Said it in the Winks thread but Page's treatment/game time has been one of the worst failings of the club this season. He didn't look physically up to it when he started the season so I think it was fair that he wasn't really involved. But after he went away with the England U17's (I think) and came back in to the side, he looked a completely different beast. Was so calm in possession and was now able to handle himself whilst putting himself about. So should have been a shoe in for the starting XI, let alone the matchday squad and what happens, he's immediately dropped for Harry Winks who doesn't want to be here and frankly, is inferior to Page is every aspect of the game (at least at the moment). Yet again sends out a crap message to the younger players at this club.

Same here. Said this often but when QPR beat us at the KP last time we were in the championship, it's one of the few times when I've been super impressed with an opposition manager because it was clearly the instructions of his that made the difference. As we've seen under multiple managers, these players can't follow the manager's instructions. Problem with Marti is that like other recent manager's, he had a lot of mitigating circumstances that would give him more slack from the fan base but he some how managed to blow it. Mainly, how decision to play young players and persisting with the likes of Faes and Winks for too long.

Ultimately somebody has to be bottom of those stats. But to be right down there on so many, and most of them key, shows how pathetic we've been. Majority of them are effort and intent based, yet some people still claim the players are trying their best

Contributed to the issues though. Vestergaard meant to be great on the ball but today he made Okoli's usual performance on the ball look like Luka Modric. Couldn't get our foot on it at any point really when we needed to. And he was shocking defensively, just lucky it didn't lead to any big chances/goals

Always knew big Phil Scolari was a Leicester fan

He should be an ok option in the PL if he was at his absolute best (don't forget the dearth of wide options we've had for over a decade). And I'm saying that as somebody who's probably been more critical of him this year than most (if you look at this thread)

He didn't. Daka 100% got there first. But don't blame the ref for not giving it in real time

Of the many disgusting decisions this season, Winks coming back in to displace a much improved/more mature Page, is right up there.

Comes on guys. They tried their best and worked really hard all game long. Let's not be mean

What? We were having a debate in which I used evidence, you did not. You then said you don't have to prove anything to me, which implies you are somehow above me and is a classic retort of somebody who is wrong, and has been given evidence to prove they are wrong, but has nothing to back it up. So just to be clear, you think that a valid debate is when one side uses evidence to back up their claim, but the other side does not and believes they should not need to? Interesting. I am quite calm. I'm not the one who keeps telling somebody else to take medication, lie down etc. You've just embarrassed yourself really

One of the reasons most fans think they could be a football manager is because they witness failing ones not making any subs, stick to the same tactics etc. He admitted it was a must win, yet in no way did his decisions reflect that

But I have to prove it to you? You're as arrogant as the players, who you think have tried really hard. You are literally the only person out of 100's who thinks they showed good fight/effort. But I must be wrong.

That's it Asmir, you stay back

Glad they've at least tried really hard

Disgraceful treatment. He looked great when he came back in and is then shunted out for Winks

. I've literally given you examples, you've given nothing back. But I'm the illogical one...

I absolutely am. You're talking nonsense. You think there has been fight? Harry Winks lost a an Ariel duel to 4ft Conor Chaplin. When Thomas was on the floor, desperately not needing help there was a single teammate in sight. Look at the goal, complete lack of desire to compete. Begovic was time wasting right from the start of the second half. Countless more examples. You're right that I'm 'emotional' about it but not blind to logic. You clearly are

Great header. Unlucky. We know he's crap but expecting him to score goals that Ronaldo wouldn't is crazy

Look at the difference in effort. Vestergaard shite

Must wing game according to Rowett but let's only have 1 striker on the pitch

Then you're not watching with your eyes. There's been so many clear examples of them not grafting today. Crazy you think otherwise. Must be the only person on here who thinks that

Monga just sat there

James has had his gear on ready to go 15 mins ago

Oh, now they players decide to run

No changes
