Wouldn’t surprise me if Ayew is the leader, must be a reason he hogs the ball and wants to take all the set pieces. Wouldnt surprise me if he’s on goal kicks against Charlton.

This is where our recruitment has to improve. 

 

In our successful periods recently we've had a team full of leaders. Nowadays scratching at the surface is an understatement.

I know he could be unprofessional at times, but Jamie Vardy genuinely cared about LCFC. I'm convinced he held it together at times because he didn't allow others to take the piss out of the club. That's all gone now and we can see the difference.

 

Riccy seems a good bloke who cares about LCFC, but he seems too soft to me, and he's always injured anyway.

Not even Johnny Evans?

A Coady character doesn’t fix this 

Spot on.

 

What is needed is a full 'buy in' by a group of players who believe in this football club, what they can do for it &, what their spell here can go on & do for their careers.

 

Which is precisely what we don't have with some of these players. But the younger ones give me a little hope. 

 

If we could just root out some of the s**theads, replace them with players who want to be here, then we can develop momentum as the season goes on...

 

 

 

...But then I just realised that Rudkin is in charge of it all. So little will happen.

We don’t nip bad signings in the bud. Imagine if we’d shipped Soumare off for a small loss after his first season when his residual value was at its highest? 


Rudkin is incapable of basic squad management

Yes we had the chance to sell him to Monaco at cost, if you remember.

 

In fact this season reminds me of 22-23 in terms of the lack of attention to squad building.

We all love Ricky P, but can you seriously see that he has any influence on this group of players?

 

I assume our leadership group is...

 

Ricky P

JJ

Hamza

Vesty

Mavadidi

 

Then you've got rotten "senior" pros

 

Winkys

Faes

 

WE NEED A LEADER

 

Until we get someone with some balls and someone who demands more from this squad were gonna struggle, without being dramatic, we could easily slide into the bottom third of this league.

 

 

While I appreciate the goal today was a crazy error from our keeper, if you watch back and see Vestergaard’s attempts at catching up with play (zero effort) then I’m not sure how he isn’t in the ‘rotten’ group.

I just don’t think we really have anyone in the whole squad 

 

I love Riccy and whilst he is probably fine for being club captain, I am not sure if even he is suited to being a match day captain (especially when you consider his fitness)

 

Way too early to say whether someone like Nelson should be getting it as well

Those corners today were dreadful! 

 

Seriously, how can a professional footballer over hit a corner consistently and clear the 18 yard box  :dunno:

This post warrants a ban imho 

Why? It states a genuine fact.

 

Coady was a genuine leader - his record at Wolves proves that. Even in 2023-24 we were unbeaten in every league game in which he played.

 

I'd have preferred to have kept him at City in preference to Farce or Panic, but the payroll needed cutting and Wrexham - whom we must now consider a rival club 🤮🤮🤮 - offered to take him off our hands.

 

There is a serious leadership crisis at City both on and off the pitch. It was evident even under Maresca and has only deepened since he left.

One thing that struck me yesterday after Monga scored his goal, only Fatawu partially congratulated him, nobody else looked like they even cared that a 16 Yr old academy product scored his first senior goal for the club which is incredibly odd. 

 

We look like we have no team spirit, no characters and zero leaders. 

 

If the playing staff isn't refreshed before the window shuts I seriously believe we're in a relegation fight.

Possibly not. But look at the effect it had when we had a 'no dickheads' recruitment policy and kept signing other clubs' captains under Pearson. 

 

We've got a crop of young players coming through at a stage where they are developing habits and mentalities that will help to shape their careers, and the senior pros they have to look up to don't give a shit. Professionalism can be just as contagious as the culture we have now.
