Stuliasz Posted 28 December 2014 Posted 28 December 2014 Schlupp Impresses As City Dominate But Lose Again lcfcratings.wordpress.com Friday 26 December 2014, 15:00Barclays Premier LeagueKing Power Stadium, Leicester Leicester City 1Ulloa 48′ Tottenham Hotspur 2Kane 1′, Eriksen 71′ Jeff Schlupp won his second LCFC Ratings Man of the Match of the season thanks to an impressive display in City's unfortunate 2-1 defeat at home to Spurs on Boxing Day. Leicester were on top throughout the majority of the game with Schlupp and Mahrez both threatening regularly down the Tottenham flanks, and this was recognised by the fans with Mahrez finishing second behind Schlupp after assisting third-placed Ulloa for City's only goal in the game. Performances throughout the team were good with 12 of the 14 who played earning above average marks, while Danny Drinkwater will think himself unlucky to finish outside of the top three after a very positive display. Only Ben Hamer and Wes Morgan were rated below average as the goalkeeper who won man of the match in the previous game was voted the worst player, mainly due to the Christian Eriksen free-kick from distance which had no right to beat Hamer at his near post. Danny Simpson narrowly finished below substitute Anthony Knockaert to round off the bottom three. Perhaps surprisingly the overall team performance rating did not match the heights of Sunderland or even Manchester City at home, with the few lower individual ratings in the team dragging down the overall mark. Only Sunderland, Newcastle and West Bromwich Albion have been voted as worse opposition than Tottenham as Mauricio Pochettino's side were put under pressure by the Foxes for large spells of the game. Referee Neil Swarbrick received mixed ratings and was voted below average. Nigel Pearson will be pleased to see a positive swing in confidence which sees him back above the 80% mark, thanks to the the sixth >10% swing in seven games. Most supporters believe he did a good job with team and formation, supported by the fact that his rating against Spurs has only been bettered by the games against Manchester City, Stoke and Manchester United this season.

The Doctor Posted 28 December 2014 Posted 28 December 2014 Fickleness eponymised this forum - such massive swings of support based on one result each time
Guest kristianity77 Posted 28 December 2014 Posted 28 December 2014 Fickleness eponymised this forum - such massive swings of support based on one result each time Thats not entirely true is it. A swing each week of around 10% and 200 people voting suggests that only 20 people who take part are undecided on whether to keep Pearson or not. Not really a massive swing is it?

Not really a massive swing is it? 20 of 200 changing their minds each week is a pretty massive swing - it's a small sample size, but a 10% change most weeks is still a 10% change most weeks. That the approval ratings change so easily shows how fickle we are.
Mark_w Posted 28 December 2014 Posted 28 December 2014 Fickleness eponymised this forum - such massive swings of support based on one result each time To be fair it's not based on the result at all. Still I take your point. 80% manager confidence warms one's heart.
MooseBreath Posted 28 December 2014 Posted 28 December 2014 20 of 200 changing their minds each week is a pretty massive swing - it's a small sample size, but a 10% change most weeks is still a 10% change most weeks. That the approval ratings change so easily shows how fickle we are. Not really, shows that 90% of us are decidedly 'unfickle', while 10% just can't make up their minds on NP. Stop trying to find negatives in our own support. We're all supposed to be on the same side ya know
Guest ttfn Posted 28 December 2014 Posted 28 December 2014 80% manager confidence after 2 points in 13 games is absolutely incredible. People bang on about our fans being shit and this forum being fickle or whatever but that's really heartening.
kingfox Posted 28 December 2014 Posted 28 December 2014 That's why I continued to support and stick by Schlupp. Might as well screen shot this for future reference.
sdb Posted 28 December 2014 Posted 28 December 2014 That's why I continued to support and stick by Schlupp. Might as well screen shot this for future reference. I'm as big a fan of his as anyone but he is inconsistent to say the least.
kingfox Posted 28 December 2014 Posted 28 December 2014 I'm as big a fan of his as anyone but he is inconsistent to say the least. That's been the case with every player this season tbh, even Foxestalk favourite Riyad Mahrez.
sdb Posted 28 December 2014 Posted 28 December 2014 That's been the case with every player this season tbh, even Foxestalk favourite Riyad Mahrez. Very true. Love RM but bar Spurs, not sure he's had a brilliant 90 mins from start to finish.
