Corky Posted 27 February 2011 Posted 27 February 2011 Ricardo didn't have the best of games yesterday, if I'm honest I'd prefer Weale in goal but I won't chant for the bloke as it will undermine the confidence of Ricardo, which will, in turn, affect our team. Sven will make his decisions based on what he sees, Weale may well be back in goal next week, but what if he makes a mistake? Will a chant for Logan to return echo around Loftus Road?
Haydos Posted 27 February 2011 Posted 27 February 2011 Anyone can see that Weale is clearly better than Ricardo. Surely it's common sense to play the better keeper. Or maybe Sven wants us to get 6th on the final game of the season and is intentionally losing us points by playing Retardo to set up a grandstand finish. Not really true.
Happy Fox Posted 27 February 2011 Posted 27 February 2011 I just seen that Roy Caroll is a free agent. Dida or Roy Caroll ? http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/3432246/Roy-desperate-to-get-back-in-the-game.html
Leicester_Mad Posted 27 February 2011 Posted 27 February 2011 Ricardo makes me nervous whenever the ball comes near our goal...i fear a mistake Szczesny style could cost us
anotherharboroughfox Posted 27 February 2011 Posted 27 February 2011 Ricardo makes me nervous whenever the ball comes near our goal...i fear a mistake Szczesny style could cost us surely the same could be said about Weale when a long shot were to come in?
21st Century Fox Posted 27 February 2011 Posted 27 February 2011 This thread gives me a headache, I don't know why I keep reading, its like picking a scab. I can't see why any supporter wouldn't get behind any player that pulls on a Leicester shirt and tries his best. Ricardo obviously features in what Sven is trying to produce tactically. I'm not exactly sure who people have a beef with, Ricardo for playing (his job) or Sven for picking him?!
Thracian Posted 27 February 2011 Posted 27 February 2011 Yes because us fans have a better judgement of players. Us fan who see them for 90 minutes a week. Rather than Sven who sees them everyday for hours. What a nonsensical argument that is. All managers have the chance to see their players throughout the week and lots of em end up in relegation places or as clapped out failures. As a Leicester fan I'm surprised you've never noticed that. It seems to me that Sven is doing okay because he's got stacks of money but some of the players he's spent it on haven't impressed me one bit. In fact those who've impressed me at all are about the same in total as those who have. And much of our recent success has been down to the goals/assists of King, Wellens and Gallagher - players who were all here before Sven arrived. Yes Yakubu has made a contribution but I think we've lost something by playing him too and not countered that.

What a nonsensical argument that is. Tell me why they have scored? And how come we won a few games also?

