Bournemouth (H) Pre match thread (05.10.24, 3pm)

[FoxesWalk]

We have the worst chances conceded, big chances conceded and xG conceded per 90 in the league. Everyone around the bottom there with us has had slightly harder fixtures than us so far. The only measure we aren’t bottom on is xG conceded per 90 when you exclude pens. 
 

Hermansen is top of the league for goals prevented and saves.

Same. Going to be chaos at the turnstiles tomorrow if this isn't sorted.

We've rang the club, and they've sent us single tickets to use, I would suggest everybody else does the same because this issue isn't looking like getting fixed by tomorrow

[FoxesWalk]

If it makes anyone feel worse, we are also bottom on attacking metrics, despite having scored the most goals in the bottom half. Also note how high Bournemouth are here…

Pathetic stats. Thank God for Mads Hermansen.

Who was it that was calling for more "objectivity" when judging Cooper so far? 

 

Is this objective enough? We are shit.

[James_lcfc]

We are just embarrassingly bad at the moment.

 

Barring a significant improvement over the next few games, the board need to act.

[Cropwellfox]

My god these are utterly shameful stats. Who on earth inside the bewildering cluster**** of our club can look at this and think Cooper isn’t massively out of his depth

I'm not sure it's true that the sides around us have had tougher fixtures.

 

Half of our games have been against last year's top six. No games against other newly-promoted teams.

 

Palace have played Man Utd (who weren't actually top six, unless I'm mistaken) and Chelsea, but also Brentford, West Ham, Everton and us.

 

Southampton have had Newcastle, Forest, Brentford, Ipswich, Man Utd and Bournemouth. One newly promoted side, and no top six teams.

 

Wolves have had a tougher time with Liverpool, Chelsea, Villa and Arsenal, as well as Forest and Newcastle - so I'll grant you that one!

 

Just above us, Everton have had Spurs and Villa, but also Brighton, Bournemouth, Palace and us. So, again, in relation to last year's table that's a shade easier than our opening fixtures.

 

Ipswich have had Liverpool, Man City and Villa. They've also had Fulham, Brighton and newly-promoted Southampton. So that's more or less comparable with us.

 

So based on that, I'd say Wolves have had tougher fixtures. Ipswich have had comparable fixtures. Southampton, Palace and Everton have all had a slightly kinder opening run of games.

Listening to it on WYS.

 

His comments about being a Premier League team not a Premier League club irk me so much.

 

He says about being positive yet makes those comments.

 

I can’t stand the guy.

Never known anyone waffle on about the prestige and difficulty of being a Premier League team. This is not to diminish the gulf in class between the standard but it's nowhere near as elite as is made out and I have an inkling that being obsessed with such a view actually hinders what is achievable.

 

Paying far too much respect and being in awe of what it takes coming down from the manager.

 

It's boring Steve and don't patronise us. We've proven as a club what's possible, it won't wash with us pal.

We’ll never play the Maresca formation again. Let it go, man, let it go 

[Grebfromgrebland]

This has to be Coopers last chance.

   Leicester manager Steve Cooper has never beaten Bournemouth in five attempts in all competitions.

   It is the joint-most he has ever faced an opponent as a manager without ever winning (also five against Manchester United).

You know if we play 3 centre-halves with our current manager's style of football and the malaise we're in that we'll just be sat on the edge of our box for most of the game.

we are doomed then

[Larry_LCFC]

90 mins of "Get into them, **** them up" being chanted might get the message across.

[Finn Claw II]

Same side as we usually play.

Same subs we usually make.

Same saves by Mads.

Same hope at some part of the game that we get a result.

Same end result.

This is it and when he says he believes in this team you know it’s a worthless fib
