I can’t remember ever not caring when we concede goals like I do these days

These players are so bad I actually miss players like Junior Lewis, Trevor Benjamin & Ade Akinbiyi who at least tried

Don't worry he'll be smiling at the end of game press conference - pleased with our performance with 0.02xg

Based on how long KP have stuck with Ruud and Brendan before - we expect it to be fixed in early 2026 as the owners won't notice a problem

Unchanged for the 4th game in a row because our form is fantastic - Ruud is by far the worst manager ever - and come the end of game he will take the press conference trying not to laugh at us But I've had a sh*t day at work and decided I'm in the mood to get completely and utterly stressed out by something else so I might actually watch it

I've just asked AI what Leicester need to do to beat Newcastle tomorrow and have decided AI can do a better job than Ruud... here is the response which is much better than any Ruud press conference Current Situation of Leicester City Leicester City is currently facing a dire situation in the Premier League. As of April 2025, they sit in 19th place with only 17 points, having lost their last eight matches across all competitions and failing to score in their last seven home league games. Their goal difference stands at -42, indicating significant defensive weaknesses and an inability to convert chances into goals 1. Defensive Resilience Leicester must significantly improve their defensive performance. They have conceded an average of 2.3 goals per game over their last ten matches. To secure a win against Newcastle, who have been scoring consistently, Leicester needs to tighten their defense and avoid individual errors that lead to goals. 2. Offensive Output Leicester has struggled offensively, averaging only 0.2 goals per game in their last ten matches4. For them to win against Newcastle, they need to create more scoring opportunities and convert those chances effectively. This includes utilizing key players like Jamie Vardy and Patson Daka more effectively in attack. 3. Midfield Control Controlling the midfield will be crucial for Leicester. They need to disrupt Newcastle’s playmakers like Bruno Guimarães and Sandro Tonali while also providing support for their forwards. Winning the midfield battle can help Leicester retain possession and create attacking opportunities. 4. Utilizing Home Advantage Playing at King Power Stadium could provide a psychological boost for Leicester. They need to leverage this advantage by starting strong and maintaining high energy levels throughout the match. Engaging the home crowd early can create a supportive atmosphere that may help lift the team’s performance. 5. Injury Management Leicester’s squad depth is limited due to injuries and suspensions5. Ensuring that key players are fit and available will be essential for fielding a competitive lineup against Newcastle. If Harry Winks can return from his absence, it would bolster their midfield options significantly. 6. Tactical Adjustments Manager Ruud van Nistelrooy may need to implement tactical changes that focus on counter-attacking football or a more compact formation that prioritizes defense while looking for quick transitions into attack6. This could involve playing with two strikers or adjusting the formation based on player availability. Conclusion For Leicester City to beat Newcastle United, they must improve defensively, increase offensive output, control the midfield, utilize home advantage effectively, manage injuries wisely, and make necessary tactical adjustments during the match.

Rob Kelly would be a much better manager than Ruud, only manager I even put in Ruud category is Dave Bassett

Just watched the Manchester Derby and maybe I'm just bored of football. Modern day football, the players just don't have the passion (... Oh f*** - I've got old and turned into my Dad with the football was better in my day spiel)

The idea of Martin being the next manager makes me want to give up on football. I want to see us play with intensity... I want the old "Foxes never quit" attitude, I want to see passion from the players and the manager- I just feel so disconnected from the club at the moment - and it's not like I haven't seen poor seasons or relegations before - but something is so wrong at the moment

To be fair it's hardly new. The year after we beat them 9-0, they had the 2nd worst defence in the league so we hired the Head of Recruitment and half their back four in Bertrand and Vestegaard

Ok so I can’t count clearly, but in my defence it feels like 5!

We've never lost 11 games at home in the same season either - looking set to smash that record If we don't score tomorrow, we would have gone 5 months since a home goal

Sack Rudd and appointment Rudkin as caretaker manager Done it before, can’t do any worse and forces him in front of the press

Was it me or was he smiling through his post match interview where he cheerfully says we were 2-0 down at half time and it could have been more and delusionally says we controlled the second half and at one point we nearly passed the ball into the box *disclaimer - I’ve paraphrased and not quoted

I was going to say first game of next season. But rumours are Ruud is staying on next season, so I can’t see when we’ll ever score again

Southampton and Ipswich both actually playing like they want to fight We turn up with no attacking threat, no defence, no clue, no confidence and completely no effort

I'm completely lost with this formation. Thomas and VK are both playing as Left Backs and are too close too each other. Justin appears to be in RCB leaving too much space behind him and we have no option to spread the play on the rare occasion we have control of possession

Eriksen shoots from anywhere Soumare refuses to take a shot on And 2 down as Man United walk through us again - Offside and we have VAR this time

Note: Man United are player some youngsters - the top teams give young players a chance - where as we just put the same old shite out every week and just get told how good our youngsters are

Am I the only one thinking he is not on the pitch - so play on? (yes I know I am being harsh)

3 Goals in the last 10 games Next lowest is Southtampton and Wolves with three times as many (9) You can't win matches if you do even attempt to score

I'm guessing no changes at Half Time and probably none until about 63 minutes when we are probably be two down

Also how do you play three at the back and still have a CM sat in there when they scored - because of CB had gone walkies, not convinced anyone knows where they are meant to be playing

James Justin has had the 2nd most touches from a Leicester player with only a 71% success pass rate However our left hand side Thomas, Kristensen & Bilal have 68, 62 & 67% respectively

Ever obliging Leicester thread is back You really don't have to play good football to score against us do you?