Obviously some teams are going to get relegated, because of the factors, injuries, suspensions, funds, errors, schedules. We aren't going to get anyone better, ever, so just get behind him and believe. PS. Sven I mean, not Ricardo.
Leicester_Mad Posted 27 February 2011 Posted 27 February 2011 surely the same could be said about Weale when a long shot were to come in? It could be i suppose...I just feel less nervous with Weale in goal! Personally feel that Weale is a better shot stopper and "cross catcher" than Ricardo. Ricardo could probably do a job outfield the bloke is a skillful footballer. Don't see what chanting Weale does though, Sven isn't going to change the keeper during a game unless there's an injury!
funkyrobot Posted 27 February 2011 Posted 27 February 2011 It's not worth getting bothered about chants. Ricardo is a seasoned pro on a good wage and I'm sure he's not bothered with a minority chanting Weale. He's probably so focused on the game that he doesn't hear it anyway. A far more annoying chant when you're trying to watch a game is 'stand up if you love leicester' which results in getting your view blocked by a fat arsed git in snow wash denim and a decade old Leicester city coat!
Webbo Posted 27 February 2011 Posted 27 February 2011 Yes Yakubu has made a contribution but I think we've lost something by playing him too and not countered that. I think there may be something in that.
Number 6 Posted 27 February 2011 Posted 27 February 2011 I really want him to put in some good saves because I love the distribution. Weale hasn't got that in his locker but is the 'safe' option. Ric's catching improved against Cov so have to see that as a plus. Would start with Weale against QPR though, we could be put under a lot of pressure.
ajthefox Posted 28 February 2011 Posted 28 February 2011 I've only just seen the goal on the FLS and I'm sorry but that's really poor goal keeping. It's gone straight past him, and don't give me any of that "didn't have any time to react nonsense", bad goalkeeping. Granted PVA didn't do too well and maybe the CB could've been tighter on King but when it comes down to it someone with his pedigree should be saving that every time. I'm behind whoever Sven picks and I won't chant for Weale while Ricardo is playing, but I wonder how long we'll continue to play Ricardo if he lets in goals like that.
luckyalex13 Posted 28 February 2011 Posted 28 February 2011 i can understand why people are nervous with Ricardo in goal but chanting Weale's name is not on only going to make him worse. does anyone remember how the crowd used to boo everytime Jimmy Willis touched the ball, it was disgusting! he did eventually manage to turn the crowd round, hopefully Ricardo will do the same. Just get behind whoever is playing!!!
lestajigs Posted 28 February 2011 Posted 28 February 2011 Apart from conceding the goal which he should have done better at, he did very little wrong. The chavs in L1 are an embarrassment shouting for Weale, and as for cheering whenever he caught the ball in the second half. Why do half the ****** on here think it's only l and k blocks that chant for weal, are you deaf?? I was back off sk1 and there was a good few chanting him in there!! And marlon king should off scored again when he took it round Ricardo, and missed a open goal, what a statement " he didn't do LITTLE wrong" Coventry were shit, he had **** all to do, and when he does do things wrong there major things that will cost us games!! Sorry don't trust him one bit!!!
zynxus Posted 28 February 2011 Posted 28 February 2011 sven is playin ricardo so he can be ready for the play-offs where he will take us through having won on penalties
Charl91 Posted 28 February 2011 Posted 28 February 2011 sven is playin ricardo so he can be ready for the play-offs where he will take us through having won on penalties Up untill Ricardo costs us our place in the play-offs
Jimmy Posted 28 February 2011 Posted 28 February 2011 A message from Sol Bamba to all the Weale chanters in the national press, I'll sum it up for you.. SHUT THE **** UP YOU 'TARDS

Joe. Posted 28 February 2011 Posted 28 February 2011 Ricardo is a walking time bomb, and it won't end well for anybody if we keep on playing him. He's already cost us against Coventry, and I'll put money on him doing it again at some point. So far I've trusted Sven with every decision he's made, even this one to start with, but surely he has to see that this just isn't right. QPR is too big a game to risk it - they will punish mistakes. He's not good enough, simple as. It will all end in tears.
thybluefox Posted 28 February 2011 Posted 28 February 2011 So then, what I want to know is there has now been 10+ pages of people saying Weale's name shouldn't be chanted when Ricardo is playing, where are all the people actually chanting it? Too ashamed to say you do it probably. Personally think part of the problem, for instance when he came out to King, is that he's trying too hard to command his box and get the ball. To say the bloke doesn't hear the chants is just crazy. I have no doubt that given continued game time he'll settle in to the team, and into English football and he'll be as good if not better than Weale. I am unsure though whether we really have the time to let him settle in, we need to start keeping clean sheets now, not in 5 or 10 games.

DeclanMC Posted 28 February 2011 Posted 28 February 2011 Made a Tumblr log, on this very issue on saturday. Just going to put it out there. Weale vs Ricardo : The Reckoning After seeing Ricardo play at both the Bristol City and Coventry games, I would like to draw a few conclusions that I have made. Firstly, I do not in anyway condone the chanting of Weale during matches while ricardo is playing, it’s disrespectful and tantamount to booing in my opinion. Ricardo’s distribution is very good for a keeper and certainly in keeping with Sven’s philosophy at Leicester. His shot stopping is also good, smothering balls well and keeping hold of them. The main reason most City fans have a problem with him is that he cannot deal with hardly any high balls or handle a ball under pressure. Instead of a Chris Weale punch, Ricardo merely flaps at the ball, often leading to a goal or a chance for the opposing team. Chris Weale has his good days and bad days at the office, however his good days vastly outweigh the bad. Some have criticised Weale for his poor distribution, preferring the lofted ball upfront rather than the short pass or throw. However with the arrival of ball playing defenders such as Van Ahnholt or Bruma, surely Weale can be trained into distributing the ball to one of these players instead of the long pass Pearson signed him for. While I hold no grudges against Ricardo, I think that his style of play does not suit British football, physical as it is. In the long run, I would like to see Chris Weale back in the side, if not only for his skills but for some unity amongst the fans. After all, who likes to see the people sitting around them jeering their own players especially when we are playing as well as we are currently (Saturdays’s result notwithstanding!)
