I have watched Leicester City for over 50 years. I have never seen a team in the second tier as consistently gutless, weak, inept, unmotivated and frankly unwatchable as this. Nor one so badly coached and managed at this level.

 

Ten years after the highest of highs this really is the lowest of the low.

They should each be fined a week wages for that performance.

 

Obviously that can't happen, but what exactly have they been paid for today? Teams lose, that's fine. But the team offered absolutely nothing today.  Nothing.

 

You just know there's no one in that changing room going mad at the others right now.

Really poor. Only looked half arsed when Sheff Utd gave up. No energy, desire, or will to win. Beaten before we kicked off. 
 

Felt a bit sorry for S Thomas, was almost hung out to dry there. 
 

I think it says it all that the only players that seem arsed are 3 teenagers, a player that’s not even ours and our longest serving player. The rest of them just seem like it’s all too much for them playing in the championship and they should be playing at a higher level. 
 

The keeper just isn’t good enough at the minute. Constantly parrying shots back into danger areas, should be comfortably saving the second one. 
 

Luke Thomas time and time again gets done for anything from pace, strength or having a brain. 
 

Our wingers who were good last time in this league just think they can do it all but at the minute nothing is coming off for them. 
 

Onto 9 away losses in a row West Brom on Monday night.

Genuinely think we are now worst than the relegation to the third tier side. They at least had a decent defence and could keep a clean sheet.

This looks really concerning. Hard to think of any positives from tonight.

Nelson looked ok and I'd stick with him and Okoli. The keeper looks shot of confidence, doesn't seem able to catch the ball, doesn't command his area and his distribution is terrible. Thomas at fullback needs dropping. Ricardo was out of position so often it was unbelievable. He can't play that position any more but could be ok actually in midfield.

Defensively we are a complete mess at set pieces.

 

I thought Hamza actually did quite well in midfield and played with more intensity than either Reid or Skipp who were both woeful tonight.

 

Mavididi was pathetic and Fatawu not much better. 

 

The experiment of playing Silko through the middle didn't work. largely because he got no service or support at all from the midfield.

 

Page and Monga again looked decent but it is too much to expect players of such limited match playing experience to dig us out the hole we are in.

 

We have no identity as a side at all and that is down to the manager who needs to go. At the very least a good manager would make us hard to beat which currently we are not and we're shipping goals for fun. The options off the bench are so limited.

 

A truly pathetic performance tonight.

Was just about to post this. Think that this team has fewer qualities than that one, specifically that one could defend a bit.

Every bit as pathetic as I expected… Top you’ve really got to **** off pal. And take Marti with you…

 

****ing gutless, effortless, talentless, lacking of any redeeming qualities at all. 
 

The team is lacking, but Marti is ****ing disgusting, the team resembles his boring uninspiring ideology. Genuinely the worst manager we’ve had for many, many years.

Agree. 
 

We’re going down, bar a miracle.

At least it was the lack of quality and not desire back then. Absolutely no excuse with these lot.

Pretty much agree with all of this.

Luke Thomas is a million miles beyond being even acceptable at this level. I am shocked that he keeps getting picked. 
 

Mavididi and Fatawu are greedy and useless. Bobby Reid was about as effective as if we picked my nine year old today.

 

Skipp and Silko at least had some fight and got taken off. Things felt slightly brighter when Monga and Page were on but let’s be honest, I would have probably felt better if I’d just wandered into the kitchen and put my hand on the hob for a minute.
