KFS 3,289 Posted 28 February Report Share Posted 28 February Just now, Aus Fox said: For a start this season and last season are two seperate season, and what happened last season has zero barring on what happens this season. Aus Fox I’m sorry but this is simple law of averages. The independent variables are literally the same as last season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve called BR on it numerous times, but it has worked time and time again, last 3 months particularly. Not that I don’t dislike it as a tactic, but you’re factually wrong.

lcfceaves 719 Posted 28 February Report Share Posted 28 February Last three games of the season are a joke as well. Injuries playing a big part of it, but after 2 years in the job and you still stick with zonal marking that’s clearly not working, you obviously aren’t all that. Everyone else can see it. Doing well for ‘little old Leicester’ but can’t accept the same things constantly happening. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In general we will always opt for a defensive setup and try and sneak a goal rather than just playing the attacking game we do so well. We are third like in the league Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DennisNedry 1,104 Posted 28 February Report Share Posted 28 February Thinking about the likes of Nacho and Under being given 90 minutes for the foreseeable makes me feel sick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Leicester_Loyal 5,951 Posted 28 February Report Share Posted 28 February I really really hope we still have enough to finish top 6 and get Europa, I'll be absolutely gutted if we don't get to do a European tour next year after missing this year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well I don't agree. I think under Rodgers, Leicester are totally a confidence team. And in the two years he's been here, every time we've hit a slump in terms of result and effort, he's not turned it around and we've drifted that way until season closure. Mentally we are weak when up against it and thats been proven time and time again. So whilst you say this season isn't comparable to last, I still ask the same question, why do you think it will be different this time? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Matt 4,881 Posted 28 February Report Share Posted 28 February I'd like to think we have but i've seen no evidence of it (I guess you wouldn't expect to either) but if we havn't get a ****ing psychologist in there. Seriously gotta question our mentality when the going gets tough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cardiff_Fox 6,515 Posted 28 February Report Share Posted 28 February I think zonal marking doesn’t work but you’ll probably find it’s a symptom of the lack of training time. We can’t do full set piece sessions analysing other teams threats, so we’ve stuck with zonal marking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NaijaFox 1,350 Posted 28 February Report Share Posted 28 February (edited) The return of the DOOM-AND-GLOOM crowd... We'll be just fine, thank you! We'll scrape out results until the international break, and then get some key players back. Edited 28 February by NaijaFox 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Corky 14,455 Posted 28 February Report Share Posted 28 February Last season we had three months off and continued the negative football. This time we've played in 6 consecutive midweeks with players out and coming back and all that disruption. They've worked their bollocks off this season and have done superbly until the last two games. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NaijaFox 1,350 Posted 28 February Report Share Posted 28 February Meanwhile, now is the time for Under to earn his coins. He will likely get a run of games now, without looking over his shoulder. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It is the way we play. The mentality. The lack of wanting to win, be fearless, that is most worrying. Come on Rodgers, learn from past mistakes. You can get it right.

NaijaFox 1,350 Posted 28 February Report Share Posted 28 February Substantively no different from the Leeds game... Started well, fell off the rails and lost convincingly. We will bounce back just we we did then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JamesWelshFox 117 Posted 28 February Report Share Posted 28 February We ae going to struggle with the injuries we have at the moment, because we are stripped of any creativity and running power at the top end of the pitch. Means the ball comes back at us a lot quicker, and defending against anyone in this league for large chunks of a game is always a struggle. Rogers wanted another creative midfielder in the Maddison mould last summer because without him we are much less effective and it has shown instantly in the last 2 games, but Maddison type players don't come cheap. We finished today with 6 players on the pitch not long back from serious injuries, or injuries that affect running power. and Fuchs at the back. We then get width and forward momentum from Castagne and Periera out wide. Ndid and Tielemans stay where they are, and I'd try Albrighton in behind Vardy. Would give my right arm for Ulloa to partner Vardy right now though. Tough ride to the end of the season but time to see how much we have matured, who can cut it and who can't, and to grind out some results. Might be an opportunity for one or two youngsters to show a little. Tavares is one I could stand to see a bit more of to the end of the season. Shame KDH didn't have a recall in his loan contract. January was impossible for significant signings and it will be a difficult summer for everyone bar the real money bags at the top. We have a top manager, we are enjoying some good years, years I never thought to see. It could be worse, I feel for the Sheff Utd fans. Decent bunch enduring a dire season. I'll take whatever we end up with this season, because keep the squad together, get them fit, and a couple of decent additions, and there are more good years to come for this team.

NaijaFox 1,350 Posted 28 February Report Share Posted 28 February Just as with the tail end of last season... The last 2 games reminds us of the importance of Madders, if ever a reminder was needed. SPEEDY RECOVERY BOYS!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt 4,881 Posted 28 February Report Share Posted 28 February (edited) For the past 3 seasons (Inc this one) we've seemed to write the season off and treat the end of the season as a long pre season it's no wonder we come out the traps so fast a look so impressive for the first half of seasons. Someone just needs to work out how we can finish seasons properly and not be the new bottlejobs. Edited 28 February by Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think that's true. Last season's collapse must have made some impression psychologically. The players are only human, if we have a couple more bad results, last season's tail off is bound to make them wonder if lightning might strike twice. Next couple of games are massive.
