Mads isn’t going anywhere in January ffs 😂
-
I was referring to the actual assist he got for Ayew and the one he lined up for Daka in the second half not that 1st Daka one tho I thought that one was as much about Daka not expecting a pass. Vardy would’ve made that an assist too.
-
He should’ve got two assists but Daka completely missed his kick. Certainly not the biggest problem in the squad.

Criminal defending for Gakpo’s game changing goal - hanging a leg and allowing him to come back on his right foot. Gakpo was only ever going to come back inside. His performance in the rest of the game was irrelevant after such lazy bit of defending.

Liverpool 3-1 LCFC, post match thread
funkyrobot replied to Phil Mitchell's topic in Leicester City Forum
We didn’t press at 3-1 with 10 minutes left, we happily took a 3-1 as if a 0 points and a further -2 to our goal difference was somehow useful to our season. 🤷🏻♂️ -
Came on for Winks and hid from the ball most of the time we had possession, the very opposite of what Winks does. Took up positions that meant he couldn’t be used as an outlet and when he did occasionally get a touch it was invariably a wall pass backwards or sideways to a man under more pressure. Just doesn’t ever take a ball on the half turn.
-
He’s not been poor but even a poor Winks is absolutely miles ahead of Skipp.

Ayew flying down the wing then 😬

Tried to enter the match predictor competition on the official LCFC app to predict the score against Liverpool only to find you can’t go above 9 goals scored by a team. I wanted to go with 10-0 to the scousers but I had to settle for 9. If RVN is sticking with Wardinho then the app needs updating.

There were no good saves. The one Ward saves was a regulation save that would’ve been easy for a Sunday League Goalkeeper

Ruud van Nistelrooy - New Manager - Official
funkyrobot replied to moore_94's topic in Leicester City Forum
In the first two games, RVN made key tactical changes with early subs and formation changes that earned us 4 points. Cooper just went for a like for like late substitutes to try and effect a game. The last two games have been ruined early by awful defending and a catastrophic goalkeeper. RVN though can rightly be criticised for the selection of Ward, JJ and Ayew as a winger ahead of anyone but specifically ahead of Buonanotte. The club were right to get rid of Cooper, RVN needs a transfer window to assess his ability. -
For me he’s our best footballing centre half, as slow as coady & less vocal but a better player. I was surprised that he was subbed but then when we heard from RVN that he pulled a sicky at half time and that explained it. I do wonder whether he would’ve felt unable to continue if we weren’t getting smashed and he didn’t have Ward behind him but I guess we’ll never know. Wouldn’t be surprised tho if his illness also takes him out of the Liverpool game too 🤔. Tbh I’m pretty sick of all of our defence and I guess the one thing we can look forward to next season in The Championship is seeing Ben Nelson get a season for us before he is poached by a Premier League giant like Brentford.

Skipp playing as the deepest midfielder today rather than Winks for the 1st half pretty much killed Vestergaard’s out ball. He can’t play on the half turn. £25m. Wow.

He could’ve played Iversen. Iversen is a better keeper than Ward. Ruud chose to play Ward. It’s a mistake by our new manager. He had a choice. -

Stolarcyck is unproven at premier league level and yet Ward has proved he’s not premier league level. So what would you prefer? If he was fit to take a full part in the warm up, after playing 90mins in the week he could’ve played. A not fully fit Stolarcyck is better than a fully fit Ward. We all knew when we saw the team that with Ward in goal we were likely to lose. Ruud surely didn’t do enough research to know this otherwise he would’ve selected Iversen or a not fully fit Stolarcyck to give us a chance. -

Stolarcyck played a full 90mins in the u21’s. He was diving around all over the shop throughout the warm up today. I hope you’re right that he is going to be ahead of Ward but there’s no proof that it will happen. That’s just an assumption. As for Iversen, he featured today, he was on the bench. He didn’t feature last season because he accepted a loan, Ward turned a similar opportunity down to leave. The suspicion is that Iversen is behind Ward because he’s not great with his feet - I’d prefer him ahead of Ward despite this because he’s visibly a much better shot stopper than Ward. -

Obviously not Mads who is injured. I know he picked Ward in front of Stolarcyck as that’s exactly what he did. Stolarcyck was fully involved in the warm up today but didn’t even get on the bench. Picking Ward ahead of Iversen is also a mistake. The vast majority of LCFC fans would say within this group of goalies, Ward should be 4th choice at best. Unfortunately Cooper and now RVN haven’t researched the club enough to come to this very obvious conclusion. -

Play Ward at Anfield and we could be looking at the 9-0 record being broken. -

It should be quite simple for Ruud and his Assistant Manager/Goaly Coach. If they play Ward and the opposition have shots on target then this team will lose. There’s a very simple solution to this that apparently they can’t quite grasp.
