Col city fan Posted 11 December 2016 Share Posted 11 December 2016 6 minutes ago, worthosoriginals said: so if we do lose to Bournemouth, will you be coming back on repeatedly to say it's all that Amartey blokes fault yet again... and things like get fat Sam in like you said after Sunderland last week. a little bit hypocritical of you grumbling of the many that have been negative. and saying as long as all the negativity is constructive is OK I disagree it's the Leicester city roller coaster, enjoy the ride. This is my point. We are discussing. Amartey HAS blown very hot and cold AND I've said before I feel for the lad cos he's been thrown in at the deep end too quickly. I also said that yesterday, apart from the blunder at the end, Amartey was faultless. Ive also said that we looked to be in free fall. Before yesterday, we WERE in free fall and that if the Thais pull the plug on Ranieri I'd have no qualms getting in a bloke who is a specialist at turning round teams in free fall. Ie Fat Sam. This is discussing, on a football forum and it's miles away from some of the frankly, appalling stuff that was posted last week about Andy King. Big big difference..

Fans want to see a team putting in the right effort. If the manager is not getting that out of the players he is the first to go. Effort doesn't mean winning each game. One game, let's see how that goes on. Now go pick up Top's towels or something. Jog on fella, you have been clearly proved wrong - stomach it , you dont have a scooby do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weller54 Posted 11 December 2016 Share Posted 11 December 2016 One Swallow doesn't make a summer... But hope that this win gives the team the much needed confidence boost they needed.. Bournemouth on Tuesday will tell us lots more! A win there and I'll be ordering a XXL size pie. Ps.... It was no coincidence that the Rachel thread reappeared on Saturday morning?

The victory was awesome and so was the result but lets face facts: 1) Man city were dog dirt - no Aguero, a bizarre formation that played straight into our hands and a poor team selection. 2) King and Amartey have games like this oncee in 7 or 8, think the last time was Swansea at home. The majority of the time they are very poor. 3) 442 is still not the way forward. I think the lineup and formation will be the same at Bournemouth in the week which i doubt will work.

Monsell1976 Posted 11 December 2016 Share Posted 11 December 2016 2 minutes ago, Moksky said: If you dont support us when we lose, then dont suport us when we win Think you are getting confused between being pissed off with a under performing team, and not supporting the team. Rightly so myself and others have slated them for lacklustre performances and shocking results, doesn't mean I/ we don't attend games and be vocal, and go and support another team, and not support ours. So your comment is very shallow, no team is beyond criticism if they don't perform, doesn't mean we don't support the team when we have a moan, it means we are not just happy clappers who accept the dross we have had to watch.

Moksky Posted 11 December 2016 Share Posted 11 December 2016 Another quote from a friend To all you so called Leicester fans a story from the Bible. A man called Jesus performed many miracles saved many life's and walked on water. And when he arrived In Nazareth the people of Nazareth kissed his feet and carried him through the streets on there shoulders ,they thought this could never happen to there city. After a while some of the people of Nazareth weren't happy with Jesus they wanted more miracles. Jesus was half way through another miracle (the last 16) when some of the people called for his head. After a while there voices got heard. What happened next . they got Jesus marched him up a hill carrying his cross.( the premier championship cup) they spat at him throw rocks. In the end they crucified him. Now in this world you can't go anywhere they all talk about Jesus the miracle maker.now those people may not have been wearing Leicester shirts but they are the same as a lot of our fans posting shit on here for the world to see. Some of you have already thrown the first rock and it ain't even half way in to December. Shame on you.... Leicester city. To our manager I apologized for the so called fans that have threw the rocks. But we the proper Leicester fans will not let them crucified you. ......one love.

HighPeakFox Posted 11 December 2016 Share Posted 11 December 2016 Criticise performances or lack of effort, absolutely. Display ugly hatred and descend into angry name-calling as a result of the above, absolutely not. Some posters seem not know where that line is...

Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 11 December 2016 Share Posted 11 December 2016 Can we perhaps consider that the fan base occupy many positions in regards to their feelings about the team week to week? This incessant we're either in the woeful camp or we're in the majestic/loyal camp is tedious. I have already been in both camps and will continue to shift as the season rolls on and performances warrant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Sack the manager, sack the captain, sack the players, sack Filbert, sack the Monks... sack everybody and run around with your head in your hands" is neither constructive nor useful. (not saying you said these things but TOO many did) In fairness I do think I put something to do with our set piece defending down to Filbert and I did call for his sacking so I hold my hands up there, but other than that fair enough.

