  1. I thought he defended pretty well (although let’s be fair, Salah should’ve had a couple, including inside two minutes) but offered next to nothing going forward. I suspect it’ll be a battle between him and Kristiansen again for the spot next season as we will have bigger priorities.
  2. I do understand the stick he receives for the mostly PR waffle he comes out with, but at least he's willing to put his head above the parapet to be shot at. A quick look at the players' socials suggests that only Hermansen so far has actually said anything?
  3. I really wasn't planning to but I've been going with my dad since 2009 and he wanted to continue, and I didn't want to regret not going. So I have renewed but without much enthusiasm. I will however give up pretty much all away games apart from a select few. I don't think it'll happen but I'm praying for a complete overhaul of the footballing operation now.
  4. I hate to be that guy but I donated for the "Premier ambitions, amateur decisions" message, which is also on the GoFundMe page. I am on the fence with wanting King Power Out as in a perfect world I want to see the entire football operation restructured and modernised with King Power and Top still at the helm. There is a significant sentimental connection there given what the club has gone through over the past decade. If the message was "King Power Out" I'm not sure I would've donated.

    I'm interested in people's thoughts on whether he was always going to be this bad when we signed him? He was prolific (Austria yes I know) and showed he could finish in the Europa League, but just looked raw as anything with his touch and physicality. At a better run club could he have turned into a decent PL player?
  6. I’m all for protests, we all know how shambolic the club is run. But what exactly is it calling for? Rudkin to go? King Power to sell up? Top to restructure the entire footballing operation? If there are banners, what do they say? Are there chants planned? Sorry if these questions have been answered previously.
  7. It doesn’t help that he is having to do Vardy’s pressing for him.
  8. Reality is none of our centre back options are particularly good. I personally prefer Faes and Okoli as a pair as they are more mobile and I think should improve over time, but they will make errors. Despite being 6ft 6 or whatever Vestergaard is not good in the air and he is far too slow in my opinion to play anything other than a low block.
  9. He’s a jack of all trades, master of none. Not great defensively, offensively or creatively. The Andy King comparisons are apt. He’s too similar to Winks to play together, surely the money was better spent complementing what we have.
  10. Why have we signed this guy? And for how much?
  11. Can somebody please explain why he persisted with Ndidi on the left and KDH on the right for about 60 minutes?? It's not worked in other games, it didn't work today and it makes our attack completely dysfunctional.
  12. I thought he was struggling defensively yesterday and with the wind we couldn’t make use of his ability on the ball as much, hence the change.
  13. I don't want King Power out - what we need is for them to implement a proper footballing structure at board level, people with experience who know how a top level club operates. If they're unwilling or incapable of doing this then get rid.
  14. It's been said elsewhere but losing Ricardo has been such a massive blow. We have no one who can play that inverted right back role and it's probably the most integral to the formation. Without him, Winks is forced to be playmaker on his own, while Hamza doesn't know whether he's coming or going in that position. I am hopeful that with Ricardo and Ndidi back after the international break, performances will pick up. It's also worth noting that while we have blown a sizeable lead at the top, in any other normal season we'd still be most likely be several points clear of third, if not second too.
  15. We’re not playing with any authority like we have done at our best. We miss Vestergaard but not having Ricardo is a huge blow. Hamza is so incredibly passive on the ball and so we’re not able to play through the lines at all.
