I agree the players are letting the club down but even a manager with rudimentary football coaching and people management skills would get more out of this squad. 5

No words to describe it really. This is diabolical reading, didn't watch the game, glad I didn't, not gonna bother until a change happens. Marti needs to go and and now! Although I fear the club are completely oblivious and it won't even be on their radar.
StanSP Posted 1 January Posted 1 January 3 minutes ago, Chelmofox said: First half stats, for a game we really needed to get something from to stay within touching distance of playoffs Far too many occasions this has happened this season under Marti. He's not a fraud, he's just not very good alongside inadequate players. He doesn't know how to adapt before a game. Doesn't know how to do it during a game. The way we lose games is far worse than how we win them. In that we don't clearly win games. We whimper over the line and it's relief when we've not conceded to hold on to a win. But the way we lose? Pathetically and meekly. We get outrun, outfought, found out and Marti doesn't react quick enough. 2-0 down with no attacking play to threaten a mere half chance of a goal at half time? No changes. 4-0 down at half time? No changes. A new manager may give us a bit of a bounce because it's something fresh and new, but the changes still have to happen from above too. Nothing changes until everything changes. 2
The Doctor Posted 1 January Posted 1 January 12 minutes ago, HarryTheGenie said: Puel - the bloke thought Demarai Gray was a better option up front than Jamie Vardy. On this alone, he should be recognised how poor he actually was. Rodgers - bottled top 4 twice, won FA Cup in mostly empty stadiums, built the current toxic, egotisical, spineless squad we are currently struggling to dismantle. All on mega money! What exactly has been made up? I mean he didn't though did he, he tried Gray up front once, not a bad experiment to see if he's a rotation option for when Vardy is unavailable. didn't work, but weirdos continue to lie about it 7 years after he left... 3
LichesterRedSoxSoccerBall Posted 1 January Posted 1 January I want Marti out along with every other coach and player. But maybe us fans dont realise the extent to how shit things are. Marti as well maybe surprised by their lack of professionalism, ability to follow instructions, attitude, effort, technical ability, fitness etc. Add in a dodgy AF owner that I feel is of the Sheff Wed mould screwing our finances and you have this sorry state of a club. Marti out but what good will it do. 1

Until change happens up Top, nothing will... we still have the same DOF now Exec VP making managerial and player acquisition choices... Steve Cooper, Ayew, BDCR, Skipp, RVN though I think he didn't do his homework on how poorly this club is managed, Marti, et al... It's just a bad bad product that is being run into the ground.
Kitchandro Posted 1 January Posted 1 January 51 minutes ago, elangLCFC said: I'm annoyed too, but this is some big time revisionism on some parts. Ranieri won the league, whatever happened afterwards, so that can't not be called a success. Puel was brought in to to do a job, which in hindsight was okay. Rogers got us playing some good stuff and we won an FA Cup under him. Maresca was up and down but ultimately won the Champ at the first time of asking. There's plenty to criticise the hierarchy about without resorting to making stuff up. Ranieri and Maresca were good appointments, Puel not a chance. Total waste of time. The Rodgers appointment can be separated into 3 as if they were all completely separate people (which reflects his personality) - 2019 (good) 2020-21 (inconsistent and frustrating, benefit of the doubt purely because VAR disallowed the Chilwell goal) and 2022-23 (diabolical in every aspect of management that exists and even in some aspects that he managed to invent). What we can say is that King Power have had no footballing insight, the appointments have had little imagination or research behind them and the few that worked out were lucky choices on that basis. 2

No words to describe it really. These Pathetic stats sum us up really. I think that the Sky pundits couldn’t believe how astonishingly bad we are either. Another shit showing and I would just show Marti this and then hand him his p45. 1

Please, it's been a bad enough day already. If this ever happened and that tw@t became our manager I would be taking a break from the club until the joyous day he was sacked. RM is not a football manager, he is a Brendan Rodgers Clone and not the answer we need.

Popular Post fleckneymike Posted 2 January Popular Post Posted 2 January (edited) I defy anyone to identify a single style or approach this team has been coached to do. if Marti hadn’t come out and claimed in pre season he likes to play like Crujff’s dream team then I doubt he’d get the slack some give him. It’s not going to get any better because there is no plan. There are no tactics. There is no progress. The underlying numbers for this team are horrendous. We frequently record xg figures that are below our opponents. Our defensive actions are lamentable. If it wasn’t for Abdul and James we’d be securely in the bottom three. Abdul is regressing because he’s not being coached. He’s being given the ball and asked to regularly beat 2-3 men before crossing or shooting. There no overlap, no underlap, no give and go, no wall passes, no breaking lines, no through balls. That’s not purely down to the players; that’s by design. Marti is out of his depth. He should go but our absentee chairman who nearly ran his dad’s business into the ground in a matter of years is too busy playing Polo to notice or care. Edited 2 January by fleckneymike 13
Brenfox Posted 2 January Posted 2 January 1 hour ago, South Shire Fox said: He started an academy winger upfront as a striker, the writing was on the wall from the team sheet announcement. Literally Claude Puel Mk2 when he tried Demarai Gray upfront So who does he play? Ayew? The man who gets so much flack on here & is clearly not a centre forward. Daka? Who, despite being a striker cannot consistently control a football & is acknowledged as a joke by the fan base. Evans? A young winger who is clearly nowhere near what we need right now. I am by no means in the Marti fan club but the guy is on a hiding to nothing. Who the funk wanted Caranza? Possibly not Marti. The right striker who gives us 10 goals by now gives the whole team a completely different look. This team is so bereft of a striker its unbelievable. 1

He looks so painfully like a talented player who’s being coached appallingly.
dylanlegend Posted 2 January Posted 2 January I mean we are shite but also have the highest paid squad in the league, managers make a difference at this level - look at sheff u and wilder. Need to sack marti asap hes clearly out of his depth. my vote goes to MON with Roy Keane as assistant with a long term plan 1

Or the actual hot day on the opening day against Brentford where he didn’t make any subs! Then again, reptiles blood does run differently to ours which might explain him not getting hot and cold right!
