Title: Stupid back heels and fancy flicks
Post by: Worcesterwhite on February 03, 2021, 07:58:47 PM
Anyone else frustrated at us attempting these when in good areas, every time giving the ball away, must have been 5 or 6 times tonight

Dunno why they kept trying them, they couldn't hit a normal side footed pass most of the time. Just wasteful.

Yes there were a few of them and when you are losing they are most irritating. No Leicester defender was fooled by them.

We obviously do not train attacking routines much. We were clueless in the final third.

Second half showed one thing though, how annoyingly negative we have been most games. We needed the three man attack (ideally without the useless Cav) against West Brom, Brighton and the other teams around us. Against Leicester we are nowhere near the level.

Anguissa must be injured he was terrible, Cav total crap, RLC fell over all the time as usual, Aina gave it away, Mitro got no service worth talking of. Such a pathetic performance. Parker I despair.

Backheels and flicks are the last resort of a player who knows he has neither the skill or the pace to beat his man. Check who made most of them.

It was terrible. The backheels and flicks came out of no where. We literally tried to walk it in constantly. No idea who these players think they are to be okay with this. So much unnecessary attempts to link up versus shooting on the spot. Even shots off target can have a chance a deflection, etc. Need to get a grip.

So so frustrating. Do we think we are Brazil?

Always look forward to our matches, get excited, hopeful etc. Tonight was just disappointing to the extreme. Absolutely no urgency when all the players and coaches know how important it is to pick up points. I am beginning to worry about our lack of quality up front but when you think of how West Brom came at us in the 2nd half at the weekend, we couldn't even manage to put Leicester under any pressure at all.

Craig Revell-Horwood was delirious about them;

"Absolutely loved the flicks and kicks darling boy.....

Verbatim txt to my son during the game
"Too many optimistic back heels and flicks not coming off - why bother? Pass to a white shirt!"

Guess you can count me as a +1
