LCFC 0-4 Oxford, FT Thread

[James and his giant peach]

Once again took Alves off for no reason ridiculously early, the only player who looked like making something happen. Burns is shite. Souttar playing walking football, Thomas back to normal, disgraceful performance. 

[ozvaldo]

Took my 4 year old. 
 

Left after their 2nd goal. 
 

What an absolute bag of shit. 
 

The best bit was watching my boy playing some games pre-match and having an ice cream.  I could have ****ing stayed at home for that. 
 

Im sick of this club. 

[SilverFox54]

In the games I've seen, it's all quick short passes. It seems no one has any confidence on the ball and they want to pass the responsibilty onto someone else.

[oxtonfox]

yeah but we murdered ‘em on possession stats didn’t we Russell 

[Pita]

Another master class by Martin.  How not to play football

Fans in general definitely know more than what they’re given credit for. If you watch enough football and aren’t a total zombie it’s not that hard. 

Russell Martin is the epitome of the pretentious ex-footballer who thinks the fans know nothing. Another Brendan Rodgers that wants to present football as complicated and impossible for the peasants to understand.

 

Like Rodgers he might change briefly to save his own skin, then complain we didn’t control the game and go back to ruining the club. 

[Trent Steel]

What an absolute joke

 

4 nil.loss at home 

 

All these w@nkers we have brought in. Bunch of clowns 

 

Why the fvck they want that t0sser Martin in control is just another spear in the side

 

Laughable

[Ian Nacho]

I just feel numb to it. I feel our club is being taken away from us.

The arse end of the Maresca season was rough as **** but his football at least had some purpose, like it or loathe it. I genuinely don't know what the gig is with Martin's style beyond possession for possession's sake.

Maresca at the end of the season could see this twat of a manager coming and stuck his side 5-0 to the good. The similarities between our game today and that game were huge. Same fallures so much 

[Blueman1967]

Worst game l seen down there, lost 4-0 at home in league one

[ElusiveEd]

Was so full of hope and optimism after Tuesday night but to be brought back down to earth like that was hard to take.

 

Then to hear RM afterwards blame everyone but himself was sickening.

Very unfair on Brendan Rogers, RM will get nowhere near Liverpool or a FA Cup and top 5 in the PL with us.

Living in Plymouth, I read in the local news that Cleverly was bitterly disappointed with the Leicester result "they are there for the taking", it's not only us that know this.

Now an awful lot more do too and if nepo boy fails to sack the serial failure then we are certainly heading down again.

Mass exodus 76 mins. Heard a young lad ask his dad if he can support Chelsea. Made my heart bleed. Hate what they've done to our club. Hate it 

 

 

What did his dad say?? 

[DerbyshireFox]

I hope to god nobody clapped that off, young players or not! 
 

Never in my life have I left a game after an hour, but I couldn’t stomach any more of that shit. Didn’t bother going on Tuesday.

 

Never felt so strongly against a manager as Martin. We all knew what was coming, but I don’t think any of us expected to lose 4-0 at home in this league to anyone. Clearly however we are that bad. 
 

I feel for the young lads playing this way, they could learn so much more from a competent manager. The guy is a charlatan of a footballer manager. It’s mad to think he was a centre back, his teams are sieve like defensively. It’s utterly unfathomable that we thought he was the right man going forward. And sadly, we all know that he isn’t going anywhere. 
 

I don’t recognise my club anymore, it’s so sad and depressing to watch.

Just want to mention Bristric almost passing the kick-off out for a corner after the fourth goal 😆

Are we allowed to say he's another shit signing yet?

No it’s not unfair. People need to get this into their skulls. Rodgers, as a personality, is extremely similar to Martin. It’s not that they aren’t capable of tactical understanding or better ideas - it’s that they both put their branding first. Seeing this coming was even more important than seeing that these managers were going to make crap subs. Egos that big, ones that are more important than the club, ruin everything.

 

Frankly, I could have won the cup and finished top 4 if I was managing that Leicester squad, but that’s not the point I was making. You’ve just misread my post because you were aching to defend someone who took the Mickey out of you.

 

We didn’t learn anything. Pearson knew how important personality and character was, we hire people he would have nothing to do with and that’s as crucial as the lack of talent has been.

I haven't seen the game but listening to the game on my phone, it sounded like we should have had two penalties in the first half, it goes without saying that would have changed the game and the outcome. It sounded like the referee was poor.

I was there, again.

 

The referee influenced the scoreline but not the result and certainly not the way RM sets us up.

WOW have we ever had a worse defence?

[Bert]

Probably one of the worst performances I’ve ever seen in my 32 years as a match going fan. Too easy to play against with and without the ball. Broke us down the way Martin thinks we are going to break teams down. Their first shouldn’t have counted but that wouldn’t have had any bearing on the game. 

[ElusiveEd]

I watched BDCR very closely in that 1st half.

 

Just about every single f*ck-up involved him. 

 

I wouldn't have just subbed him, I'd have sent him home.
