SuperMike Posted 10 December 2021 Posted 10 December 2021 Team: Danny Ward KDH 9 others (any 9, as long as they promise to put some effort in)
LVFox Posted 10 December 2021 Posted 10 December 2021 Time for makeshift changes. Trust the "covid 7" are all out so: Kasper Castagne Vestegaard Evans Thomas Ndidi Soumare KDH Maddison Daka Vardy Ricardo for Castagne if fit (Is Ricardo ever going to be fit again??) Youri is nowhere near ready to start on yesterdays showing Barnes needs dropping Yes im going Vestegaard > Soyuncu...Yes it's slower than a snail with hip issues. But, Soyuncu needs dropping... such a shame Big Dan is unavailable.
BenTheFox Posted 10 December 2021 Posted 10 December 2021 I have to say this in case anyone was thinking it...I would much rather we win this game, which results in Rodgers staying than lose and it being a 'final straw' moment and sack him. We have a horrid run of games coming up and I really would rather be three points better off. 1
mozartfox Posted 10 December 2021 Posted 10 December 2021 This will be a defining game. Must win..... or things will become even more Toxic on here and awkward for the likes of myself to defend BR. A good performance and 3 pts, and there will be offers of BJ's for BR on here come Sunday Night. Come on you Foxes! 1 1 1

whitlock Posted 10 December 2021 Posted 10 December 2021 There will be boos if we don’t win. Horrible game really, back off their first win against a team prone to crumble with a fragile defence. Anything but three points is inexcusable for our aspirations that the quality we have over them. Feel like Rodgers is a dead man walking if we lose, and play badly.
thankyouleicester Posted 10 December 2021 Posted 10 December 2021 Always rated Eddie Howe, when Bournemouth got relegated they were extremely unlucky with injuries. For me he has potential to be a top tier manager (like a Pep or Klopp). That's the most dangerous thing here imo.
Happy Fox Posted 10 December 2021 Posted 10 December 2021 Is it too much to ask for two strikers upfront , I cannot see anything other than a limp draw at home. 1
Vacamion Posted 10 December 2021 Author Posted 10 December 2021 If we lose and it turns ugly, I reckon the pundits will be incredulous that our fans aren't quietly grateful for all the overachievements since 2015. They cranked up the snakes and ingrates stuff when Ranieri left. I think there will be more of that. Better win, then... 1
Foxes96 Posted 10 December 2021 Posted 10 December 2021 (edited) Schmeichel Castagne - Amartey - Evans - Thomas Albrighton - Ndidi - Tielemans - KDH Maddison Vardy Running out of ideas… Need wingers who will work hard and support our full backs, to at least try and keep it tight, and then hope we have enough on the pitch between Maddison/ Vardy/ Youri to grab a goal. Also got Barnes to run at tired legs on the hour mark. Edited 10 December 2021 by Foxes96 3
Pliskin Posted 10 December 2021 Posted 10 December 2021 Kasper Paul. S. Winson Might keep a clean sheet then.
ARTY_FOX Posted 10 December 2021 Posted 10 December 2021 We'll win like 3-1 or something. Some Rodgers support will return. Then we'll be winless until New year.
Scotch Posted 10 December 2021 Posted 10 December 2021 Kasper Castagne Amartey Evans Thomas Ndidi Tielemans KDH Maddison Nacho Vardy 2
Mike Oxlong Posted 10 December 2021 Posted 10 December 2021 I hope that his pre-match team talk will include a reminder to the defence that a ban on heading the ball has not yet come into force.

Probably none of them other than Italy wouldn't let them in without 5 days self isolation. 1
Guest Col city fan Posted 10 December 2021 Posted 10 December 2021 Honestly don’t know (and that’s the worry). Newcastle are rubbish, but fighting for Prem survival An in-form City side would paste them But I just don’t know about this one. I can see Saint Maximim and Wilson tearing us a new one, but I can also see Vardy and Maddison running the show too I think there’ll be goals and a narrow home win 2-1 City

They cranked up the snakes and ingrates stuff when Ranieri left. I think there will be more of that. Better win, then... They started on this narrative against Napoli. Talked about our league finishes, FA cup win, Charity cup win (like suddenly that matters to pundits) and how the fans will find this current rut hard to deal with. My issue is I kind of get it. There's no getting around that a part of the fanbase have been demanding BR out for a while now. I don't know what the appropriate lenght of time is before you can call for a manager's head but I'd like some sort of formal decision on this. Take it to the heads of Football for them to decide. That way I can feel confident calling out those who kneejerk too soon and safe in supporting fans who wait until the timelimit has expired. If somebody could do that, I'd be grateful.
adejo92 Posted 10 December 2021 Posted 10 December 2021 Even if we get 3 points on Sunday I'd still like to see Rodgers gone. He just doesn't seem like a fit for our club and the issues seem to run much deeper than anything he can miraculously fix. It's just a free fall and he's nothing more than a spectator to it. 2

When you get to the point of winning a game to save someone's job, it's time up because you'll soon find yourself in the same position again in the near future, I don't mean this specifically about the situation we find ourselves in, I speak generally about all clubs when they find themselves questioning a manager, I couldn't believe how many times Ole's job was 'saved'. 2

I've always seen him in a similar mould to Rodgers. Media darling (mostly because he's British), talks a convincing game but mostly all fur coat and no knickers. I wouldn't see his defensive tactics being much of an improvement here 🤣.

Ole was loved by the fans, they wanted him to do well. Even after winning the FA cup I don't think any of our fans actually love BR to give him that kind of faith. It does question what manager that has fallen into this kind of situation has dug themselves and the team out of it. What length of time do fans keep the faith?
