Calwert lewin is not a premier league standard player.

I was saying much the same here WalkenFrandel

Overrated tosh

Called him out as a chump from day dot, unfortunately we were ignored

We lost it with that free kick. Why was Baines taking it? It wasn't being taken from a shooting distance, so all of our (very slow) defenders were in the Leicester penalty area leaving us wide open for their counter attack, food and drink for Mahrez/Vardy. Surely it should have been Rooney's job to take the kick and for the defenders to be in a position to, I don't know, defend on the off chance that they might break away? But what do I know.
Sorry Unsy, much as I would have liked to have seen you succeed, we need a good manager and quick.

Set pieces in general were woeful today. How many corners did we have today? Baines just floated it to the near post every single time. We had quite a few free kicks in similar positions to the one we conceded from as well. To say the team is disorganised is a massive understatement.

Oh well,at least me panicking thinking we will let a lead slip has gone,as we hardly lead in a game anymore lol,defo this season

Our squad isn't premier league standard

 

[faddy the blue]

90% of the time we do not start the game well. That has been our case for a long time. That has nothing to do with the manager. Its about players taking to the opposition and trying to express themselves.

Even if we get Bolasie, Coleman and Mori back they won't suddenly light the place up coming back from a confident team they left back into a struggling and scared team with fans willing to abuse you at the 1st chance they get.

 

[DaltonEFC]

Thought Rhino made a decent fist of PL management today. I would like to see him retain the job. We're gonna need a passionate Blue to inspire the lads!

Are you being sarcastic?

 

[Sarnia Kevin]

Possibly the worst passing stats I've ever seen

Very pretty, but whose passing stats?

 

[Goat]

16 shots, 2 on target.

 

[a bell maul]

Winning any game before a two week break for international games is good for morale.
The one coming up for us next Sunday is simply a must win game. It is in my opinion going to be a season defining moment for a great many reasons.
Forget about Lyon. Concentrate getting three points in our own league, not some afterthought of a booby prize competition.

If we are to get CL this season, I think it looks very unlikely we'll attain it via finishing top 4. I appreciate we're traditionally strong finishers, but the likes of the 2 Manc clubs and Chelsea are going to be hard to reel in.
Winning Europa represents our best chance of playing the likes of Barcelona and Real next season. I would concentrate a lot of energy and resource toward winning EL.
Vital we put away Lyon...as we should do imo.

I said it before the game and I'll say it again: I don't know what he brings to the team. I don't know what his strengths are. He tries hard but we need more than that.

 

[Zeke]

Calwert lewin is not a premier league standard player.

At the minute none of them are!

 

[Bakayoko Ono]

Very pretty, but whose passing stats?

Leicesters. Kept giving the ball away and we still couldn't threaten.
