Guest MattP Posted 28 September 2011 Posted 28 September 2011 People can have their opinion on Sven, like I stated many times, I back him for now but am not convinced. However comments like "worst team for 40 years" deserve every amount of mocking and abuse they get as they are clearly statements made by people with a serious mental deficiency.
southdevonfox Posted 28 September 2011 Posted 28 September 2011 I've been a city fan now for over 40 years so feel i'm entitled to an opinion however badly the forum bullies might abuse me for it-Sven is not, never has been and never will be the man for city, i've never seen a Sven team play with real passion and i'm sure his record bears this out, certain clubs need a certain type of manager and we just happen to be one of those-can't put my finger on it but when we get the right manager the fans know it and so do the players-i've not missed a game yet this season but i'm seriously thinking about not making the trip to the Riverside, our team is probably the worst team i've seen down here, we've got the likes of wellens, king and abe who are idolised but absolutely garbage, i've never seen a player play as badly week in week out as king yet he gets the nod every week--this really smacks of england in the sven days, i see us as having 3 premiership quality players, Casper, Beckford and Nugent-Beckford's struggling because we don't have a player in the team who can play the ball to him-simple as that, our corners and free kicks are abysmal and would not have been acceptable when o'neill was here--i've tried to avoid posting simply because of how people are ripped into for having their own opinion but just cannot stand being a part of this shit anymore-we are average average average and the long drive home on sunday really made me reflect-£150 for a day out for us on sunday to watch that shower of shit again! come on bullies abuse me! as city fans we really should be used to the highs and lows , i just think that all that happened in the closed season built us all up for the big kickoff , we just couldn`t wait for the season to start our expectations were so high and you couldn`t blame us . i would dare any of you to say you never expected better ( and still do ) we all love our team , i for one am hoping nugent and beckford form a great partnership and start banging in the goals , we may not be at our best but we are still up there and nugent set to come back is got to be a plus surely .
Jon the Hat Posted 28 September 2011 Posted 28 September 2011 The Op is clearly subject to a serious misalignment of expectations. This is not the worst team of the past decade let alone the last four.

Jon25747 Posted 28 September 2011 Posted 28 September 2011 worst team i've seen down here Ipswich 2-1 Leicester 04/05 City: Walker, Makin (Stearman 63), Dublin ©, Dabizas, Stewart, Gillespie, Gudjonsson (Nalis 73), Hughes, Scowcroft (Tiatto 70), Connolly, de Vries. Subs not used: Hirschfeld, Wright.
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 28 September 2011 Posted 28 September 2011 A little bit of a rash statement Cosmos. No one can even be bothered to bully you.
accessory Posted 29 September 2011 Posted 29 September 2011 Oh and just to prove my point against the side we put out against Sheffield United, imagine these gems playing at home in an ultra-defensive formation to get an idea of what utter bobbins we were back then.Fulop, N'Gotty, Kisnorbo, McAuley, Chambers, Clemence, Wesolowski, Sheehan, Stearman, Fryatt, Campbell. Subs: Henderson, Kenton, Porter, Newton, John Surely you can see we are nowhere near as bad as that? Also, your timing is well off considering we're five games unbeaten. That "ultra-defensive team" (which the manager picked for a reason) had scored more goals after 9 games of that season than the current bunch have managed during this one. What does that tell us? It was also able to beat a Premier team away from home and score three times away to a team that reached that season's Champions League final.

That we had enough about us to go on and score plenty that season. Expect we didn't, as we all remember.
