Get Soumare off.

5atb and they still stand still letting them walk into the box. Donkeys

Daka passing backwards twice when he has no one close by to tackle him and Soumare unable to pass. Tracks back, runs away and then stands still.

Shame those legs are scared to look forwards. It will be like a Chuckle Brothers convention with 5atb.

So we have an extra clown at the back to drift out of position and pass backwards poorly and another donkey up front to point and not press. Soumare in midfield is a waste as once Chelsea realise we won’t beat their trap due to having no press (apart from Bilal), their cbs will just walk by as Soumare keeps his heart rate low. I’m sure they will find a way to drift out of position leaving the wings exposed as usual. Let’s see it VK/Thomas & JJ will get by the halfway line before they stop and pass backwards.

Ruud happy to play Soumare every week.

He will start Ayew and class that as doing something different to last week. Everyone else will be the same.

He will always find a new low. Lovely day for an afternoon jog in the capital.

Same players, same mistakes, same tactics.

He’s hard working, smart and always willing to press and tackle. The complete opposite of Soumare for a 1/4 of the wage. If Soumare doesn’t play, how will he get his 10k steps in for the day?

I stopped listening as it was all so placid. I like Pipes but he would sit on the fence a lot and make excuses rather than constructive criticism. Seems like that’s not the case now. I’ll give it a listen again. Owen Palmer (sp?) would ask Cooper simple questions we wanted the answer to but got the usual waffle back. It would’ve been good to actually follow up and press him on them.

Especially one who has always been a milquetoast player. I had never even heard of him before he joined us. Leicester city donkey sanctuary without the charitable tax breaks.

It would be interesting to see the heat map of a dog chasing the ball in midfield compared to Soumare.

Makes me want to like Vestegaard a little more. Who are the players that didn’t like the dog, they can go on my shit list.

I can’t stand Soumare, he sums up the worst of this club. I can’t stop watching him closely out of hatred, it’s like he’s zonal marking only areas that the opposition are not in, and when they enter his zone he drifts to another. I never seen a midfielder as clueless and have zero awareness and lack of urgency. He constantly runs by a player with the ball when he’s the closet, then reacts once they have him beat. The first goal could’ve been prevented if he put his foot through the ball and actually tried to make a tackle.

Both of our fullbacks are scared of progressing up the pitch and putting a ball in quickly or committing to an attack. VK showed it in the first minute where he was open, had all the time to put a cross in, slowed it down then decided to cross as West Ham pressed. JJ is scared to do anything remotely progressive and when he does he struggled to make a simple pass today. Facundo tries to do way too much but then he is surrounded by useless idiots. JJ and him worked some space on the wing, he plays a one two and runs into space. JJ true to form does his foot on the ball and sends it backwards then looks gormless and waves to say sorry.

I cant stand watching a player get the ball, Soumare being the closest player jogs by and just looks at him. Insane how little urgency and instinct he has.

I take it back regarding JJ, he should stick to his back passes.

Has he told the defence about this tactic? Chuckle brothers to me to you to VK who is too scared to attempt a forward pass and Soumare just smashes it backwards.

The same with Soumare. Useless players and useless manager. Part of me isn’t upset at them because they are just shit, but I expect some effort.

The chuckle brothers to VK to Soumare and backwards until they punt it up as they get pressed. Rinse repeat.

Soumare started that off, he could’ve put his foot through the ball but tries to nip it and sends it in Bowens path. Then him and VK don’t bother to tackle and get turned.

I think all the donkeys played a part in that. Soumare and VK combining to start it off.

Only another 75 mins of watching VK call for the ball but send it back instantly as he’s afraid to do anything quickly, unless it’s getting skinned.

So is the plan to keep punting the ball to our short wingers to try and win in the air.
