And can anyone shed light on the few morons who just kept singing for Choudhury all game?

 

He epitomises everything wrong with the club. League One ability on premier League wages with a champions League ego. 

Were they Bangladesh Fanboys off facebook? Or maybe from his local pub?

Absolute dross.  The style of the two goals should be bread and butter for this team, not attempted once, 90 minutes apart. 

 

Our wingers seem to want to play themselves into trouble to escape it with tricks rather than break away to create a chance.  Then Mav crosses at the last minute after constantly running into players and passing backwards. Frustrating to watch, if he just did the basics his numbers would be higher, along with his confidence and usefulness to the team. 

 

Monga got zero help all game, Ayew was shouting at him, drifting into his area and not passing when he was free but waiting till he was marked. Hamza/Thomas wont help the wingers, if they pass back to the LB they always send it backwards rather than to play them back in. Monga will be amazing once he’s woking with a real manager and players. 
 

Our wingers have zero instants to run forward into space to receive the ball and the fullbacks don’t look to play them back in so who is at fault for attacks breaking down so easily, that’s drilled into them or not being corrected by the manager.

 

It’s strange that a modern day CB has such poor passing abilities.  Okoli can only hit the ball at a slow/medium pace no matter the distance.  He is one pass away from a counter. He always lets the ball roll too far away from him so he has to wind back to kick it and allows the forwards to apply pressure.  He can’t seem to pass on the front foot and even poorer when he’s moving.
 

So between the defence we have a keeper who won’t throw the ball quickly, fullbacks who won’t cross the halfway line and pass the ball, instead choosing sideways, a cb who can’t pass and another who walks to the halfway line and then bombs forward to create something but is out of position.

 

Things can be fixed with a manager and staff with ideas and motivation.

Anyone else completely emotionless when watching us? Didn’t even bat an eyelid at an injury time winner.

 

I want my Leicester City back.

Commentary from tonight soon after the first goal something like: If they can produce football like that, how are they where they are in the league?

 

Stats shown:

Distance run over season: 24th

Sprints over season: 22nd

Afield duels won: 24%

 

WTF??

Entitled? Lazy? Lack of fight? Lack of wanting to play for Marti?

 

There is enough debate about our place in the footballing hierarchy and where we currently sit, and that its not unheard of to be where we ate. But even at our lowest points, there was effort and fight.

 

Bottom of the league in distance run? That may be the most disappointed I've ever been in our club.

Like in any job if you see your so called leader off over the other side of the world and doesn’t give a f*** then they’ll think why should I 

 

Again like everything this club will continue to reap what it sows

What's been so infuriating about the decline under Aiyawatt is our tendency, which has gone on for years, to be able to paper over the cracks. Happened for so long of the 2021/22 season when Rodgers was performing terribly, but seemed to keep spawning enough wins to create this illusion that we were doing 'OK' before the inevitable crash the following season. In that season itself, Rodgers often seemed to get a result to create the illusion we would survive before it did enough to nail us to relegation.

 

It was happening under Cooper - terrible in virtually every game. Under Cifuentes, it might just be even worse.

 

On a single game basis that game tonight might be the most extraordinary example yet. I cannot remember a team ever playing so badly and winning as much as that game. It was an absolute disgrace of a performance.

 

Individual quality of James and Fatawu is the reason we're not in the bottom three. It really is as simple as that.

 

When that's gone next year. Oh boy.

21/22 was absolutely peak Rodgers when it came to papering over the cracks. 

 

Heading into the final 4 games of the season we were 4th bottom on xP. Then along come Watford (relegated), Norwich (Relegated) & Southampton (15th) to propel Brendan into 8th. Comically lucky. 

 

Take away with 23/24 season (We came out with some utter dross that year too) and we have genuinely been a bad team to watch play since before Covid. Sickening.

[l444ry]

Positive: Three points keeps us a bit further from the relegation spots once the points deduction hits. Empty seats won't go unnoticed in Bangkok, despite some desperately blaming the cold weather.

Negative; Keeps Cifuentis in place a while longer. It's just death by a thousand cuts while this inevitable scenario plays out.

 

[stox259]

Tactically brilliant from Marti. Made sure the West Brom keeper had nothing to do all second half so the poor bloke was freezing. When the only shot on target came in the 93rd minute the keeper didn't stand a chance. Man's legs had gone numb due to inactivity. That's different level tactics people. We are lucky to have him. 

[Rubbersoul]

First goal came from quick one touch passes and the second was from actually putting a cross into the box and there being at least 3 of our players there! 
 

Truly groundbreaking stuff.

Some of the comments on this topic and board.  Seriously, are you really Leicester fans?  I do question your support or lack of it.  Wanting your team to lose,

really?  Whatever, the rights and wrongs of the Club at the moment re ownership, direction, your beliefs you should never wish your club to lose.

 

I would have hated to have been in the trenches with a lot of posters on this forum in the first world war.  Seriously.

 

Whatever your beliefs, wishes are, you should never want your team to lose, just in your minds you may get KP's downfall or Cifuentes sacked.

 

Onto the game, we didn't play well especially second half.  Stolarcyz in goal kept us in it with two great saves.  Choudary at left back didn't play well, this does seem to be a problem position for us this season needs addressing.  As cold as it was, it was bloody freezing I will take the win.

 

It was nice at the end to shut the West Brom fans up, stunning goal to win it.  Fans, that were there celebrated like mad when it went in.

 

I played football, years ago,  as anyone knows who has played, no matter who you are if you don't take your chances when on top you may always get punished, especially when there is only one goal in it.   Enough said.

What relevance is the first world war and being in trenches to what youre crying about? Pure weird

Think Hamza was trying to get Marti sacked, looked annoyed when the winner went in too

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

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.

I enjoyed the goal very much and was delighted with the three points as I think we'll need every point we can get this season given the likely points deduction. 

 

I also understand why some people feel conflicted. It's because they think that if we lose it will hasten positive change, whether that be the sacking of Cifuentes or Top selling the club. Personally I think they're naïve to think that, which is why I don't feel any conflict when we score a last-minute winner. I'm ecstatic because we desperately need it.

 

My point is, I don't think those who want us to lose (if that's what they feel) are guilty of moral cowardice. It's just down to a mistaken assumption that losing will change things for the better.

It's nowhere near comparable. If you want a war comparison, the general of the army decided to forfeit his attendance for the umpteenth time. 

 

You don't pay/invest time & money to be part of a war. When you have that investment, you have the right to turn it off. Particularly when the other party of the relationship is toxic. If the club wants customers, they will get customer behaviour.
