He fully deserves his move, he is absolutely wasted on us, he's been a fantastic servant and should be fondly remembered as one of the best players of a generation for us. Leicester in it's current state do not deserve him.

This is precisely it for me, I don’t think people realise how much of a circus Wednesday is, the owner is in the last year has told the fans they need to make the debt repayments because he isn’t putting a penny in, told them to find a new owner to buy him out, and told the fans to fund their own transfers 🤣 If we go down, we wil still have a far superior squad to Wednesday, if he came now, he would be joining a prem club with a chance of staying up if we can get a bounce and fix the basics. I think Rohl would jump at that chance.

Moyes has turned Beto into Eto'o

Every day that passes that we don't announce Danny Rohl makes me wish Claude Puel would come back and rebuild us

This is a massive concern of mine, we are cannon balling toward relegation, if the board are backing Ruud, we need full agreement that he will manage us in the championship and if he tries to leave in the summer forfeits any compensation, if he's not fully committed to next season, get rid now and bring someone in who might get us fighting.

We've improved in transition, but we just have absolutely zero defensive or offensive awareness, and I'm not sure if it's the system or not. I commented in the match thread, I rewatched Ayews flashed ball across the box, Vardy at all times was jogging into a path where Ayew had no passing option to him, you can see Ayew looking up waiting for Vardy to do something and he just stood there and made it impossible for Ayew to pass to him, then when the ball came across the box Vardy made no effort to put himself in a position to tap it in, something we've seen him do time and time again and I just can't understand why he's not making these decisions at key moments.

The question is, will Danny Rohl stick with Okoli and Faes or will he mix it up a bit?

Road trip anyone? Hillsborough Football Stadium, Leppings Lane, Sheffield, S6 1SW

Vardy is a tough one, he just doesn't seem to be making clinical decisions either. I watched back Ayews last moment where he flashed it across the box. Vardy just stands in a position where it's impossible to pass to him, he either needed to throw himself across the goal, or drop deeper into the box to get a pass, Ayew briefly looked up to vardy to wait to see what he would do before he flashed it across goal, and Vardy was at all times just moving himself into an unpassable position, and when the ball came in he was nowhere near it. I just don't understand why he's not stood in the path of the cross, even at his age it's just basic positionining that we've seen time and time again from him.

Completely agree. I'm trying to look at it from 2 perspectives, the side that wants us to stay up says gamble and bring in big Danny Rohl, the other says we are very likely going down, so is Ruud proving to me he can get us back up, from a performance perspective I think we've had a decent few games results (and everton) aside. But don't get me wrong, i'm still Rohl in.

We need points, but the performance has been fine today overall, from a RVN perspective we are taking steps forward the last few weeks, we just need to be clinical, sadly we don't have the attack or defence.

Faes... Again....

Ayew isn't a superstar, and he's not a flair player but imo he was worth the £5m for his experience and professional side of his game. We could have took a punt on a young exciting player sure, but Ayew has had multiple very solid games for us this season.

Ndidi is so likeable to watch, has his moments of madness but the lad gets stuck in and throws himself about, not afraid to bundle someone over when it's needed. I think he's gone in Summer sadly.

I really like Okoli, man will destroy championship strikers if we hold onto him.

Oh well done, 96th minute 40 yard Partey thunderbolt incoming

We are playing well, we need to make something happen soon or I fear it will bite us. Although we are continuing an upward trend of performances recently bar Everton.

Basically, "get behind us, help us scrape up, and we will then continue to change nothing" Nah, I'm good thanks Top, either sell up or sack the board and take full responsibility for allowing this mess, zero wiggle room on this.

Yep, I can give him full credit for rapidly turning around the doom feeling around the club in the summer when we went down, and the first half of the season whilst visually quite a boring watch for me, produced some good football, but we did spend £40m and had a squad full of players that were quite clearly light years ahead of that level like Vardy, Fatawu, Hermansen, Ndidi, KDH, Winks, Mavididi, Vesty, and Pereira. So he has to take credit for the quick turnaround in feeling, and the immediate success on the pitch, but some of his in game management was questionable, and that run in the 2nd half was some of the most lifeless football i've seen in a long while (until this season) completely devoid of any freedom and just allowing teams 3 working days to organise themselves into a deep block whilst we aimlessly pass it sideway. Our sheer gulf in talent got us over the line in the end when we went far more attacking in the final run of games, but I distinctly remember Enzo on the sideline for one of the games where we were bombing forward and it looked to me like he was screaming them to pass the ball backwards and slow it down. Enzo is better than the level we've seen this season, and I think the players would have been fighting more if he'd stayed, but his job at Chelsea so far has been pretty average, absolutely no doubt Poch could have done the same. Yep, they have so much attacking talent Enzo came out about a month ago to say how hard it was to have 3 top class players who all play the same position and how hard it was to leave any of them out (Palmer, Nkunku and Neto). I did say I had a feeling Enzo would be gone by Christmas so he's proved me wrong on that, but I can't see him getting past the summer if he continues to be so stubborn, this is Chelsea football club, 700+ passes and 0 shots on target. Ultimately I can thank Enzo for getting us up and taking KDH off of our hands to save us from points deductions though.

Shock horror, Enzo learned absolutely nothing from his mistakes here. It's amazing that people still think he is the messiah. Good coach, cheque book manager, still has a long way to go to prove to me he is going to be considered amongst the elite, he spent 250m at a club absolutely brimming with talent, and still wanted more to spend. Hopefully he's still there in the summer to take Mads off of us for an obscene fee should we go down.

Worth noting half the forum wanted Wilf gone when we went down, now they are desperate to keep hold of him, people were happy to let a talent like wilf go for 15m. Okoli has arrived, he's athletic and fine on the ball, he's been making some mistakes but there have been multiple rumours saying he's homesick, he's acclimatising to a completely new league in a country he doesn't know, some humans can do that with ease, some can't. I've seen more than enough from him to know he can absolutely dominate the championship, and having spent 15m on him, that's about the going rate for a top championship player. Keep him, give him a season in the Championship and if it doesn't work, take the hit and move him on, if it does work, that season could give him the confidence to make the step up.

Yep, great point, completely overlooked it.

Ryan Reynolds 'considering £300m takeover' of football club after Wrexham success Unconventional but if he was to buy a club, I'd take him, would make us a bit of a media circus but afaik wrexham fans love them, and they have made a really impressive connection with the fans. Secondly how the hell are the vancouver whitecaps worth that much? That figure must have been plucked out of thin air.

Once again i'm a bit dismayed by Ruuds in game changes, but, with that said after 7 losses in a row, to have a 3 game spell where we were the better side in 2 of them is a clear change in trajectory. I think Arsenal will bring us back down to earth with a massive crash next up, but ultimately if Ruud is still here and we haven't Röhlled the dice yet, we can only look at the trajectory. We played well all things considered and with the problems we have in both attack and defence and our play on the ball was much improved on the Everton performance. I still really want to back Ruud and see what it would look like if we can get rid of the dead wood and bring in some young, hungry, cheaper players whilst offloading big earners like Ward. But still a long way to go for Ruud to prove he's the one who can do it for me.

If we go down he fully deserves a move away. Hell if we stay up I’d give him my blessings to move on for the sake of his career. He’s absolutely miles clear of us.
