He showed several clips of our players hoofing it or passing it back to the keeper instead of making foward passes or to the wings. Other than Keown nobody else in the media have actually diagnosed the problem ie ball retention, recruitment etc. It's been a lot of repetitive talk about Kante and fighting spirit and bollocks like that. I think you're right... who'd have thought keown would be the one to call it. I think we need to play it on the floor... shinji coming short and flicking it to grey or albrighton or even.... if this could happen.... to a runmer from mid field. .. other clubs do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MurphyMagic Posted 13 February 2017 Share Posted 13 February 2017 I cannot stand these people saying we should be happy with what happened last season and just put up with this utter rubbish on a weekly basis. I want to see my team win a game of football, or failing that score a league goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue ROI Posted 13 February 2017 Share Posted 13 February 2017 You can be sure that if the shoe was on the other foot that these people wouldn't be long pointing the finger if it was one of their clubs and asking for change. All talk of what happened before wouldn't come into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arriba Los Zorros Posted 13 February 2017 Share Posted 13 February 2017 The attitude that we have had our moment of glory and have been spoiled by CR and the players, and should accept anything from them now blindly, sickens me. Football fans don't like change, they like having the natural order maintained and neutrals baulk at the idea that we should use last season to push on and establish ourselves in the PL - when in reality any team or even business worth their salt should be striving to constantly build for the future and improve. We gave ourselves the chance to do so and are blowing it big time and as fans are well within our rights to be angry about that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stadt Posted 13 February 2017 Share Posted 13 February 2017 The historical position argument is absolutely wank on planet bullshit. Basically saying that clubs shouldn't have any ambition ever because you can only play at the level of your previous finishes, United should be content with 5th place because they've won the league plenty in the past. Arsenal shouldn't be arsed about winning the league again because they've won it a few times. Burton should be happy just make the numbers in the championship, they shouldn't care about actual results because they're a conference team. The very idea that we should just be happy with whatever now because we won the league is insulting, we turn up to watch pathetic performances every week and then we're entitled because we're not unequivocally content with getting turned over every match day.

Burnley aren't in the relegation zone threatening his dear Sunderland so he probably doesn't feel the need to worry. He talked about Boro being boring too.

Corky Posted 13 February 2017 Share Posted 13 February 2017 We're only making noise on national media because they keep bringing it up and asking for opinions. If you think that fans are going to be happy with a relegation battle in any season then I'm not sure what game you are part of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koke Posted 13 February 2017 Author Share Posted 13 February 2017 Guess who wrote this tosh today (not an ex plsuer). The one and only Coventry fan, Richard Keys. "I've read an awful lot on why Leicester are struggling this season. Apparently it's because they 'over celebrated' last season's title success. Nonsense. Others believe it's because N'golo Kante was sold. Nonsense. His absence hasn't stopped them from progressing to the last 16 of the Champions League, although there is no doubt that he's been missed. He's a terrific little player. Any team would miss his non-stop running and uncanny ability to break up opposition play. So it must be that the boys have downed tools? Nonsense. No they haven't. Ranieri has 'tinkered' too much then? Nonsense. Is it that he's fallen out with too many people? Nonsense. Here's what I believe the problem is. They are simply not very good. What we're seeing now is just about what they are. They're two points better off than they were when they went on that fantastic run of seven wins in nine games to save themselves under Nigel Pearson, the real architect of last season's success. And before you Leicester City fans start screaming 'Sky Blue Scum bag' let me explain myself. After battling to safety under Pearson - and it was without doubt the greatest escape of all time - no-one, absolutely no-one could foresee what was going to happen the following season. Pearson was sacked that summer wasn't he? I expressed serious doubts about Ranieri's appointment, going so far as to predict they'd go down without Pearson's big presence and organisational skills. Quite the opposite happened. Again, Leicester gave us something that will never - ever - be done again. We all smiled as Ranieri shoved the words of people like me back down our throats. Leicester winning the Premier League title was arguably the greatest sporting achievement of all time. It was brilliant. It was breathtaking. And it was so re-freshing. But it was a one-off. It will never be done again. Oh, It wouldn't have been done had Arsenal had some bollocks. They should've won it and Arsene Wenger knows it. They'll never have a better chance again while he's there. Leicester found all the stars aligned just at the right time and they capitalised. Brilliant. I say again, it was a wonderful achievement, but here's why it can't be done again. The 'big six' have have got their act together - that's a major factor. Normal service at the top has been resumed this season and the six of them are only going to get stronger - especially if they can force through a re-distribution of the overseas tv money. Trust me, if they can - and I think they can - they will. So that's one issue, but the main one from Leicester's point of view is that for some reason and somehow a group of 'ordinary' players all performed in an 'extra-ordinary' way. They all produced outstanding 11/10 performances on a weekly basis. As the season went on, belief grew and the impossible became probable before they eventually got it over the line. There's a reason only Kante left the club. The rest, with perhaps one exception, aren't good enough to play for top clubs. They're at Leicester for that reason. Those that started careers at the bigger clubs weren't good enough to stay, so a collection of really good pro's all found themselves in the same place - at the right time - and something very special happened. Morgan and Huth are the wrong side of 30 and won't ever again have a season like they did last time out. Everybody has worked Vardy out. Drinkwater is no more than 'solid' and he's missing his mate. Mahrez is a shadow of himself. Schmeichel is a great lad but again, would he get into any of the top 6 sides? The rest are good players - no more. I do think that there is perhaps a little unrest in the dressing room caused by the fact that some of last season's stars are now earning money beyond their wildest dreams, whilst others have been left behind. That's a factor, but the bottom line is this - Leicester are neither as bad as their league position and form, but they were certainly never as good as last season's title win suggested. Make no mistake - they're in big trouble. Unless something changes, and quickly, I reckon I'll have been a season out - they're going down" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasyls Pec Deck Posted 13 February 2017 Share Posted 13 February 2017 Not going to quote that Keys thing. None of us expected another title charge, or even top 6. Mid table would have been fine, but ultimately all we want is players to wear the blue who care and show some passion and fight. And even that has been lacking in the vast majority of games.

Really getting fed up of hearing this now. It's like being told you can have the best sex ever with Mila Kunis and then afterwards she'll shoot you in the head. Actually, let me think about that analogy for a bit... I honestly cannot believe the amount of people who are saying this. Is it one big joke or something that I'm missing? It's on a par with these "if so and so's shots that hit the bar had gone in they'd be 2nd rather than 8th". We are honestly a laughing stock this country when it comes to football. So fixated on utterly irrelevant things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
