I just find this forum strange, booing/whistling  at football has been happening for god knows how long. People Booing Burnley for time wasting and people on here are questioning why people boo ? I mean it makes me think alot of people have jumped on a band wagon probably use to to go down welford road before 2016. 
 

Sheff United 1996 at home some of you on here would had needed therapy after that game. 

[tickler28]

Many of us on here have experienced the worst of Leicester and our biggest expectation not so long ago used to be getting out of the Championship and staying in the Premier League....I know that expectations change but let's not delude ourselves....we've been punching well above our weight for a couple of seasons now. I've always said that when we win we're not as good as we think we are and when we lose we're not as bad as we think we are...we are what we are.

 

It's such fine margins that make you a successful side....in the past we've had issues getting Vardy scoring....issues breaking down a deep block....had issues defending set pieces.....right now I see 2 major issues that are causing our problems....the defence we have....its basically no better than 15 other premier league teams and looks leaky and disjointed....the assurance of Evans and class of Fofana have gone and what we're left with is deeply concerning....its a fact....second issue is our 2 creative players are unsettled....Maddison with his form and confidence and Tielemans with the contract situation....neither are hitting the heights of players we want to consider in the £75-80 million bracket. This is hugely costly to us as we don't have the luxury of being able to pull both players out and be the same side....right now I agree Nacho starts ahead of Maddison and getting Evans back fit and playing ASAP coupled with starting Castagne should see us improve our results.

fans can be entitled after ongoing success, Cup and top 6 etc. Other teams won't lie down and be beaten and the emergence of Villa, Everton, West Ham and Brighton for instance may result in City being a mid table side something we would have delighted in just a few seasons ago.

I don't think it's quite as simple as that, though I still wouldn't boo personally. 

1. It's not just 5 games into the season, it's been since last Christmas.

2. That 5th place finish could have easily have been half way had it not been for the performances and goals of Iheanacho. Rodgers seems to again marginalised as he did before, why? Yet he plays Perez and an out of form Maddison. It isn't working. 

3. The cup final was great but we were extremely fortunate thankfully.

Their is an identity crisis currently. Slow possession based football with limited end product has slipped in. Yesterday gave us a glimpse of having 2 effective wide outlets which most would agree is long overdue. Contrast that with a defence now that looks shaky at best, conceding roughly 2 goals a game on average. So we start to correct one aspect as we suffer another.

 

We look incredibly easy to get at and susceptible to set pieces and ball over top. Seen a few saying we need to leave Wilf deep and protect. How does he stop an incoming set piece or 60 yard ball over the top?

 

We need to keep attacking outlets wide now and if we can get Nacho involved more often. Defensively it is what it is, this is where the coaching team need to earn their corn.

.....if we are being done by a 60 yard ball over the top then we are playing too higher a line!!!

  Set pieces are what they are, we tend to  be poor in the positions we take up and who we match up to.

  Pushing your Fullbacks on only leaves you short of pace at the back.

  Vestergaard needed cover yesterday.

1. Football is played in seasons not years. Last season is over. Plus between those 5 games and now we have won the FA Cup and Community Shield.

2. "could have" are key here. You could apply "could have" to every single game and every single team.

3. Who gives a fvck. That's how cup competitions go and certainly how finals go. Over 120 mins in the 2012 Champions League final, which Chelsea won, Chelsea had 9 shots to Bayern's 35. So I'm guessing "fortunate" is applied there.  I am frustrated at people who keep saying we were lucky to win the FA Cup. You think every other team ever hasn't been "lucky" to win the FA Cup (or any cup)? 

 

I do think people have a right to criticise, and I have recently defended my own criticism of Rodgers as he has issues which he hasn't addressed yet, but booing your own players is not justifiable.

