A better coached team would have scored against them. They're not all that at defending. Instead we have this predictable team selection, shape and performance again and again and again.

Newcastle have the best defensive record in the league. 

[sishades]

Forest will be licking their lips at playing us and although I am reluctant to call for a manager to lose their job, but a hammering is on the cards here and any justification for him to stay would be very hard to justify.

All the poor fvckers who made the trip up there should get a refund

They’ve brought this on themselves, I mean why would you go?

I think it's fair to say that whoever Emlyn Begley is, he/she/it/they is not our greatest fan:

 

"Substitute Jamie Vardy missed two glorious chances to get Leicester back into the game but their performance merited nothing.

 

"It was another miserable night for Brendan Rodgers' side, who have only beaten MK Dons and Gillingham since the break in their season in November."

Don’t know what I’m more pissed of with. 
 

The lack of funding from the owners this season to strengthen the team. 
 

The fact that Clown Rodgers is still our manager. 
He hasn’t got a clue. 
 

That Armety and Ward are still being picked for the team. 
 

That we have so much crap deadwood players were never going to shift as nobody will want them. 
 

That no decent player is going to want to sign for us due to the mess we are in. 
No good having a state of the art Training ground if we can’t do anything on match day. 
 

Or that Vardy has now passed it.

 

I know it was only a cup game and the league position means more but that was a poor performance. 
 

Confidence has gone and a lot of the players have given up or no longer wanting to play for the Clown. 
 

Tough times ahead and if something doesn’t change soon then we are going down. 

[Scotch]

That's made me angry, it really has!

 

That team that we put out tonight were utter garbage and what's worse is that it was probably our strongest possible team. We are rank and for as much as I can't stick Rodgers and he certainly shares a blame, there comes a time when the board and Top need to take responsibility because this squad was built by Rodgers under their watch and it's not good enough. It's not been good enough for a while now even with everyone fit. 

 

The salt in the woumd really is been sitting for the last two years watching everyone around us get stronger while we regress and I'm not buying the "there's no money" line anymore. There's no money Top? Well here's an idea, FIND SOME! That's litteraly your job! To improve is as a club and I refuse to believe that there is nothing that can be done. The more likely truth is that he doesn't know what to do and thats worse!

 

We're sleep walking into relegation, undoing all Khin Vichai's work! I refuse to believe that there isn't someone at the club who hasn't got a solution to stop it. 

[Guest Col city fan]

I hate watching this team.

Rodgers has sucked the life out of it. Amartey is shit and Faes looks like a bomb scare.

Barnes and Daka have zero confidence. 
The only shock is that we lasted to 60 mins.

The club is rotten from the core. It’s not the Leicester I came to love anymore.

Top needs to pull his finger out his arse and sort this mess out. Or sell up

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

In hindsight I wish I’d caught up with Happy Valley tonight. That’s more uplifting than watching us at the moment.

Youri got ran ragged by Bruno tonight if we’re being truly honest 

Let’s hope then that’s put them off buying YT.

Bruno deliberate revenge on Perez down his Achilles tendon- why no yellow? 

[adam95581]

What I don’t understand is how we went from looking like we were getting back to being more solid (pre WC) to the shambles we saw tonight (and most games post WC)

True but if we'd really put a shift in they were there for the taking imo.  They're not that great.  The difference is they were bothered, and we aren't.

[Goober]

Our back 4/5 are garbage. Brendans been shite but he needs better tools than Amartey, Ward and Thomas.

 

*And so does the man who comes.to replace him.

Dreadful performance.

 

Not helped by Rodgers' Magician speech beforehand telling them he didn't think they could compete with the likes of Newcastle. I'd blame the players for showing no fight, but I have seen every one of those players fight tooth and nail for our club before, so it is something in how he is preparing them mentally.

 

If he doesn't want to manage this football club as he seems to be saying, he should go.

I mean it's pretty bloody honest isn't it? We didn't merit anything.

[tom27111]

Absolutely shambolic.

 

All confidence has drained from every single player and the manager can't stop the rot.

 

I care, don't get me wrong, but there'd have been times when I'd be utterly fuming about this.

 

Life's too short. It is what it is.

 

Just don't expect much and you won't be let down.

[squidsworth]

Brill that, yet another game we can barely fashion a chance nevermind score and we are pure comedy genius at the back, worse than League two standard.  May as well have pis*ed in the face of all those the traveled. Feel sorry for them most of all. 

[Samilktray]

Think I’m done for the foreseeable now. Won’t be buying tickets for any further games this season and I certainly won’t be watching us for free on Skygo using my girlfriend’s dad’s login details. Just pure fed up 

[Kopic]

Couldn't care less about the carbonara cup concentrate on the league in brendan we trust

[Nod.E]

Well, who could have seen that loss coming?

[VLC86]

Was playing football so missed the first 75 mins. Bunch of useless c unts

Surprisingly calm about it all.  I'm past caring.  Until something changes with the club, I'm distancing myself from it.  It's just not worth the time, money or even effort any more.

Exactly this. I refuse to let it annoy me any more. More to life than letting it spoil another evening/day/weekend. 

[Pliskin]

This game highlights one thing. 
 

Brendan has to be sacked as our manager. 
 

His position he now become untenable. Today was a ****ing disgrace, he has single handedly created a a defeatist ethos, he’s instilled weakness into us and we’re built on excuses and frailty.
 

His attitude has changed, and he doesn’t Inject the key ingredients into the squad that is needed that is needed to win a dog fight. 
 

Yes it might not fix the issues, yes the damage may already be done. Yes it seems we’re in a mess on and off the field, but for **** sake could the manager actually be positive and try and come up with something else? He can’t, he’s completely ****ed this off and is only bothered about himself, this man cannot be allowed to continue to drive this team into the ground. 
 

We need change, we need something different we need fresh ideas, a positive mindset we need a manager who will create a team willing to run through brick walls for him, because today that was the main difference between us and Newcastle was they came wanting to win, to fight, and their quality came through in the end. This team has quality, this team has players capable of more than we are currently displaying, but the manager is letting them believe that isn’t the case. 
 

I’ve never been so in favour of a manager being sacked, if he stays we will 100% be playing in the championship next season. If he goes we could have a fighting chance of staying up. 
 

I want him gone by tomorrow morning.
