J.Lisemore Posted 1 February 2017 Posted 1 February 2017 The atmosphere will be become toxic if this carries on, the fans can only watch this for so long. I do think we're going down, especially with the amazingly sh*t transfer window we've just had.

Schluipp was so quick, strong and dangerous he had to be marked whatever his end product and that often took the attention of two men leaving space elsewhere. 7 hours ago, Callabinho said: Agree with this. I think Jeff could still have been moulded into a steady LB. Dearly me. Did you guys not see that twat against Porto? Or last season before we replaced him with Fuchs and started winning the league. We've got Chilwell sitting on the bench - that's who we should be trying to develop rather than continuing to play Fuchs now who looks unfit and well out of form. Do you realise how embarrassing you sound clamouring after Schlupp? The bloke was fvcking useless despite all that pace which he almost never used. At least we got one thing right this transfer window.
foxy boxing Posted 1 February 2017 Posted 1 February 2017 worst performance by reigning Premier league champions, these players should feel totally humiliated and ashamed for their performances this season ,these players are not worthy to be called champions this season and are making a mockery of Claudio, themselves and the club. if the slide continues then fans will be volatile and the atmosphere will be extremely toxic.it is jusd hard to get your head around how we could be so good last season and so ***** this season. the players have clearly slacked off too much while the recruitment has been pitiful at best. something has to be done fast to stop the rot we cannot afford to go down!

les-tah Posted 1 February 2017 Posted 1 February 2017 If we stop playing Vardy surely this will force the midfield to pass together. Praying for slimani fitness.

Would of kept our core group English. No chance of signing him now. top 6 bound. He wasn't for sale. Don't get the idea you were £1m or £2m short - he was not for sale, because he wasn't screaming to be let go, and because Burnley were very confident that his value would vastly increase with a season in the Prem, and because having justwon promotion it would have been a kick in the teeth for the fans to sell one of the stars, and because Burnley had made £50m profit in 2 years and didn't need to sell.

Vardy (on his own) is not the problem. He is merely the symptom of the underlying problem. The cough to the cold, if you like. Vardy is limited, but effective. If you give him the ball in a decent position, he will score goals. Those that are unable to see this and are clamouring for him to be offloaded for £5m are deluded. He demonstrated what he's capable of last season with the right service and other teams know this, so they changed the way they play us. Midway through last season there was an article (American based one, I think?) that described how to stop us being so effective. It wasn't long after that that we became more defensive (on the whole) and stopped the wild, cavalier, gung-ho approach that endeared us to many. Quite simply the way to stifle Leicester City is to press and harry the suppliers to the front line. You won't ever be able to do this 100% effectively, but by golly you can make it difficult for us by putting pressure on those who would otherwise supply Vardy (in the main). Last season we had momentum, we had Kante, we had Vardy & Mahrez in incredible form and we managed to still win games (remember the run of 1-0 results?) even without anywhere near as many chances. Where teams sit off us, give us space to play and don't press the ball then we will get time & space to play balls to Vardy and he will score a fair few from those chances. OK, last night he missed his golden chance that fell his way and he also cocked up the shot from wide when last year he would probably have scored at least one of those. When you're in a bad run, you get anxious and don't tend to play as well as you can. Add to that the baying of the angry mob on his back and the poor bloke hardly has a chance. Yes, he doesn't appear to be working so hard as last year - but he's not alone in this. The whole team is failing to work as hard (as a team - there are plenty running themselves into the ground, just not as effectively as they should be doing) and until they rediscover a bit of teamwork then it won't get any better, regardless of who is played up front. Slimani is only effective with crosses into the box. Yesterday Fuchs put in two corkers in quick succession - I dare say that Slimani would probably have loved to see those coming in. Apart from those two, there were very few decent crosses in after that and this is why it's largely irrelevant who we play up front at the moment. Any of them, given chances, can score - our problem is providing the chances for them.
Blizzard Posted 1 February 2017 Posted 1 February 2017 I dont really want to moan on here, and I really thought we could survive a relegation battle, but Im beginning to think we will go down. It makes a laughing stock of the club, and none of it really adds up. Roy Keane may have been right months ago when he said they were unprofessional. The owners certainly shouldn't have given them the new cars, a total mistake. In fact they ought to ask for them back....
sk3since03 Posted 1 February 2017 Posted 1 February 2017 Roy Keane will say anything that would make him feel relevant! Blokes an absolute dick head

