What available manager would garner a better response right now? It's so easy to blindly blame the manager isn't it? 

Sam (not Fireman!)....

Shamble and unfortunatly football can be a cruel sport and one in which managers often taken the punishment.

 

CR has done F all to change whats happening and he appears happy with this free fall.

 

He doesnt know his head from his arse at the minute and we are becomming the laughing stock amongst English football.

 

 

[RowlattsFox]

He should be criticised but that doesn't mean he should be sacked. For me he gets a transfer window to put it right. 

 

Weve been victims of our success last season. We probably would have progressed more as a squad if last season wasn't so sensational but now we're left with players who have dropped back to a level they were previously and that is clearly not good enough. 

 

Criminal of ranieri to not try something other than 442. 

[adam]

If he keeps playing 442 he needs to be put in a mental home. 

 

It was clear about two months ago that this set up was not working and isn't the answer. Last season has gone. He needs to stop being so loyal to certain individuals who are clearly letting him down and the team.

But this was considered a great squad last year

It was described as a bunch of mercenaries and rejects banding together and doing something amazing.

 

There's no way you look at our squad from last season and can come to the conclusion that it was great. It was the worst squad to have won the league ever and now that we've lost this desire and will to work for each other teams are playing us off the park every week.

 

Time to say thanks, but we we need to rip the core of this squad up and get rid.

 

Huth, Morgan, Simpson, Albrighton and Vardy - All heroes, but none can be arsed any more.

He's a clown.  It's obvious King and Amartey can't play in a 2 man Midfield, yet we continually play the same way.  Truly baffling.

Idiot, who would you play? Drinky who has a card out of frustration, or mendy who was injured for months? (or Kante)

[st albans fox]

He won't play 4-4-2 v citeh 

 

he didn't last season without drinks and he won't this 

[dylanlegend]

I've always believed the excellent team spirit was crafted by Pearson, the further away form Pearsons reign the less together we seem.

 

We don't press like we used to- WTF not? Questions need to be raised to claudio

Such a shame to see this situation. The man was so brilliant last season (and would've been whether we won the title or not) but this run and the last two months have been on a par with two years ago.

 

I really hope he can turn it around or walk away soon with dignity and the love for last season.

You're confusing the word 'man' with 'team'. Possibly even 'results'. 

 

Football fans in fickle shocker.

C'mon man !

Amazing how the players get away with this.

 

The players have been awful. I'd accept the results if the effort was there but it isn't.

And Matty James played a blinder the other day for the dev squad

[HighPeakFox]

It's painful to see - I don't know what the answer is.

 

The answer, however, definitely isn't calling everyone involved a c**t (or similar), and fighting amongst ourselves - I agree with a lot of the criticism here, I don't agree with a single syllable of the abuse and hatred towards some or all of the team.

but he did not play 442..he played few systems during the game (almost every game)..Of course u can t see that///

[yorkie1999]

Can't see the problem with getting relegated. More games, cheaper parking and beer, chance of promotion or playoffs. Footballs all about highs and lows, it's what makes it exciting, imagine being a stoke fan and having to watch mid table football every year, forever. The money is nothing to do with us, sky hand out their hundreds of millions, but what does that mean to us as fans, we don't get any, it all goes on paying even more to a bunch of premadonas. We pit our wits against the best sides etc etc, well we don't, we pit our wits against sides with more money than sense, Barca and Real are the best sides. I personally don't give a shit about Liverpool or Man Utd or spurs, Chelsea maybe for cheating us out of game once but that's about it. 

[Buce]

The owners will stick with him while we are still in the CL, but he's skating on thin ice now.

 

 

[Tuna]

I don't know what's going on on the inside but Claudio is 65 now and these players have delivered the crowning achievement of his career. His first title in his last job, winning the respect of his peers and the footballing world and making him an incredibly wealthy man as well.

 

It's human nature to be loyal to people who have helped you. Of course, he's going to be loyal, but I'm worried that this loyalty is now beginning to cloud his judgement. And that's an extremely troubling scenario.

 

He's burying his head in the sand and hoping it will turn around on its own accord. It isn't and it won't.

[MC Prussian]

I'd like to think he has enough credit to last until the end of the season... However, should we continue with a free fall down the table and occupy a relegation spot for a prolonged period this winter, particularly before the January transfer window, I can see the owners starting to have second thoughts about his future at the club.

maybe as sub, but clearly Mandy was in front..If we won this game would you question Mandy vs Matty?

[Blanchflower78]

For me its about the abject nature of performances. It really is night and day from last year and we lost one player who happened to be fkin amazing. We have amassed a squad and have no pattern of play, no stamp that says 'this is lesta' other than being utter shite. Were trying a few different faces but nothing is working. The team will drop out the top flight unless massive turnaround. Huge shame and as bonkers as last season.
