Very surprised that ESR has been selected
Happy enough with that, come on lads, let's win three valuable points.
No screwing around today, let's focus and see this through. COYW!
let's hope that more than 25% of our shots are on target.
Let's hope we can do something different in the final third other than just cross and hope for the best

+100
Score early & often!!! COYW ::scarf::
Leno!
I can't stand the phrase, "asking questions" in football.
Thrill the crowds with action in the Fulham goal area.....
Wow, as a few of us have said, they've definitely got this pencilled in as a winnable game.
All over us the first few minutes
phew - don't want to concede first minute!
Who the hell is this 2nd commentator
Not a great start by any means
iwobi inaccurate in the final 3rd, but at least trying to make some penetrating passes. hopefully they will get closer to the target.
We could do with slowing this down, it's frantic

Pass to the right there a better option.
We need to survive this early pressure, settle down and get a firm grip.
Reminder, football is a physical game...

His first name appears to be Mark and I think he has had some connection to LFC
ESR probably touched the ball more in the first 14 minutes than in his last couple of matches combined.
Like the way that him and Iwobi are interchanging early
Dare I say that we're back in the game.

10 years and 236 appearances for Leicester
Everything down the left... :guitar-playHDs:
Hes talking like rick and morty
This match has an awfully familiar ring to it
A draw or a loss today will be completely unacceptable. We need to do better.

Feels like nothing is coming off for him at the moment
Steve Sidwell's on our game for Soccer Saturday, if you want something a bit more pro-Fulham.
Same old issue with the defence there, not stepping up and closing down the man. Looked like Berge
We seem to be getting a foothold.
Shots 4; on target 0
Not good when Vardy out muscles Bassey
Commentators talking about a leaky Leicester defence....doesn't seem to notice at the moment with our efforts
looking better, 'shows intent' 'asking questions'
Feels like they've been told to not do the obvious and that slows the play down a bit but make us more unpredictable. I like the look of it!
Much better. Keep it up!
getting closer
ESR looks a lot better today
Seen this movie before.
We create a whole load of low xG chances.
Leicester score against the run of play in the 2nd half.
Hold firm to keep their 2nd clean sheet of the season

Didnt stay up late for that outcome
Continue to dominate possession with little end product
Underwhelming considering our aspirations and Leicester's position.

What can I say, I'm a masochist.
Pretty poor half of football there. Not really looked like scoring aside from the traditional Iwobi cross-cum-shot
Quote from: KentFulham on January 18, 2025, 03:48:40 PMContinue to dominate possession with little end product
That's what I call "Blackhole Offense"...
I like the players we have out but we are playing them in the wrong position. Iwboi is much better on the right, Wilson needs to be central and I still don't think ESR is strong enough (yet) to play centrally so I would play him on the left which is actually where he played the majority of his games for Arsenal
Okay half, but we need to be even better. Leicester seems like a poor team, but they are definitely well up for it today.
No changes for me at half time, we should just try and play a bit faster. Adama, Muniz,Andreas and TC to come on at some point in the second half.
Shots 9; on target 0. Predicting 2nd half could be shots 8; on target 4. win 2-0.

We need a creative playmaker in the middle of the pitch.
I'm not sure how Wilson escapes so much criticism on here compared to some players, he's anonymous when he starts games and we always go down the left because we just offer no threat on the right wing since Iwobi has been playing on the left. Can't wait for Nelson to be fit again so we can attack down both wings
Not good enough.
Too slow & no ambition.
Really poor & disappointing.
As said by others, I've seen this performance before. Too often recently.

You would think £35m ESR would be that but he is a bit of a bore
We are way way way to unbalanced, not for the first time we are loading EVERY attack down the left, it's way to predictable. ESR has had a decent game but he's literally never popped up on the right which seems to be better and instruction from Marco. Wilson drifts central and because Robinson is up high castagne therefore never pushes up the right to support and so it's all very obvious in the end.
Iwobi having a poor game so far but showing willing. Not playing awfully , controlling things but at walking pace.
Game for Adama to bring something different on the right I feel, we need threat out there to create more space across the attack

Why do you have such a hard on for slagging off ESR? Every week ya can't wait to pile on, he's played better today and been involved in some nice build up, certainly no worse than Iwobi today. You and all these "new marlet" comments after half a season and playing back from fitness issue are the bore here
And again....27m + add-ons he only hits on player and performance based add-ons ,stop misrepresenting it every week

Agreed. It's like they run out of ideas in the final third.
....and one less pass before the shot when we get into their area.

Our idea is basically just to cross it and hope for the best.
We lack a LOT of inspiration there
Now if we could sign a 500k pound a week Striker... :slap:
Adama on..
ESR who?
ESR!!!!!!
Yeeeees

He's so boring
Well done arry
yes
That £27m ESR is a bit of a bore isn't he!
Booyah!!
Yes!
But we do need to find better balance it was the left hand side yet again.
I hope he bore's me with 2 more...
Quote from: Twig on January 18, 2025, 04:07:51 PMThat £27m ESR is a bit of a bore isn't he!
Absolutely yawning
ESR needed that for his confidence. Keep it up!
That's normally our slot to concede...
Get in there, ESR.
If that is not a penalty, it is certainly simulation - worth a yellow card
Quote from: First State on January 18, 2025, 04:09:23 PMESR needed that for his confidence. Keep it up!
Looks like the lads were telling him the same.
PLEASE let's put this game to bed
We must build on it and to not invite to attack us by dropping too deep.
Let's get #2. Come on, let's have one of our 'fans' slag off another of our players. It's working well!

And Raul is too old
Raul is the new Kuqi!
anyone else having issues with the forum? updates are slow and sometimes timeout
We really need to settle down and get the second
Listening to GJ gives the impression that Leicester are well in the game. Anyone watching who can give an alternative view?

Adama!

They are. We need a second
I never liked Adama...
YYEESSS~!!! Adama!
Yeeeeees
Adama rare great finish
yes yes
Tidy finish by Adama.
Harry instrumental in both of our goals.
Come on lads, smell blood. BURY THEM!
No end product , useless!!!
The hate train getting derailed tonight boys!!!
WHAT A FINISH!!
Get innn!!!!
A much needed second goal. Phew!
That Adama cannot finish ................ Oops.
No problem there...the closer he is the worse his shots are!! Shoot on sight AT!!
Told you he was too skinny...
Nothing stupid, let's hold on to the lead.
Holding on doesn't work. Get a third!!
Unlucky ESR, great header to put Harry through. Great game so far from Andersen too by the way. Love to see it.

Albrighton the commentator is set to conduct an on-air requiem mass for Leicester now...
As long as we keep our foot firmly on Leicester City's neck.
We must not give them hope where there is any.
At the moment we are doing just that.
nice passage - great pass to lucic from traore, amazing cross
Sidwell cannot believe Muniz missed that.

Yeh he's played well since coming on but shoulda finished there albeit with his left leg

Par for course. Many such cases.
Agree he's been so assured again today
Well done boys, I'll have a double.
unsure that should have been a free kick, let alone a yellow card
Should've signed Berge before he signed for Burnley was crazy to write him off after a couple matches looks to have a great mentality.
nice to get a clean sheet and the win
If only it were this simple every week. Well done lads! ::scarf::
2-0 yes
Well done but two concerns;
Everything goes down our left, need better balance.
17 shots but only 2 on target.
I'll take it.
Easy one to predict.

Missing Nelson for me, him on the left and Iwobi on the right gave us better balance down both sides
Welcome back Sander!!!
These are the games we should be winning. Well done, boys!
