 Our first 11 could win the league, but the players behind unfortunately are poor

Our squad is a lot better than people give it credit for.

 

As I said initially, our squad and ability of some of our first team are as good as anyone in this league, our manager is not. He’s an overrated media darling whose done an ok job with a very good set of players.

 

 

[Stadt]

Taking a completely cold, detached view we’ve progressed well as a club. Despite a horrific run of form last season we’ve bounced back reasonably but as a fan it’s not been particularly enjoyable. 
 

We lost to a worse Villa side to miss out on a first cup final in 20 years, capitulated a 14 point lead for a champions league place and have played some abysmal football in the process.

 

Moving into a new training ground and keeping the squad intact are the main positives.

Exactly. We’re relying too much on our first team. Any time we are weaker we lose points. I can tell every single game after the line up if we are going to struggle or not.

So my point remains on that.

On BR he makes too many mistakes as stated above.

Hes managed very poorly in nearly every game this season he’s tinkered.

His choices have cost us in nearly every game we’ve lost.

Only Villa and possibly Liverpool has his choices not contributed to our losses imo.

West Ham and Fulham were coming as soon as he put the line up out.

Everton he cost us the game dropping Ndidi to CB and bringing Mendy in.

He should of cost us vs Utd by stupidly not reacting to Utds change in the 2nd half.

Palace he also cost us.

Hes been poor in so many games. He even set up wrong vs Sheffield Utd and got bailed out vs the worst team I’ve ever seen in the Prem.

 

He is imo a guy I like and want to stay for now but I can’t ignore these issues and if they continue I want him gone. I’m losing faith in him taking this squad to what they are capable of.

You're unbelievable fella. You flat out contradicted yourself within a 30 minute timeframe, and you took me pointing that out as an endorsement.

Brilliant .... I don’t mean all the performances or decisions made as some have been terrible. We finished last season 5th our second highest Premier league finish and qualified for Europe even with a few injuries and a stop start season because of covid .Then this season we got some cracking players in and  have managed to stay in the top 4 pretty much all season, topped our group in Europe all with a congested programme of games,  covid and loads of injuries that would cripple most teams .Add to this our new £100 million training ground has just opened the future is looking pretty bright . 

Short & well put..  few seemed to have grasped, How well we have actually done & what a Good manager we have....

The First 13-16, players seem good enough to see us compete in the Top 5 bracket....but 2-4 knocks, leaves us Short on quality.

Last 12 months has proved that, even nursing and hiding the problems, Leaves us still short...

But by god we have done bloody well. Shame that some cant Read between the lines,or even do their homework on Teams availability & troubles.

 

The New Training ground,will Need Two years before we Really See it paying its way in product,but present staff will be given a lift & thoughts towards

their clubs ambitions...They might like to wait & enjoy the potential exciting ride..!!

 

we have to also learn to give the manager some space & recognise hes due some respect in Handling those hidden injury  issues disturbing consistent

strong Team selection...Not over a 2-3 week period,but started to get chronic last season...!!!

Bloody 3rd & some still Dont get it...!! 

 Right of opinion doesn't cut it in these times..!! Just People being ridiculously  obstroculus.

 

So Fly Great Baldeagle fly..!!

Not contradicted myself at all. I’m allowed to think BR has been poor but not then go crazy and want him sacked.

All you do is try and police the board , I’ve not once heard you state any kind of opinion yourself. Your a very strange fella.

You did. It's there for anyone to see in your opinion of the squad quality. I've stated plenty of opinions, if you can be bothered to read.

If you actually try understanding the overall concept and read my entire message the lightbulb might work in your head.
Our squad quality is good as a sum of all the parts combined in the 25, bit strip the 11 out then it’s very weak. The fact I used the word ‘squad’ doesn’t mean I was talking about guys 12-25 . A squad is all 25. We are a strong 25 but a weak 12-25. Take out about 6/7 players and we are bottom half. We have a few top players that turn a weak/average group into a good group.

 

What you’ve brought up is the fact I’ve said ‘our first 11 could win the league but the players behind are poor’ which I will confirm I do in fact still think this.

and then that I said our squad is good and mainly our ability of our first 11 is as good as anyone. Which is also true.

Our squad is 25 players, this includes our 11 first teamers , so am I not allowed to use the word squad for the entirety?
What your doing (and do nearly all the time) is your trying to be the grammar police because you don’t have an opinion and enough knowledge to actually argue the points stated and rather attack on something to try and get some rep points.

Ive read lots of posts on here from people giving interesting responses, yet you live your entire life on here with 10s of thousands of posts, yet I’ve not read 1 single post of yours that actually suggests you know anything about Leicester. I don’t even know if you watch the games.

We've also played some fantastic football.

[Manini]

Another positive to add to those above Is how well Justin has developed. Was talking to my dad earlier and we were both saying how much he’s impressed us. He’s been really solid so far this season (bar a couple of shaky performances early on) I like him a lot and I’m glad we signed him.

Many congratulations Casablacas, both for the job and your engagement, may your good luck continue.

Thanks bud. Appreciated

In December 2019, we were 1/7 shots to finish in the top 4.

 

When Liverpool beat Man City 2013/14 season and the prophetic Gerrard rallying cry of "we must not let this slip",  they were 2/13 shots to win the title. On both occasions, Rodgers was at the helm - an unhappy coincidence.

 

We therefore bottled it last season more than Liverpool did in their infamous "Gerrard slip" season, purely from an odds perspective. And make no bones about it, that ending to our 2020 season was horrendous, and the players and coaching staff *did* collectively bottle it, and to an embarrassing extent.

 

I understand all the counter arguments - punching above our weight/over performing, youth/inexperience, key injuries at crucial stages, table doesn't lie at the end of the season. But I still think we should have still managed to get over the line (top 4) based on the phenomenal position we had put ourselves in at the end of 2019. 

 

That we've made such a decent start to this season, with some memorable away performances,  particularly Leeds and Man City,  gives grounds for optimism that we can carry those level of performances through to 2021 and push for top 4, and not tail off as disasterously as we did this year.

 

We're 2nd now and a lot of folk currently defending Rodgers are saying exactly that. See above - table doesn't lie at the end of the season. You can't have it both ways.

[Guest Chocolate Teapot]

When we're good we're very good.

When we're bad we're ****ing shite.

 

This squad and club has so much potential and we can all see it, hence why there's so much debate about everything.

 

Another good couple of transfer windows and holding onto our best players (and manager) and the big 6 could be a thing of the past.

 

 

[Vazman]

Ups and downs in 2020 like everyone else.

 

In football terms; I'm staying on the Foxes bus, as it's on the right road, is picking up some great talent along the way, has some decent stops along the way, the Trg centre being one, some great results, with a couple of bad ones aswel. 

 

However once the bus becomes finely tuned, and picks up a bit more talent, I can see some silverware sat on the front seat next to BR. Come on the Foxes let's have a positive 2021...

[Cadno'r Cymoedd]

The start of the year and the end of the extended last season, losing out on CL, were largely painful. This season is where almost every club has been up and down and we're certainly no exception.

 

With a full squad we'll be fine and should push for CL, and we've a strong basis to build on. Great to see JJ and Luke Thomas progress, Amartey back and players like Mendy at last get into his stride. Still too dependent on Vardy though. Off field, the new facility looks top notch. Building for the future is vital. 

 

So more plusses than minuses despite the disappointments.

I feel we are on the right road with Brendan but just need more consistency to take us to the next level. As my old School Report used to state, "could do better"!!
