Unpopular LCFC Opinions

Micky Adams caused our relegation by falling out with - and binning off - Dean Sturridge whose goals would have kept us up.

Soumare is still not very good, he's just playing in a worse team. Soumare has not played in a good team since 2021, which looks like the exception rather than the rule. If we can dupe someone else to view him in the same way the kids on Twitter do, we should be able to get good money.

Foxes Talk is becoming more toxic than The Fighting Cock (it isn't, but they are becoming too similar for my liking). And with good reason.

Rebrand this site to "Foxes cock talk"?

Leicester fans didn’t have a special relationship with Vichai.

 

The tragic circumstances of his death triggered grief buried within people for people they actually knew and it took on a Princess Diana esque spectacle where it was, quite frankly, ridiculous to see people crying in public over someone they never knew.

 

Leicester fans couldn’t recognise his voice, tell you his birthday (despite the free doughnuts) or anything else significant about him as a man. He was as private and shady as a man gifted a monopoly by the king of Thailand should be.

 

The co-ordinated grief and brain-washy type slogans like ‘Always In Our Hearts’ and ‘The Boss’ pushed by the club are superb examples of how you can manipulate the majority of people into thinking a certain way. This is now actually harming the club as accountability for the current owner is lacking due to association with the former

one.

Agreed he does FA and gives the ball away continually in key areas and is shite at winning it back. 

 

Over the last 3 months he's been one of our better players but only illustrates just how shite we've been 

[CrazyKopCorner]

I miss Barnes, Maddison, Youri, Soyunchu and KDH 

 

I'd have all of them back pdq

VAR has ruined the game and id take the FA cup loss it may present... if it meant that VAR never existed.

I do however like goal line tech

Agree totally. One of the joys of football is goals. VAR should look at anything that impacts the game not just an offside by a fingernail. Perhaps each team should get two challenges per half.

Sturridge was really decent in his brief time here, at a time when we struggled for goals he managed to notch a few and always looked dangerous compared to our other strikers of the time.

I think Soyuncu is made out to be better than he really was by a lot of people because of his apparent falling out with Rodgers

He also wasn't better than Maguire

I think both are really good examples of how under rated psychology is in professional football and how the vast majority of fans give zero consideration for the relationship between mental state and performance. 

 

Other than occasionally trotting out clichés about "confidence players" or something on those lines, it's largely over looked. 

 

Maguire the Leicester player was a superb defender who, whilst not worth 80m, was a pretty natural candidate for a transfer to United. 

 

He has that level of talent and ability but he absolutely collapsed under enormous public scrutiny owing to both the fee and the expectations that come with playing for United. The staff at United spectacularly failed to deal with this, whether it be sports psychologists or even just man management, nobody seemed to know how to rebuild his confidence and stop him spiraling. 

 

Cags is another. At his best he was absolutely excellent with us but he was completely appalling under pressure and his mistakes had a habit of snowballing massively. 

 

You can't always blame coaches and staff, some people just aren't cut out for that kind of stress and pressure. It's a lot of what makes Premier League level players genuinely elite. 

 

I think there's a certain amount of that with Cags but I also do think he was horrifically badly managed by Rodgers and was and is an objectively better player than Amartey.

He’s got two. 😶

£100 for a printed child’s replica kit is very good value for money even if they only use it for 9 months.

We played well against Villa in both League Cup semis but come up against a goalkeeper who had a career high performance 

 

The first bottling of the CL wasn’t really a bottling. It was because other clubs went into turbo mode

First was definitely a bottle job. We had a 14 point lead over utd at one point. Even then we should e at least finished ahead of lampards Chelsea.

Ricky P marking Tammy Abraham for corners, even after the first went in. 
 

I know, not unpopular but still blows my mind.

Wrong way round. The second one our performances were about even for most of the season, we just got caught. 

 

The first was an absolutely shameful collapse. 

 

We'd been in a title race at Christmas.

We did bottle the second one a bit. 4 points from the last 15. But we'd obviously set our sights on an FA Cup win, which I'm glad we did, and Liverpool had an insane run in.

 

19/20 was pretty pathetic and I don't think of that season that fondly apart from Soton away.

Their bloody goalie scored a winner for them.
