Laughing 'fans'

[Free Falling Foxes]

Assuming they're not trolls - they're certainly not fans, who post things like Hahaha and when we make a **** up. It somehow manages to make a bad situation worse.

Cvnts!

It makes me that annoyed, I'm tempted to listen to Stringer instead.

It’s probably a release of frustration, some people do it when they’re raging inside, I wouldn’t read too much into it. 

[spacemunky]

I think it's what some people do out of frustration, as a way to deal with it.

I just wish I could laugh. I'm angry but not with the players.

Then if not with the players who? 

[Lesta2014]

Couldn’t care less, most of them are big 6 ****** from leics who love to hate us. Wouldn’t know supporting a real team if it slapped them in the face!

The smarmy fraudster of a supposed manager.

Hmm a bit harsh I think from today. Only mistake he made today was taking Nacho off. Otherwise I thought the tactics were right, just the players let him down (not able to finish and making individual errors)

So taking Iheanacho off and then just shoving everyone else on panic style when we go one goal down is a considered super management decision? It has Steve McClaren written all over it.

I'm not saying it was super management. I believe he was trying to keep it tight against a united team who play counter attack probably until around 75 mins and then go for it. If we could have finished and we didn't make indivual errors (which he cannot control) we would be sat here saying that he got it tactically spot on. 

 

Look I'm not saying I think BR is the best manager out there. I'm saying that actually the players also need to shoulder a lot of the blame. Yes he made is a mistake with Nacho I cannot argue there, but as mentioned, finish some of the many chances we had and its a different conversation

Absolute disgrace of a manager, taking us from 5th when he took over to 12th where we are now and out of Europe.

 

No, wait.........

[volpeazzurro]

I thought with what he had available to him, his starting team and tactics were sound. The performance first half was good and either side could have taken a lead. But ... notwithstanding that to win he may need to force the issue later, both me and my son predicted the woeful first change but, if right, why after such a short time after half time, stinks more of wanting to be seen as a masterful tactician than wanting to win a game. Then,  one goal conceded and panic stations.

I might use this tactic from now on, these ABH charges are having a serious impact on my prospects.

To be fair, you were banging the Puel out drum after he took us from 17th to 9th...

Not exactly comparing apples with apples though eh?

Also, we were 14th when he arrived and 12th when he left.

[FoxCal]

I’m guilty of this.

 

But be fair, after the end to the season we’ve had, if I didn’t laugh, I’d probably cry.

 

*Edit*
 

I resent the idea that I’m not a ‘fan’ though. Season ticket holder of 18 years, was there at Stoke. Sometimes things are so Leicester City, that there really isn’t any other reaction you can have. As soon as he came on I knew Lingard was going to score today.

Rodgers bottled a 14 point lead and we finished 4 points behind United. That's an 18 points swing. You can spin it any way you like but that's abysmal and Rodgers has a lot to answer for.

We were 17th before Appelton won at Swansea. Point is you were anti Puel from the start and wanted him out even though he finished his first season in 9th.

18 point swing from the THIRD HIGHEST PAID MANAGER IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE

Is it not? We were 12th when Puel left, but plenty were calling for his head when we were 8th. Both started well and dropped off, there are similarities there.

 

I'm not saying we shouldn't have sacked him, the time was right and he wasn't going to take us any higher- but I see people's concerns with Rodgers. This last 7 months has been horrendous.

 

Out of interest, as someone with access to opinions within the game, what's your assessment on Congerton? Think we're in good hands to build in the transfer window?

[Pliskin]

Part of football, no point getting in a tizz about it, we take the piss out of Spurs and their incredible third place season (and we’re above them, again). We will be laughing next season once we win the premier league, Europa league, FA cup, league cup and Vardy finishes above Kane again in the goal scoring charts. 

[Corky]

Any comparison with Puel should include the fact the players couldn't stand him. Rodgers has been widely praised for his man-management and, although I'm not convinced it's a settled, happy environment, the atmosphere should be much better.

 

Which makes this collapse and total change of our style of play even more galling.

[Jaspa]

Can't really do much else than laugh at Lingard scoring against us like that, right at the end of the season.

 

Thought it was ok these days anyway, Chilly seemed in jokey mood when we turned in another limp dick performance in the FA Cup against Chelsea.

I always value your posts, genuinely and it's very ok that we can at times differ, hopefully without offence on either side.

My response in this instance would be that the previous incumbent inherited a far different and more difficult camp than Rodgers.  The players, or some of them at least,  had been ill bought and were mismatched, no real attacking midfielder or playmaker of note for example. A few players just  like in Pearsons time, for certain reasons, needed moving on. Of course, certain players and friendships are going to be hurt and disgruntled over this, but its business and happens every day in the real world.  Some couldn't be moved on due to a combination of being too expensive and nobody wanted them, they just weren't good enough, we were lumbered. He oversaw or at least was present during some very decent signings but, after his hatchet jobs and alleged not too great man management skills he departed whatever.

 

Rodgers had none of that to contend with when he arrived and inherited an excellent, mainly young squad. Until he got his now renowned philosophical claws into them, they were doing absolutely fine and playing with both confidence and freedom. His tinkering and bizarre at times tactics around Christmas time eventually started to take their toll. See Liverpool and Celtic,  their supporters tell a very similar story. Rodgers is merely repeating what some of them that have come on here have prophesicised quite some time ago now.

 

My grief is not merely the failure of not attaining Champions League football,  more importantly,  after such an unprecedented slide in results,  what future bodes for us next season and beyond if this man and Congerton spend the clubs money to try and make an already failed and now outmoded philosophy of football work?

To repeat: We were 14th when Puel took over and 12th when he left.

Puel caused havoc behind the scenes, unlike the current manager who of course has take his fair share of criticism for the second half of this season.

I wasn't anti-Puel from the start ... I was buzzing after those first eight games and wished he could've continued in that vein!!

But by the following March, things I could see with my own eyes on the pitch, coupled with a flow of stories off the pitch, made me start to question.

There are concerns with Rodgers but nowhere near on the same scale as Puel.

If our struggles run deep into next season then we should reassess obviously.

As for Congerton, don't know too much about him.
