im losing faith in levein

[Durnerz]

I think that should start with dropping De Vries to the bench. Hes done sod all to earn his place in the first team. He misses sitters regularly. I saw his two goals against sheffield wednesday the other week and even a sodding defender would have had no problem sticking those away. I still feel we really need to try and find a striker. Someone who can create something out of nothing.

Its not about one player,we could buy Ronaldinho now and still be shit, we have to play as a team and Leveins not allowing us to do that by chopping and changing the team week in week out and playing our prize assets out of position (Hughes, Johansson etc) plus the club are being twats with the shit music and the absolute embarassment of that PHG we came out to, did they connect the speakers to "Classic FM's worst tragedies" for a minute? The support was toss as usual, makes me wonder why I still wear this clubs colours, utter embarassment.

FFS, you should never think that, no matter how bad we are.

[Ricey]

He made a number of mistakes today:

- Playing Nissa at left back, he was awful

- Playing Kisnorbo ahead of Williams, he was awful

- Subbing Hume ahead of the awful pair of Sylla and de Vries

He has to seriously consider things because I'm starting to doubt him.

[filbertway]

I'm glad i am paying £3 to watch coalville and not £17 to watch leicester, levein has bought in some good and talented players , if his tactics were as good as he is in the market we would be great.

Come on leicester, we need hume and hammond up front, drop de vries, akinbiyi would have put more of his chances away.

[SIRFOOT]

what a **** joke this manager is. He has done nothing for this club, the league table never lies. Comes from shitty scotland and we were all up his arse from day 1, and some of you still are. Can any LCFC honestly tell me that they have been happy with the results we have got in his time here? he is complete crap, no wonder people laughed at the players we were signing, we get 20,000 for a home game, which is his fault because we are shockingly bad. he was a defender as a player, so why is our defence so awful conceding so many goals? he ignores the fact that we need to score lots of goals!

It is your opinion of course but you are wrong about him not doing a thing for the club.

Not text talk please mate, sorry but it annoys people.

[Guest Gist]

i think he bought in some quality players but doesnt no how to handle em ( bring out the bet of them) he changes things that dont need changing like hume today why not take de vries off dont want to sound negative but i cant see us gaining promotion with this man unles he does prove me wrong

[Durnerz]

FFS, you should never think that, no matter how bad we are.

So you think Levein and his merry men wiping their arses with my hard earned season ticket cash is good do you? I may as well attend a morgue every saturday, its just like what our "support" is right now, agreed the club piss on us by playing shit music to drown us out thats why I think the club as a whole is a joke. Never before have I considered turning my back on this club but after the last 2 years its seemed pointless. Its not disloyalty, its sense, you buy something from a shop, it breaks, you take it back, you get your money back and you probably buy the same thing again,agreed? Its like that with my season ticket, I pay, I watch, I get **** all in return.

It's up to you if you don't want to go down to the matches, that's your choice, but you'd be as bad as a glory supporter if you totally turned your back on LCFC.

Coalville town fc £5 for adults alot more entertaining, and you can listen to the leicsster match whilst your there, and you can turn it off if its bad. Real football, players playing with passion, and some great entertainment

Leicester fans are near enough all glory supporters, cheer and turn up in number when we're doing well, stay quiet and do nothing if we dont. I don't see how i'd be any different if I turned my back on all this.

I agree with you there I wouldn't blame you for not going anymore, I just thought you meant you would stop supporting Leicester altogether.

Well, I hope he does (prove you wrong)

[Northants Fox]

So do i, so do i

[Anish]

I think he needs to buck things up on the filed sooner rather than later. I think he has actually done wonders for the club. Hes stabilised us no end and bought the age down etc etc. But I just cant see how we are going to become a successful club under him.. I can't even see how we are going to get promotion under him. I know success is built year on year but we are still seeing the same short comings week after week and he has been here how long exactly? I don't envy the fella thats for sure. You can bet when he leaves he'll go and make a proper success out of some other english lower league club like Preston. =/

I agree with you to an extent.

He has done many good things for this club - shipping out the deadwood, getting transfer fees for the likes of Jordan Stewart and Matt Heath while bringing in players like Hughes, Maybury etc on minimal fees. On paper we have a fairly strong squad.

However, I am beginning to feel that his tactics and coaching are bringing/keeping us down. He is too obssessed with his zonal marking bullsh*t and 11 men in our own penalty area - which is nonsense.

I genuinely am questioning whether Levein can take us forward. He's far too negative imo and we seem to be making the same mistakes week in week out.

[Thracian]

Come on leicester, we need hume and hammond up front, drop de vries, akinbiyi would have put more of his chances away.

I really think 4-3-3 is the way forward with this lot. I explained in selecting a team to fit this system before the match that Hume is NOT a natural centre-forward and neither, really is Hammond, though he might become one or MDV though he might have been one in his Scotland days (he's just not sharp enough in England).

We are therefore lightweight up front. Someone has to retain/flick on the high balls and MDV isn't bad at that and would perhaps be better if he had two other front men around him in Hammond (principal) and Hume (supporting).

I tried to imagine this today and there were several early breaks instigated by Hume and MDV which might have resulted in a goal were Hammond also around.

If Hume gets a flick on MDV is not likely to react fast enough to take advantage and if MDV flicks on to Hume then, as the only runner he's likely to be marked.

But, the 4-3-3 must be played with naturally attacking full-backs Stearman/Maybury and Sheehan. Hughes, Joey and Williams would fill the midfield.

Play that side enough to get an understanding and it will probably utilise the players we have better than any other. It would also be well capable of retaining the ball and be perfectly adequate for home or away matches..

I would have Wilcox or even Levi Porter as the winger substitute (because both retain and cross the ball better than Sylla), I would revert to Dublin and Nils in central defence cos they work best together and make fewest mistakes, I would use Kisnorbo as the midfield/utitlity substitute and hope that Gerrbrand suits as a defensive option.

Sylla, McCarthy, Tiatto, or Hammill would fill the remaining bench seat (according to taste) but I don't see a future for any of em to be honest at first team level.

Meanwhile Levein needs a big natural striker (as we all told him in the close season) a creative, goalscoring midfield player (as was mentioned in the close season) a tall, reasonably mobile and inspirational centre-back and a genuinely capable young winger as soon as possible.

Any other system to 4-3-3 means us playing with too many weak links and not having sufficient cohesion or goal threat.

The question is: will Levein take a blind bit of notice or will he persist with his endless tinkering and his endlessly inexplicable choices.

He needs to listen cos sacking him is not the answer and is not really a practical option for the club.

[Wellman]

For the first time today, I questioned Levein. He took off Hume when he was the only one who was playing well, BUT when Elvis came on we looked more promising, and it nearly paid off.

[Bert]

I think we need to see Hammond up front with Hume, but tht'll never happen because CL is up MDV's arse somet rotten

[Hullfox]

I think today's performance to an extent has to be put into perspective.

Whilst I agree with the argument about playing people out of position, If maybury hadn't got himself dismissed, we don't know how it would have panned out.

We can all make an educated guess but I'm clinging on to the fact that it just might have been different.

Exactly.

[Suffolk_fox]

I still believe he neeeds more time. Even if he isn't The One, there is no one else at the moment so we may as well stick with him and see where we go. We are not going to get promoted this season (thank God!) so we should not expect to be near the top. Start thinking about sacking him if we start getting too close to the drop zone; that is the only time you will see me losing faith.
