shailen Posted 18 February 2017 Posted 18 February 2017 Last year was so good, the players have let last season get to them and they are clearly arrogant and feel they do not need to try to get results. Back to basics, back to that desire and fight and togetherness, otherwise we are down.
FoxyPalace.com Posted 18 February 2017 Posted 18 February 2017 This is so embarrasing for everyone, the club the fans and the owners.
Carl the Llama Posted 18 February 2017 Posted 18 February 2017 It means less games in our calendar so we can focus on CL and PL, Ranners knows what he's doing. It's all under control.
bovril Posted 18 February 2017 Posted 18 February 2017 Awful management this season. I love him but it's clear he can't turn it around. Shame.
kingfox Posted 18 February 2017 Posted 18 February 2017 Beat by Burnley, Swansea & Millwall in the space of 3-4 weeks. Disgusting, he needs to go before it gets even more embarrassing.

Wycombe all those years ago, Burton Albion in 2012, Rotherham boxing day 2004, needing a late equaliser to scrape a draw at home to doomed yeovil when we were romping to the championship title, 5-1 at forest in 2009? This doesn't even make the top 5 since the turn of the millenium, let alone our full 132 year history.

What makes it exceptionally humiliating is the difference in class and the kind of freefall symbolism as opposed to last season. It results in a very, very bitter pill to swallow. Add to that the amount of money spent last summer on players that haven't had the desired impact. Amateurish, unfortunately.

ealingfox Posted 18 February 2017 Posted 18 February 2017 Please please please fvck off you complete and utter fraud. Absolute embarrassment. From the strongest position we've ever been in he's fashioned one of our worst ever squads.

People who are acting like we couldn't do a simple job are showing themselves to be comically unaware of football - the sort of band-wagoners we'll happily jettison soon. Frustrating to have gone out, even more so like this, but people acting like it was inconceivable are arrogant to the extreme Completely agree with this. Credit to Millwall, they wanted this more and raised their game on an awkward playing surface that they are accustomed to. As tricky as it can be to play against ten men, I do feel that Claudio's decision to pull Kaputska was a mistake, then replace Wague with Wasil a tactically poor decision. I'd sooner he'd gone three at the back, pulling in Amartey and all out attack with a W/B system. Vardy for Gray was also perplexing.
Wymsey Posted 18 February 2017 Posted 18 February 2017 Today was a MASSIVE opportunity to get to next stage after them being down to ten. Probably even more disgusted it was Millwall of all clubs but the only way, don't know how, is up.
FoxyPalace.com Posted 18 February 2017 Posted 18 February 2017 I blame the owners for this. Literally the whole season this has been happening. The Thai's have been great investment wise, they run the club better than any owners we have ever had. But they seem a little naive with this loyalty crap, man up Top pay off Ranieri. Your investment is going down the Pan. Would ravour have Shakey manage if we cannot get anybody else in just yet.

So have I - and all I can say is you were fortunate to have obviously missed Pleat and Levein during that time.
Cropwellfox Posted 18 February 2017 Posted 18 February 2017 Ranieri's substitutions were appalling, the lacklustre attitude of the players just as bad. We've been absolutely let down by the scouting and decision making of Rudkin and what the hell Macia has been doing since he got here god alone knows. Losing in the cup can happen. Losing in that manner, with that team of so called hungry players desperate to get into the first team plans, against a team who played in midweek and played a half with 10 men? Utterly unforgivable. Claudio was part of something special. He's now at risk of leaving his legacy as the man who dismantled the champions. Please walk Claudio.
steflcfc Posted 18 February 2017 Posted 18 February 2017 It's been a Circus since pre season and the comedy keeps on giving. Everyone involved within the clubs playing staff have became a laughing stock this season. Poor signings Musa and Mendy will never be premiership players a waste of 30 odd million! Oka isn't and never been a quality striker and King is just a fill in player. You can see why Ranieri cannot make changes in the Prem as all the players we just seen that started the game looked average against a league 1 team playing with a quarter of the game with 10 men. Our club has hit a low I didn't think we would hit after the wonders of last season. No ideas or confidence in Any of the playing staff they all are extremely low on motivation and fight. Ranieri will carry the can! and so he should, as this season across the season it's become a joke to watch unfold. Yes he can't control what happens once the players step over the white line, but i feel all respect between the players and Ranieri has long disappeared

Not arguing it's not embarrassing, but it's not as monumental a cock-up as others: any question of it being straight forward went out the window when it was revealed we'd be playing on whatever excuse their groundsman has for that rather than a pitch. Even then, people acting like this is the lowest we've ever sunk are guilty of forgetting that there was 131 years of history before last season where we pulled this sort of thing off every couple of years. 4 minutes ago, lozzyblue fox said: milwall had 10 men and we are (were) prem champions so makes my top 1 Then you don't know the first thing about our history.
