BDCR has to start on Thursday. Get Mads to give him the ball and let him work his ‘ghost on the pitch™️’ magic.. sorry

Play Golding on Thursday, get Mads to give him the ball and let ‘The PSR Kid™️’ work his magic..

He’s that good he can play, left, right or centrally. Just a shame he’s not had the opportunities at his home town club yet. We’ll probably get to see him for one season in the championship before he gets poached by a club that we should not be selling our best players to. A club like Palace, Brentford or dirty Leeds.

Yep get Maresca back, if just for the inverted full back and 2 number 8’s set up. Much better than the inverted right winger favoured by Cooper and now RVN. The latter set up needs a mythical super human wing back/right back hybrid and an opponent that has no left winger. Playing with an inverted right back might also discourage RVN from playing a snail paced winger like Ayew ir BDCR on the right and that has to be a good thing.

We can still finish top of the bottom 3. With our squad and manager that would be a massive achievement. There’s always an excuse to play. Maybe one day we might score a goal or get a clean sheet. If we do then every fan should be belting ‘this is the season for us’ out! It’s a fkin stomping wah wah effects pedal infused football and specifically LCFC classic, much better than the new player selections that we are now forced to hear.

Any mention of music is my excuse to reiterate the club should play ‘this is the season for us’ at some point near to kick off. It’s a classic song sang by the squad back in 1974 and it’s got very easy lyrics to sing along to. Everton have got their song (albeit with that embarrassing school girl squeal) and Leeds have their old classic. We need this!

The lads are out clubbing again, drowning their sorrows after the news.

I actually think Ipswich might go down stronger than us. They’ll lose Delap and Phillips but not much else. They won’t be carrying too much dead weight like we will. We’ll need to reintegrate Mavididi and Fatawu back as starters and bring the kids in. Nelson, Alves, Evans, Monga etc and we might need to accept that we are playoff level at best as we rebuild.

What ever formation, he just needs to find a way to fit Elk and Buonanotte in the starting 11. Start planning for next season for when Alves will surely replace Facundo. Play players that can actually create opportunities that might result in a goal because there’s little chance of us keeping a clean sheet even if we switch to a 3-5-2 formation because we just don’t have good defenders at this level.

Terrible VAR intervention sending off in the Bournemouth match. Never a red card. I do wonder whether the constant false narrative that Wolves pushed over the last 12 months that they were being unfairly treated by PGMOL has meant more sympathetic treatment this season. First it was the comical two match ban (delayed so it was spread over a cup match) for Cunha and now this.

I’ve stated he should be starting or getting significant game time for us. I stand by that. It’s only Leicester that doesn’t expose our young creative players to first team action. Southampton have played Dibling all season and he’s looked exceptional in a poor team. It’s not damaged his career one bit, he’s enhanced his reputation despite playing in a side equally as bad as ours. As for being toxic have you followed the fortunes of Cardiff over the last decade? He’s now getting game time at a club equally as ‘toxic’ as ours. Alves is good enough to get significant game time in this Leicester City team this season. His presence in the team would’ve been seen as entirely positive by the crowd and he has the ability and self confidence to back up that positivity. This is not a K-Mac situation, this is a player who has been oustanding at every level and always played above his age group. The fact he hasn’t been given a chance and now won’t this season is a failing of Ruud and the club.

Well you are wrong then. We had 48% possession of the ball yesterday. That’s pretty standard for us this season. We have a good share of the ball. We can’t score because Ruud doesn’t trust the creative players that can create and score opportunities, like Buonanotte, like Mavididi AND like Alves. There’s absolutely no reason why he can’t get the game time here other than a manager who has lost his bottle. Alves wouldn’t’ve made the situation any worse than this, what can be any worse than a record breaking 6 home losses with no goals?

