I think most on here don’t know what the average championship keeper is like.

He's only started 8 games there

He’d have 4 goals if he was still here. It’d be tragic watching him isolated in a shit championship team playing for a dogmatic, slow build up manager. He left at the right time.

No goals and an assist. They've only scored 20 in 19 games though and he's more of a deep lying playmaker anyway.

Our long term CM options are Skipp, Choudhury and Page. Integrate him now, even if he only turns out to be depth that's a hell of a lot better than using our limited budget on packing out the squad in the summer. He's better than that anyway, I think James will enjoy playing with him as he's more progressive with his passing and carrying than the others. Mavididi ST Fatawu Braybrooke James Skipp/Choudhury Aluko/LT Nelson Souttar Pereira/Aluko JS Is the best we cobble together with a mind on trying to get into the play offs and having a long term outlook.

It happens every time we're leading - the players won't want to put themselves under that pressure. The players don't make the braindead subs

Neither will be here at the end of the season thankfully

Cifuentes can’t actually coach anything well. Considering how tepid we are in possession, you might that would translate into seeing the game out with the ball but no it doesn’t. It’s not even backs-to-the-wall, compact and disciplined to see the game out we fall into disarray. Yet he keeps doing it!

I didn’t catch the whole game but from what I saw he was very good again. Comes out on top so often

We have to go 3-0 up to win a game and we’ve done that once all season. **** him off. Actually bring on Russel Martin and the deduction because that will wake theremaining m ongs the **** up about our trajectory

We have a shit manager with a flawed squad put together by incompetents - somebody shouting on the pitch solves none of that. No good side is any good because they have leaders.

We probably wouldn’t have dropped until last season or this if we’d just played him over Ward

Twice we’ve been given a penalty only to throw away the lead. Cowardice. Get him out - this isn’t a bad bunch of players

Ayew is a c unt

.

He’s mostly a good keeper but he’s too prone to dropping a 4/10 performance. He needs a near faultless rest of the season otherwise we should be looking at a replacement

It’s amazing managers can see the same thing play out again and again then never change their approach. He’s as bad as Cooper for cowardice

The ‘interim’ period for the MD will end up being almost a permanent term I bet

I’ve said it before but it’s pretty cool there is a De Lisle playing for us - influential family in Leics since the 17th century

Didn’t realise Manini had deactivated - shame, good poster

Like Fifa when somebody has messed with the sliders

The fact he's on loan in L2 is not an indictment on his ability, it's more we gave him a stupid loan in Scotland and he's had an awful injury. The same people were probably saying Barnes and KDH wouldn't make it when they had their loans too. We have 2 contracted senior CMs going into next season, we have no choice but to try and use AT LEAST one of Braybrooke, Page and Cartwright

I get the impression it feels much more ‘lived in’ than swathes of London. That being in Paris is incidental to great gastronomy and drink. Really ought to go as I went on a completely shit school trip about 12 years ago it has probably unfairly tainted my view.

Because they've been far smarter and their owner/executives actually give a shit. We deserve all the shit thrown at us out of stupidity. We've had PSR/FFP issues following us around for years and only thought to fight it legally (expensively too). We had a PSR swap foisted upon us by Chelsea and never thought to do it ourselves - really dumb. Newcastle, Forest and Villa all did it to make more headroom and were happy to engage in these swaps so the options were out there. We break the rules in the most stupid and supine ways, like not submitting our accounts on time, like thinking we'd been in Europe twice so we always would be (???), like spending almost £50m on Skipp, Ayew and Okoli...

Up to now he’s never really looked fit. All of a sudden he’s flying around the pitch putting in crunching tackles - long may it continue. Being a model pro just goes a long way, sometimes the rest follows.
