urban.spaceman Posted 5 February 2017 Posted 5 February 2017 If Mata had been sent off it could have been a different story. Not it an excuse for yet another disgusting performance though
Callabinho Posted 5 February 2017 Posted 5 February 2017 Only N'didi and Kasper come out of that with any kind of respect. The subs were pointless too, in terms of shape it wasn't too bad first half, we just made a couple of errors. Second half we had nothing, we've sparked conversations in the media about how good united are. Only one of those outfield players out any effort in today. The club needs something but what I don't know, we have no confidence at all and are starting to look like we are already down. I don't think there's any saving us in the current set up, if Ranieri stays we are relegated.

Wymsey Posted 5 February 2017 Posted 5 February 2017 Mahrez, Ndidi and Gray were stand-outs. Vardy seems to have lost some pace. Desperate for a new CB pairing, bring cut through like thin paper at the moment. Surprised on Rooney being left out for them, perhaps Mourinho sees him as declining a bit and, with his heavy wages, wants those to play not to think about their bank balances and just focus on trying to do well for team -Vardy in particular should take note of this if that was the reason.

Sad to see the likes of Vardy and Drinky just prancing around, without any real effort. For the second goal, last year Drinky would have been there to intercept the cross, but this year he jogs back and lets Ibra score. This is such a poor league. Burnley have Boyd in their starting line up, someone who I saw playing for Peterborough and thinking he wasn't good enough for league one! Look at West Brom and Bournemouth for god's sake. The fact that we have been so bad, and yet are above the relegation zone, only emphasises my point. With the investment in players (net £30m or so), the owners would have been expecting at the very least a top ten finish and not a relegation battle. I think that a change in Manager is required, otherwise the nightmare will be upon us. Just look at what that has done for Hull and Swansea. Gray posed a threat with two or three runs but the resulting chances were squandered. I was pleased that Drinkwater had a couple of shots but he doesn't change - he so rarely hits the target and is simply not a natural finisher. The problem for Gray is he's only got about 25/30 minutes in him and that was no different today. Musa just looks out of his depth but was included in an attempt to replicate the pace of Schlupp on his better days of yesteryear. Trouble is Musa doesn't have anything like Schlupp's strength and is far too easily swatted aside.
Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 5 February 2017 Posted 5 February 2017 I can't understand why a the that can't stop conceding (at least 2 a game) have the arrogance or stupidity to start with 4 attackers. Surely to God we should play 7,3,1 if it means we are hard to beat and don't concede. We are just ignoring our own deficits and blindly moving from game to game. Clueless, clueless, clueless
Raj Posted 5 February 2017 Posted 5 February 2017 We're going to be the worst Champions since Man.City virca 1925. Utter ****ing embarrassment.
Fox92 Posted 5 February 2017 Posted 5 February 2017 Absolute disgrace. We were 'okay' for 40 minutes then as usual capitulated after conceding first.... The first goal looked like Huth was indecisive again and once the lad got clear nobody was catching him. The second and third goals were jokes. The second goal he literally runs at the Fuchs and hits a low cross. So simple. Our style of play is appalling, there is a lack of motivation, lack of desire and no fight. How easy is it to knock Mahrez off the ball. Ranieri out.
Blue ROI Posted 5 February 2017 Posted 5 February 2017 A depressing result. I've lost all hope for Ranieri to turn it around. No adequate defensive cover in the transfer window could have serious long lasting effects for the cliub. That said a new manager might find its too late to turn the thing around, Damned if you do etc. Heaven knows I'm miserable now!
Clever Fox Posted 5 February 2017 Posted 5 February 2017 It's obvious our problems started in the Summer with no proper preperation but mainly by our poor recruitment. There's only one man to blame for that and that's the Manager. Not bringing in proven quality when he had the money and opportunity. All we needed was 3 players to add to what we had. How he could even remotely consider our midfield good enough is mind boggling for a Manager of his experience. For that reason alone I've lost a lot of faith in him.

