Dr_Pangloss Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Leicester are really paying for not being ruthless in the window. Fuches, Morgan and Huth are all extremely average players (at best) and have well and truly regressed to the mean and are that bit older now. They should have signed at least one quality centre half and a new left back in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 I called it, I said Leicester would be extremely poor this year. They look terrible. If performances like this continue I wonder what they will do about raneri? They can't really sack him after we he achieved last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phumfeinz Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Moyes looking at the sack soon surely. So glad he turned us down in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Sunderland were **** anyway, their squad was so much weaker than any other, I couldn't have seen them getting significantly better results with anyone else in, maybe another point or so, but they are very shit. This year's us basically. 16 points is a serious target for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Have to sat that Steklenburg performance yesterday was one of the best I've ever seen from a keeper. He's not even a keeper I rate particularly highly...if you did a list ranking the 20 prem keepers he'd be near the bottom o mine, didn't think he was great at Fulham or Southampton. Still yesterday not just the two penalty saves but also two shots from De Bruyne he really had no right to save, proper fingertip stuff. So many times people go bad about goalkeeping displays if they save 5-6 shots which were pretty much straight at the but that was a goalkeeping masterclass.

sonic_bouma Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Just watching hudd v wed Both teams so much more physical, energetic and cohesive. No passengers, no player is a luxury. Its like watching actual men play football rather than boys. Jesus Bruce has so much work to do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Was half watching Watford-Boro while having my lunch in the pub earlier. One of the worst non-villa games I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
