He won't end the season as our HC
 
The talk of sackings etc is gold standard melting granted. But…

All of our top 8 rivals would’ve buried a very poor and under strength Leicester tonight. That’s the worry.

I don’t have the inclination to single out individuals after one game. However, the mental fragility was there for all to see. It never changes! For all of the managers big talk about winning things and character, the way they fell to pieces in the 2nd half was as telling as it was embarrassing
Sheffield took a point off Chelsea and Villa last season, it does happen. The real worry I think is it happening on the first day of the season, that definitely builds added pressure and with the tail end of last season still in everyone's minds it does Ange no favours. We are lucky we have a very winnable home game against Everton next, but we really need to show a ruthlessness that's been missing since the first half of last season. We really need to have the confidence flowing going into the Newcastle and Woolwich games, if we drop points vs Everton it's gonna be a long fucking season.
 
They might do but probably in different circumstances. We shit the bed and should’ve had the 3pts wrapped up by HT.

Woolwich, City and Liverpool would’ve battered this Leicester team and yet, Ange talks about wanting to win things etc.

2pts thrown away. The first points of many I fear this season if they don’t toughen up and also engage their brains


You honestly think none of our rivals will drop points after not converting chances?
 
Anyone crying about Vicario rightfully calling out Bergvall is indirectly conceding he's not mature enough to play. None of you would have shit to say if it was Vicario yelling at Romero.. nor would he have any teeth left, but that's besides the point.
 
Werner shoehorned in at RW so an ineffective Son can stay on the pitch.

Subs not even told to warm up until 65’, can’t get on til 71-72’.

No guts to make a change until too late.

No sign of offensive patterns except for whatever Maddison could create.


I really hope this was just a fluke from Ange. What is this- 4 pts from our last 6 matches?
Forgot last season. This is 1 point from one match. Although, I agree with most of your other points.

You know what I’m saying.

Of course rivals will drop points. I’m not sure many will drop them after creating and not converting as many chances as we did tonight against such poor opposition.

I’m disappointed in the lack of ruthlessness (which you need to win things) and the way in which we surrendered our dominance and completely fell apart for 10-15 mins.

Worrying. And a carry over from last season
 
This isn’t me making excuses or anything before someone jumps on me, it’s just an observation.

But does it feel like there’s certain grounds that just seem insurmountable to this team? Stamford Bridge, St James’ Park, The King Power, the Emirates…

It’s like mentally we can’t get over a block that we have associated with any of those grounds

Converting chances are THE difference between winning and losing when you play front foot, attacking football. It’s not exactly a surprise the issue has carried over because this system will always need us to take chances for us to succeed

I only feel that way about Stamford Bridge and Anfield tbh, Chelsea and Liverpool could somehow be stripped of all players over the age of 16 and lose every other game that season but you know they would both have 3 points in the column vs us at home lol.
