We played decent football and stayed up without him, when he didn't start last year we still fought and played well. Of course it's going to impact you losing probably one of the best in the world, but not to this extent. He's just another one of many reasons. We played well the year before Kante, but we had Cambiasso in midfield, one of the best midfielders of his generation. We've gone - Cambiasso > Kante > King/Amartey/Mendy in central midfield, possibly the most important position on the pitch.
HoustonFox Posted 3 February 2017 Posted 3 February 2017 Just watched today's presser with Claudio. Makes me really worried. He was pretending to not understand a lot of questions he has answered easily in the past. Also, he had a lot of powder puff questions, especially from RL who, to be fair did ask if anyone had a guaranteed spot. One journo asked him to describe his playing style, to which he responded "to win". They let it go. Stringer could have followed up on that and asked about long aimless balls etc. Basically, all the things we ask on here. Oh, I'd kill (figuratively) to be there and get to ask some questions. Another I noticed was, as they cut to training footage, Kairo Mitchell is training with the first team. Any regulars to the U23s know much about him? Looks tall, that's for sure!
ozvaldo Posted 3 February 2017 Posted 3 February 2017 Not even trying to exaggerate but I think we'll lose this 1-6.

I stopped listening to Ranieri pressers mid way through last season. It's full of cliches and buzzwords. Very worrying though. I guess journalists don't wanna ask "hard" questions cos they still want access. A bit like politics really. I'd like to think Ranieri is intelligent enough to understand the gravity of the situation.

It's true. They're fighting any plan that might be in place. Fighting any consistency. Fighting the idea of playing like champions. For all we know they're fighting in the dressing room - maybe that's the reason the defence by passes the midfield with every hoofed ball up front. And now we find ourselves fighting relegation. I just hope with all this fighting the players have energy enough to fight on the pitch, but as it stands right now I'm staining to see any evidence of it myself at the moment.

He always has ever since he joined, last season him saying the same thing over and over was endearing "We make a good game". Now because we are losing it is annoying.... that's how things go, but I honestly think he's trying his best to get a point across correctly it's just not quite within his vocab. So you think instead of "fight" he mean "fail" and it's just his vocab is the issue?

The Guvnor Posted 3 February 2017 Posted 3 February 2017 We are playing like a pub team and the result will reflect this can see us losing by at least 5 goals.

Wymsey Posted 3 February 2017 Posted 3 February 2017 Referee is Anthony Taylor. Is he any good and non-biased?
Kasey Keller Posted 3 February 2017 Posted 3 February 2017 It'll be bye bye Claudio after this defeat.....shakey in until the end of the season

Leamington Fox Posted 3 February 2017 Posted 3 February 2017 Don't worry. I just played City v Man U on FIFA on my PS4 and we won 2-0 having hit the woodwork four times. Vardy opened the scoring before Mahrez finished it off. The atmosphere was amazing and Man U rarely threatened. Phew.

Get him in!!

I know that everyone has an opinion and yes this season is hard to take but at the end of the day we are all Leicester fans and will always be.

I'm thinking the 1 will come from a last minute long distance strike. And the Utd fans will cheer loudly to take the piss.
Koke Posted 3 February 2017 Author Posted 3 February 2017 Mourinho is eulogising over us in his presser. We need a Vardy dive in the box in the 87th minute and Jose will go ape shit on us in the post match calling us bellends.
