Last season we really took off when we changed our two full-backs. Schlupp and De Laet went out and Simpson/Fuchs came in. This took a lot of teams by surprise as most other top teams use their full-backs to start attacks. We have been found out. We're certainly not taking the opposition by surprise any more. Maybe we need to change it back. Chilwell and Albrighton for full backs? I wouldn't be against this actually. Going back to all out attack, instead of playing defensively. Also Albrighton/Chilwell are better footballers than De Laet/Schlupp.

ithuriel Posted 6 February 2017 Posted 6 February 2017 I watched him in the second half and when the team looked clueless for the latter part of the second half Claudio was just standing there. Either he had given up on this match or he had no idea on how to change things around. Thus I am at that point where I believe, even for being the gentlemen that he is, that he has to go because he is not going to change the direction we are heading.
simon789us Posted 6 February 2017 Posted 6 February 2017 Ask yourself this if last season didn't happen and we finished mid table would you be happy with Claudio's performance I know the players are mostly to blame but Claudio Carnt get them going for whatever reason think it time for him to go thanks for the best season ever but it's not good enough Carnt keep getting players in and not play them not just this season it's happened dof and manager need to work together in getting the right players in who can come straight in and improve the team not oh he's ok get him in and then we find out manager didn't want him

For now though, he deserves our full support. It will be interesting to see what happens on current form we lose both games however they are both very winnable aswell so here's hoping Leicester can win them both
purpleronnie Posted 6 February 2017 Posted 6 February 2017 I wouldn't mind going down if we went down fighting. But we're going down with a whimper. It wasn't even a good Utd performance yet they cruised to victory. 1 point this year, no goals. It can't go on like this. Sacking Ranieri after managing Leicester to their greatest ever achievement, a season no-one ever thought was possible is a tough one. How desperate are the owners to stay in the premiership? Do they think Ranieri could bring us back up? Only they know. Other struggling clubs have changed things and apart from palace have improved, we're sinking and doing nothing to change it. Ranieri looked clueless yesterday. Will bringing in another manager help that much? The transfer window has shut so he's got to get the best out of the current squad. Such a tough call.
shiltz Posted 6 February 2017 Posted 6 February 2017 “They slowed down the tempo and it was too easy for them. For us it was hard to press because they moved the ball too quickly with one or two touches and it was very difficult. “Of course when you don’t score you can’t win but I’m very confident with my strikers. We have Slimani to come back, he’s another option, so that’s good. “Every time we speak about trying to be solid. We did a good performance [in the first half] but then conceded two in two minutes. From there it’s difficult to go back. Read more at http://www.lcfc.com/news/article/2016-17/ranieri-reaction-3557692.aspx#CDovuWOuQjLdHA5w.99 This was Ranieri on LCFC site post match, not been wanting him out but isn't he just describing how a football team plays the game?? .......He reckons Man Utd played like champions??.... by that reckoning almost every team we have played so far this season have played like champions as they have dominated and danced around us all season! I have no idea what to make of what he's now thinking. Man Utd looked as good as Southampton etc because we are very poor.
AjcW Posted 6 February 2017 Posted 6 February 2017 The big issue with being relegated to the championship now is you end up like Villa. Having to spend DOUBLE what we have spent this season, to sign Champ quality players, the majority of whom probably won't be good enough if/when they go up!

Unless you have a good scouting network and sign players based on scouting rather than reputation/who an agent suggests to you/someone you scouted 3 seasons ago.

What makes people think he going to change the clubs fortune in results. Surely shaky can take the reins for derby,what we need is new and fresh ideas at the moment as ranieri's ideas are none existing. The club should have made a move in management a long time ago to get somebody in. I'm afraid it's to late to be honest. Those below us made the move and some are reaping the rewards now and not us. The owners should have reacted today to this poor situation with the club and supporters in mind.
Freeman's Wharfer Posted 6 February 2017 Posted 6 February 2017 One thing that I seem to see people failing to note is that we were on an upward trajectory before Ranieri arrived. We'd just finished 14th and I think most of us would have been confident of surviving our second season in The Prem. Why should we now accept, just because of last season, a regression to a lower point than which we were at before he came in? Had we been this bad and looking this likely to be relegated last season by this stage then there'd have been outrage at how he was taking the club backwards.
jonny_wright Posted 6 February 2017 Posted 6 February 2017 Just been doing some research on Ranieri and his form shouldn't surprise us, he's got a history of it all going wrong, he never lasts very long! Either gets sacked or walks, not the type of manager to really get poached from a club!
NZ_Foxile Posted 6 February 2017 Posted 6 February 2017 This sounds eerily familiar... https://www.theguardian.com/football/2004/oct/25/europeanfootball.sport

A message for other clubs' fans reading this - none of us expected another league title. All we want is a team to be proud of and failing that a team with basic levels of professional competence. We've been absolutely woeful in about 80% of our games this season. We've scored one league goal since Christmas. We're the worst team to watch in the league by a country mile. Yet we still get a full house every week, the atmosphere was excellent in the first half (all things considered) and yet we still get absolutely nothing back from the players and empty platitudes from the manager. Yes, last year was a beautiful aberration but our football club cannot be frozen at that moment in time. Superb post that. Couldn't have put it better myself.

(Not sure if they ended up getting relegated or not).
Sly Posted 6 February 2017 Posted 6 February 2017 It upsets me that it's come to this really. I lost faith mid December and if anything we're getting worse. I don't think the Board will remove him from his position out of a sense of loyalty. Additionally I don't think we have a plan "B"up our sleeve due to this either. We've lost so much of the groundwork that the Pearson era built up now that we're going backwards. We've not capitalised on last season at all and I fear we'll be the next Forest, talking about the glory season for the next 30 years. For the record, I didn't like Pearson but I think we can all agree that he was foundation builder which ultimately led to our success. The only person that can get us out of this rut is a motivator type. It's a short term answer as we're a mess. We just need to survive then undertake a full damage report once the final ball has been kicked. Your other issue is that the culture in the squad is broken. Different languages etc This is a time when they need to don the tin hats, club together and put out a team to grind out results. It also means some tough calls need to be made and this is where I believe our current Manager is lacking. So who'd you get is the bigger question, if Claudio walks. At the minute he reminds me of Nero.
klrice Posted 6 February 2017 Posted 6 February 2017 Do the players want to play football, they do not have a clue.maybe they still have hangover from last season.
m4DD0gg Posted 6 February 2017 Posted 6 February 2017 Would be interested in getting David Wagner in if CR gets binned.

Joefox Posted 6 February 2017 Posted 6 February 2017 6 hours ago, Dan LCFC said: I'll make this point too - people saying stuff like "job for life" etc... will you be saying the same in the Championship? Because do you honestly see anything that this club has demonstrated in the past year that tells you we'll bounce back up? The rate we're going I'd back us to go down again rather than go up. This is exactly the point. At what stage would people deem it reasonable to sack him? What if we go down and we are languishing near the bottom of the championship next year? making a managerial change is the only thing a football club can do to try and change its fortunes. It's crap that it has to be that way but that's just the way it is. him leaving of his own accord or being dismissed does not effect his legendary status one jot.