Guest CityFan 06 Posted 5 February 2017 Posted 5 February 2017 Sleep walking to relegation. Fundamental basics once again not being met and there is a lack of heart & heart going forward. We're far too easy to score against. First 40mins was ok, but we fell apart as soon as Utd scored. Ndidi our best player and he is a player who looks promising in moments. What a state it's got to, we shouldn't have to be content with being mediocre & battling to survive. This club has potential of much more. It's just becoming a very similar story of comfortable defeats week after week. Confidence has hit rock bottom. No driving belief to win games & score goals.
foxes_rule1978 Posted 5 February 2017 Posted 5 February 2017 What can we do , this is pretty much the above average Man U we were more than a match for last season and they have spanked us twice... it isn't about teams working us out because they played the same sort of football as they did against us last season
Kitchandro Posted 5 February 2017 Posted 5 February 2017 Don't think we did an awful lot wrong in the first half, but then conceded 2 shit goals and our heads dropped, as usual. The one player in the first half that didn't looked arsed was Mahrez. But what really got my goat was some bloke in the toilet at half time going to his mate 'Mahrez looks like he doesn't want to be here' and this other cvnt said 'well would you?'. Er, yeh I would if I was playing in the reserves of some 2nd tier Fench side 3 years ago. What sickens me more than players not giving a shit is people excusing it. Have some pride you pathetic twats. He did pick it up in the 2nd half once the game was already gone but he's been as bad as anyone in terms of his attitude this season. I don't think there was much wrong with the tactics or the application in general today but that's not much consolation when we're being battered 3-0 every time we play anyone half decent. We concede goals way too easily and there are too many players who don't want to take responsibility. How shocking was it to see Gray and Ndidi (our defensive midfielder) skinning players? We're so short of ideas and bravery on the ball and once again we created almost no chances. I find it hard to stand there singing players names after this season, I really do.

oxtonfox Posted 5 February 2017 Posted 5 February 2017 Our lack of business in the January transfer period seems like to me like a suicide note. We had nothing today on the bench or on the pitch that would frighten any premier side. Our rivals near the bottom have got players in and what's more they know the league a bit. Seriously worried about this. Embarrassed x 3.

Seriously worried about this. Embarrassed x 3. Only x3 i was in the Tens of like 50 or 90 But I agree with the lack of window business I think we had stupidly low bids out for players worth more than we were offering, also why pay millions for a player that you put on the bench and not play what has Kaputska got to do to get a game under Claudio?
oxtonfox Posted 5 February 2017 Posted 5 February 2017 Talking of Kaputska (and I know I must have spelled his name wrong) I agree , how bad must he be if Claudio is not prepared to play him when we are 3-0 down and it didn't really matter. We could have put Angus the Monkey on and I am sure the fans would not have minded one bit. If I were Bartosz I'd look in the mirror and ask the question - what the f*** am I doing here? I predicted he would be this year's Kramaric and it seems so...

Musa looked good in the first half as well. Its gonna be a tough run in but we were playing a side unbeaten in now 15 games. I'm unsure if they'll give Claudio another match - sad stuff. You thought Musa looked good at any one single moment on that pitch ? seriously ?
MC Prussian Posted 5 February 2017 Posted 5 February 2017 Quote Leicester's Christian Fuchs has just fronted up to the television cameras, telling BBC Sport: "We keep our heads high, we have to fight as a team and give everything until the last game. "We have to stick together, fight for every inch on the field. We are not there to stick our head in the sand, we want to fight back." How about taking your own head out of your behind first, Christian? I'm done with your Social media shenanigans, it was funny while we were doing well. THAT WAS LAST SEASON. If you can't give a 100% on the pitch and don't care about your job - which is defending, by the way - you have no right to claim to know what you're doing and should make way for somebody else, retire or finally move to the MLS where your head truly is. Meanwhile, Ben Chilwell is still asking himself what he has to do to become a regular starter...
Dawko Posted 5 February 2017 Posted 5 February 2017 Why should the players care when the manager doesn't. The only ones who do care are us stupid buggers. Although even we are having doubts.
