What proportion of the last eight years have we been entertaining to watch? I'd say a quarter maximum and the one constant is insipid, casual losses like last night. We're appalling at coming back to win games and it's because of our insistence on playing slowly. The more time goes on the more I think they're almost ashamed by the style which we won the league in 2016.

A lot of the whole "tough place to go" is self-fulfilling and its our own doing. I know somebody who goes and watches them (doesn't support them but lives locally) and says they're rubbish, fans were turning on Harris already, they were fully ready to lose their heads yesterday providing we got at them early and made them pay. But it was literally everything you feared it could be. We could not have played it more into their hands if we tried. It was the textbook example in how not to play at Millwall as a favourite. They were so vulnerable yet we create a situation where we make it tougher and tougher for ourselves. Before last night they had beaten just one of the top ten at home this season. They've just come off defeats to Huddersfield and Rotherham - the latter being one of the worst sides ever seen at this level. To treat it as anything utter than an absolute catastrophe of a result would be to allow further drop in standards which is all that seems to happen at this club these days. How much further are we actually going to fall and how quickly are we going to get there?

Is this the most stressful season as a Leicester fan ?
Dan replied to marcymarc666's topic in Leicester City Forum
Last season infuriated me more than this. This is very much becoming a continuation of it though. -
13 wins from 14 and still on course to break the points record from mid February and you always felt the performances had other gears to go up. In truth though it's just not the case, he's ended up underperforming. 5 losses in 10 is a disgrace with this squad at this level.
-
Main reason I want a change of ownership. It's not a coincidence. This is what they want us to play like. It's all 'image' to them.
-
More than Luton last season with five games to spare. Three times as many as Burnley. I bet we're not done yet.
-
Another reason we need the delusional ****wits out of here.
-
Interesting how many I'm reading on here that aren't usually that critical that have had enough. That's usually a pretty telling sign. Just cross our fingers we fluke our way over the line and then look elsewhere in the summer.

Another disgrace like Bristol City. Abject from start to finish against an extremely limited side. The very worst of Enzoball - so many times this season we have created a contest where there needn't be one. Ipswich and Leeds went for the throat at Millwall early doors and came away with 0-4 and 0-3 wins. We did exactly what we do most times we play against this sort of side - gradually let them grow in confidence and belief that they can take something and eventually they do. Maresca is unfortunately another part of the problem when it comes to the overall complacency and arrogance that plagues the club. We're very overrated by neutrals. I wonder what percentage of fans thought better of us having played against us than the other way around. I'd wager a substantial amount think the latter - surprise that we're nowhere near expected. We've failed the eye test a lot of the season. You couldn't knock the results but the performances have been pretty insipid and the longer the season goes on the more it looks like we just think things will mend themselves. It's like Maresca's downloaded a tactic on FM and stuck it on holiday mode for 9 months. Just mix it up a bit, be a bit inventive, come up with a few other ideas - keep these vastly inferior sides guessing! This isn't a side that looks like it should be promoted. We're the same old dog shit from the last few years. It is remarkable how quickly we've fallen to this utter shit.

I think the real underlying issue is that even if we do get promoted, which frankly the fact that's an if is an absolute joke in itself for me, but if we do see it through we've seen enough of the limitations and enough of the one-dimension to know that we'd get absolutely bummed in the Premier League. My gripe's less that he has a way he wants to play it's that its as wedded to just playing one formation at any cost, in any situation, with any personnel and there is no changing it. An assumption that 'the system' will trump all. The longer time has gone on the more it looks to me we're doing it in spite of the system rather than because of it. Good luck when that individual quality is inferior in 80% of games next season, "if" we get promoted. I'd be far more willing to forgive his shortcomings if I saw him looking for solutions but he just assumes he's cracked it and the others will trip themselves up. It's brutal. It's like being on the titanic, you know an absolute shitstorm is inevitable.
-
It's quite incredible that after winning 13 of our first 14 games and being on course to break the points record as recently as mid February that I'd argue he's probably been a net negative. It was dull but efficient early on. Now it's just dull and largely shit.
-
He's the best of our strikers for getting into the positions but his finishing is just laughable at this point. I'd expect pretty much anyone in our squad, goalkeepers included to finish better than this. What has happened to that bloke in Russia? Did that game really take place?
-
You wonder how many regret their cowardice. I think opposition fans' perception of us is absolutely miles above what the reality is. This has been the case for ages as well. I preferred it when we were underrated. Suited us more.
-
Long suspected it but not for me. Fingers crossed Leeds trip themselves up enough for us to get over the line but I'm not one bit enamoured by it. I think a lot of the criticisms have been fair.
-
Another absolutely textbook shower of shit performance from us.
-
Yeah my plan was fivers until £500 profit, tenners until £1,000 profit then twenties - obvs dropping back down if I lost a few. I think you doing a few other accas probably helps you. My Sky account was actually in a bit of profit beforehand so may be why I got done. On this account I suppose the fact I've lost every one so far might be a good thing in the long run
-
Update: Exactly as feared. Porto lost and now the Guimaraes freeze is about to fall too. It's not even a case of it being a bit harder to land the other four teams - it's substantially, undoubtedly far harder.
-
How on earth have you managed to avoid it? You must be in profit overall now.
-
Infuriating weekend here. I've landed loads of freezes but bust it with the acca fillers pretty much every time. I had Heidenheim, Palace and Clermont yesterday and all won. Porto about to bust the last of the three which is infuriating, but I did cover it by doing another with Guimaraes. A Porto win from here would be perfect. Not feeling too lucky here though.
-
I don't disagree. I still think there's next to no chance the fans turn on the ownership though. Even in a situation in say October, 0-3 down to Bournemouth and still on minus points. Maresca would get a barrel, I doubt there'd be a word about King Power.
-
I know with it being Vichai's birthday fixture it was never likely to be hostile but that in itself kinda proves my point that this fanbase just simply won't ever turn on this ownership. They're treated as a collective.
-
This is the argument anyone anti VAR should've been making all along. That's the kind of moment they've successfully robbed from you in the top level. An assault on the supporters is what it is.
-
It's exactly the sort of fixture we'd make a pigs ear of.
-
There's a genuine possibility they send us up in that Ipswich game. I obviously want to witness us get promoted but I think I'd sacrifice it for that. Would be even better if it was a draw that both promoted us and basically killed their season
