He talks a very bad, already defeated game with added buzz words/statements that don’t actually mean anything. It’s no surprise he’s lost the players.

Nuge moved local but the rest commuted with no problems.

If you’ve listened to Ben Marshall’s very funny ‘under the cosh’ episode his issues weren’t related to commuting. His problems were drinking and shagging 😂

They’ve all stunk the place out. Which midfielders do we have that are better footballers than Winks? Ndidi perhaps but other than that?

A lack of reliability can be a sign of lack of commitment. I’m not saying Madders is pulling sickies but using him as a glowing example of commitment when he misses a third of the season every season is a bit of a stretch. Winks commuting is a non issue that is perhaps being used by RVN to reinforce his leadership when he’s struggling to manage. The issue is a poor people manager, managing a poor squad (badly) at a club that is an absolute embarrassment at the moment from Top to bottom.

Seriously? Have you never worked with a colleague that seems to be more susceptible to illnesses and never (even subconsciously) questioned their commitment? Wow.

You’re referencing madders as a glowing example of commitment. A player who misses a third of the season every season.

However painful it is to accept, Winks is one of our better midfielders. Better than Skipp, better than Soumare. RVN should focus on imposing the bare minimum standards on the pitch first. That starts with picking the best players at his disposal and playing them with some semblance of an attacking plan. He’s failed miserably at this. He instructed his team to defend the 2-0 loss in the 2nd half yesterday (as confirmed by Luke Thomas) as if losing 2-0 without a fight or even attempting to score is going to help our desperate relegation fight. His standards have resulted in 0 goals in the last 7 games, - all defeats. His management of Winks hasn’t improved the player or the team, his management of Buonanotte hasn’t improved the player or the team, his management of Mavididi hasn’t helped the player or the team, his management of Coulibaly has been disastrous. As I say, the only player who isn’t dialling it in at the moment is Luke Thomas. Poor people management from RVN.

Can’t believe the amount of positive comments are on here about RVN dealing with this issue. He’s been a complete failure from a management perspective. He’s desperate to improve standards off the pitch but he seems to have absolutely no care about standards ON the pitch which have plummeted significantly from even the poor levels under Cooper. He’s forced players to stop commuting but how has that helped Vestergaard for example? He’s now in the bomb squad. Picking unnecessary fights with one of our better midfielders who’s just had a kid and who commuted every day during Enzo’s stint (and with no problems) seems stupid and the act of an increasingly desperate leader. The fact is he has none of the team other than arguably Luke Thomas actually playing for him would suggest he needs to look closer to home and his own management techniques which have dumped creative players, ignored youth, demotivated the entire squad and alienated the fans.

Bomb squaded Winksy last night. I get that like the rest of the midfield he has had a poor season but Ruud’s incapability to get him to play after Soumare and Ndidi continue to fail is another reason why his position is untenable. Say what you like about Winks but he has more quality than Skipp, more application than Soumare.

Yeh he’s had no backing but week on week he picks teams that aren’t going to score never mind win an actual game. Benching Buonanotte, Mavididi, Pereira, ignoring his new attacking wing back signing Coulibaly. Ignoring all of the creative youth players. He’s done the very worst job he could using the worst combination of players at his disposal.

Totally out of his depth AND on top of that he’s given up. Team set ups that are never going to provide goals and he seems to hate any players with any semblance of creativity except for ELK (who he’s actually made less creative.) If he’s given the opportunity to manage us in The Championship we could be looking at consecutive relegations.

Dr Leicester cures Jackie Grealish

That’s very true.

Viktor Kristiansen has played like a plucky middle aged comedian in a soccer aid match. Lots of effort can’t hide a truly woeful performance.

We won’t

A truly disgusting first half performance from the team. No confidence, no clue and minimal effort. Embarrassing. Thank god my stream went down at half time.

McAteer in the creative number 10 role? Seriously?😟 😂

Whilst this is a description of Soumare, you could read that exact description for Skipp. He’s Soumare but without the clever turns and dynamic breaks that Bouba does provide despite being a fundamentally flawed midfielder in the Premier League. Skipp is also flawed but worse. He is a meat and potatoes midfielder seen throughout league 1 and below. And we’ve got him for another 4.5 years.

When he saw it was Ayew taking it, he wisely stayed back in goal ready to pick up his towel, shake hands with the ref, leave the pitch promptly and go and research property options in Chelsea.

Moyes and Nuno play with some attacking intent. Dyche has always played the one system and watching his negative non football would be a move that takes us back to the pre Pearson dark ages. We are talking Gary Meggo Megson levels. As I say, ask Everton fans.

If he’s one of our better Championship players next year we are well and truly fcuked. He had one good season for Norwich when he was thinking he had a bright future at Spurs. His optimism has been crushed by his rejection by Spurs and subsequently by his dawning realisation that he is now 5th choice behind Ndidi, Bouba, Winks and an out of position Ricardo at a club that is one of the worst squads to ever disgrace the Premier League.

It tells us how far we have fallen when people are actually suggesting Dycheball™️ as an option. It’s an horrific watch, ask any Everton fan.

Any LCFC wildly singing and creating an atmosphere during that display last night and coming after the endless pathetic efforts we’ve seen from the lads this season must be on something. The fact that the majority of the crowd was quiet last night shows a fanbase that knows that the majority of the players up to the owners don’t care and simply aren’t putting the effort in. Without a centralised protest which is very difficult to organise amongst such a vast number and range of fans, a collective apathy is in itself a form of protest. Ultimately if the players actually looked like they were giving 100%, the atmosphere would improve massively irrespective of the result.

The odds of us actually scoring will soon become longer than us getting smashed more than our record victory of 9-0 before the end of the season.
