something cant be right in the dressing room

[Fox 4 Life]

Mahrez and Vardy seem completely out of sorts. They don't even look at each other anymore and there is zero link up play. Maybe related to slim? Who knows but it needs to get sorted 

[lcfcsnow]

Did Mahrez pass or attempt to pass to Vardy today? The issue there couldn't be more obvious, it'd help if they put it aside but as they both clearly feel they need to make the same point every match it would help if the manager stopped playing them together until it's sorted.

 

It's concerning though as this is very reminiscent of Chelsea last season and as soon as Mourinho got the boot the players appeared to switch on, has he lost the dresssing room or are we just poor?

We're gonna come good.

maybe the new players have upset the apple cart, vardy and mahrez barley exchange a glance at times it seems as well....

 

This has been suggested by several posters, but I don't see it.  Ranieri has been sticking to last year's team as first choice whenever he can, except sometimes starting Slimani ahead of Shinji. This is a mistake tactically, but I don't see it affecting the mentality of the squad, especially as Shinji comes across as the"accepting" sort.

 

I agree that something has gone badly wrong with the team mentality, togetherness and work rate, but I don't see new  signings as being the reason.

Lets stop making comparisons to Chelsea last season, they were absolutely streets ahead of where we are now.

Vardy was kidnapped by the retard lookalike,

hence why his grown his hair and done away with the Keith lemon arm cast.

Plus the fake Vardy has stop liking mahrez posts on Twitter - this has led to him unfollowing him.

 

vardy lookalike knows he was unfollowed so doesn't speak to mahrez anymore and will only talk through gray.

"Demarai tell him to pass the salt and pepper"

was quoted at a lunch 3 weeks ago.

so when gray isn't on the field they don't talk

thus I give you the breakdown in communication we see on the field.

The attitude is a 100 percent turn around in body language from last year from what vie seen.

If I was Morgan I'd get in for some extra training on how to pass the ball

Basically this, its not the dressing room. Players have lost their desire and for a team like ours which depends on work ethic and desire, more so then other top teams, this is critical. Look at F1 and Rosberg. He retired because he had no motivation left. Thats why we need to put hungary player's like slim, gray & musa on and see what they can do. I'd even give kaputska a bench spot because these guys want to taste the success that the rest of the squad have had.

scrap the film. reckon we'll have enough drama and chaos to write our own tv soap.  Coronation  Filbert Street.

This all started pre season when someone decided to chase the money from that silly tournament. We had no proper pre season and have been trying to play catch up ever since.

The signing have been poor for the money paid and I just wonder if interference with Walsh was part of his reason for leaving. Something is clearly wrong and needs fixing fast.

Walsh leaving has probably had a bigger impact then we can appreciate. There was talk here that both had a disagreement regarding Gueye. Infact Ranieri admitted he wasn't keen on Kante because of his size, but Walsh persisted. Maybe winning the title emboldened Ranieri and he didn't feel he needed to listen to Walsh as much as when he first came here.

Seriously, who is going to want to join us in January if we are in a relegation battle? That's what worries me. After winning the PL, we needed to consolidate and move on up not down! I would want players with bottle not seeking to fill their boots and empty wallets come the window but sadly I think we will struggle to bolster the squad. 2 games in the CL - that is what it will be realistically - isn't really an incentive.

Vardy got jealous of their relationship. Vardy probably looks down at everyone now "me play for england n me have book and movie"

 

Who is even going to watch that film if he is a one season wonder

[Chico1958]

 

I never pay to much attention to pundits but Shearer hit the nail on the head last night:

 

Not fighting for eachother, lazy and not being first to the ball as they were last year.

 

Finished with, many of them signed new deals and are not earning it at the moment.

 

Throw in Jealousy and I think we're sorted.

 

How does the Manager bring harmony to a group of individuals who are greedy, jealous and are working through the 7 Deadly Sins

 

The Seven Deadly Sins

Seven things that are considered the worst things to do.

1. Greed - Wanting too much of something.
2. Gluttony - Similar to greed, but gluttony is the action of taking too much of something in.
3. Lust - The need to fulfill unspiritual desires (not just sexual desires, but this is usually what lust is associated with.)
4. Envy - Jealousy; wanting to have what someone has.
5. Sloth - Being too slow or lazy at doing something.
6. Wrath - Vindictive anger; angry revenge.
7. Pride - Being too self-satisfied

 

Here endeth the reading 

[Matt]

Ego's and ££££'s
.

 

Also I think there could be divides between last season's team and the new players, to add to that the cliques for example Mahrez and Slimani, e.t.c.

 

Last season was about a team spirit, a 'band of brothers', mates, I see no reason why that should have changed but it has and the above reason's are the logical/easy things to blame.

Walsh and Gueye don't seem to be pulling stumps at Everton. 

 

We are playing much the same team as last srason,  with a few enforced changes.  It is not the new players that are the problem,  it is the old ones. 

 

Bench Mahrez for a start,  he needs to know that his big money transfer is toast if he plays as he is now.

If I was wes Morgan I'd knock on the managers door and volunteer to **** off back to Nottingham and take huth with him. Championship seems about there level this season.

 

We need 2 new centre backs and 2 midfielder options in Jan.  But who's gonna join for a champions league fairwell and a relegation battle unless we hand them 100k a week 5 year contracts as well.

 

Last season has made this season so much worse and proves how badly we wasted the summer. 

 

Don't care what anyone says we missed a golden chance in the summer transfer window. Instead we recruited badly. Slim looks to be an attempt to keep Ryiad happy. Not worked. Musa I'm sure was meant to be back up to vardy. But now we don't know what to do with him. 16 million and he gets 20 mins here and there.

 

Kapustka will be 27 before he's ready to play and he won't be here then. Can see him wanting to leave in Jan as will gray at this rate.

 

Such a waste the big names aren't doing it so why not change it. Has the tinker man forgot why he got that name or does he hate the tag that much he doesn't want it back.

The owners have gone strangely quiet, I'd love to hear from them, perhaps backing the manager and saying they'll recruit in the Jan window. I'm really in a position where I don't want to slate Claudio, yet I'm also really angry at the state of things, it's so confusing, I love the guy, the players but I want to punch their lights out. 

I wouldn't.

 

The owners are decent because they don't get involved with the football side. I find it strange people would want them too.

 

 

Good to see all the conspiracy theories ramping up though.

Trouble is are any recruits in January going to be any better than the dross that Ranieri has recruited so far ? even without mentioning Inler and the other non starters  -Musa - Slimani - Armaty  ? all championship players at best . £ 60 million down the drain and that's without

the wages . 

 

Sorry Ranieri has to go . The buck stops with him.

So it`s Ranieri thats been scouting these summer recruits for the last 2 years then, and recommending them to the club,  and not the much lauded Steve Walsh and his team!

 

[sk3since03]

Blame the massive amounts of money the club are apparently paying Vardy/Mahrez! There is bound to be envy throughout the whole squad! Plus both not pulling their weight wont help.

 

Should of cashed in on both 

[foxy boxing]

Everyone was best buds last season now Vardy and Mahrez can't Evan find each other in matches and Vardy is working less on the pitch. Are Vardy  and Mahrez fighting over who is the biggest star at the club. If they are it is pathetic and inexcusable and they should both get on with their job
