It could be worse. Leicester fans haven’t scored at home since early December. Luton’s long wait for a home goal finally ended on Wednesday night. But in truth it was another disappointing display in what everyone had billed as a must win match.
The new striker Nordas got a start, and looked good. If not very match sharp. If he’d been playing regularly, he’d have buried a couple of chances. There was no captain Morris, he was ill. Armband transferred to Kal Naismith, and he looked as though he had never been away.
But it is a disjointed Luton team lacking any rhythm, too often resorting to the ball in the air. Liam Walsh is getting eulogised in some quarters, and when he went off Luton lost any coherency. Baptiste came on, immediately went down, put a good cross in, then went down again. Somehow he struggled on until full time, will we see him at Watford?
Inevitably looms.
One year ago this week we were at Anfield leading Liverpool for over 50 minutes. More or less since then it has been a steep dive downhill and so far the slide shows no sign of stopping.