wellyfox Posted 29 September 2011 Posted 29 September 2011 Worst team you've ever seen as a Leicester fan in 40 years? Right, let's go back over the past 40 years. 1970s - The Bloomfield era, one of the best footballing sides Leicester City has EVER produced, was quickly followed by the McLintock era. A team that set records for least wins, most defeats, least goals scored, most goals conceded and least points acquired. They finished bottom of the first division while Forest won the league. Vintage season. 1980s - Relegated in 1987 under Gordon Milne and didn't return again until 1994 under Brian Little, where we swiftly went straight back down. Some of the teams in between those seven years were embarrassingly gutless, including the team that needed a last day win against Oxford to avoid relegation to the third tier. 2000s - How about pretty much every team we put out between being relegated from the Premiership in 2004 and Pearson arriving in 2008? Craig Levein, Rob Kelly, Ian Holloway, Gary Megson and all that? Nothing I've ever watched under Sven has even come close to the depths of that defeat at home to Sheffield United, the sheer ineptitude of displays under Levein that generated about as much pleasure as pubic lice or the pitiful 2007-2008 season that saw us fall to our lowest ever ebb. Where we putting out players like Collins John, Carl Cort and Levi Porter. How about going back to the 2001-2002 where we started with a 5-0 defeat at home to a side that had just come up through the play-offs and achieved the scientifically impossible by actually getting worse? Christ you only have to go back to this time last year with that 6-1 defeat to Portsmouth to see how shit we were under Sousa. It says something when you're singling out Robbie Neilson for praise. Oh and just to prove my point against the side we put out against Sheffield United, imagine these gems playing at home in an ultra-defensive formation to get an idea of what utter bobbins we were back then. Fulop, N'Gotty, Kisnorbo, McAuley, Chambers, Clemence, Wesolowski, Sheehan, Stearman, Fryatt, Campbell. Subs: Henderson, Kenton, Porter, Newton, John Surely you can see we are nowhere near as bad as that? Also, your timing is well off considering we're five games unbeaten. So well said but can i just add. Hmmmmm David Pleat go to the game or stop home with a tin of dulux. Am starting to think if we won the nxt 6 games 5-nil some cock would be on here saying we are crap. Reason should have scored 6 in em all so and so missed a sitter. And cosmos if you think i am bullying DILLIGAFF
cosmos Posted 29 September 2011 Author Posted 29 September 2011 Ok Ok so i might have been a bit rash when i said the worst team in 40 years, i'll admit to that one. I think it's a bit unfair to be shouted at just because i don't think sven's the right man aswell. As a true leicester fan i'd like nothing more than to be wrong and sven takes us up. The thing is with holloways lot, his players were crap, were on crap money so we didn't expect much better. We have a few names on decent money and they don't seem to be breaking into a sweat and the problem is they even think they're good players and a lot of city fans are telling them that too. As for my grammar, the pricks who keep highlighting that really are the classroom bully type, doesn't stop me being a fan though does it, how many of the bullies were actually there last night. Sven out, you know it makes sense!
Thracian Posted 29 September 2011 Posted 29 September 2011 It's laughable to suggest this is our worst team for 40 years. It's not even our worst team for 10 years. In fact I'd put it on a par with Pearson's team that reached the play-offs which for some younger fans makes it a beacon of light. My own criticisms have nothing to do with thinking we're crap. Barring implosion we should be certainties for the top third. But that's not the target is it? The target is top two. I know there are some who seem to see the target as a play-offs place. But they're the sort who are happy with away draws and you can keep your lottery football for me. Top two or be damned would be my aim. And Who Dares Wins would be the philosophy. Or in the words of Springsteen's song..."No retreat, baby, no surrender." .
THEFATBASTARD Posted 29 September 2011 Posted 29 September 2011 Cosmos, you said you rate the saints and boro, southampton got beat by a patched up cardiff, ( that we softened up,) and the boro couldn't beat a "crap" Leicester team....care to revise your analysis? you claim to of supported LCFC for many years, have you learned nothing? chop and changing managers gets us nowhere..there is no magic bullet solution ,who would be next on the agenda for you? the next in a long line of savoirs? names please, so we can all shoot them down.. wise up, be patient and give faz and sven a chance.

As for my grammar, the pricks who keep highlighting that really are the classroom bully type, doesn't stop me being a fan though does it, how many of the bullies were actually there last night. Sven out, you know it makes sense! Holloway spent a fair amount of money - enough to ensure we didnt go down thats for sure. I certainly expected better when we picked up the captain of a promotion winning side along with one of their top scorers from the previous season. He had much more money then Pearson and wasted most of it. Secondly teams play in different styles. I guess you think that if we have a team full of Danny Tiattos and Iain Humes we'll go up right? I mean they used to run round like headless chickens all game and would invariably break more then a sweat! Contrast this to the likes of Beckenbauer, Maradona, Pele who must all be rubbish by your rationale that a player has to break a sweat to be good. Playing a patient, passing game that requires a bit more thought will stand us in good stead. Sven is a good manager and given time he will get us to where we want to be and hopefully sustain it. We are by no means perfect at the minute I agree but the two clean sheets away from home is a huge step in the right direction.
