cc_star Posted 15 October 2016 Posted 15 October 2016 Is there a point this season where fan's credit to title winning players & manager, the legends, runs out? I'm of the opinion, they're legends but that belongs to the history books and it's time for them to sh1t or get off the pot People say teams have sussed us, nonsense. There is no need to press high, we should just get back to basics let them have the ball but keep our shape and make sure we counter with speed. The Ranieri we've seen this season is what I expected when he arrived I would openly question the player's efforts this season and wonder if their woeful league performances are being hindered by £100k/wk weighing them down. The players spend too much time with their head in their hands & looking at each other and almost zero time chasing lost causes that turned defeats into draws and draws into wins Legends one and all. Will never forget, but now it's time to sh1t or get off the pot - will their credit with you ever run out?
Deucalion Posted 15 October 2016 Posted 15 October 2016 Defending champions sound pretty embarrassing at the minute. Each and every player and member of backroom staff is a legend for what they achieved last year. But...that was last year and this year we are not performing. We need to stop thinking about being champions and start thinking about staying up this year.
GaelicFox Posted 15 October 2016 Posted 15 October 2016 I suggested 10th place , last 16 in CL and a cup run would constitute a fantastic follow up season , and I was slaughtered they wouldn't be slaughtering me now ! They would be snapping my hand off !
adejo92 Posted 15 October 2016 Posted 15 October 2016 Will always be legends for it yes however we cant continue to thrive off a won season wonder. This season they have been sh!t and there is no covering that fact!

Yep, but it seems such a shame that we haven't capitalised better on the position we were in -------------- Something seems off with the player's and management's attitude, if a manager accepts poor performances, you get more poor performances The 'never say die' we put in Vs Porto in the 2nd half and all of last season, hasn't been translated to the league this season. The excusing of this by Ranieri is a self-fulfilling circle, unless it stops - players always have an excuse not to chase lost causes

bovril Posted 16 October 2016 Posted 16 October 2016 It's not really 'credit', it's trust and belief. Teams go through poor spells, we have done a few times in the last few seasons. I trust they'll improve, I believe in the manager to improve things. He won the league with Leicester City, it would suggest he is capable of getting over some poor away form.
SheppyFox Posted 16 October 2016 Posted 16 October 2016 I'm giving them until Christmas before deciding whether or not to start supporting Man Utd. On a serious note in my opinion football is a profession now, you're as good as your form and if you can't do the job you should be replaced, like anyone else in any other job in the real world.
Bayfox Posted 16 October 2016 Posted 16 October 2016 For me they have a lot of credit in the bank from last season. But these terrible away performances that may lead to more broken records. If we lose our 5th away at spurs that's worse than Blackburn. We do love a record are eroding a lot ot the credit. And whilst I can't understand why claudio is not changing things away from home. I think the players need a long hard look at themselves. As I've said before. I never expected a repeat. But we missed a golden chance to keep ourselves around the top 6 for a number of years. We ****ed up pre season on and off the pitch and our champions status will mean nothing in Jan if we are 15th.

The Liverpool ones have all ready gone back !
Matt Posted 16 October 2016 Posted 16 October 2016 I said it in the post match thread yesterday, I thank them for last season for the success and enjoyment, something we could never have dreamt of and thought we'd never see, however it doesn't excuse them for their poor, poor starts to this season. I made the comment Roy Keane was once quoted as saying something along the lines of 'You don't thank your postman for doing his job do you?!' As has been mentioned, whilst it can never be took away, defending champions is abit cringeworthy at the moment.

I refused to sing that at United and Chelsea our form doesn't warrant us singing "champions of England" when our form picks up maybe we should give it a blast but right now it's not cool
sdb Posted 16 October 2016 Posted 16 October 2016 Depends on the application and effort of the side. We've now witnessed 4 truly gutless performances. Losing games is fine but making no effort to compete is galling. Didn't expect much at all this season but didn't think we'd throw in the towel in the majority of games.
ScouseFox Posted 16 October 2016 Posted 16 October 2016 it lasts forever. what a bizarre mentality some of our fans have developed. we. won. the. league. we. support. leicester. city. every season in the premier league we are meant to be pretty rubbish, last season was the anomoly and we won the fu cking thing. some people seem to think that last season should be the norm and now every time we lose a game it's not acceptable. we lost to chelsea, away?! we're meant to lose to chelsea away. the sooner people just accept last season was insane but never going to last the better.

If your Postmen , had had our history, and the One who actually makes it to the door with a delivery, That one and his co-workers will get remembered and will have long term credit.Plus invites to the party... Ranieri has longer than 8 games credit. Ranieri has this season to be trusted to develope and build the club into a longterm successfull PL era. If its slow progress,and takes 2-5 years. Thats his credit he deserves. If he fails miserably and cant keep us out of Relegation, or survives but next season 1st 10 games Sees us in the last 6-8 places, his credit doesnt hold up. If he holds top 12 for 2 seasons he stays and adds credits. If we reach top 12 for 2 seasons by playing survival football he loses credits. If this season we fight only against relegation and fails...no credits. We survive after fighting relegation, this season...in the lap of the Gods. Its far Too early this moment to even Consider a failing Leicester season. But you asked, I am clever, so I layed down my "ifs" Players:- *Depends on age..the younger players like Mahrez, Musa have this and next season. Any player showing above avg form have like all players in other clubs earnt credit, If better quality players come in then all players take their chances like anywhere else. This Whole set of players in our squad Squad legends or not, have credit until the next Transfer window...Its simple Its the nature of the beast . If we can get top form from a few of our legends, lets see how this season really pans out. I would hate to see for example, to see Morgan keep getting picked, because of last season, and go out on a sour note. Drop him soon , to give him and others a rest, which could give him a new short period of success with u s again. He like a couple more have lost Something, he more than the others has played 3-4 seasons including summers. Forget Palace and Spurs, for him.A game fitter mentality even from Benny or Wasi, Is better than a mojo-less tired Morgan..2nd week in November would be rest enough, then come back against games we need to win revitalised. With that in mind, why not also for Vardy, Albrighton, Fuchs, and even a couple of game days without Mahrez not even on the Bench. Its not just about credits, but should some be forced now to take a timeout to re-asses ,think.and mental stress.

You think every player was giving 100% at Anfield, OT and Stamford Bridge this season?? It isn't last season. Yes, I do think our players were putting 100% effort in. It doesn't matter how hard they try, they will never reach last season's heights again. We are just that much worse than those sides this season. Like we have been for almost every season of our history. Normal business has resumed, as it was always going to. I've seen people in here suggesting that we are missing out on a historic opportunity to cement ourselves in the top six. It's nonsense. People need to recalibrate their expectations. We won the league in part because every big club in the country underperformed massively. That was never happening again.
Claridge Posted 17 October 2016 Posted 17 October 2016 We took 2 points from Liverpool, manure,Chelsea away last season and 3 points from shampton and Arsenal at home.so we are a devasting 4 points off our greatest ever season total.time for the complete wankers on here who think the end is nigh to grow up. Anybody who has supported the club for over 20 yrs will realise what an amazing period we are living through.
Jakemoore Posted 17 October 2016 Posted 17 October 2016 If I was Claudio, I would show the lads the video of them at Vardys house last season when it was confirmed that we had won the league. And then following that, I'd show them a video of what Leicester the city looked like that night. They have obviously forgotten what passion looked like. We haven't even tried this season. I get that you can't always play like champions but right now they're not even trying.