We do also blame the players! Pretty much every player has had a thread significantly criticising their performance and many their attitude on top. Rightly so in the majority of situations. Only probably Elk and Mads are the only ones that haven’t received much of the blame yet. We are in this situation due to mismanagement at all levels, from the very Top, directors, senior management, management and the players. They all take levels of the blame.

Alves should be starting for us. Terrible decision to loan him out. All we have done is ensure that Cardiff will be playing against us next season.

The same could be said for Ndidi last night. Both players were awful.

You had me until your final sentence. Ayew definitely shouldn’t start but BDCR takes ineffectiveness to another level.

Schlupp just had an outstanding game for Celtic away at Bayern Munich playing at left back. He would absolutely walk into this team now.

It was Hermansen that created the argument. He absolutely ranted at Soumare who, back turned, ignored him for a while. Hermansen continued ranting and started moving towards him then Soumare turned around and gestured back to Hermansen then they would’ve squared up if it wasn’t for LCFC players around them. If u were going to apply your u21 rule then you’d have to send Mads with him!

Ruud’s major undoing and disconnect with the fans has been his bizarre obsession with BDCR & Ayew and his dropping of Mavididi and specifically of Buonanotte. He’s literally taken goals out of the team and replaced it with slow non-creators who offer nothing in attack and little or no defensive ability. I still do not see what BDCR offers as a footballer. We might well have lost the games still but we would’ve scored. ELK and Buonanotte can play together and they should now for the rest of the season if nothing else to give the fans some entertainment.

Not mentioned the kids. Assuming we get relegated, we need to start fast tracking players like Alves, Evans, Monga etc. Let’s actually see these lads actually play for LCFC rather than being snatched by the likes of Liverpool before they even get the chance to show Leicester fans what they can do,

We’ve got to start risking these players. None of them will be told what you’ve suggested. Treating them too gently has not worked with our forward or creative youth players in the past. Our squad is lacking pace and lacking creativity and it’s lacking money. In this situation we should be trying out these outstanding kids and seeing how they get on. If they are good enough then they will cope, if they aren’t then they’ve had a chance and will have at least achieved a 1st team appearance or 2! If they are good enough they are old enough.

None of those would get in the Leeds or Sunderland teams I’ve watched tonight

I look at BDCR and I still can’t get my head round loaning Alves out despite lots of people on here saying he’s not ready. I’m not convinced a not ready Alves is any worse than our current options.

Take out our LCFC bias and look at the team set up from top to bottom and it’s an inevitability. Player for player, this squad’s comparative ability is perfectly reflected by our current league position of bottom but one. A 38 year old striker being fed by two 30+ non wingers, neither blessed with pace (and one with no apparent dribbling ability) but still playing as actual wingers. An inexperienced number 10, great on the ball but not achieving the assists or goals that one day he will. The 2 midfielders behind him, one very injury prone and one who continually loses concentration off the ball. Then a defence with no reliable defensive rocks. Every one of them more flawed than able at this level, either through lack of pace, positional sense, football intelligence or football ability. A goalkeeper that he and the rest of the squad knows will get a move irrespective of where the club finishes at the end of the season. A team with no obvious leader and one with a weakened bench with few promising players not trusted by a novice manager who is stubborn with his team selection and tactics despite losing game after game. A team full of players haunted by previous relegations with an increasingly fractious crowd, with an absent senior management team - some more focused on maintaining their own position as head sycophant to the owner. A senior management team that have failed consistently over a significant period of time and have shown, with contracts dished out over the summer, that they still have minimal knowledge of market values of players not to mention a total lack of common sense succession planning with regards their managers (Enzo to Cooper ffs.) All absolutely clear relegation indicators.

Ripped apart by Nwaneri and then just left Merino for the second goal. Bizarre positioning for that one and I can only assume he was knackered? Surprised MOTD didn’t pick up on it but their analysis didn’t even mention Leicester! 😂Personally I’d play Coulibaly on the right and JJ on the left. Ruud won’t drop VK though. He’s there until the bitter end along with our paceless wing pairing of BDCR and Ayew.
