That play with Fats and JJ scared to actually do something on the edge of the box and it ends up with Okoli who is useless at passing.

What’s more annoying is Thomas doesn’t even get forward in a position where he gets involved.

Enzo must have been a drill sergeant as these players are playing the same useless way, making the same mistakes and lack of effort under 3 managers. The cbs are too slow out the back, no one is playing the wingers into space, expecting them to skin the defence from a standing start but they are good at the basics. Ayew stinking out everything he does even though many defend that his hold up playand set pieces are his career strength.

Greedy players but then seem scared ti actually try anything when they get to the goal.

Soumare had plenty of time to play Abdul in behind the player, squares it so he has to drop backwards. Brain dead team.

Defenders taking too long to pass the ball out the back, get pressed then just boot it out. Mavadidi if getting zero support and wants to take everyone on. Abdul is getting slowly marked but still trying to skin him rather than being played into space. Ayew holds the ball up but won’t pass and bring anyone into the game. Same useless players playing the same useless way.

His hold up play and set pieces. Dog shit.

And offer no support or try to draw players away.

I love a good bon mot but that’s not as witty as you think it is. I have eyes. You watch Soumare constantly stand behind a player instead of moving to receive the ball. You watch him pass back at most opportunities without attempting to look around. You watch him smash the ball into Bilal when he’s crowded by defenders. You watch JJ and Thomas pass back at most opportunities without attempting to look forwards. You watch them stand around and offer no support other than getting the ball to send backwards.

Another manager picking Soumare. Let’s see if this one is as useless as the others by letting him play exactly the same way and ignoring the mistakes. I’m sure Winks can bypass Soumare and get the ball to Bilal quickly. Hopefully the fullbacks will attempt to create overlaps and create space for the wingers by drawing players away instead of standing around watching them be double teamed.

I don’t want to hear from the useless ***** because they aren’t going to come out and say what we all want them to say. It’s just the usual milquetoast, cliched quotes that don’t match what we are seeing. I want Radio Leicester to do more but they won’t as it’s too stage managed. Even when they gave Cooper a bit of a tough question last season, he came out with his usual waffle but they never followed it up. I just want to hear Soumare to say thanks for my time and I look forward to a new challenge.

JJ was just as boring and negative on the left under BR and Enzo. He played exactly like Thomas does now. Calls for the ball, sends it back the apologises to the winger. Barnes and Mav barely for a forwards pass or support from him and Thomas is the same with Mav and Monga.

I can’t stand to see him call for the ball just to send it back, the same Soumare and JJ. They all get PTSD when they look forwards with the ball at their feet.

So it already seems like a repeat of last seasons. Game after game being at fault but always starting. I think the only player that has been vocal on pitch to the idiot was Mads. Skipp is getting more attention as he tries and is shit, Soumare actively avoids getting involved and causes the problems, when he gets involved he’s also shit.

Apart from Ricardo who do we have as a professional role model? Or someone that will speak up and say the things people don’t want to hear, even if it’s better for the team and the individual. I don’t think we have anyone who wants to rock the boat. How long would Xhaka stand with a coworker like Soumare? Remember when Maddison dived early on and got sent off, he said the senior players hammered him. Who has Monga got to look up to and learn from? Hope he isn’t developing the bad traits from Ayew and Mavadidi. He is young and has no one of talent around him. Abdul needs that person for his own development. I’m not laying into Monga, but it looks like he’s picked a few shitty things from them already. That’s down to lack of authority and leadership. He needs an Albrighton type figure.

He isn't helping his case by playing two of the biggest donkeys in the squad for both games. If they both start next game I'm writing him off already as useless as the previous two.

Like JJ, I can't stand seeing him call for the ball as his body is always positioned to send it straight back. Abdul, Monga and Mav deserve fullbacks behind them that will actually pass the ball forwards or a midfielder who will play them into space.

We want the dross sold not our only good players. Get rid of Abdul, BEK and Winks and what do we have left? Zero passes forward. Our two full backs are scared to even think about looking forwards, Mavadidi wants content for his step over YouTube clips and Ayew is great at countering any counter attack. Soumare and Skipp in midfield is obvious. Then we have the chuckle brothers at cb. Our best player is 16 years old.

Is this a case of accusing and hoping we have failed when trying to defend or they have clear evidence already that we have. I guess we are such low hanging fruit it’s easy to say every season we believe you have failed.

I’m not a fan of Hamza but he was pretty dynamic and wanted to get forward to help Abdul and provide additional support. Both Thomas and JJ are scared to pass forwards and if they do provide no overlap . Our wingers work in spite of the idiots around them,

More like when he passes forwards to a winger in space for them to attack.

Forgot the double pivots etc, we need JV to pass the ball to Winks first time quickly into space so we don’t have to have these fancy triangles and 10 passes as a player can’t turn with the ball,

If they get rid of those 3 then the season won’t be worth watching. Monga will have no positive role models or players with ability to learn from. We will be stuck with players too scared to pass forward or even think about crossing the halfway line or players who fall over and hog the ball.

Ricardo is both a good player and has a footballing brain, things Soumare and Skipp lack. Hopefully Ricardo can stay fit and play that position with Winks, we need him enjoying his football and playing at the level we know he can for the sake of promotion. If the club get rid of Winks, BEK and Abdul in this season and expect the donkeys left to get us promoted, then they get what they deserve.

Any team without Soumare would be perfect for BEK so he can receive a pass quickly in an area where he can cause damage, not dropping deep constantly.
