Callabinho Posted 6 November 2016 Share Posted 6 November 2016 I think that we are in genuine trouble this season....and it frustrates the hell out of me with this stupid ****ing "what did you expect" bullshit.... I expected us to build on last year, with clever recruitment and a clear plan to retain our champions league spot, we had no better opportunity to do so... but instead our head of recruitment leaves, and we make substandard signings failing to replace the one truly important part of our team and for the main, not the sole but the main reason we won the league. It just seems funny how now Claudio appears to have a more hands on approach at the club things start to go Pete tong. You're not telling me that Walsh couldn't wait to leave the English champions? Something went on during the pre-season which made him leave, which in tern has had a significant effect on our activity on the transfer market throughout the summer in my opinion. We're going to have to limp through to January and hope we can pull off one or two sensational signing to even think about Europe again. Losing pace with the top six for me is a failure, we've really made a mess of things so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam Posted 6 November 2016 Share Posted 6 November 2016 Pathetic all round. Especially by the manager. He needs to get a settled team and stick with it. Surely were capable of playing 2 games a week at this stage of the season. It's November not ****ing March. Bizarre substitution in taking Musa off. He finally looked quite dangerous and he hooked him off. Gray came on and we went back to the performance of the first half. Never known a player like Okazaki who gets subbed off at half time so much. He shouldn't be needed at home against a piss poor team. He was playing centre mid most the first half and Slim was so isolated. Depressing season so far. Time to start concentrating on the league Claudio.

adejo92 Posted 6 November 2016 Share Posted 6 November 2016 Certainly needs to be some signings in January however we are not quite as appealing as we were at the start of the season. Players who might have been interested at the start of the season will surly have lost interest now. Sinking ship springs to mind....or lead baloon...

J.Lisemore Posted 6 November 2016 Share Posted 6 November 2016 We don't need new signings, we need to revert to the same level we shown last season. Getting Mendy fit will effectively be a new signing, King obviously isn't what we need but he's all we've got for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly why im annoyed at the summer recruitment,we will never be in a better position to strengthen than this summer and we blew it,We may have edged out an Everton even a Man united if the player wants to play football,now we have little chance of competing in January.This is the annoying thing about football,no chance for the smaller clubs to become bigger anymore.

AKCJ Posted 6 November 2016 Share Posted 6 November 2016 1 hour ago, Fox92 said: Not strong enough. WBA bullied us and practically dominated midfield. King was atrocious and Drinkwater not much better although I feel for him with his mistake because he's been our best player this season. Like I've said all season, our style of play is shocking. We've got nothing that will link attack to midfield. We need an 'Ozil' type who can unlock a defence like WBA's. I have no idea who we could get to play that position but we also need a defensive midfielder to cover. In January i'd give United 20m for Schneiderlin. Edit; Bojan would suit us.

Mickyblueeyes Posted 6 November 2016 Share Posted 6 November 2016 Ranieri cant seem to catch a break this year. He's made some decisions that haven't come off. Last year they all did and it made him look good. That's luck sometimes. I questioned the Musa sub at that time when we looked our most dangerous. Gray came on, we conceded (which had nothing to do with the sub) and we went from tactical building to chasing the game. Add to that the vast majority of his team seem to be at six' and seven's. We are not firing on all cylinders at the moment and it's hard to take as we have had 18 months of everything working. When we did seem to click in the second half we looked good. That, hopefully will hold us it good stead for the remainder of the season. We do need to get as many points from the next few games as possible to take the pressure off the Christmas period.

Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 6 November 2016 Share Posted 6 November 2016 I missed this game as took the kids to fireworks instead. Sadly recent performances came home to roost today - even if it was at fortress King Power. Our tactics and energy need a massive overhaul as if they don't improve significantly we are in for a troublesome season indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammo Posted 6 November 2016 Share Posted 6 November 2016 Why did we need the kick up the arse of conceding a goal before we finally showed an interest in attacking a team just above the relegation zone who were thrashed at home in their previous game? Baffling. Our first half performances have been shocking for the most part this season, and today's was the worst of all. Musa and King (the players in our two 'problem positions') were beyond dreadful in those opening 45 minutes, Musa in particular maintaining his horrible give-the-ball-away-at-every-opportunity form in Copenhagen. Bizarre that he wasn't hooked at half time - and that when he did get subbed, midway through the second half, he had finally made two decent contributions with his pace (which was presumably why he got that totally undeserved standing ovation!) Mahrez's skill was our lone saving grace today. That and Slimani's goal. The full backs were OK. The rest was horrible. We'd better not play like that v Bruges, or the whole season could implode.