Do you realise how embarrassing you sound clamouring after Schlupp? The bloke was fvcking useless despite all that pace which he almost never used. At least we got one thing right this transfer window. I'm not clammering after Schlupp at all. At the time he was tranferred he was an embarrrassment. But his mood was a symptom of much that was wrong in our club. Some of our title winning team were effectively downgraded for people who, to this day, have made little contribution. And that was the start of our season of discontent. Schlupp might have shown some potential as a full-back but that promise never really materialised but he still had the ability to cause havoc with his pace and had supplementary defensive ability from midfield. Chilwell is a full-back who can support into wide midfield but has none of the pace that Schlupp had and none of the goal/or chance threat. He's a defender primarily while Schlupp was an attacker and an important option in the balance of our squad. Chilwell, as a full-back plus a bit has great promise but he's a work in progress, Gray even more so though I still doubt he'll ever quite make it. I don't expect to convince you of what I say other than I'll convince people of the importance of King's passing but, to some extent, our results tell their own story. Of too many goals conceded, not many scored, little noticeabble pace, poor passing, far too much hopeful humping, not enough movement off the ball and poor marking of opposition runners. All things we did reasonably well in the past but are now major weaknesses.
AjcW Posted 1 February 2017 Posted 1 February 2017 I know this has probably been said, but I think Danny Simpson has been the worst player on the pitch last 2, maybe 3 games. Keeps getting caught in no mans land and can't make a short or long pass... if Molla can play there, then he has to straight away in my opinion.

They're being set up for a 0-0 every game and clearly dislike how they're being told to play.

Any boos? as i said earlier in the thread kasper saved the lads on that count last night. there was barely any applause after the whistle, a lot of players stood with their backs to the crowd which was pretty cowardly. kasper came over clapping etc which got a decent response which half heartedly carried on until they went down the tunnel. for a few moments before kasper came over i was sure there was going to be a pretty vile reception towards the likes of wes and vardy, and it would've been deserved too. it'll kick off big time amongst our fans and between players and fans in a game or two time. i would guess it'll be when we lose to swansea away in two weeks time.

ScouseFox Posted 1 February 2017 Posted 1 February 2017 Just now, Bablemikey said: I fear it might happen Sunday if we can't raise our game. doesn't usually happen much at home bar booing at full time which happens literally every time we lose. it'll be a hardy away end of people who go most weeks and just can't be arsed watching shinji shuffle round on his arse for an hour as we drop further and further down the league. it turns into "support the lads be a proper supporter" vs "they don't deserve our support at the moment" etc.

However our defensive stats just highlight what a steady game Ndidi had. He'd be great at the base of a central midfield three, I think.
Orange seat Posted 1 February 2017 Posted 1 February 2017 4 hours ago, Nugent said: Anyone who went last night, what were the players like at the end, much acknowledgement of the travelling support? Any boos? Schmecial came over and clapped for a while right in front of us all, you could tell he was still pissed off at the handball decision. Morgan stood completly still with his back to the fans looking into space for quite a while but then did turn round and gave a little clap, Albrighton looked and clapped at us all as he made his way across from the dugout. Think Drinky was complaining to the ref, most the rest of them just walked off though you could tell that Fuchs was still ranting as he went down the tunnel. No booing from our lot, but not much applauding either.
HankMarvin Posted 1 February 2017 Posted 1 February 2017 I'm happy with our performance, with our character, but, of course, the result is not with us. 'We have to work more, fight more and believe. 'We need to make two, three good matches with points, and then we will be getting better.' I believe that his one dimensional and churns out the same old shit every match

If we stop playing Vardy for a bit then he may throw his rattle out his pram there giving him the message he is not the Messiah he's been a very naughty boy !! sorry went off tangent there but if we drop him it will show he's not the first name on the team sheet he will have to up his game again to get back in the squad he's lost pace or he's lost desire due to his high wage structure does he feel like he's nothing to prove anymore after helping win the league etc?? but I say bench the bugger for a while give the likes of Leo a shout make Vardy worry about his position mind you he's not the only one I'd bench!
