yorkie1999 Posted 27 January 2017 Share Posted 27 January 2017 Surely the players will know that this is a tie as much for the fans as it is the players. All i want to see is passion and desire tonight. Forget whats happened this season so far, time to grow up and be men, not spoilt brats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Prussian Posted 27 January 2017 Share Posted 27 January 2017 It's "make it or break it" time, folks. If we don't approach this game like a veritable six-pointer in league terms and a derby against local rivals (or neighbors, whatever you want to call it), then it could be the final moment after which everything definitely spirals out of control. I want to see us give a 110%, retain possession and show up with focus and intent. A "performance" like Southampton away must become the exception, not the rule. But that also requires the manager finally getting the best out of his player in a system they are accustomed to!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see it already, Hughes takes the ball, we stand off until he is in the penalty area, puts Morgan on his arse with a little pass and teammate taps it in. You can definitely see that happening I'm afraid. I've not spoken to anyone yet who thinks we'll win! Its ridiculous how the confidence in this team has diminished. Its the sheep shaggers! I hope we smash em! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worthosoriginals Posted 27 January 2017 Share Posted 27 January 2017 City fans...This is derby in the fa cup! Get behind our lads.. At the ground or in the pubs. Winning drawing or losing... C'mon leicester boys! Make some fcking noise! (Rather than negative wittering.) Don't chant that bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have better individuals, but as a unit we're just not performing. We could be made to look very silly when they pass and move the ball around us at ease. I too have the same fear. A high tempo pressing game from us, from KO is a 'must'. Sitting back and waiting for things to happen will simply not work if this season is anything to go by.

I also see this game as make or break. That's not being hasty. That's on the back of playing some shocking football this season. If we bow out to Direby with a whimper tonight,I'd have had enough. Nothing other than at least a spirited performance tonight is enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deejdeej Posted 27 January 2017 Share Posted 27 January 2017 Half expecting derby and forest fans to join forces tonight to declare how much they don't care about us, then proceeding to go and drink together arm in arm while agreeing how fierce their rivalry is.

sylofox Posted 27 January 2017 Share Posted 27 January 2017 zSpoke to a sheep this morning. He's hoping they can sneak a 1-0 win. But expects our usual 0-4 He seemed like a decent sheep unlike the rest he claimed he hated us as much as florest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indierich06 Posted 27 January 2017 Share Posted 27 January 2017 For me, if we lose tonight then that's it. If Ranieri disrespects the fans and puts out a similar lineup to the Porto game, and we get beaten by ****ing Derby then I for one will have had enough - I'd be quite happy if the board decided to look elsewhere in terms of manager. I will always love Ranieri for what he did last season, but something has gone badly - catastrophically - wrong since we won the league, and the manager seems to be completely in denial and absolutely clueless about how to rectify the problems. The window for us to attract a top manager to the club will be well and truly gone once we're out of the Champions League - the opportunity to sign top players definitely has gone now. Let's try and salvage something from this mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we lose to them tonight, forget this 'it ain't a Derby and we ain't rivals' rubbish...their fans will be gloating big time. If we look to not even be trying tonight, and lose convincingly (without much of a fight) I'd want a change at the helm too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowlattsFox Posted 27 January 2017 Share Posted 27 January 2017 Looking forward to the Derby pitch invasion if they beat us it would almost be worth losing to see that. Manner of performance is what I'm looking at that, if we don't get a result but play much better than I'd continue to support Ranieri. Defeat with a wimper and it will be hard for him to come back from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callabinho Posted 27 January 2017 Share Posted 27 January 2017 Not looking forward to this at all. Like a few have said lose this and his position for me will be untenable...he will have to leave the club, there are currently no signs of improvement at all...
