thursday_next Posted 18 February 2017 Share Posted 18 February 2017 I've got an infected tooth, and as a result of that look like I've been given a massive punch in my face. A classic Millwall experience and I didn't have to leave my living-room. That's cool, in a way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worse than Holloway, worse than McClintock worse than Hamilton, worse than Levein and even worse than Taylor. The ineptness and frankly clueless way were are set up the awful recruitment, the terrible substituitons, the failure to motivate players, the waffle in press conferences the apparent complete inabilitiy to do anything at all combined with the record investment made by the club in new players, a top sports science team, excellent training facilities plus the total and utter fall from the heights of last season make this the most catastrophic perfomance by a Leicester City manager probably in the history of the club. I am starting to question what on earth he did last season. Did he actually do anything because at the moment it is hard to believe it. This is the most humiliating FA cup defeat since we lost away to non league Harlow Town and I'm not taking anything away from Millwall. And yet he keeps his job and I keep hearing he deserves the Seville match, he deserves this that and the other. No he doesn't the only thing he deserves is the sack. He has presided over one of the most embarrasing and humiliating seasons in our history and been well rewarded for it. He's hopeless and should have gone in November when we might have had time to change things round now I fear it is too late. What makes it worse for me today is that he clearly didn't want to win the match? Why on earth not? Apart form winning becoming a habit it is a bloody insult to all those fans who follow them and pay good money to watch and support the club. His substitutions combined with his pre-match press conference show me this man just couldn't give a **** about the Fa cup or our chances of progressing as if having to play one more match will make the slightest bit of difference to a side that is in free fall and owners who appear content to let it happen. And to Ranieri, that is exactly when the word "tainted" becomes relevant. The "T" word will have nothing to do with the club, nothing to do with the players, nothing to do with the fans, nothing to do with Kante, nothing to do with Pearson, nothing to do with lifting the Trophy, nothing to do with the greatest sporting achievement of all time. It will rest on Ranieri's shoulders, people forever asking the eternal question what did he really do? That is so sad, yet it will be his epitaph. No matter what, everybody herein will, rightly question, what did he really do? Let me future proof this, right or wrong, what did he really do?, that will taint last season for him only.

Ted Maul Posted 18 February 2017 Share Posted 18 February 2017 Ranieri OUT. No other option now, we're f****d if he stays. Thanks for the memories, now kindly do one so we don't have to taint it by sacking you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HankMarvin Posted 18 February 2017 Share Posted 18 February 2017 Leicester's tally of 12 shots in the first half was their most in the first 45 minutes of any game this season - however, only one of these was on target. Leicester City failed to score for the seventh time in 10 competitive games in 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HankMarvin Posted 18 February 2017 Share Posted 18 February 2017 Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri: "I am very disappointed. We played well in the first half, so-so at the beginning of the second until it went to 10 v 11. After then they played better than us, with more desire and heart and deserved to win. "When we have the opportunity to go to the next round, we have to win. We have to show desire. I gave a great opportunity to my players. "We can learn. When a team from League One beats the champions we say why and have to react as soon as possible. We are better than Millwall, but Millwall deserved to win."

Blue'nWhiteFox Posted 18 February 2017 Share Posted 18 February 2017 To look at todays defeat from the bright side: This could be the best result for us as we now can consentrate much better on all the upcoming CL matches, and also to win enough matches in PL to be a part of PL next season.

There are 2 Claudios the one that doesn't have to change anything the second one where he has to do his job one reaps the benefits So…. He didn't do anything last year, bar take advantage of s half useful team? He takes no credit at all? His tactical changes, team selection and management of a high pressure situation were just a happy accidents? Are you sure you want to make that statement before you really embarrass yourself?

It's my opinion and criticism where criticism is due. One of the worst years in your life as a city fan? Come on, I went to the game, it was a total shambles and I'm gutted but a premier league relegation battle is probably par or slightly above par for most city fans when they look back at their time supporting the club. FYI - Not defending the club in anyway here, just don't think this is one of the worst seasons in my life (2004 to 2008 all worse imo). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthStandUpperTier Posted 18 February 2017 Share Posted 18 February 2017 All the memorabilia from last season - the books, the DVD's, the souvenir edition newspapers - I can't even bring myself to look at them at the moment. Think I might pack them away for a good 15-20 years and then bring them out when I can truly appreciate them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deep blue Posted 18 February 2017 Share Posted 18 February 2017 59 minutes ago, The Guvnor said: So we are playing against a 10 man Millwall and CR's genius tactics is to replace Wague with Wasilewski instead of Vardy which proves the fear of losing has completely taken over any rationale, fcuk knows how many Sevilla will put past us I really expect a 7 goal thumping will only be about even money. What message does it give to a squad whose confidence is shot when, against 10 men, he makes timid, defensive changes to play for a draw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARM1968 Posted 18 February 2017 Share Posted 18 February 2017 It was considered a fluke last season by everyone but us. Seems even the players believed it. This will make the media happy. We are where we belong, except we don't and the players we have can offer more than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry, but this is nonsense. Peter Taylor bought Ade Akinbiyi, Trevor Chamberlain and Junior fvking Lewis, FFS. Ranieri has proved that he doesn't have Pearson's or Steve Walsh's eye for a great player - he proved that with his comment last season that he was reluctantly persuaded to sign Kanté by Walsh. For all that, he has still not bought anyone as dire as Akinbiyi, Chamberlain or Lewis. Thankfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I disagree simply because the club is in much better shape financially than it was then and this season has fallen even further. I personally don't think there is much to choose between Akinbiyi and Musa. With he "tools" at his disposal I think Ranieri has done a far worse job this season than Taylor. However, it is worrying how similar both season are! On Junior Lewis I agree though Mendy cost £14million more and frankly doesn't look a lot better.

Johnthefoxrayner Posted 18 February 2017 Share Posted 18 February 2017 47 minutes ago, Thracian said: Against Swansea, Chelsea and Southampton we hardly created anything. Against Derby we created enough to score goals and miss a few. Today seemed just the same - we created chances but no-one took them. The game could and should have been over and done with well before the end. I said beforehand we'd be better with a three-man midfield but, in the event, two served to be the foundation for quite enough attacks and chances to have won. Every plan needs to allow for the opposition scoring because human error can creep in at any time and more especially in a disrupted defence.
