yorkie1999 Posted 11 May 2023 Posted 11 May 2023 Vardy will get a couple of extra years football when we get relegated, our main striker not scoring all season....almost seems engineered that way.
Popular Post Lionator Posted 11 May 2023 Popular Post Posted 11 May 2023 Vardy saying that 99% of people couldn’t see this happening, what sort of warped headspace do these guys live in? The writing was on the wall over 12 months ago. It’s a sense of entitlement and arrogance that we’re too good to go down and the fact that they’re looking back on it like that proves exactly why it’s happen. You have to be 100% psychologically with it at this level to compete and we’re quite frankly not. 7
Vazman Posted 11 May 2023 Posted 11 May 2023 2 hours ago, The Bear said: Goal scoring isn't really a problem for you, although Vardy obviously isn't what he once was, but that's a "normal" problem for a player his age. I'd say it's your defence gradually getting worse which has been the major problem, and the regression of your central midfield players. Going from: Schmeichel Ricardo, Evans, Maguire/Fofana, Justin To: Ward Castagne, Faes, Soyuncu/Souttar, Thomas Is the biggest reason you are where you are. Too many goals conceded. Which you already know as you haven't kept a clean sheet in donkey's now. And the likes of Ndidi and Tielemans have regressed to being on the bench more often than not whereas they should be the lynchpin of your midfield. I am going to say something very immature, because I know @The Bear is a secret Leicester Fan really, we have had a dogs dinner season, and will likely go down etc etc, but we still got 6 points of Wolves thanks 👍 1
gerblod Posted 11 May 2023 Posted 11 May 2023 2 hours ago, ClaphamFox said: Don't underestimate this bit. In Ndidi, we had the best tackler in Europe for several seasons, which meant our defence had excellent protection. He now looks completely shot and would be fortunate to command a regular starting spot in most League One sides. Combined with the weakening of the back four, Ndidi's decline has a had a catastrophic impact on the team. There's been a pattern of "decline" in several other players, which begs the question, in a club with all the resources which ensure the health and fitness of its squad, why do excellent players like Wilf lose their edge. For me it correlates to a loss of personal confidence and confidence/belief in the coaching staff and those responsible for game plans. Faes is an excellent defender - as are Söyüncü and Castagne, yet all the King's horses couldn't put a capable City defence together. But Huth, Morgan, Fuchs and Simpson, despite being a 'cobbled together' back line, were a redoubtable group. And, of course, they had Kanté as their formidable attack breaker. My feeling is that the team has lost its élan irrevocably and needs to split up. There's no shortage of technical ability with City's players and no shortage of those other necessary qualities , despite the knee-jerk slagging the team and individuals have received. The essence of a good or great manager is the ability to suppress their own ego or project it onto the team. Rodgers must be a very charismatic individual, but, if you cannot prevent the players eventually seeing through the charade then it's get out time - either by your own volition or by intervention. Maybe Top, as the point where the buck stops, didn't manage to see through him in time. And I must apologise to Rudkin and Whelan - maybe they've expressed their doubts for some time and Top has continued to give him the benefit of the doubt.
Vindaloo FOX Posted 11 May 2023 Posted 11 May 2023 (edited) I'm pretty excited about relegation. Our time in the Prem has reminded me of dating my first ever girlfriend she was a 10 me a 6 and a half on a good day. Everyone was wondering how I got with her. Well she left me in the end and to be honest i was relieved, it was a pain dating her. I kinda miss Leicester being the underdog, the club under the radar, who has a surprise up it's sleeve every now and then. Bring back my old Leicester, I've missed you.

Popular Post RowlattsFox Posted 11 May 2023 Popular Post Posted 11 May 2023 I can just see us somehow going to the last day with it in our hands and ballsing it up then. It would be too simple for us to just lose the next 2 games and be down. We will have to do it in the most frustrating and excruciating way possible. 11 1

cruzFOX Posted 11 May 2023 Posted 11 May 2023 Pack the ground out! Many fans have already checked out (don’t blame them). seats should be available. Let the kids in for free! here’s an idea… the players seem to have run out of ideas and look lost. nobody can motivate them? Well almost… invite the children from the cancer ward at Royal infirmary to give the big team talk to the players. Remind them what a real struggle looks and feels like and how to find hope when there is none to battle something so grave knowing every chance you will still lose but try you must because you love life and the people who love you. the fight is not over until you’ve taken the last breathe. Or in this case 3 games left. players are still human! Money and prevelidge has corrupted them. They need to be reminded again of living for the game not the wealth & glamour. Shock to their system. Desperate times calls for desperate measures! 1

I reckon it's probably slightly skewed for us because we've conceded the first goal on so many occasions. Naturally the team who have the lead can then sit back a little more and we'll accumulate a bit of xG. 2
Foxxed Posted 11 May 2023 Posted 11 May 2023 I’ve come to accept we’ll be asking Hamza to shield the defence next season in the Championship whilst wondering if Marc could play right wing. I’m not even sure we’ll have a good season in the Prem next year. We’d be hoping for a complete about face in Top and Rudkin’s competency. We need a complete kick up the arse to go from best run, to worst run, to mild competence. I guess I’d rather that happen in the Prem. 1

Hardly nothing to play for when each place is worth over 2m. They won anyway
