  1. What are we judging Skipp by? If its anything before 2023 standards of course he's shit, if we are dealing with reality that we are in 2026 and the last 3 years have happened, he's probably 3 or 4th name on the team sheet for me, that's where we are.
  2. I looked at it and thought Mavididi as the striker, Silko as the winger seems the most logical to me from the lineup.
  3. You could say the same about the UK as a whole and pretty much most of the western world, seeing reality doesn't make things any better if you aren't particularly in a position to change it, an empty king Power stadium would say more than 1000s of threads on here ever could.
  4. How did we go from 6th in the championship to premiership winners in 3 years, the same way we've gone from 5th in the premiership to bottom half of the championship in 4 years, momentum, much like Vardy was we are a streaky club, would you have taken 8 years in the premiership if it meant 10 years back in the championship? I'm 41 and have never really remember us being in the top division for more than 4 years on the spin before this streak. We are a historic yoyo club, there was a massive opportunity to change that, we blew it, regardless of what division we are in, I want that feeling of looking forward to a game again.
  5. I think they should have verbally told King he had a 3 year contract back in March, we need stability, someone that roots in the club and someone who can grow with us. We have seen the 3 choices appoint a man City assistant he goes if he does well, appoint a name and if he doesn't perform you need to sack him, we need to stabilise, before looking to move forward.
  6. We won an Fa cup final because of individual brilliance, even Real Madrid and Man City have match winners, that have extra quality. Its the rest of the teams job to keep the team in the game long enough for those individual moments to matter, we won a premiership on that same process. How many goals are free flowing play where all 11 players touch the ball? That's the nature of any team, there are star performers who don't do a lot for large moments then have that genius moment, there are also others who do far more in total to affect the team, but don't have that high performance ceiling.
  7. It's very cliche, but how would we approach this if it was 0-0 at HT? That's what we need to do in the 2nd half. 45 minutes start from the first whistle, switch on and don't allow yourself to get pegged back, the crowd have a part to play also, knowing we have thrown away at least 4 leads from winning positions, get the atmosphere positive get us on the front foot, not wildly attacking and open, measured but no retreat, take the sting out of it early, dont allow them to build up any momentum.
  8. I can't help but feel if that's Danny Ward in goal instead of Stolarcyk, the same result happens for their 2nd goal but it's his thread not Cifuentes out thread gaining more traffic last night, despite what sounded like a woeful 2nd half display.
  9. I haven't seen the game but part of a team talk is surely to focus the team from the very start of the 2nd half, it's a running theme that our 2nd half seem to usually be worse than the first half.
  10. Derby? I thought we managed that one well the others fair enough
  11. I'm really happy with that, there's been a mental fragility at the club for probably 5 years, I remember being 2-0 up in the prem against Brighton and not feeling confident and in that game we threw it away to finish 2-2. We have done the same in 3 games this season Wrexham, Portsmouth and Boro, I liked the subs Thomas added something, Choudary while brain dead added a bit of grit, Skipp I thought was very good, I'd put Begovic back in goal Stolarcyk looked a bit of a car crash. We have managed to hold two leads in recent games Stoke and Today, there's a lot still to work on but we dug in, had far better game management to break up the play 7/10 for me that.
  12. How has Mavididi not scored, a decent striker and we probably win today 3-0. Should have been 2-0 up in 5 minutes and then you control the game and possession from there you can't blame Marti for some of it today, I'd have to give Evans or somebody else a chance at this rate.
  13. It's about creating momentum, the last 5 years or so it has felt like we start the season better than we finish it prem relegation season aside. It would be nice to do it the other way this year. The summer flys by when you have finished strongly, when you Peter to a slow finish the start of the next season feels like a drag. We know as Leicester fans what finishing the season strongly can do to the mood of the next season.
  14. My mistake sure that's why it's a penalty, but there are two options run to the ball or cover the crossing angle and block it. If we were talking 20 years ago it's a great decision by Faes, the game is soft and changed so I don't want to see any players making that sort of tackle when we have 2v1 numbers in the central area of the box as well as the GK making 3v1
  15. Stand on your feet and block the cross its not an either or in that situation.
  16. It's percentages if the striker or player is through on goal and a tackle needs to be made sure, if they are near the corner flag with no apparent danger why make a tackle? We see it all the time in the game tackles not attempted as the odds of winning the ball are less, ideally you win the ball without leaving the opponent on the floor if there isn't any imminent danger. The FA principles of play are delay, press, compact, cover, balance control and restraint. Its about winning the ball while not affecting the rest of the teams shape and from a place where you can counter, most defending in a game is usually not about winning the ball unless the opportunity is right to do so.
  17. I thought in the first half Monga got some questionable favourable decisions while Swansea had a couple decisions which went against them around that period. When Monga proceeded to go to ground at every opportunity those decisions changed to no free kicks late first half and the 2nd half. I agree Faes or anybody else there doesn't need to make that tackle, I did think he looked good on the ball and is a good defender for us at this level as is Vestergaard.
  18. First game I've went to for nearly 2 years. I don't know what it was yesterday but I didn't feel that joy, I used to feel when we scored. The last game I went to was the Cardiff away game in the last championship season, both times sat in the home section but when KDH scored that first goal in that evening it was a lot harder to control my emotions than yesterday, hopefully Marti can bring that identity and connection back to the team, regardless of what division we are in, I want to see that connection again, there were signs of a start of it at the final whistle between fans and the players.
  19. It's a bad decision whoever attempts that tackle, a defender should always stay on their feet where possible.
  20. 12 goals for KDH 2 years ago it's a realistic target for JJ, he's 4 years younger than KDH was and when you look at the buy fee compared to what we got for KDH has to be done.
  21. How many tickets are left?
  22. Sheffield Wednesday we did enough to win, Birmingham has been the best performance this season, I thought we looked in control there. The level has massively dropped sure, a 2nd season in the championship wouldn't be a bad thing long term we'd make that year back in the next 3-4 years.
  23. Is Mongas shirt a sign of the future, the sponsors have deserted us.
  24. You don't deserve 200 goals of that, realistically if he steps up and takes the penalty against Everton 2 years ago rather than Madison he's on 210 by now.
  25. The great reset is needed sell the best players move on the dead wood, Stolorcyk is the only one that falls into neither camp for me, the whole thing needs a mentality shift I don't wanna see more than 2 players from this team starting the first championship game next season.
