  1. Why so much negativity towards clappers? Certain that our form improved significantly following intro of clappers v west ham when cambo scored....
  2. Incredible to watch the goals again...would be just as good if not better to see every assist he has made
  3. Fuchs can do a wing back role with enough game time in my view. Only creative alternative I can think of is Maddison. Silva hasn't shown enough so far. Can't think of anyone else we have to create... Back 3 wasn't listed in a set order. Could play Simpson in a back 3 instead maybe. Ulloa has won the prem and scored a few in the prem as well. Agreed there may be better alternatives. Agreed Choudhary unproven but worth a go if he plays like he did v Arsenal. It's tough without Riyad and need Albright but not sure where he'd play.
  4. It's not that bad...a few changes here and there and that team could compete. Fuchs is better than Chilwell. Iborra better than Silva. Choudhary unproven but showed promise. Nacho or Shinji may be a better option than Ulloa. Challenge with a 352 to get the right front 5. I mean you tell me....who would your midfield 3 and front 2 be???
  5. How about.... Kasper Pereirra (RWB) Wes Evans Maguire Fuchs (LWB) Choudhary Ndidi Iborra Vardy Ulloa This team would boss set pieces but lacks pace. Also miss out on talented attacking players like Diabate, Gray and Maddison with the formation above.
  6. Mahrez is the greatest player I've seen wear a Leicester shirt. I'd never disrespect the guy - he's made dreams a reality. Can't blame him for playing bad under this manager with these awful tactics. The disrespect levels towards Mahrez from some on here are shameful. Kante gets more love than Mahrez yet Kante was the one who left at the first opportunity - Mahrez was the one who stayed loyal to us along with Vardy so why does Mahrez get the stick over Kante? How does that work?! Mahrez brings the excitement to the fans that pay to watch the team - so any armchair fans disrespecting Mahrez can do one in my opinion. Those of us that saw the miracle happen before our eyes will realise that Mahrez is an LCFC legend, worthy of some basic respect. To call Mahrez a rodent is just disgusting - don't know how you can call yourself a Leicester fan describing him that way.
  7. Looking at it from another angle, they've only conceded 32 all season (4th best defensive record in the league). Not saying Dyche is the right man for LCFC but it's still an impressive record. I'm of the belief that we always have a goal in us with Vardy on the pitch but our defensive record has cost us since Huth went out of the side. Need the new man to sure up the defence and let the forwards press and attack with freedom. Maguire does catch the eye as a good footballing centre back but we haven't kept enough clean sheets since he's been in the defence. As a defender, he should pride himself on clean sheets first and foremost.
  8. Kasper to concede from a direct free kick
  9. There just isn't enough intensity with this style of football and it is killing the atmosphere at the ground - becoming more and more difficult to get excited about watching us play
  10. I sit on row D and can tell from the body language of the players that they don't believe in his methods. No urgency and we let teams re-organise themselves before we even think about making a forward pass.
  11. I can't see how we've gone forwards under Puel - only sideways and/or backwards like his style of football. The performances have been uninspiring and the atmosphere is declining at the King Power stadium, which is no longer a fortress. The players don't play with any intensity and there is no sense of urgency or desperation to win in the performances. The manager must take some responsibility for this as it's his job to motivate the players. Dreading turning up to a game on Thursday night which has very little meaning for us. Disappointing end to the season. If he does stay, I hope he makes the necessary signings to execute his preferred style. The most frustrating thing for me is the lack of clean sheets. Vardy has been on fire, scoring in most games but our defensive record us letting us down.
  12. No I don't...noted he was injured and losing pace but he's better at defending set pieces than maguire and morgan
  13. Where is Robert Huth?? Don't understand why he's been neglected.
  14. The title win and champions league nights have made me want to experience those feelings again... Some fans seem resigned...as though we should be grateful for the title win and never expect to compete or challenge for anything again
  15. The style of football is making the fans apathetic. Takes us 10 passes to move the ball past the halfway line when all our success has previously come from being direct and disruptive with a high press.
  16. No urgency or desperation in our performances under Puel. It's just sideways football at walking pace. Letting go of Drinkwater and replacing with Silva has been a disaster for all involved.
  17. He's had a real shocker there - not sure if standing in the cold for 100 minutes went to his head or something but it was a costly error. He looks a tad overweight as well but don't want to get on his case too much. Just a shame as we had worked so hard to get the equaliser.
  18. Would be a shame for us to let the weather affect the atmosphere...ignoring the last 3 or 4 years and play-off semi finals, I can't remember a home game at the KP much bigger than this...que sera sera
  19. Need a big performance from the fans tmo - need the best atmosphere of the season
  20. I think it is definitely the current style of play. Like it or not, action is what gets the fans going. At the moment it is going sideways, backwards, sideways, forwards and back again at walking pace with no tempo. Most season ticket holders are used to seeing that fast paced counter attacking style that saw us win the league. Our players usually look desperate to win but I don't sense the same urgency from recent performances. Personally, I'm struggling to get as excited about this season - almost coming down from what has been a massive high over the last few seasons. Hopefully we can get the atmosphere back for the FA cup game vs Chelsea.
  21. Schlupp is more complete than Chilwell. Granted Schlupp would make the odd mistake putting crosses into row Z but he was a competent in the LWB role and integral during 13/14; 14/15 and 15/16. A great utility player - did little bits of link up play that often went unnoticed. It's early days for Chilwell who lacks the experience of Schlupp. Also not sure what Chilwell's win and goals conceded record is but I can imagine Schlupp's is way better.
  22. This is starting to feel like most of the first season back in the prem under Pearson where it is difficult to pick a best eleven. The team should pick itself but we don't look like a unit and there is no urgency to get it forward. We've got more competition for places than ever but difficult to find the best team at the moment. Many fans have differing views on who should start whether it's: Fuchs or chilwell Drago or Morgan Maguire or Huth Diabate, Gray or Mahrez Iborra, Silva or James Nacho, Shinji (when fit) or another fwd
  23. That season under Claudio was sheer magic. Nige was brilliant and restored the pride in the club but I honestly think we would have bottled it around Christmas time without Claudio in charge. Claudio kept the dream simmering week by week. He was clearly stabbed in the back - probably due to disharmony between back room staff, disparity in the wage and reward structure, a strenuous schedule and a culmination of new challenges for the club (just a guess). He can still take credit for steering us in to the knock-out stages of the Champs League. Maybe one day someone will write a book and we'll find out what really went on but it was a tragic end to the most beautiful footballing story ever. Something wasn't right though as the players weren't playing for him by the end.
  24. This guy Ziyech is an absolute baller - would love it if we signed him
