LCFC 1-2 Watford, post match thread

[Leicesterpool]

Got a manager nobody wanted, fans didn't want him and by the looks of things neither did the team. I tried my best to give this manager the benefit of the doubt with the squad and resources he's been delt with but this guy couldn't instruct a dog to poo. Team just not inspired and bored to death.

It was funny how much I got laughed at on here when I said Lincoln city would be above in two years at the end of last season. Now look.

Special category of div to be one of those clapping the players.

 

Week before xmas, packed away end, £40 a ticket and these jokers still think they owe the players.

 

No wonder Aiyawatt takes them to the cleaners.

Did the seals stay behind to applaud the players off.

When they scored their 2nd, what we did was the complete opposite of how you want your team to be doing when you're chasing the game. 

Which has been the case pretty much all season under this incompetent manager.

Never seen a team play act more than Watford down here this season. The ref was stupid enough to fall for it. Gave them a free kick every time they hit the deck. How Monga didn’t get a free kick late on with the fouls he’s gave them all afternoon was beyond me.

They're still below us

So much of this game is about reputation. Maresca's side got into the opposition's heads that we were too good for them, that they had to sit back and stop us rather than take us on. It changed later in the season but fortunately we had enough character with Vardy and Dewsbury-Hall to get us over the line.

 

Nobody fears this team. Nobody respects it. Managers will come out and talk us up whilst knowing it would have to be a seriously bad performance for us to dominate them. We aren't capable.

 

Watford scored and had no concerns. No drama, just play your way and we'll be fine. The stats don't lie, we look exactly what we are. A boring, eminently beatable team who offer no excitement and little threat.

There is still a very very long way to go before this happens. Until that point you are fair game

I smashed stranger things! 

[Haywood_6]

Get home gone. But it's not just the manager. The players - Jakub and Okoli, Fatawu in particular embarrassingly bad.

So did the team

That last 30 minutes was really, really bad. There was zero intensity and the players simply stopped running. Can't see how the manager can survive now unless the finances are so bad we can't afford to sack him. There is simply no other reason why we should retain his services.

That last 30 mins was how we played against qpr...

[MPH]

I can’t even begin to explain how far we have fallen…

[Balj]

That was so poor - fair result. We have too few legs, brains and desire in too many areas to be successful at the moment. We can only hope there is a longer term plan than this season but I fear not..

agree with everying you say apart from the fear bit.Scare me to death

[TheGoldenGod]

People defended JJs comments that sounded extremely "maddison-esque"....well well well. He's coming out with more and more. Don't care if hes trying and looks like he cares...you simply cannot say with any certainty we won't get relegated!

[adam]

That second  half was pathetic. Absolutely no urgency to try and change the result. Players just moping about, passing it between themselves. 

[Vaz]

So much anger in the Kop at FT. Guys that are normally quiet were full on meltdown at the players when they came over. 

 

Has to be over for Marti after that. Just awful management of the game.