Terrible start to the season. Playing like relegation fodder. Slow, laboured. Stubborn persistence with only ever playing it short and slow. Ignoring effective long balls when they are on. Not utilising the pace of the front 3 and wing backs by continuing to play puel ball. Players not looking bothered. Lack of hunger/desire across the pitch. Terrible recruitment, no left footed right winger but a donkey of a defender, a cm that we didn’t need (then loaned out praet, just to demonstrate we didn’t need a cm), and a striker that didn’t score 2 goals with a few touches on his debut. Throwing away champions league football two years running for many of the reasons stated above. It’s now or never, we have to get champions league this year. Anything less is completely unacceptable being as we’ve thrown it away 2 years on the trot. Lessons need to be learned and improvement needs to be made. On the evidence we have seen so far, I don’t think many can be confident.

We all spend a hell of a lot of time and money following our team, and have every right to be unhappy.

Absolutely agree with the booing, it can't help whatsoever. If Maddison is brought on to the field of play, whether we agree or not, it's the managers decision and encouraging the player low on confidence is the only way to help. 

 

Yes, football is played in seasons but, to continue from one season to the next using the same style/system and repeating the same mistakes that cost dearly previously isn't going to be a recipe for success. Therefore it isn't wrong to highlight it, arguably it may be wrong to merely bury one's head in the sand and just presume it will just come right in the end. Mistakes need to be acknowledged, lessons learned and not just stubbornly repeated and that goes for anything in life really, just in my opinion. 

[MrsJohnMurphy]

Maybe those booing could pass a note to the dugout beforehand 

 

" Just to make it clear, we as the fans are booing the decision to make this particular substitution rather than the player coming on, we wouldn't want anyone especially the player to think we are not supporting the team.

 

I hope that clears everything up.

 

Kind regards The Fans"

[adejo92]

I heard a story soon after he first joined that i always remember regarding Maddison. I can't say if it's true, i wasn't there, but it doesn't seem a story worth making up..

 

A friend of a friend was in a bar in town where he saw Maddison (Terrace i believe on Albion Street), and when asked for a photograph, he made reference to something like "I thought everybody hated me". Apparently, he's a quiet and kind person, almost timid. I think sometimes his immaturity can be mistaken for arrogance.

 

I've seen a lot of interviews with him, and he does strike me as a typical 24 year old lad. He also strikes me as someone who would recognise the boo's and be affected by them.

 

I have been as frustrated at Maddison as most, i think he's been very poor for us recently, and was quite rightly dropped, but there's a player in there, and i think a goal or two will do him the world of good. We can't magic a goal for him, but we can at least give him the confidence and backing to go out there.

 

[Spudulike]

I didn't recognise the booing aimed at Maddison, more the disappointment of an already agitated crowd that Lookman was being subbed. 

 

If some were booing the introduction of Maddison, and I'm not condoning it, but we perhaps need to recall the infamous covid party following the video clips of him telling everyone to stay at home as the catalyst for the change in some fans attitude towards him. This summers paparazzi Ibiza party photos hasn't helped either.

I agree with you but I think yesterday bar starting Iheanacho he got it pretty much spot on, maybe he has realised that it wasn't working and made the changes yesterday the fact he didn't start Perez or Maddision but still gets booed is not great support esp this early on into the season.

 

fortunate or not we still won it.

 

We could have just as easily finished 4th the year before United got all those penos in there favour and then last season Liverpool won 9 out of the last 9 or something like that so we was just as unfortunate

We were lucky to win the final, I dont think you can argue that. One shot which 9 times out 10 does not fly in the top corner and Chelsea missed some great chances/Kasper made some great saves.

 

Theres no shame in that, 90% of cup wins will have required the rub of the green at some point. Whether it be fortunate draws or 11 Brighton defenders switching off and giving Kel a free header with basically the last kick/head of the game.

Maybe people were booing Maddison to express their disapproval of him appearing in adverts for a clothing company whose ethical policies they feel aren’t protective enough of workers’ rignts.

And you support a team, where Sweat Shops were more abundant than poppies, und still have them in hidden Corner Streets & buildings.

Plus you support a team, where the fans know more about Football than any of our managers, and demand a Co-op selection & formation commitee.

Plus a booing inquiry-panel, to tweek out, any Big B leaders...