NotTheMarketLeader Posted 11 December 2016 Share Posted 11 December 2016 1 hour ago, Gerbold said: So many cowards and glory hunters on this forum if they all stood up and apologised there would be 100 pages in no time honestly .... doubting Thomas must have been a Fox ! [Gaelic Fox] Look one swallow doesn't make a summer, however Claudio was spot on in his post match interview saying you cannot win every game but you can fight in every game and that is exactly what we did today and boy did it pay dividends. We really need to maintain this energy level now and kick on because hovering above the bottom three is not where we should be. [The Guvnor] And one bad run doesn't mean we turn on the manager and players - we are supporters - true ones support through thick and thin ! And when the good times come we appreciate them properly and when the many bad times come we embrace them as part of being loyal !!! [Gaelic Fox] I'll use this particular conversation as a starting point to my take on the season so far. I'm not going to eat humble pie because I, unlike many of the hysterical posters on this forum, didn't level any criticism or unnecessary plaudits Claudio's way - other than having an outburst at his selection against Porto and stating that players who didn't want to be at CIty should go. Gaelic is jumping up and down using wildly inappropriate words - what the hell have "cowards" and glory-hunters" to do with what's elicited the comments which have been made by posters as this season as worn on? And, as I've pointed out frequently, there are those who just get some perverse kick out of criticising individuals - because they were born or conditioned into being negative. It's who they are and they don't have any other view of the world. As for loyalty - well maybe loyalty has to be tempered with good sense. If we were sensible human beings maybe we wouldn't be football supporters. The so-called glory-hunters will have moved their allegiance on to some other team by now. The ones who were frantically calling for Ranieri's, Vardy's, Amartey's, King's, Musa's, Zieler's, Huth's, Morgan's, Simpson's and Schlupp's exit were exhibiting a kind of mass hysteria yet, in their way, they were exhibiting their own kind of loyalty to the team and the club. The Guvnor has it spot on - something happened yesterday and it wasn't down to Man City or Stones or Guardiola. The City squad decided to stop f**cking about and start playing again...for each other, personal pride, the Club and the fans. It displayed that Vardy isn't a one-season-wonder, that the Morgan/Huth combination can still defend effectively and Amartey has the potential to do well for himself and the team. It also provided a glimpse of the true footballing genius of Riyad Mahrez. However I cannot explain why - perhaps because it was pissing down with rain and that brought out some of those qualities we've been missing :-). Perhaps they've surmounted the hump caused by Kante leaving or maybe they've realised that last season is now wrapped up and stored away. Who knows. But this thread is, to my way of thinking, a tad too penitential on the one hand and a tad too condemnatory on the other. Yesterday's game proved that the City of last season wasn't what a lot of the Leicester 'haters' (I loathe that word) and the snobs of football wanted to believe it was - a one-off by a team of nonentities and lucky buys. But, as the Guvnor states, the energy needs to be maintained. The team we saw yesterday would be in the top four but, to be fair, that was never going to be possible until they began to work together as a team and I don't think that was possible until they got last season out of their system. I agree. Be fair and be sensible yourself though.... Schlupp should have been sold, he's appauling all round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanSP Posted 11 December 2016 Share Posted 11 December 2016 i'll take some humble pie, but only a slither. Was frustrating with the 4-4-2 line-up again before the match but for once it clicked - perhaps it was to do with the clear-the-air talks/meeting the players had in the lead up to the game. I'm a fan of King so very rarely got on his back (hate those that give him so much unwarranted stick) and I was so happy for him to take his goal like he did. And he linked up with Amartey (another who gets a lot of stick despite being fairly inexperienced and is still probably finding his feet in the league; think a lot of fans frustrations were towards him for our lack of recruitment). But it was very pleasing to see that partnership working and I just hope it continues to work. Now that we have Drinkwater, King, James, Amartey it begs the question who Claudio will pick. But it's much better to have a choice of 4 to play there now as opposed to limited resources! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvisfmcfly Posted 11 December 2016 Share Posted 11 December 2016 Nobody is right or wrong after one great win,we get 2 to 4 points from the next 2 games and we are back on track.Hopefully im wrong but it would be absolutely Leicester to go and lose the next 2 now.

UPinCarolina Posted 11 December 2016 Share Posted 11 December 2016 @Gerbold the weather yesterday reminded me of the match versus Everton last season. Andy King got a rare goal that night as well, and Vardy very nearly had his hat trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walkerfox Posted 11 December 2016 Share Posted 11 December 2016 Bloody hell. This should be called the "I was right and you were wrong! hahahah!! I am better than you!!" thread. one game is not enough to change my mind so I shall be leaving my humble pie thank you. If we get hammered by Bournemouth you'll all look ridiculous. Having said that, I would absolutely love for this to be the turning point where the players start to really care and we consistently play like last season. If we look like we did yesterday for the next few games, then I shall be happy. The humble pie thing can do one though. Why on earth were people not allowed to criticise claudio and the team when they were playing horrifically?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Wall Posted 11 December 2016 Share Posted 11 December 2016 71 posts Joined: 05-November 16 Location: Midsomer Norton Posted 19 November (edited) · Report post Dear Claudio. Around 8 years ago I made an impulse buy and purchased a polo shirt with 100% Leicester eblazoned on it. I have worn it on occasions, always with pride, despite my ever increasing, middle aged beer belly making it look closer to a spandex cycling top. I have defended both you and the players in person and on various forums up to this point. For the first time in 8 years, I don't really want to wear my polo shirt for fear of a fracas taking place while I vehemently fend off another 'lucky Leicester' assailant. Please, please, please do something. Best regards Thanks for listening CR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norwichfox Posted 11 December 2016 Share Posted 11 December 2016 Not really said anything that wasn't warranted by lacklustre heartless performances, but I'll take a slice if we can carry on with that spirit, losing doesn't hurt nearly so much when it's a spirited fighting display. Best I've felt for a quite a while over a weekend. I was a little surprised that the team members said we continue playing 442 according to Claudio. Good job he didn't ask the all knowledgeable fans . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
