It's a comparison and he's dead right. You sound as if you don't understand the comparison and the "crying" comment is pure juvenile.

In any fight, be it football or combat, you rely on your comrades to play/fight with you. Not piss off somewhere until it's all over. That's the analogy. 

There's a high proportion of posters/members on here who aren't City supporters - they come on here to take a poke at the manager, the team or to single out a player. That's not supporting. For instance, Fatawu, best player (bar James) at the club. Scores sensational goals but gets called brainless or ineffective when he has a quiet game. You're only as good as the team around you or as good as the opposition allows you to be. He's young so still learning. However he doesn't get a break from his detractors on here. 

A few years back Chilwell got barracked by a group of 'supporters' whenever he got the ball. I suspect he was glad when Chelsea rescued him. Who wouldn't welcome him back now?

Luke Thomas, the guy who gets it in the neck the most, initiated the move that won us the Cup, but no-one respects him for that. I think he's been ruined by the negativity that haunts this club. Maybe it's a Leicester thing. It's always been said that the best supporters come from around the County. 

 

The players aren't in the WW1 trenches.  They are overpaid, giant pampered babies.  Who currently rank 24th in the league for, essentially, running around and 23rd for sprints.  Several of whom have been banished because they clearly have absolutely no interest in playing for us.  

 

Imagine being in the trenches with this lot!  Paid a fortune and can't even be arsed to break into a sprint.  Thank fvck they aren't in the trenches they'd be court martialled for desertion! 

 

To mix up WW analogies, that's the blitz spirit for you!

Its a hollow victory. As its at odds with the performance and the trajectory of the club. We only win games due to standalone moments and the tardiness of the oppos in front of our goal. We dont win because our tactics, fight or motivation are developing. It was utter dross between the two (nice) goals. But that's Marti's vision for you.

Abdul’s superb strike papered over a load of cracks.

 

I’ll always be grateful to everyone involved that I’ve been privileged to witness Leicester City win the Premier League and FA cup. However it does seem that the glory days are well and truly behind us, unlikely to ever return at least to the same extent. This season is a bust. I hope we don’t get relegated and I think it’s unlikely, but it’s likely to be many seasons before we get back to the PL, let alone manage to stay there more than one season.

 

The players we now have are either very young and unproven, rather average, or approaching the end of their careers. Can’t think of any that are worth much on the transfer market and we seem to be broke. Difficult to be optimistic.

The trouble we have is we have Ayew making most of our sprints but because of his pace they don't classed as sprint so it as false number really

it's not a sensible comparison, this isn't anything like a war, and just as well, Bouba Soumare wouldn't have lasted long in the battle of Agincourt I'll tell you that much but also, what sets us on the right path long term? there's an idiom for precisely that thing if you're insistent on the comparison - losing the battle to win the war

[ARM1968]

Just bobbing around like a turd that won’t flush. Dire performance again and like most of our wins, individual brilliance. We have turned football into something that just isn’t a team game, at least not for us. 
 

just cannot enjoy this football or get behind this manager. He’s a dead man waiting. It’s not a matter of if.

He's getting played, at least. He should be grateful for being picked. Mind you there's a good technical footballer in there...somewhere. 

He was terrible last night. Probably the worst player on the pitch. He's the complete opposite of a good technical footballer and the epitome of a player who isn't that good but tries to make up for it with effort. He's only being picked because the options we have in that position are either injured or currently even worse than Hamza.

Respect needs to be earned. I'm not sure passing the ball a few yards to a team mate who then scores a goal from nowhere is really enough on its own. Sadly his performances since have not improved and he's been largely terrible this season. I'm not saying he doesn't try but he isn't good enough.

I'm sure Ben Chilwell was so affected by fans that his decision to leave was not at all influenced by the massive increase in his pay packet he received.

Yesterday Fatawu was completely ineffective until the 95th minute. This isn't a personal attack on him but he really was. He scored a great goal but otherwise did very little.

This is fan's forum/message board where people express opinions. Sometimes they won't agree with you but that is the nature of this sort or forum. I wouldn't take some comments too seriously.

Thing is, this will keep Marty in a job, until we get ****ing roasted by Cov and will be back to square one.

Probably not gonna read all of that post respectfully. Wont have my age questioned on a public forum by a stranger!!!!

It's not about age, it's about attitude. And I know some members know each other, but most of us are 'strangers' on here.

I'm serious about the negativity shown on here by supposed supporters and have been for the years I've been a member - so I'll ask, somewhat sarcastically I admit, is there a new meaning to the word?

Sure, Chilwell took the money and left, but he also took a lot of stick from that clique. I think I know why as well and it wasn't to do with his ability. It's always about money - but most of us don't have to go into work with our colleagues watching us and berating us whenever they perceive we've made a mistake. And getting generally kicked, pushed and wrestled by the opposition. 

Does Thomas deserve to be slagged off on here in the manner he has been? I hold to my opinion that criticism should be constructive - on here it rarely is, because it's a cosy little club for like to just have a go.

So why persist in being a 'supporter'. If you detest the players so much why don't you go down the Tigers. Serious question - why aggravate yourself watching people you clearly don't like.

I guess, after Kanté, no-one is ever going to be good enough for you.

It wasn't my comparison. But I took it up and ran with it. Something significant has happened to football and it's not just the footballing side. There was a time when supporters admired the players - even hero worshipped them. Some kids still do, but there's a jaundiced attitude haunting the crowds now. 

 

[Mike Oxlong]

People criticise and are negative as a reaction to what they have witnessed over many years regarding the mismanagement of the club on and off the pitch. They do so because they are supporters, because they still care about what has and is happening and because they still hope for a fundamental change in leadership that is required to halt the decline. The guardians of the club have been negligent, reckless, unwilling to demonstrate accountability and given the impression of a don't care attitude that permeates throughout LCFC at present. 

 

Poor signings and performances are always going to be called out by supporters as is poor leadership and management. Opinions on that are subjective and the way it is done is variable - by way of example my own view is that comments about Luke Thomas's alleged lifestyle are inappropriate unless the behaviours affect his play or attitude. 

 

Nonetheless, criticism and also praise are products of being a supporter. We rightly praise the leadership, management and players when things go well. I don't see why we shouldn't call it as it is when we are in such a mess. Being a supporter isn't about just continuing to accept the inadequate, the inexcusable and the unprofessional. It's when people can't be bothered to take an interest any longer that we should really be worried and for many of us, despite having supported our team for virtually all our lives, that is not too far round the corner.
