My expectations at the beginning of the season looking at the fixtures was 10 points from 10 games. Based on this next game against Wolves is a free hit but obviously would love a win. Today's game sounded like a stinker but at the end of the day we were away and the point is better for us Sounds like another game when Wilf is off his game we have very little to fill the void. One point gained on the Weed. Anyway onward n upward. COYP !! Edited by Booted Eagle (15 Oct 2022 9.47pm)

Wilf can be a match winner and is our top goal scorer, think that answers it. 4 goals and 1 assist not a great record and dont forget half those was pen or rebound from his missed pens removed rose tinted specs. This guy claims to be a star too big for this club yet is not showing it (he is way off champions league quality) Originally posted by steeleye20
Zaha shouldn't have been taken off, if anyone is going to break the deadlock in the last 7/8 minutes, it's Wilf. You clearly did not watch the game.

Have to disagree. CD looks our best midfielder by far, he is doing the job of 2. Give him some decent support and you will have one hell of a player on our books Totally agree! CD is class, but lacks support. An upgrade is needed on Schlupp (OK for coming on in the last 15 min. chasing a goal). Ward and Ayew need to be downgraded to the bench as well. Our central defenders and goalie made sure we got away with an undeserved/lucky point in a game far from Premier League level.

I doubt any other manager would tolerate the amount of ball watching by the front 4, and recognise the instant need for a genuine partner for Doucoure.

Just an aside, having now seen the match on tv, that was a total cheating dive by the scumbag Maddison. Rightly booked and glad he misses their next game against Leeds. This diving/blatant cheating looking for a pen when not touched or hanging a leg out to initiate the contact is one of the worst aspects of the current game. The ref did well to spot it, especially considering he’d been poor and had given Leicester everything prior to that.

A positive from the game was still picking up a point away from home, when playing utter s***e.

For those who believe in "free" roles for the likes of Eze, Olise, and Zaha, go to the "highlights" and watch the ease with which Leicester moved through the centre of the park in those moments that created good chances for them. Truly an embarrassment, which I put down to Vieira's 4-3-3 system and the players he has selected to implement it.
