No pun intended lmao that is a great joke well done Nigel Free Stone

We were absolute shite under Cooper, even with Hermansen being a superhero and some unbelievable luck we were honking. He had Fatawu and Ricardo too.

 

 

True but they are not taking to Ruud either so what is it ?

We dont have a single PL quality player.

 

 

We do, its just he’s injured and moving to Chelsea asap

Until Rudkin is gone there will be a rotton core in the middle if our club.

I'm not even particularly saying RvN is a dead cert to be a success, just think it's very very odd to want to shake Steve Cooper's hand given he had a summer to shape and prep this squad and this is where we are 👍🏻

Fair play, if you see him again.. you know what to do.

Ask him what cocktail of drugs he was high on when he signed off on the recruitment of Okoli, BDCR, Ayew and Skipp? 
 

Ask him if the fact he has foreskins for eyelids meant he wasn’t able to identify that Danny Ward was as much use as Anne Frank’s drum kit? What about the fact he apparently forgot Ricardo existed for the first 7 weeks of the season? 
 

There’s plenty more I’d like to ask Steve, but I think after those few he’d probably rather I left him to get on with his day, tbh.

Loved most of the 1st half, hated parts of the 1st half. They went from outstanding to clueless.

 

2nd half I ****ing despised.

 

Had enough of the lot of them. Every single one. **** off.

[egg_fried_rice]

Remarkably, we’re still within one win of 16th place.

 

But it’ll require an entirely new and competent back four being purchased in the next two weeks.

Time to accept we don’t have enough quality or brains (just look at both goals) in the team.  The big worry is who do you rely on to drag us back up next year?  Fatawu back from ACL, Mavididi shot of confidence, Vardy probably gone, no real playmaker and the EFL baying for blood.  Back to being a boring Championship team for a few years I think.

We did just literally smash a Championship side 6-2.

Just to clarify I said "wrong place and wrong time" and something about us being a basket case. I didn't say he was the second coming of Sir Alex or anything  

[Jazzy_Jeff]

We need to centre back to play with Faes.

 

We need Mads and Wilf back.

 

We need a decent attacking sub.

 

We need a new striker as it pains me to say it Vardy is done. 
 

Night all.

Ricardo, Fatawu, Mads, Ndidi.

 

If these four came back and hit the ground running in Feb we would have a chance. Unfortunately that ain’t happening.

I want the season to finish now. It's over. Players show fight but are not good enough. It's a very weird situation to have gone 6 defeats in a row and not to have a problem with the manager. I don't think he could be doing anymore with the tools the club have given him.

 

It's inevitable whilst these clowns are running the show.

We won more points under Cooper, apart from the first 2 games RVN has achieved nothing.

So what? Why is it people can’t get their head around the idea that 2 different managers might not be very good.

 

Nobody deserves any credit for the season we’re having, collectively everyone at the club has failed. 
 

If Cooper genuinely had a say in the summer transfers, he undoubtedly takes a huge chunk of the blame for this, because they were awful, awful signings. I keep thinking ‘why is so and so still getting picked’ and then I realise there is absolutely no one in the squad good enough to replace them!

 

It would take a particularly good manager to keep this squad up, neither Cooper or Ruud are that I’m afraid. As I say, tonight we didn’t lose because of the manager’s tactics or selection - but you could argue we did lose it because of Cooper’s transfer business.

That’d require a half competent hierarchy or recruitment department pal. They're all probably sat around thinking “how the f**k are we still not cut adrift yet? We might actually have to sign someone here”

Martyn Glover too, recruitment been absolutely horrific in recent seasons 

[Muzzy_no7]

2,700 empty seats tonight.

 

We are constantly making it to general sale now for the first time in over 10 years.

 

How on earth did we get everything so consistently wrong after the title win?

Cooper got more out of them though, points wise... but we are still toothless in attack and defense due to the squad not being good enough or diseplined enough.

 

Under Enzo we would have stayed up but these players have threw a fit and are simply not bothered.

No he didn't, He just got lucky with a fresh Vardy and Ayew chipping in with a few early season. Now time has caught up with them.

 

Our signings have been simply too poor and on ridiculous salaries.

 

Enzo would have kept us up because he would have brought in better players. I'ts that simple.

Rudkin is the person who decided to hire the man whose last two gigs were.... Everton and Southampton
