"We were in League 1 once". 

 

Yes, ONCE in our entire 141 year history. It is not the standard to hold ourselves to. 

Ironic thing is that league one side would beat the current crop

I miss Jack Hobbs and Lloyd Dyer...

I went to a gig tonight. I wish I didn't check this as soon as I left.

 

I knew the result and performance yet it still stained an otherwise enjoyable night.

[TheGoldenGod]

Aren't we 1 of only 5 clubs to win every domestic trophy this century? Never let anyone tell you to we can't complain. We're massive and the fans deserve so much more than what the club have accepted for years now!

Because our fullbacks are hopeless, let’s not beat around the bush. They’re championship players, although JJ used to be prem quality. 

Both of our fullbacks are scared of progressing up the pitch and putting a ball in quickly or committing to an attack.  VK showed it in the first minute where he was open, had all the time to put a cross in, slowed it down then decided to cross as  West Ham pressed.  JJ is scared to do anything remotely progressive and when he does he struggled to make a simple pass today.

 

Facundo tries to do way too much but then he is surrounded by useless idiots.  JJ and him worked some space on the wing, he plays a one two and runs into space.  JJ true to form does his foot on the ball and sends it backwards then looks gormless and waves to say sorry.

Felt nothing all game, just sick of the team and club. Ruud is absolutely useless, but so are the players. Tools were downed months ago, it’s absolutely pathetic.

For the first time in forever I purposely avoided the match, didn't watch it, didn't google the result, I actually forgot the game was on until just now so I'll just say, what an awful performance.

West Ham have had a poor season generally, we made them look like Top 6.

 

I used to be show some kind of emotion when we lose, now I just seem to have stopped caring. Away Spurs win aside, 2025 has been a disaster. 

 

West Ham looked terrible. They played in 2nd gear, never really threatened, and didn’t really attack very much.

 

It’s just we are so diabolical teams don’t even need to turn up to beat us. Two bobbles goals given free of charge tonight and game over before halftime

He was certainly better than soumare and actually made the effort to look forward.

Yeah I liked the effort tracking back as well

Soumare is the root of all our problems.

 

Our midfield just doesn’t work. Ndidi breaks things up but can’t create anything, and Soumare does literally nothing.

 

All we can do is try and play it out with the fullbacks and we csnt get anywhere into the opposition box.

 

For a Premier League team to not have a single midfielder that can play a forward pass is beyond a joke.

I can’t stand Soumare, he sums up the worst of this club.

 

I can’t stop watching him closely out of hatred, it’s like he’s zonal marking only areas that the opposition are not in, and when they enter his zone he drifts to another.  I never seen a midfielder as clueless and have zero awareness and lack of urgency. He constantly runs by a player with the ball when he’s the closet, then reacts once they have him beat.

 

The first goal could’ve been prevented if he put his foot through the ball and actually tried to make a tackle.

 I struggle to see how anyone can watch that and think that Justin was the problem. He got hospital pass, after hospital pass tonight. Justin is asked to mark 2-3 players and expected to provide the only attacking width in the team.

 

You talk about him running into space but he barely had a chance to do that and to be fair to him and VK, they're probably absolutely shot because they've done twice as much running as anyone else. He almost always has to pass backwards as there's 2 opposing players in front of him, which you'd think would mean that we have an overload somewhere but we won't because instead the clowns around him will all bunch up and offer no width.

[Tommy G]

Potter must’ve been thinking I’m glad I swerved this shit show 

[Sunbury Fox]

On a positive note, we only have to play 2 matches between now and 5 April, which is a blessed relief.

Much like the Arsenal game, West Ham were there for the taking, outside of Southampton I think any other team beats them tonight.

 

We offered absolutely nothing, we didn't fight, we didn't even try.

 

Ruud just doesn't want to be here, there is absolutely no way any manager no matter how bad they are would just keep rolling this out, same formation, same tactic and pretty much the same players, I know the club let him down and lied to him, but what is the point in continuing with this charade.

 

We can't have him in charge next season in the championship, so why carry on?

 

Once again the inability of the clown show needs to remain front and centre. 2 dreadful appointments. Horrific recruitment and general squad building, both in talent and attitude.

 

The only positive and I mean only, was seeing Andy King on the bench and hoping that once this season is done he can help us find ourselves again, because we are lost, like many said  its one thing to be bad it's another thing to turn in performances like that.

I actually think Andy King was brought in to help bring some actual Leicester insight and feel back to the team as a whole in these troubled times, not as a 'caretaker manager' replacement of a kind for Ruud before long - which now most of us are probably hoping for!!

We stink worse than an Anchovy with BO on a maggot farm in July, just after Satan has broken wind, the night after he went for a Dead Rat Balti and a gallon of IPA.

 

[steveb]

i thought Kristiansen wasn`t terrible, the rest of the team was like watching the living dead

I thought Ndidi was exceptional, exceptionally bad, every single pass he made put the player receiving it under stress, remarkable for somebody who usually only kicks the ball 5 yards backwards

i remember when we got promoted and we didnt offer dyer more than a 1 year contract and he left. these days we're giving a 3 year contract to bloody vestergaard  

[theessexfox]

It’s crazy how we could still be playing until this time tomorrow and we wouldn’t have scored, you watch teams in the league with pace and physicality and directness and there’s just absolutely nothing, I’ve never enjoyed watching football less.

2nd gear? Didn’t even take the handbrake off or get out of neutral 

[Dan]

Our fans have absolutely abjectly failed this test as well. This place is one of the only sane places when it comes to LCFC (yes, really). The entire ground should be as poisonous as this place is. But they just meekly take it. **** me harder daddy.

 

Forget places like Leeds and Everton. This bollocks wouldn't even be tolerated at somewhere like Wolves. This fanbase has been quite badly exposed, and that's pretty painful.

[jim5000]

Payday tomorrow.

 

Several hundred thousands of pounds transferred into the bank accounts of today's starting 11.
