I love that every week everyone reacts to the squad lineup in disgust as if we've got a bunch of world class talent he isn't picking

 

I get where you're coming from, but nobody is forcing him to play basically the same team every week in the same formation. 

 

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. 

 

And if it's broken... Well, at least try to fix it. 

 

Nobody is worse than Ricardo and Mavididi right now. Nobody.

 

Alternatives might not work but this definitely won't. I'd prefer 'might not', to 'certain failure'.

FFS. Honking line up. I'd like to say it's been fun, but I can't lie to y'all.

[jonthefox]

As long as there's sideways passing , going backwards when we go over the halfway line , and act like Forrest Gump in the final third, we'll be fine. 

[Lionator]

We don’t have pretty much the tightest, most expensive NDA of any club in the country for no reason. I agree that the managers aren’t picking the team. 

[mohammedsaqib]

With the future of the club on the line, to pin it on Hamza and Winks - two of the least likeable footballers ever to wear the shirt, and not play our best player no matter how fit he is, disgrace.

 

Dim sum for lunch it is then.

Daka 4 goals incoming

Some kids just walked in with a "Luke Thomas can I have your shirt" sign. Not even joking. 

TBF, he could be trying to take matters into his own hands, take the shirt, run on and replace him. Go on, Nacho - grab the No 10 shirt and give it a go. You and the lad can't do any worse and will at least try.

[Nick]

We’ll probably scrape a 2-1 victory just so we won’t be put out of our misery quite today.

[oxtonfox]

Time for the first goal against anyone? 4 minutes for me followed by 11 minutes then 32 minutes. 3-0 down at half time. Pompey make a few changes then Rowett moves after 70 minutes. We’re completely goosed!

I just asked Chat GPT if Leicester were going to beat Pompey this lunchtime it just laughed at me !!😂

Seriously tho it recons it’s going to be a 1-1 draw saying we’ve so underachieved ( No Schitt Sherlock!) but I’m just hoping these overpaid overhyped overegoed bunch of W⚓️’s actually put in a shift and try at least to beat Pompey give the travelling faithful something to cheer about after following all that distance down south, the side Rowett has picked today looks on paper to win but we’re Leicester City we are dreadfully inept to show some passion some balls we’re like lemmings when we concede looking for the nearest cliff to jump off !!

BUT here’s hoping for 3 points today against a team who’s shown more passion & fight than our dipschitts it’ll be tough and I hope we can get a win otherwise it’s goodnight Vienna we’re packing our schitt Div 1 & no doubt Administration along with a nice big present from the fuching dodgy EFL of lots of points deductions again !

Rowett has a pensioner fetish

Knowing Rudkin he’ll probably say Rowett has done an excellent job and will keep him on for Div 1

We promote 

[Dmitry]

City (4-2-3-1): 

Begovic

Ricardo, Vestergaard, Lascelles, Thomas

Choudhury, Winks

Fatawu, De Cordova-Reid, Mavididi

Daka

 

The team that should comfortably be in the Top 6 of this here league. 

 

[Will1981]

Ricardo, Winks and Mavididi again, Rowatt is a massive coward.

[jimsmallman]

In what world, in a match that we are desperate to win, do you take the one lad who has at least tried in every game out of the lineup (Skipp) and replace him with someone who has played one good game in his entire time for us (WBA home two years ago)?

 

I just… good lord.

How are Pompy 13/10 to win?! Printing money. 

Draw no bet takes the risk of Pompey scoring 3 own goals out of the equation though 

[Foxin_Mad]

It a culmination of things that leads to one thing, a useless man child as an owner and his side kick. We don’t get here without bad recruitment, we get better managers at the club if they arent such incompetent bellends. Even ****ing Bournemouth can attract a decent manager, it’s clear no one wants to work for these chancers.,

So glad he kept the same formation. Was worried for a moment he would do something stupid and change it.

 

Back line of Begovic, Riccy, Lacelles, Vestergaard and Luke is simply horrible.

That’s the problem we SHOULD.  But unfortunately we have a squad of quitters and whiners !!
