Crabbycanary3 994 Posted August 23, 2021 They have some very good players but they are just not functioning tonight against a West Ham side that are coming up with an effective game plan. If DF just happens to be watching (;) ) there is nothing that West Ham are doing would seem out of reach of our squad. There, I've said it 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

overthebordercanary 140 Posted August 23, 2021 They will just replace Perez with Iheanacho or Daka, who alongside Vardy have serious pace, and in the opening 2 games have proven we still can't deal with anyone whose quick on transitioning from defence to attack as none of our midfield or defence can actually tackle !!

king canary 7,578 Posted August 23, 2021 What West Ham have done so well in this game is press, harry and refuse to let Leicester (and particularly Tielermans) settle on the ball. Is this something we're capable of? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crabbycanary3 994 Posted August 23, 2021 I know they are down to 10 men, but they've just had only their 1st shot of the game on target, (no corners), after 70 odd minutes of the game, and it's against West Ham...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex 26 Posted August 23, 2021 It was a very well worked goal for West Hams goal but I imagine Leicester may have been in this game if it wasn't for the Pérez sending off. They are a very good outfit with some excellent players in their side, they have finished 5th in the passed two seasons for a reason. Can we get something from the game? Yes, do I expect to get anything form the game? No. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hank shoots Skyler 2,094 Posted August 23, 2021 Team is in bad form coming into a game against Norwich. Before the game: ‘Could be a good time to play them on Saturday’ After the game: ’Oh well guess they were always going to react after their recent poor form’ Let’s beat this cycle please!

Probably be the worst thing for us that Leicester got hammered tonight. Probably would have been better if they had won and then come to Carrow Road complacent. They will need to do something after this and they have the right manager in my opinion. They will probably be well up for it now.

Particularly against the top sides. If we beat Leicester on Saturday then all their fans will have to say about is their team being ****, not that Norwich City were due a reaction.

Midlands Yellow 3,924 Posted August 23, 2021 Leicester fans not confident (well some of them) Can't see a win. We are absolutely toothless going forward. If we keep playing Vards up top on his own then I don't know where out goals will come from. Expect Norwich to take the **** out of us, we have no defence and no width.

First Skipp would have turned a 5-0 defeat to Man City into a victory and now he’s single-handedly responsible for promotion last season?
