I’m past anger, I just laughed when those three goals went in. Same old, same old. This club makes me feel nothing.

Getting linked to players based in Scandinavia. In terms of striker talents in Denmark, I’d rank him 2nd right now behind Kvistgaarden.

All the crap she already gets, now she’s got to deal with shit like this

3rd title of the season for Selby, don’t think he was at his complete best this week, but plenty of encouraging signs with The Crucible on the horizon.
-
We need to capitalise on some Danish talent again like we did with Hermansen

You should know by now mate what to expect from the Welsh Open, the last four winners have been Jordan Brown, Joe Perry, Rob Milkins and Gary Wilson

Ruud van Nistelrooy - New Manager - Official
kingfox replied to moore_94's topic in Leicester City Forum
Still not willing to jump on the out brigade because elements of the squad he’s inherited just fvcking suck. But in terms of formation and tactics it’s been very one dimensional so far. While persisting with Ayew and Reid as our first choice wingers is madness. If we go down, I wouldn’t particularly want him as manager for the Championship, but knowing our board, they’ll probably turn to Russell Martin instead -

I’ll concentrate on a positive today… Woyo Coulibaly 13/14 successful passes 3 tackles(2nd most of Leicester players) 3/4 duels won 3/4 ground duels won Thought his 1 vs 1 defending especially was very decent.- 207 replies

Coulibaly’s 1 vs 1 defending has been superb.

No way he wrote that, he is far too busy playing Polo with the likes of L’Oréal, Garnier and Head & Shoulders.
-
Will no doubt jinx him, but Joe O’Connor has looked very good this week, excellent display of scoring in his last two matches.
-
Few promising talents have passed through Nurnberg recently tbf. Can Uzun, Stefanos Tzimas and Finn Jeltsch all making the step up to top five leagues. Jander could be the next one if his form continues. 🤷♂️

Selby, Ford and O’Connor all through to the R16 at the Welsh

Leicester recruitment team should’ve listened to @Ric Flair Tanaka cost Leeds about £3 million, we paid £20+ for Oli Skipp -
Starting early. Potential Ndidi alternative/replacement. Caspar Jander - Nurnberg. Currently averaging the most tackles per90 in Bundesliga 2.

His subs have pissed me off plenty of times this season, but when it came to last night, I wasn’t surprised he made the subs that he did. Maybe Justin for Coulibaly instead, but Ndidi was always going to come off early. Whether it was Winks, Skipp or both coming on, losing Ndidi’s defensive nous was always going to hinder us, because we have nobody else who can do what he does. Yet again that comes back to recruitment and having an imbalanced squad. You can say Winks and Skipp are similar to each other, but nobody is similar to Ndidi. Soumare has shown improvements, but defensively he is still capable of bad habits. The key for me is Ndidi from now till the end of the season. We have seen under Ruud albeit minimal, how crucial he is to this team. It’s going to be an extremely difficult task to stay in the division, but Ndidi being fit and showing good form hopefully sees the team improve as a whole. And as I’ve just said to Micky, that’s down to recruitment and squad imbalance. We have no proper alternative to Wilf, when he is out injured or he goes off like he did last night, the only alternatives we have is Winks or Skipp, two players who just don’t have the defensive nous that Wilf does. Ruud just doesn’t have the right options to “cover the weaknesses”. Ndidi was always going to come off early last night, but what was Ruud supposed to do. As I’ve also said above, whether it was Winks, Skipp or both coming on, taking Ndidi out was always going to hinder us. What this squad is missing is another ball winning midfielder, that’s been evident ever since Ndidi got injured, we didn’t rectify it in January now Ruud is left with imbalanced options. All fair points. I said on this thread last week that I wouldn’t mind seeing a formation change. Okoli has hardly covered himself in glory this season, look at that mixup against Everton for example, but after last night’s performance he deserves a run in the side. Hardly using Buonanotte is a bizarre one. He’s used Vardy far too often, but our alternative is Daka, that just sums up our poor squad depth. As for Skipp, I really don’t know what he is best at. In his loan spell at Norwich, he was basically used like how Maresca used Winks for us last season. -

He may not be the right man, but last night yet again proved how tied his hands are, because our squad depth is simply not good enough. You can moan about the substitutions all you want, in Ndidi’s case he was never going to play the full 90 last night, managing his minutes is going to be crucial, because we don’t want to run him into the ground and he gets injured again. Our alternatives to Ndidi though are Winks and Skipp, that’s not RVN’s fault, that’s on recruitment for not signing an adequate replacement for Ndidi. Regardless who starts out of Mavididi, Ayew, Reid and McAteer, more often than not, two of them will be coming on anyway, not an ideal situation. Yet again that’s not Ruud’s fault, that’s on Cooper for wanting the likes of Ayew and Reid in the first place. Ruud has had his faults, but if we end up getting relegated, our lack of squad depth will play a huge part in it. -
As much as the linesman robbed us, our lack of squad depth cost us tonight, as soon as Wilf went off the game completely changed, not having an alternative to him will keep on costing us for the rest of the season.

He once blew a load in Natalie Sawyer and got her pregnant, one of life’s biggest mysteries tbf.

Where’s VAR when you need it

Start Okoli every week after that.
-
Give Bobby Reid a new contract.

As usual depressing, but at least it isn’t a Faes/Vestergaard combo.

That front three makes me wanna cry.
