just a deflated performance after some cracking results unfortunately

 

[BettingBlade]

We were definitely worse against the Geordies and Manure

Man U are a completely different side to the one that we played at the start of the season and we were very much in the game until the red card at Newcastle.

We’ve not been anywhere near in this. We’d Morgan has made our front line look Sunday league. Wes....Morgan ffs

 

[VwBlade]

Not a great performance tonight granted but Leicester are a genuinely good team who are probably gonna qualify for the CL. Let's not all start taking Deludamol and thinking we've got a divine right to beat every team in the league

Mitigating circumstances are, you can forgive those performances. Jacking it in for 90 minutes you cannot.

We’ve not been anywhere near in this. We’d Morgan has made our front line look Sunday league. Wes....Morgan ffs

Premier League winner Wes Morgan...

 

[bromtom]

Not at it at all.

They're quicker in a race, and quicker to get the ball out of their feet. Been a bit better since the subs came on but not winning second balls, we've lacked creativity, been careless in possession, and had some very poor decision making.

Hopefully it's a blip and we're back at it next game, but with the last few games efforts you can't moan too much.

 

[Rusty]

Rodgers has got his tactics spot on, made us look poor, which we have been. Onwards and upwards UTB

 

[HD8 Blades]

Playing a top 4 side and for spells second half we’ve looked good. Admittedly well off if first half. Are we too used to turning over established pl sides?

 

[BettingBlade]

Premier League winner Wes Morgan...

He’s not played all season. He’s come into the side and bullied our front line. Leicester are missing a lot of their first team and we’ve not got anywhere close to them.

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

yes Leicester are a good side but we’ve been abysmal. Keep giving them the ball in midfield we’re lucky not to be 4/5 down. They’ve hardly broke a sweat.

 

[A Storm of Blades]

He’s not played all season. He’s come into the side and bullied our front line. Leicester are missing a lot of their first team and we’ve not got anywhere close to them.

Because he’s a good player? He’s played well, no?

 

[BettingBlade]

Premier League winner Wes Morgan...

Why don’t you count how many premier league winners we’ve actually given a game this season?

 

[BettingBlade]

Because he’s a good player? He’s played well, no?

So that means we just shouldn’t give him something to think about then?

 

[Rusty]

One concern, Fleck & Lundstrum really leggy after only 45 mins action.

 

[nickwr37]

Sum's up Fleck tonight. New house on mind and Mrs wanting this and that.....

I love that nobody rates him.....
You don't win a league title with a terrible CB.

Flecks been injured....lacking match fitness maybe?

 

[A Storm of Blades]

Calm down ace.

Probably cause I’m racist

 

[BettingBlade]

Calm down ace.

Calm as owt. Thanks for your patronising tone though.

Mate. Wind it in.

 

[BettingBlade]

Mate. Wind it in.

And still you carry on....

 

[CentralQuay]

Probably cause I’m racist

No CB on the pitch today will come close to repeating what he did.

That was a while ago to be fair. Probably to do with age/lack of playing time/injuries.
