When was the last time we scored a bloody goal for gods sake. Since Man City: We're scored 3 goals from Ulloa, Slimani, and Amartey. None of them have played in the last 4 games and we haven't scored in 5.
TMELcfc Posted 5 February 2017 Posted 5 February 2017 I said in the great escape season Simpson was our best defender (as in has the awareness and positional sense). Gary refused to slate him as he does defend pretty well. He lacks any attacking intent, however he's there to cover Mahrez's arse which at the moment is as messy as my 1 year old's nappies. Morgan has made a career from making last ditch tackles and throwing himself at the ball without really knowing what to do. Normally in the position because he's made a mistake in the first place. How he's also our captain il never know. Kasper should be captain. Huth - great in his day but has got slower which is leading him to make stupid mistakes and getting caught out because his legs can't do what his mind wants them to do. And Fuchs... He's lost all defensive capability this season plus he find a decent cross anymore... Time me to make big changes at the back, give Benny and Chilwell game time.
foxes21 Posted 5 February 2017 Posted 5 February 2017 I saw a good analogy from a Man United fan. They said the year after they won the league, Ferdinand & Vidic just completely lost their legs. It can happen, even to greats like Ferdinand & Vidic and I think it's sadly happened to Morgan & Huth. I'd honestly just drop them for the rest of the year. Give Wague, Benalouane, Ndidi, or an U23 a chance until we find a pair that is going to keep us up.
Dickov22 Posted 5 February 2017 Posted 5 February 2017 Our defence is useless but that's not the only problem. So is our midfield, and we don't score goals either. I found Carragher's comments very offensive and patronising. Comments such as 'these players aren't that good, last season was a complete one off, they're where they should be' etc etc. Patronising twat.
m4DD0gg Posted 5 February 2017 Posted 5 February 2017 Sod those two, a blind man can see those 3 are totally whack
LJS Posted 5 February 2017 Posted 5 February 2017 He's right though. They're not that good and where we are now is normal. The league position that is. Not the lack of effort the stupid ***** are putting in.

jayfox26 Posted 5 February 2017 Posted 5 February 2017 There isn't one thing or one player or person to blame. It's a collective shambles. Yes Huth, Morgan and Fuchs have been poor but so has Drinkwater and others. Vardy massively lacks service but he doesn't seem to have the same drive like last season, doesn't press like he used to and force defenders into mistakes. The players are massively under performing but Claudio isn't doing his job either. Far too many people are saying it's the players, they are greedy, they don't care etc etc but Claudio is untouchable cos he won is the league. Claudio didn't win the league on his own, it was a collective effort from everyone led by Claudio. And now we are collectively shit which is also being lead by Claudio. I do love him and he will always be a legend and it is heartbreaking to think of him being sacked but what is more heartbreaking is the thought of us being relegated. And right now I don't see us winning another game this season with him in charge!

This squad should good enough to be mid table like Stoke and West Brom. We have some good players and some OK ones. There are players in that team that are bang average. Carragher is right.

We won the league by ten points and spent about £80m on that squad. We should be top ten comfortably.
Buzzell Posted 5 February 2017 Posted 5 February 2017 The whole back four needs fvcking off. None of them are good enough at the minute. All need replacing in the summer without a doubt.
lcfcdamo Posted 5 February 2017 Posted 5 February 2017 There is no doubt we should of brought 2 top defenders and an attacking midfielder how we didn't is nothing but a disgrace we got weaker in the transfer how is that possible in our situation who ever fault that was needs to be sacked

Been saying this the whole season.plus I have said Fuchs and DDrinkwater they all had their best and possibly last season. Though DD is younger, By Last october, you saw he'd lost it, but there were no automatic quality stand-ins. I see DD , getting his career back on path, the other 3 however, 2016 was their last hurrah.. Yes they deserved, loyalty reward for this season, but not has guarranteed first choice. Club made grave errors in not re-investing in new players, way back in the summer. The euphoria, made them blind to squad needs. ...Poor business, and leader Qualities from all in management. That said, the players should of still, turned up , at least on showing they want to give more and putting in shifts. Whats crap from today, and since end of Novembet, is the excuse Of giving away the first goal or even first 2. We became the talk of the Premier league, because we never did just lay down and die...We have had some great Comebacks, now that ethos has died, and is well and truelly buried. It seems we neither have the footballing talent,, or mental Talent that characterises true top quality players. Chelsea, Arsenal, Man.utd, Spurs, can fall on form, but have what it takes to pick it up again. Its the poverty of Performances, and lack of the Last ditch will to compete, that hurts.
Guest Col city fan Posted 5 February 2017 Posted 5 February 2017 Why is all the talk about our defence? Yes, as a team, we defend abysmally. But unless I've got something wrong, we ain't scored yet in 2017? We are shite at both ends of the pitch and awful in the middle. This team is dreadful.
VIKTOR-LE5 Posted 5 February 2017 Posted 5 February 2017 Neville an Carragher can puck off about saying Ranieri shouldn't be sacked, it's easy for these two muppets to say as ones a United fan the other Eveton fan, have these. puckers experienced the championship it's one hard slog.This was our chance to establish ourselves as a premiership club instead of being a yo-yo club, if sacking Ranieri is the only way so be it.As much as CR has done for Leicester he's not Leicester born n bred, would he stay loyal to Leicester if just say Chelsea came in for him doubt it. Speaking of average players, Carragher needs to look no futher then himself mug.Simpson 1 PL Carragher 0 PL

ealingfox Posted 5 February 2017 Posted 5 February 2017 This is what hurts the most. Everyone who laughed at us and slagged us off last season has been proved 100% right. We had no right winning the league, we won it because of 1 player and the magic left by a manager we binned for a stupid reason, we got lucky all along the way and we've gone right back where we came from. We're basically the footballing version of Michael Carroll ffs.
Wymsey Posted 5 February 2017 Posted 5 February 2017 Have most of the time have favoured Neville (alongside Quinn) with his down-to-earth analysis. Carragher is alright, but seems to have a chip about us and the fact I have to turn the TV volume louder when he talks in particular to try and understand what he's saying with that strong scouse accent.
smr Posted 5 February 2017 Posted 5 February 2017 They were bang on with those comments. Exactly what ive/we im sure too have all been thinking but they put it very well. Players just arent trying hard enough. Far too laid back and tame. No gritiness like last season. Zero hunger. Morgan and Huth are past it. Too slow and not good enough spatially. Morgans good at blocking and heading generally but apart from that not really. Makes me wonder how much kante carried them last season by sweeping up after them and quite frankly by stopping the ball even getting to them. Infact when i think back to last season ans morgan and huth all i remember is them grappling players during opposition corners and crosses and heading the ball away. First thing they cant do anymore and second thing no kante to cover their arses so theyre just getting sliced apart by men who are more cerebrally gifted and able to expose their weaknesses whether its reading the next thing the ball is going to likely end up at or running etc. I personally feel that the management fears dropping the captain due to him being our captain and the message that might send out but he simply isnt good enough for a top 10 premier league team. Huth is pretty much the same. Nothing says to me on previous form that chilwell doesnt deserve to start over fuchs who has also gone backwards. Mahrez doesnt stick his feet in enough. Drinkwater looks pissed off all the time. Ndidi and gray put more effort in today than the rest of the players combined.

Yeah i know what that chip is, it's because "little Leicester" have won a PL and he hasn't pr!ck.
