All depends on when Mads is back

No FB and Ward ahead of Iversen - disappointing

Where the f*** did that come from

We can’t defend we can’t keep the ball we can’t attack we don’t appear to even give a damn we are tactically clueless But other than that we are playing great Honesty this isn’t as bad as I’ve seen under Cooper it still ain’t as bad as some of our halves this season

Dear Jim Ratcliffe Just look at (but don't read) this thread, 8 pages of support (honestly) for Steve Cooper showing how good a job he is doing. I really think you should employ him as the new Man United manager. Honestly I am not just trying to get rid of him Your Sincerely Leicester City

Exactly how did his subs make any positive difference! 2nd half, we have played completely clueless.There is no plan!

Can’t defend Did not create anything in 2nd half Looked like we pass blind in the final third NF look more likely to score 5 than us get a 2nd! And actually one of better performances this season (maybe) One half wonders

I still have nightmares over that performance against Bournemouth This season I have been reliving it every week

Is this how Bobby De Cordova-Reid got a job with LCFC? Replying to a foxestalk forum job thread for a casual bench warmer

We’ve been poorly managed in game, made subs too late and had bizarre sub selections in 100% of our games!

The table after 5 matches lies We have played awful and had 2 lucky draws, our performances deserve only 1 point (possibly 3 if SC knew how to manage a game against Palace)

"They stuck to the application of not losing" This was included in Coopers press comments regarding playing a 4th tier side - shows his ambition

We were lucky not to lose to a team 3 leagues below us. But for 68 minutes Cooper did nothing - was he really happy with how that match went again??? Has anyone checked whether he is still on Notts Forest payroll because either he is sabotaging us or he really hasn’t a clue about football management

He has always shown he is great talent, but sometimes frustrates with taking the incorrect option - especially last season However, when you think the following season we could sign Ayew and De Cordova-Reid - you start to recognise that he was an excellent signing

I'm confident it will be this season in a game where our goal leads a charmed life and the opposition have 33 shots, hit the woodwork 4 times (which will be more times than Vardy touches the ball) and somehow we finish 0-0

I thought we were awful. Everton should have been out of sight in the 1st half. Cooper hasn't won a PL match in 18 games - only paid attention to the last 5 and can see why - doesn't have a clue Better after FB (our best player in the 1st 2 matches, but randomly dropped since) came on, but still didn't create enough Everton had a full back issue and we should have started with Fatawu instead of Ayew. We didn't use out bench effectively - we can use 5 subs these days and despite taking control of the game failed to create anything real and had to rely on a lucky corner Ricci superglued to the bench and Vestegaard relegated to the naughty step - both would be involved with a Manager who had the squad behind him We didn't have our young academy international McAteer in the squad, who would offer more from the bench than Reid - although as already advised - Cooper ain't going to use the bench anyway Not sure if it is the players or what Cooper is getting out of our players - this looks to be our worst team ever in the PL (Basset & the 2002 squad are their only challengers)

Great Analysis again. However you mention the fact we had momentum in the 2nd half without actually looking like an attacking threat and failed to use our subs again, but like Spurs the game was only not out of sight at this point because of the oppositions poor finishing and in fact it turned out to be a lucky point We knew Everton would be struggling at Full Back so why we did not start Fatawu instead of Ayew - only Cooper will know (add that to the list with tactics, Ricci superglued to a bench and sending Vestegaard back to the naughty step)

In short - we are not a bad team, but being poorly managed during the game! A player who has had injury problems and not match sharp, was brought on to tighten up and invite pressure onto the defence, then mis controlled the ball and in his desperation sticks out a leg and costs us 2 points (Meanwhile we have an international defender who is match fit and playing well dropped from the squad with no reason - who would have been a better personal option if the idea to bring an extra defender on was a good idea - which it wasn't)

I heard it last week, senior players do not like Coopers "Hands Off" approach. Enzo was telling all players exactly what he wanted at all times, where as Cooper leaves them to think for themselves more. I have to believe there is some truth to it - Vestegaard being dropped from the squad with no reason, Ricci not playing a single minute so far - it feels like something else is going on and I've not heard any players speak supportively of the new manager - last season all they talked about was how Enzo had changed things since he came in

Mads Riccy Vestegaard Okili Kristensen Ndidi Winks Fatuwu Buenonotti Mavidi Vardy We need Pace out wide on both blanks. Vestegaard is just less nervy than Faes Riccy has to play some part this season Kristensen over JJ just because having a left footed more forward thinking Left Back has to be used with the issues Everton are having with full backs this season Ndidi back as a ball winning midfield with Winks alongside him as the playmaker just behind FB who needs to come in for creativity No bringing on extra defenders late in the game If we need a change in midfield, use Skipp and not Hamza Not sure if Vardy can see out 90 minutes, but can use Edouard of the bench

I feel we have the players to be doing better. Still not sure what his tactics are? We are scoring goals, but that appears to be in spite of the approach to the game, rather than because we look dangerous The choice/timing of substitutions in poor Defensively at this level we are weak, late subs making us defend more doesn't work Hamza/Coady were never going to be positive subs? Why has Ricci not played a minute Why has Vestegaard being dropped despite good performances Why has FB being dropped, despite being probably our best player in the opening 2 matches I don't want to turn against a manager after 4 matches, but he is raising more questions than answers at the moment

FB dropped - really Steve?

Surely not - we probably cant afford to sack him
