LIVE: Leicester vs Middlesborough

Afternoon all. Another big game today - after the disappointing performance against a very good Leeds team we have an in-form Middlesbrough team away from home. Will be difficult but the performance is arguably even more important than the result - we need to get back to full speed and I’m looking for a reaction to last week

Pep never changed formation when it doesn’t work either. It’s just it normally does.

I know we’ve not been creating chances for weeks 99, and it’s becoming a real problem now. We need some way to subtly change things when it’s not working.

Always just like for like subs, no change in formation or style. He isn't solving problems

completely agree. Far too much praise lavished on him from the moment he was announced because he came from City. Mugs like Foxello wetting themselves the moment he walked through the door before he’d seen a game. We’ve been coasting against poor opposition for weeks - anyone who says this is a wobble needs to give their head a wobble. It’s a pattern

Agree with your post earlier 99
And def missing Nadidi
Also teams have worked us out,,

Defence is suspect
Midfield weak link
Forwards none

System Only works if played at speed,,,,

Not convinced,,, need some January signings

Pep has world class players. Vincent Kompany is showing why this style will get you annihilated once you play decent opposition

We’ve now lost as many as Leeds who are chasing us down and Ipswich after the break will possibly move ahead. Play offs at this rate I’m afraid. Once you get past the romance of the city connection - it becomes clear that this bloke is just another pretender

Needed a reaction- got more of the same from the most one dimensional manager we’ve had since Puel

Even when we were winning every week I was never convinced. In the end your performances always catch up with you. I’ve no doubt we’ll go up, because I could take this team up - but when we do, we’ll get torn apart under this guy

I’m hoping we can overcome this wobble but I share your concerns 99. Not sure our front line is strong enough to win using these tactics when a team sets up narrow and deep.

Rubbish result.

Yeah. You’ve got to be able to change it up at this level and I can now see a pattern really. I think we’ll beat Watford and go on another little run but the moment we come up against decent opposition that nullifies Enzos one dimensional Puel ball we’ll come unstuck again. He’ll be gone by this time next year - guaranteed

Now we will see what the manager is made of,he needs to get us through this rocky patch.
