Can't believe this if I'm honest. Genuinely thought we'd do ok today. We really need to find a way of starting to pick up our league form, alongside our progression in Europe. League needs to be a priority at the moment. It's frustrating because we've a squad which is capable (in my view) of a top half/top tem finish. On our day we are not relegation candidates. That 'on our day' isn't often enough in the league campaign.

Why would you assume Ranieri isnt upset with the players? Because he can act like a gent in the media? I bet after some games theyve had a rocket. We have English staff in the dressing room too.

 

Maybe you should stop analysing every little bit of body language and everything someone says so closely.

I really don't want this to turn into a tit for tat arguement, we've had too many of those regarding Pearson on here.

 

But your last comment is abit ironic isn't it? Didn't people like you analyse Pearson for what he did? Despite people saying he was a nice bloke behind the scenes?

 

(Contradicting myself there i'll hold my hands up - I said we need abit of grit and nastyness in a previous post, not i've said he's been reported to be a nice bloke behind closed doors, but I'd imagine it was balanced and why he was so respected by that players)

This is getting seriously worrying. Another game when their keeper is barely tested because our final-third decision-making and execution are both hopeless. Another game in which we gift wrap our opponents the lead (Drinkwater again). Another game in which Ranieri picks the dreadful Albrighton and Okazaki and is forced to take them off because they offer NOTHING. And how much did we pay for that donkey, Musa??!

 

4-4-2 with Amartey in the middle away from home? Claudio, what were you thinking??

 

We have to get at least a point v Bruges and then best Boro, otherwise we're in a full blown crisis. Only two dominant performances and two wins, though, can really offset the dismal last two results/performances.

I think you're completely brain dead if 45 matches Into Okazaki's Leicester career you still don't know what he offers. He did fine today, better than a lot of the others.

I think the fans deserve a bit of honesty at this point as well though. I don't think the players are giving it their all and we want to be told they don't think it's good enough.

 

Not all Claudio's fault by any means but these players need a public kick up the arse as a wake up call. They need to know it's embarrassing and that we're not ok with half hearted performances. I want to know the staff feel the same way, especially if I'd travelled to all these away games this season.

Claudio is doing the unbelievable , made champions from chumps and now making chumps from champions ....

 

Disagree with the first quote, hardly chumps when CR took over, we avoided relegation with an incredible run and then without tinkering much won the league. Agree with the second quote.

If it was the latter then that would make for a very awkward 57 remaining minutes of therapy.

They got Pereyra for less than we got Musa haha

He's a great player, Not entirely sure what our scouts saw in Musa at the minute but hope to be proven wrong.

Maybe I'm being a tad harsh (as are you with that clinical assessment of my mental health) but he consistently struggles to retain possession under pressure without falling over and breaks up too many of our attacks with his sloppiness. It frustrates the hell out of me. Every once in a while he has a notably positive impact on a game, but those are sadly few and far between.

In Premier League terms we were chumps.

 

Its like saying any team thats put together a run of 7 good games are Premier League contenders. And thats rubbish.

 

To think winning the Premier League was a natural progression from a short run of games to avoid relegation is quite silly.

We avoided relegation ... avoided relegation , with a team of cast offs , it's a fairly harsh but not without merit observation

Pace pretty much, I guess they thought teams would make the same mistakes as last season and let us in behind constantly. Backfired a bit.

That's true, Struggling to see why we didn't have Leo on the bench today.
