And given the goals that have stood against us when players have clearly been offside and interfering with play this season, it would have been an absolute travesty.

I'm sure they are but interestingly on Football Focus this morning they showed the list of team with the worst injuries and I think we were 4th. So it's not just us.
Adingra always seems to cut in onto his left foot. Does he ever go past a man on the outside?

VAR seems to ask if there is any way the goal can be disallowed?
Oh no now Lamptey down.

.........but all goals are checked. It just took a bit longer because there was something to look at
Why the drama with the pause and POSSIBLE OFFSIDE graphic when it was so obviously fine?
Why ruin our celebrations like that?
It's not just injury numbers. It's who is injured.
Perlease - can't you report it more accurately than that?!
It's "VAR fails to find a reason to disallow the goal", FFS.

I think Veltman has put more crosses in the box tonight than we’ve seen him do all season. And they’ve been half decent. Nice.

I think last season we benefited from being unknown (under De Zerbi) and underestimated. Teams aren't making that mistake anymore.Was just chatting to my brother about this… to be honest it’s less about wheels falling off… as clearly the squad, coaches are together etc. but tactically (at times) we’re being found out … but a large slice of that is down to rhythm, partnerships etc. all being undermined by injuries and a selection/rotation policy that has utterly failed to a.) prevent injuries and b.) to keep us competitive in two comps.
A large part of this is luck, but frankly we lack balance (at times) and we’re all over the shop as a result.
Is this just one of those seasons? An indication of things starting to unravel? I don’t know really, but it’s all a bit meh right now and the spark️ has gone out.
Where I sit, we have a choice - get behind Roberto… or fail to do and hope our next manager is even better… which is rather forlorn - because if they are, they’d be gone in a season to a ‘big’ club.
I do think we could be more pragmatic on occasion and grind things out, but that’s simply not Roberto.
I guess from the outside we might look a bit like we believe our own hype, and that often leads to a kind of almost indistinguishable lethargy, which at this level will get you punished.
lol - and it’s 1-1… I still think most of the above stands though BUT I’m all for giving Roberto time to genuinely prove his quality.
I kinda feel like Leicester experienced the same when they won the league and then were shit the next.
