The best result we had last year was stuffing Southampton at our place and Enzo was unimpressed with our style afterwards. To those who think Enzo could do better right now fair play, but for me he was deludedly rigid, even Pep tells the lads to go long against certain opposition.

I see them as we were with a couple of seasons building in the prem. I see us now as the newbies, albeit with prem players, without the proper build up at this level. It's at home and a derby, but by no means are we favourites.

Agreed, to me it was an excellent move for Enzo and us. I can't bring myself to agree with those who see him as anything other than a manager who can only work with a superior group of players to those around him. Leicester in the Championship and Chelsea in the Premiership. Any other way he gets found out. To me anyway.

Can't help believing that Enzo would have done exactly the same things Kompany did with the same outcomes.

Agree, hope he does prove us wrong because ultimately that is great for LCFC. For me, Rogers was the first manager that gave me the feeling that he'd try to win, but absolutely didn't let it bother him if they didn't. Had some good games in the bank and a good excuse why they were failing. And nothing was his fault. Unprofessional. If I don't go home a little stressed with a slight headache, then I'm not performing at peak and I know it. When it matters i haven't got the luxury of warming up/down. 100% first until last. In such a privileged profession, premiership managers shouldn't behave like Rogers.

Never really looked at him and thought that he was trying to lose a game, his team selection/subs are not for me at times, but he is genuine I think. Because there's a lot on the line for him this season. If he's dismal for us and gets the sack, leaves him out in the cold after failing twice in the prem. There is a real chance for him to build something special at Leicester and I think that a lot of fan's are not prepared to believe it could happen for him/us. It could happen for him/us.

This Cooper In thread will be longer than the Cooper Out if we win the next two games. F-ing love it 😀

Fully up for it defines them, it's a brilliant quality. We've had brilliant players that aren't and it's a disaster. Hope Coops can get us properly motivated come Fri eve.

I'm Loughborough side too and Forest putting us, F A Cup champions, out with a proper thrashing still haunts me now. Cooper had the Forest team fired up for that game and as soon as I found out he was to be our manager, I longed for the day that he could guide us to a win over his old team.

😂 Each to his own, I was being honest from my point of view, sa'll good 👍

A friend who never misses a game is ok-ish with Copper and a good friend, 1 of 3 who sit together, are all prepared to see how he goes over the next few games. None of them and others I sit next to sound like this Cooper Out thread.

Generally, not about singling people out, hoping to emphasise a little objectivity

100% and I find a lot if fans, at the match, don't actually feel as bad about Cooper as this forum would suggest.

I'm slowly coming round to how single minded/unconditionally biased this overhyped Cooper Out thread is. And boring. He has the dressing room, despite threads about him losing the players. Back your F-ing manager and stop spouting silly shit like, 'l'd sooner lose 4.0 if it gets him fired'. Come on Fox's we're just the best fans and LCFC has had such brilliant times lately. Celebrate the wins and good times, please.

I'm sort of agreeing with you to a point but winning is a game plan gone well, to me, but gone perfectly well is another thing altogether. Arsenal look good, brilliant manager, great set pieces, with an absolute game plan and identity, but it didn't work against Bournemouth and being a man down is equivalent to being 2 goals down. Well executed Cooper no so much Arteta.

True It absolutely is no indicator, but how do you legislate for conceding two sloppy goals? Cooper sets up the team so that his players can take advantage of their opponents in certain areas/situations, and they did so over the course of the 100 minutes. Games ebb and flow, no manager needs applauding for a half a game, but they do for the 3 points.

You should really blame them my friend because our players are very well payed and looked after, pro footballers means professional, and Fats is a model pro doing his job. We can't use any player with a bad attitude in such an important season and negative fans are about as much use too. Well done Cooper for the win, regardless of how most fans feel, the game was well executed full stop.

😂

Any particular bar in Benalmadina showing City?

Must agree with your logic, I don't love Cooper, but probability goes both ways. We go 2 up against Palace looking a threat, then back off until it's embarrassingly defensive, before Cooper has even made a change. Admittedly his subs were crap, but the same 11 played both good and bad. players play at as a collective and should take a certain amount of responsibility for their performance.

Again it's if's buts and maybes, maybe we'll get significantly better, who knows

Just because we've been lucky that others are crap, it doesn't mean we'll go down either. So many fans are taking circumspect, wishful thinking and blind hatred to justify why Coops is useless. x GA/GF is usefully bollocks.

Listened on me buds whilst jogging through the rain, brilliant episode and nicely balanced this week...Great effort boys and a worthy charity, will donate tonigh 👏

Martin has the Kompany handbook on how to be inflexible but look eager, get stuffed every week, drop onto a Munich plum job. Trouble is he didn't go to the school of Pep, so he'll end up at Derby.

Brilliant analysis 👏
