You can’t sack a manager with 4 games to go but if we don’t go up, he’ll be on shaky ground for next season. There’s also the problem of compensation and PSR…

Those two words sum up Wout Faes. A player with great technique for a centre half but a massive overconfidence that makes him prone to mistakes like the one that undoubtedly cost us the goal.

I would’ve thought my opinion on Patson Daka was quite clear from my comment. No. Presumably you do then?

Enzo’s gut feeling was to keep Daka out of the Leicester squad for the first part of the season, selecting two goalies instead of him on the bench. For some reason he overtook Cannon and even Vardy for selection. He’s missed two absolute sitters tonight. He’s missed absolute sitters throughout 2024. He’ll cost us promotion regardless of our gutless defending. Enzo’s blind faith in Patson is spectacularly backfiring for the player, the club and the manager himself.

How many gentle lobs do we put into the box to presumably ‘the ghost of Ulloa?’

Let’s hope the Zambian 50p experiment has ended (fittingly with that shank) for the season.

Forgot to add the 50p boots and head striker missing his umpteenth sitter.

Lazy, lazy defending for their goal. Really basic stuff that would get you a bollocking on a Sunday league pitch. Should be hooked and dropped for that error alone. If he stays on he needs a big half to make amends.

Same old story, absolutely dominated the game but not taking enough shots, trying to walk the ball through a crowded defence. Opponents score with first shot for the umpteenth time when one of our defenders doesn’t feel it necessary for the umpteenth time to close down his man. Corners are outrageously poor.

There are moments when Enzoball has been sublime. They are when our confidence is up and we play the game with pace and movement. The problem has been a reluctance to try any plan B in terms of tactics and players as teams have got wise to us and strengthened their teams in January. Enzo’s style needs a squad of outstanding footballers whereas we have a select few great players and a majority who are being asked to do something that realistically they aren’t quite able to do. None of our strikers have the skillset to both be a lone striker AND play some complex football deeper and under pressure, one of our number 8’s is actually a CDM destroyer, our left back is either a centre back or a right back who hates his left foot, our inverted right fullback is either a wingback or a back up DM. Our 1st choice wingers are with us because they haven’t shown the consistency needed at the highest level to back up their technique. We’ve become increasingly reliant on an hot headed impetuous central defender. Our bench is full of players even less suitable for Enzoball. I guess Enzo was expecting a January window to correct many of these compromises but that soon became only 1 player and then that disastrously went to -1 players when PSR stopped the Sensi deal and Chelsea shithoused the Butch Casadei loan. It’s been a painful decline since this disappointment. Enzo’s game needs a squad of outstanding specifically skilled talent like at Man City and because of past transfer mistakes and a clampdown on PSR Enzo hasn’t been able to build this.

He’s deluded if he thinks his Leicester spell is going to earn him a move. He might as well stay in his property until his contract runs out in 2026 👀🥺, then downsize when his wages fall off a cliff.

Iheanacho’s was on target at least. KDH’s disgusted reaction to Daka’s 50p header tells you exactly what he was thinking. It must be so frustrating playing at that level alongside a striker like Daka. Very rarely, he can actually finish well but the vast majority of the time he plays, he looks like a celebrity in one of those charity matches playing alongside professional footballers.

He showed promise against Bournemouth including dribbling past his fullback a few times. It would allow Mavididi to be rested during a game like last night when he was having an absolute nightmare.

He isn’t, his positional sense isn’t great. He doesn’t get many chances and those he does invariably go off at acute angles due to his 50p head and feet.

Mavididi was poor but it didn’t help that his usual partner on the left KDH was replaced by the far less creative Ndid who also looked absolutely knackered for most of the game.

Err ok. He’s decent, but in the same sense that ‘Kermo was decent.’ (apologies for ancient foxestalk banter)

It’s ok to counter attack in the prem against teams who are better footballers and who will dominate possession. Dropping down the league with our squad, It would be quite difficult for us to not dominate possession in The Championship because we are a big club in this league and so the majority of teams sit deep and want us to have the ball. You can only counter attack if the other team is coming forward. Our problem is what we do in possession. We are too slow, too predictable, not incisive enough, don’t take enough shots at goal and miss absolute sitters. On top of that we take unbelievable risks defensively and don’t close down quick enough around the edge of our box!

Fox 85 agrees with you that in the worst kind of fan😢. Are you two related? 😂 I’m the worst kind of fan for not calling for the sacking of a manager (irrespective of what I think of him) when we are top of the league with 5 games to go. The worst kind of fan for not wanting Cooper, sacked by Notts Forest, to take over the reigns with 5 games to go. Wow 😂😂 Btw, regarding last season, I was saying we were likely to get relegated from the minute that Rodgers informed us that Danny Ward was his number one. So you got that bet wrong too.

That’s exactly what we do.

I’m not happy clapping, I’m just taking the mickey out of you for actually calling for the manager to be sacked when we are top of the league with 5 matches left. Tbf if your plea is listened to by the club, maybe Super Cooper could get ‘Shorts’ Cattermole to be his Assistant Manager 🥰

Last season was way way worse.

The only way the club will cheer you up and bring you back into the fold is to finally sign Lee Cattermole

Remarkable close range header at the end by the legendary Zambian human 50p

Ndidi on the left and KDH on the right is just shit isn’t it?

Awful game, crap windy conditions, terrible ref, amateurish sky coverage, bad camerawork, bad sound, poor commentary. Don’t know why KDH and Ndidi have switched sides. Ndidi is playing like last season. We look lethargic and short of ideas going forward and vulnerable on the break. We are making Obafemi look way better than he is. Need to do much better
