berniethebolt Posted 6 February 2017 Posted 6 February 2017 Please feel free to merge where required. http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11712/10758350/leicester-players-backing-claudio-ranieri-says-demarai-gray Pleased to see this if true. For this to come from Gray, someone who I feel could be a frustrated soul is a good sign. Time for our leaders to step up and shake a few..... including themselves!.... and the staff..... and the manager.
TMELcfc Posted 6 February 2017 Posted 6 February 2017 Not going to say anything else. The players clearly don't back Ranieri as they gave up yesterday, walked about the pitch. That's not a team who back the manager and once Swansea have beaten us he will go. Can't see the owners taking anymore humiliations
Dan Posted 6 February 2017 Posted 6 February 2017 Misleading headline. Quote the Ranieri backing in that.
Koke Posted 6 February 2017 Posted 6 February 2017 The amount of clichés and buzzwords Gray could fit into one interview is impressive. Jesus Christ!!! "We're all together, we're all behind each other. We have to back each other in the changing room," said Gray. "We'll stay together, get back on the training ground, work on what we need to and keep doing our best on the weekends." "We know we're a good team and it just hasn't worked for us yet. We haven't got going. "We get a game plan, stick to the game plan and hopefully we get the points." "I think it's been a little bit of a problem with us this season," said Gray. "Once we conceded it kind of knocks us back, but it is one of them ones where we have to take the defeat and just keep pushing on now."
Guest Lako42 Posted 6 February 2017 Posted 6 February 2017 I'm fed up of hearing hollow words, I want to SEE the ****ing action now. No more bullshit media interviews please LCFC
norwichfox Posted 6 February 2017 Posted 6 February 2017 Not sure what he means by "We're all together, we're all behind each other. We have to back each other in the changing room," said Gray., that kind of implies something isn't quite righrt in the dressing room....maybe it's a spin off from displeasure by some players not getting games? I'm probably trying to read too much into a "throw away" comment.
shen Posted 6 February 2017 Posted 6 February 2017 We know footballers aren't the brightest people on this planet. All these comments scream that the players need some help coaching them through this spell. Ranieri seems oblivious to this. They all just say "man up" or words to that extent. It's such a neanderthal way of thinking. They're basically admitting they're clueless as to how to stop the rut. It's like listening to Rob Kelly all over again about redoubling our efforts in training. It's astonishing really, because Ranieri seemed to know exactly how to treat the players to get the best out of them last season, but he's stuck in old-fashioned thinking if he doesn't believe they need professional help sorting out their mental issues. That's why I think he needs to go.

Good ol' Demarai has clearly been spending his time sitting on the bench reading "The Big Bumper Book of Clichés: Footballer's Edition," they're nothing but meaningless platitudes.

On the contrary, they give us quite a lot. It shows us they're clueless. They do not have it in them to turn things around. They won't suddenly start getting confident by 'manning up' or 'standing up and being counted'.
sylofox Posted 6 February 2017 Posted 6 February 2017 It stinks of world war three has kicked off but I've been told to tell you everything is fine.

filbertway Posted 6 February 2017 Posted 6 February 2017 Gray's a young man who plays football for a living, I imagine most basically just replicate what they've seen on tv. There aren't many players with an individual intelligent opinion, never mind being brave enough to actually state it. If he said anything but clichés and rubbish I have no doubt people will be reading into his comments. It's bad enough that people stalk the guy's twitter looking for stuff to slate him about. Just so people know, players will be interviewed again this season, probably quite regularly. So I probably wouldn't get worked up about them when you know what's coming 90% of the time. That's not aimed at you by the way @Koke by the way haha, I just assume you were simply pointing out how clichéd it was.
J.Lisemore Posted 6 February 2017 Posted 6 February 2017 Yay another player telling us what they're gonna do but then we lose again
LCFC hub Posted 6 February 2017 Posted 6 February 2017 Ranieri if he wants to somehow save his job needs to grow a pair and drop some of these players. They are letting him down. Either that or he will lose his job

Last season Vardy couldn't do a post match interview without saying "back to the training ground" lolol I also feel a bit sorry for CR. His interviews are being slagged off (even by me) but his English is very limited. He repeats himself a lot cos his vocabulary isn't great.
EnglishOxide Posted 6 February 2017 Posted 6 February 2017 Chelsea players came out with the same shit defending Mourinho last season. They are told to by the PR men. Not worth taking notice of.

The Sky interview with Kasper yesterday was more of an individual intelligent opinion, rather than the standard cliché's that usually get trotted out to the media.
foxy boxing Posted 6 February 2017 Posted 6 February 2017 in public they are not going to say anything else other than they totally back Claudio 100% but in private and to their family and friends is a totally different matter.the fact is people most probably journalists will always get to the truth and to the situation that is really going on at the club. there just isn't enough hiding places anymore and the cracks will always be revealed sooner or later

Yep, I was going to use that as an example of a senior player who actually has his own thoughts and is in a position where he's confident enough to say them.

Well, he only spoke the truth really, and I'd be happy enough saying that, knowing that either manager or kasper won't be here come July, most probably both. Kasper has plenty of options, the 1st one being, following walsh to Everton.
Benguin Posted 6 February 2017 Posted 6 February 2017 Hardly going to say: "We all hate each other and Claudio is a willy puller" is he. Until I see it on the pitch it's bollocks
