At least wait until we've lost before you boo him, FFS.

The thread title is poor and has caused confusion. It should be "Leicester City Players Whose Names Suggest Another Trade / Job" Because the current thread title is asking people to suggest that Lineker worked on Leicester Market and went on to be a presenter and podcast company owner, etc. OP needs better prompts for the AI age.

Leeds should have put Everton out of this game when they had the chance.

Skipp has improved this season and in the absence of injured / mardy / lazy / young midfield alternatives, Skipp is far from our team's biggest issue. It looked to me that we were diminished by his absence at the weekend.

The Arsenal fans were moaning a bit before the equaliser, so I'm wondering if there might be booing at the end, now.

By him being dealt a shit hand, I meant that he was dropped in too late with little or no preseason, had zero transfer budget, and inherited demoralised squad with overpaid want-aways. But yeah, the expectation was far higher. To persist with failing players and play players out of position, being repeatedly outdone on tactics was bad. To have the team lagging in stats for sprints, tackles, distance covered, whilst going for months without a clean sheet, was unforgivable, so he had to go.

I take it this isn't official, yet? Remembering the Pearson sacked thread when he wasn't.

He was dealt a shit hand, but he played it badly. Goodnight, sweet Spanish Prince.

Bournemouth have been in some epic ding dong matches this season. They are the Entertainers.

As much as one can feel sorry for a man earning big bucks, I feel a bit sorry for Marti, getting parachuted in with no pre-season, players having been transferred out and £0 in incoming transfers other than loans. But setting the team up to try to tiki-taka out of defence when we've got Stolarczyk and Okoli ready to fluff it, having Vestergaard lump long balls past Ayew, persisting with failing players, being ineffective at set pieces, selecting players out of position - It's not a tactical masterclass. You would at least expect a manager to inject some bite and snap, some enthusiasm, some heart, but some of our players drift through games anonymously, or are terrified of the ball, so we don't even have spirit to make up for shortfalls. I hate to ditch managers when they've been thrown under the bus by the hierarchy, but it's just not working.

We are terrible. It doesn't feel great.

2 or 3 joggers seen in that replay.

Well this sucks.

Given our injury troubles and Winks being persona non grata, I can see why Hamza is playing. I get that he is supposed to be a midfield destroyer, but that doesn't mean he can't *ever* pass it creatively. He seems to have played a lot of bounce passes backwards.

Blimey, that's a popular sub.

At this rate there is going to be a very well attended boycott from about 45 minutes...

Clean Sheet? Oh no thanks - we are Leicester City.

The ICC have said they are not going to do that, "for the integrity of the competition". Laughable, really.

This has been fun

Mrs Vac (massive cricket fan, not my doing) is getting excited that Bangladesh might now boycott the T20 World Cup in India and Scotland are in line to replace them (as highest ranked non qualifier) if they do. Would be in England's group, too. We were at the last World cup game when Scotland played England and it was called off due to rain while Scotland were, frankly, on top. I wouldn't have lived it down, so I'm hoping we spank them if it turns out that way, this time.

Their own fans have been booing them at a European game. Living the dream.

Oh that is delicious.

Our last two league games where we've won points were an undeserved last gasp victory over West Brom (admittedly a scorcher of a shot) and an injury time equaliser which was against the run of play. So, even when we win points, we are pretty awful and it's often undeserved. A large portion of this squad went on a record-breaking losing streak last season and we didn't score week after week, while we got repeatedly roughly pumped. This season, we do score goals, but we now haven't kept a clean sheet for months. Whenever we are on TV, they put up stats showing that we have among the league's fewest sprints, tackles, etc, so it seems that players who put in the least effort in the league keep getting selected. Our supporters have eyes, and they can see a disjointed side that plays in fits and starts, and a lack of apparent game plan, resulting in many fans staying away from games. Those fans who remain have lost patience. It's not inconceivable that Thomas or Stolarczyk could get booed by our own fans at a home game, soon. Confidence is low. A significant points deduction looms. So yeah, I'd say this is a low just now and it could go very much lower. Probably will do. If there's hope, it lies in not getting a major points deduction, surviving this season, bringing on as many of our Academy prospects as we can, and then offloading the dross on big wages from the squad. it's going to be tough.

Jordan Ayew's pitch map is just a series of divots and depressions in the pitch where he landed 48 times.

What you all moaning about? Good away point, that We move on.