The Year Of The Fox Posted 30 September 2011 Posted 30 September 2011 The last two results have been impressive. Were not crap, but the majority of us fans thought we'd hit the ground running, something which didn't happen. I've always thought us an unlucky team. If our current players played for a different team, they'd probably be top of the league.
Number 6 Posted 30 September 2011 Posted 30 September 2011 Thrac makes a interesting point about our target this season: playoffs or auto? For me the target is promotion. If that means we scrape into the top 6 on the last day and manage to go up with a 1-0 win in the final (Mills header) and hanging on for the last 10 mins of the game I will consider the season a success.
marbelladave Posted 30 September 2011 Posted 30 September 2011 It's laughable to suggest this is our worst team for 40 years. It's not even our worst team for 10 years.

But they're the sort who are happy with away draws and you can keep your lottery football for me. Top two or be damned would be my aim. And Who Dares Wins would be the philosophy. Or in the words of Springsteen's song..."No retreat, baby, no surrender." . Nicely summed up, top 2 should be the aim, no question...... But at the moment we are nowhere near good enough to make that a possibility, let alone the certainty that our owners are expecting. Where my views differ from most is that I think we have a group of very good players, good enough for that top 2 finish, these views are not based on their performances this season because, Schmiechel apart, none of them have really impressed. We have brought in 6 players with decent Premeir league performance and 3 of the better Championship players from last season, that tells me that we should really be doing rather better than we are. I do not want to 'over analyse' this, but I put this down to our midfield, a lack of organisation and purpose, players in the wrong positions and a general lack of energy makes it impossible for us to settle into a decent, solid patern of play from which we can build the constructive, attacking play that we are all crying out for.
seenitall Posted 30 September 2011 Posted 30 September 2011 I've been a City fan for 4 days and in all those days we haven't scored a goal or got promoted or anything - I mean when I saw Sven was going to be our manager I thought we would win every game we ever played and that we could win some silverware quickly and play in Europe and everything. It's just so disheartening, we have had Sven for a year and if we changed our manager more often we would probably win all our games and play really nice football too like Man U or Chelsea who always win all their games do. So based on my support of instant great football because we are Leicester, I agree this is not the worst team in just 40 years but ever, anywhere in the world - now take your anti depressants and get ready to really moan if we don't beat Derby 9-0
Raj Posted 30 September 2011 Posted 30 September 2011 Remember when Messiah O Neil got abused and told to Fcuk off at the Sheff Utd game. We were piss poor for the last month or so and never even looked like getting owt. \We all know what happened after... THAT scenario alone should make people realise that managers should be given abit of time to do their work. we may not like it but look now at Derby and the results they are getting. People need a reality check. Im not slagging anyones point of views off,but saying this is the worst City team for 40 years or whatever is just plain stupid. Up the shitty!
l444ry Posted 30 September 2011 Posted 30 September 2011 Oh that City had support like these boys...... No oiks telling Walter Mazzari that his tactics are wrong.
seenitall Posted 30 September 2011 Posted 30 September 2011 After 9 games last year we were bottom of the league with 5 points and a minus 12 goal difference - could that possibly have a been a worse team than this or don't the results tell the whole story? We are in a much stronger position now and hey, guess what, we were so bad a year ago that we had to buy a new team to get anywhere - even Man City didn't win the league straight away with their billion pound team so a little patience children and Sven will lead you to the promised land and then you can all moan about being bottom of the premier league instead
Guest MattP Posted 30 September 2011 Posted 30 September 2011 Again, what has last year got to do with anything? It's isn't comparable to MON either, Sven has been here a year now.
seenitall Posted 30 September 2011 Posted 30 September 2011 Dur - the chap who started the thread said he thought the current team was the worst in 40 years and last years team was in the past 40 years so it probably is relevant after all - agree on the MoN thingy but not that much - the team that lost 2-0 at home to Sheff Utd that caused the booing probably was the worst team I have ever personally witnessed, although most of the Pleat, McClintock and Taylor teams were pretty rank too
