Could This Be the Most Important January Ever?
orangecity23 replied to StanSP's topic in Leicester City Forum
We have struggled to do business in a efficient or timely manner in the January window for years now. It's far too easy to see us mucking about until the end of the month before scrabbling around at the end for a couple of bodge solutions that don't accomplish what we need and still leaves one or two of the problems completely unhanded. -
It wasn't a heavy stretch - that clumsy oaf Craig Dawson stood directly on Vardy's ankle. That was what caused the damage.

There was no real booing until he managed to dive out the way to make it 2-0. He'd already lost the match for us before people started getting on his back. This narrative that the pressure of booing made him mess up is totally backwards, since he'd already lost the plot by that point. I think he just seems to have no ability to deliver under any kind of pressure. He'll perform in the odd cup game, like that league cup tie earlier this season when nothing matters, but put him in a game where there's anything to play for and he folds quicker than an Oragami speedrunner.

You know how the 3pm TV ban is supposed to be to protect smaller teams? I propose a new format for it. Big 6 banned from Television in the UK, to protect all the other clubs. Glory hunting twats can mess around getting viruses and using shit websites to try to stream games, the rest of us can watch our teams in smooth, legal HD. Time to teach the glory hunting muppets who've ruined football with their armchair support of big 6 teams what its like trying to follow teams when the media isn't falling over itself deperately trying to cram them down your eyeballs 24/7.

The money we've spent is only one side of the coin, it's the volume of those big money players who've left on frees that has done just as much damage. We saw Tielemans Soyuncu Perez Mendy Amartey Iheanacho Evans Praet Silva Slimani All leave without raising a single pound in transfer income.

He's just too slow to play on the wing for 90 minutes anymore. If he's playing, it needs to be in a more central role, ideally off the bench at a stage of the game when we're doing well at keeping possession at the top end of the pitch, so his lack of mobility isn't exposed and there are other players close enough to him to link up with.

Brighton Home 2-2 Post Match Thread
orangecity23 replied to urban.spaceman's topic in Leicester City Forum
Cracked me up when I saw that, there's being slow but that was some next level effort to avoid having to move more than the necessary amount -
Bloody Fairweather fan is Bob, he doesn't come down if Sky Sports move a match to Monday evening....

If you are playing wing backs, they've got to have some pace and carry an attacking threat to carry it off. If you just play defensive full backs you get pinned in and can't get out of your half. They have to push forward or you have no attacking width whatsoever. Based on what we've got available for this,, Thomas would be about last of the list who could pull it off. Kristiansen would be more attacking than Thomas, and I'd rather take a punt on McAteer or even BdCR who's played wingback in the past. Hope I'm wrong, but can't see this lineup working for that formation. -
Ruud awakening for the Premier League!
orangecity23 replied to DJ Barry Hammond's topic in Leicester City Forum
Hey Ruud, we sure are glad, you took this shit job, to make us better Tell Top, to bin off Jon Rudkin Then we'll begin, to fix the Leicester, Leicester, Leicester NA NA NA NANANA, NANANA HEY RUUD -
The voice of the O'Neill era, I got into following City following his match commentry on Radio Leicester. Proper legend, RIP.

The writing was on the wall since pre season. Looked like a second choice desperation pick when he arrived, and not one performance in his entire tenure looked like a well coached, prepared team delivering a solid 90 minutes. Hopefully the club spend more than 5 minutes on due diligence for the next candidate, instead of falling for some shit like Jesse Marsche because he did a good PowerPoint presentation.

He was England U16 & 17 according to Wiki.
-
For everyone laughing at this - it is referring to Pearson, not the Tater Peeler. So I guess with England u21 alumni there's a 50/50 chance of building the greatest team you'll ever have or destroying the club for a decade

Ipswich away 2nd November Match Thread
orangecity23 replied to ozleicester's topic in Leicester City Forum
Fireman Soumare - the crossover we all want to see. That little shit Norman sets fire to the shop/school/church etc, Bouba just sits in the station all afternoon reading the paper while it all burns to the ground, because he can't be arsed to get up and into the fire engine. -
Ipswich away 2nd November Match Thread

No live audio on lcfc.com for this one? EDIT: Sods law, appeared as soon as I posted -
Bouba Soumare is about twice the size of Nampalys Mendy, and approximately 1/15th the quality of him.

You've shown that some people in here wanted Enzo out last year. There are plenty more of us, myself included, who never wanted Enzo out. Equally, one could make an argument that a large contigent of the Cooper In posters are pro Cooper because they convinced themselves that possession football is "tippy tappy shit" and Cooper will have us playing "proper" football. Let's dig up some old posts shall we, to see if my baseless conjecture is on the money? You only joined the forum at the start of the season, so we'll just have to take your word for what your opinions were when times were tough last season in the run in.

When you think about it, he's managed us for 9 league games, 2 league cup games and all of pre-season, and not once in that time has there been a full, solid, 90 minute good performance (possible exception - Tranmere at home in the cup). Even the good results feature one half that's an absolute horror show.
-
If it's all of our fault for picking the team with Fatawu and Ricardo in that's to blame, even though that starting 11 was completely fine for the entire first half, can I have all the credit for subbing Fatawu on last weekend as well please? I've always said Buonanotte is good too, so I'll take all that credit for the Bournemouth win too, ta.
-
In what world is he thinking Bouba Soumare is going to come on and change a game? If you asked Soumare if he wanted to come on and if he was up for it, he'd probably just nod off back to sleep.
-
I've been to every home game - and that makes me feel worse about Cooper. When you are at games, you get to see all the problems close up, like abysmal team selections, subs being left too late, the defensive problems caused by the lopsided Cooper formation, or Abdul Fatawu being inexplicably left on the bench unused while a rain sodden 39 year old Ashley Young gets left to go about his business unbothered for 90 minutes as we are desperately chasing the game against Everton. I find a lot of the "Oh, you are just being negative for no reason" chat on here is from people who don't watch games at all, they just look at the results for 2 seconds and go - "see, it's fine, I don't know what you are complaining about. We're aiming for 17th/were in League 1 not long ago/have a shit squad/what do you expect" etc.
