Howay

Is it just me or does Diame seem to hoy his hand up like he's trying to catch the ball every time it's lumped his way?

Erm I'd love to hear how on Earth that wasn't a foul on Atsu.

It's always good to have the pundits talk sense and be on your side when it's clear like that, the thing is though I'm fucking sick to the back teeth of watching absolutely ridiculous fucking decisions being given against us. I'd say it's simply down to the shit standard of ref but the issue with that is we've had next to no dodgy decisions go in favor of us (an offside goal is about all I remember) yet regularly dominate possession and hold the ball in dangerous areas, so statistically surely we'd get a fair few given our way with how regularly they're given against us.

Thought the first half was fairly balanced, they dominated the opening and then we controlled the end of the half. The typical characters are ruining any good move that comes their way as usual. The referee has yet again completely fucked us over in this shit fucking league. Shame for Atsu with that chance, it's the sort of one you'd prefer to fall to Ritchie who would have probably placed it into the top corner but maybe I'm being harsh on Atsu, Atsu did have a good half mind despite his often dreadful first touch.

Honestly man the bloke doesn't know how to kick a ball. It's like watching a bairn play when he goes to take a cross, he literally stares at the ball, takes a little hop to make sure he arrives on his correct foot and then it's always just spooned anyway and becomes a shit lob or dribbles along the deck. Talentless man, exactly the sort of player that will play for NUFC for 10 year when better players come in have a rough start and are shipped out.

I have absolutely no idea how anyone that works in football could watch Dummett and Colback every game and think they didn't need replaced. How the fuck is Lazaar possibly worse than Dummett?

Darlow keeping us in it here like, the players need to get off the bus.

It looked like everyone assumed it was a foul on Darlow.

Darlow having a good game today mind

Knockaert is a right little prick

Tell you what mind Shelvey is a complete fucking knacker. The replay of him having a bit of a dig at Knockaert ffs, we desperately need to buy someone that can create so we don't just rely on a bloke that takes less winding up than Bellamy.

What on Earth is a pen given for there? They were both at it there like

Another good save from wor Karl

Good save by Karl there like, Sels should take note of how he punched it away from onrushing players

Gouff up top and we've lumped it up top 3 times already, do the players know he's up front .

:lol:

I stand corrected then, I guess the bouncing trend has spread.

"Caaaaaaaam owwwwwnnn then yaaa faaaaccckin slaaaaaaayg" as he's bouncing his way to the taxi rank. I've never understood when people go in like that if they've no intention of physical confrontation, the "hold me back, hold me back" types that were in that video were hilarious tbh (those two women each took it in turn to be the one being held back and the one doing the holding). I fucking hate fighting and avoid it like the plague but I also don't fucking bop about getting into peoples faces as if I'm going to do something, so those that do have always looks like twats to me. I also enjoyed how they were all fucking silent when the policeman got on .

What a shambles I like the bloke bouncing about at the end, is that just a London thing? I've never really seen lads that are starting a fight do it up North, Danny Dyer esque tbh.

It's canny funny the Leicester players all coming out with "we wanted to prove a point to our critics" type of stuff, if anything they've sort of made the point for the critics who said they weren't performing for Ranieri. I'm also glad Liverpool are all over the shop, hopefully they keep pressuring Klopp and force him out as he could be (and hopefully will be) the last good thing to happen to them for a long time, horrible fucking club.

Agreed, I was really disappointed to hear booing at the half. I think a more experienced side could shrug it off and get on with the task but we've got a young group and there's clearly some mental fragility among them confidence wise. The old "I've paid my money so can have my say" argument while valid doesn't really help anything, we all want the side up and they're managing that so far but the weaker home form compared to the away form says something about the support at the moment. I think a lot of people attending are expecting us to win every match 3-0 and when they see us struggling quickly get frustrated, like you and others have said this type of short term thinking is prevalent all over in football now. I can moan like a dickhead on here about Colback but if I was at the match I wouldn't be getting on his back as honestly it doesn't help anything.

Aye I've only seen one replay of the error at the weekend. I think he has been getting really nervous about the backline in recent weeks which has led to him coming off his line very quickly and into areas he should very rarely be in. I'm still going to put a lot of the blame on Dummett shout or not as he shouldn't be reaching like that for the ball, if he'd just let it go it was going to go out of play. I agree with DK that if Darlow carries on making errors his position needs to be reconsidered but I'm seeing a lot of people getting on the lads back for a small amount of mistakes when we have people in the side that have made clangers in nearly every game they play.

That's a big assumption though and it's fairly harsh to criticize him on such. Like a better goalkeeper may have stopped some of Gayle's less well struck efforts, which would have meant we may not have won certain games but I wouldn't look back and say "aye he scored but it was poorly struck, a better goalkeeper would have saved that and it would have punished us he really should do better".

I don't think it's fair to include that one as he pulled off a pretty incredible save after it while in the process of being completely wiped out by Clark. So while it was an error he also saved the situation, not only by putting his hand in the way stopping the player rushing onto the ball from running off with it but then saving the follow up shot.
