cjslcfc Posted 15 March 2015 Posted 15 March 2015 Mahrez looked even more embarrassing on MOTD. He was just a cheat. Nothing else you could say. Didn't see our players surrounding the referee to try and get Bruce sent off though, like has been suggested. In fact it's all Hull players trying to influence the referee.
adam Posted 15 March 2015 Posted 15 March 2015 Did I really early say we had? Really? Just sick of peoples small time ambition. There are so many people who see us as a championship club and that we are lucky to be in the league. You called us a 9% premiership club or some rubbish. We are far from that.

You called us a 9% premiership club or some rubbish. We are far from that. And yet there are some that see us as some massive club that deserves to be top 10 or something to that exent. We've won the sum total of 3 trophies in our history. That places us 26th= on the all time list of English clubs (info may not be 100% as is of Wiki).

Were certainly not that, but so many seem happy with underachievement.
cjslcfc Posted 15 March 2015 Posted 15 March 2015 Were certainly not that, but so many seem happy with underachievement. Technically being in this league isn't underachievement. However, I agree that under the circumstances of our resources, our success last year and not taking advantage when we've had the chances, we have severely underachieved. What does my head in is people who somehow think historically we have been a massive club and therefore should automatically deserve a place in the top league. Looking at it, number of years in the top flight also places us 25th in the country. So judging by trophy success and duration in the top flight we are actually historically over achieving a little. That's not to say we can't be ambitious and want to win more things or be a success in this league (or even play well for bloody once). I also think history is irrelevant as to whether we should do better in this league this year. You have to look at things like our squad, what we've spent etc... and our general performance. We've still underachieved when looking at it that way but many don't take that sort of perspective, instead resorting to the "we're massive, we should be doing better".
orbison Posted 15 March 2015 Posted 15 March 2015 Nugent would have done **** all if he was brought on after Huddlestone went off and you all know it. actually david nugent would be my first pick up front every game, and im deadly serious
Stevosevic Posted 15 March 2015 Posted 15 March 2015 Haha love to hear people defend Pearson after that. Awful
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 15 March 2015 Posted 15 March 2015 Haha love to hear people defend Pearson after that. AwfulEven the most blindly loyal Pearsonite can't defend him after that abject insipid pathetic no balls performance todayOnly Jamie Vardy really looked up for it (perhaps James Schlupp and Huth aswell?) I'm Leicester Til I die NOT Pearson until I die
st albans fox Posted 15 March 2015 Posted 15 March 2015 Spent the prematch hour with my son trying to get to our seats in time and work out how we would set up. After much chitchat it was decided we would be 5-4-1 without the ball and 3-5-2 with it. But where would mahrez fit into that ? And how would JV and krama set up ? Tbh, the fact that it turned out to be 3-4-3 must have confused hull. They certainly wouldn't have prepared for that. If anything, that makes our first fifteen minutes even more desperate as they easily coped. Thereafter, our inability to realise that we needed an extra body in the midfield high up to get in and around huddlestone and Livermore was shocking. It seems we are content to sit back and let the opposition dictate with the ball. AT HOME TO HULL!! they must have been nervous aswell. Give them tonnes of comfortable possession - that will cure this problem. We continue to bypass the midfield as we never have a spare receiver. we need to score goals more than we need to not concede. It's too late for draws. he needs to play a holding midfielder and two CB's. could even justify two holding midfielders. James and cambiasso are being asked to do three men's work every single game and at this level, teams will just pass around you. Someone must see it at the club - surely?!? EDIT: and the most puzzling aspect of it all was why play krama wide and JV down the middle when they play a back three which must mean there is room down both flanks? Surely vardy would be a better option wide (as was proved once krama went off). We seem to have managed to destroy the confidence of Europe's second highest top scorer within two months.
Oldfox67 Posted 15 March 2015 Posted 15 March 2015 I agree with the majority, NP has had the chance he deserved to test himself at the highest level, sadly for everyone he has been found severely wanting. What is the point in sticking with a manager who has proven he is a liability in so many ways and totally inept at the level befitting a club of our size. If we look at the bigger picture he has so many weaknesses, a manager in any other industry would have been fired long ago. He has been a footballing and public relations disaster, struggles to inspire players and is arrogant and bloody minded. We see it as supporters, the players see it, the owners have now seen it, the writing is on the wall. Lets start planning for the the future of our club!
Thrill Bert Fox Posted 15 March 2015 Posted 15 March 2015 Mahrez looked even more embarrassing on MOTD. He was just a cheat. Nothing else you could say.To be honest I have thought he has been overrated since he joined us and I cannot believe he gets the play time against others in the squad.Also in a dog fight relegation battle he was not up for it at all. Players we have in the squad who would have been are getting no where near the team Was, knocker, Hammond to name just 3 would have given their all. In stead we have Mahrez, Kram (still needs to settle into our leagues so give him the benefit of doubt) and schlup who I am a fan of but not sure if this type of game suits him. Please remove nigel from my club ASAP because LCFC are much bigger than NP.
narboroughblue Posted 15 March 2015 Posted 15 March 2015 Just caught up on MOTD and Kilbane was spot on. How a rank average footballer can spot that from one match and our management can't is baffling. Width the key yesterday and we made it narrow especially against 10. Still frustrated.
ealingfox Posted 15 March 2015 Posted 15 March 2015 One and only positive from yesterday - Robert Huth. Real shame we will not be able to snatch him if Mark Hughes wants rid as a PL Club will definitely snap him up for next season, whether it be Stoke or someone else. Proper defender of genuine top-flight quality. Just goes to show that if you can get the basics consistently spot-on you will have so much joy. Whilst watching yesterday I thought of the comparison with electronics. Not sure of the exact fact but doesn't turning the device on and off again solve 80% of malfunctions. That is basically the Robert Huth School of Defending right there. He makes it look easy.

He's head and shoulders above any other defender at the club and the type of Premiership quality that should have graced our club far more than it has done. I had my doubts when we signed him, but I was wrong. You watch him, you instantly see a quality footballer.
chris_lcfc_85 Posted 15 March 2015 Posted 15 March 2015 Completely agree with this.

I had my doubts when we signed him, but I was wrong. You watch him, you instantly see a quality footballer. I do agree to a point but I also thought Upson was excellent yesterday. Having said that, to play a back 3 even when they had 1 up front was truly baffling.......my 2 year old son could of done the same job
chris_lcfc_85 Posted 15 March 2015 Posted 15 March 2015 Anyone that knows me will know that I ALWAYS defend NP but im now at a point where you cant defend what he did yesterday. It hurts me to say it as I rate the bloke but his baffling decisions and team selection were just one step too far. I was so frustrated watching it and whilst the players need to do more, the manager has to take the majority of responsibility
st albans fox Posted 15 March 2015 Posted 15 March 2015 I do agree to a point but I also thought Upson was excellent yesterday. Having said that, to play a back 3 even when they had 1 up front was truly baffling.......my 2 year old son could of done the same job They played with jelavic and n'doye. That's two? they even kept two when we down to 10. PSG have changed the thinking after a red.

After they went to 10 men they played with 1 upfront against our back 3....... Plus a lot of sides play with 2 up top, don't mean you need a back 3/5 at home..... clueless management
Reg Vardy Posted 15 March 2015 Posted 15 March 2015 If Nige reads this I bet he has a little chuckle....all us experts telling him the management is clueless, should play a back five/ three at home ( He did) people saying Upson was great / crap, Wes the same......both great in my opinion,he only picks Schwarzer cos he likes him......honestly if he did everything everybody asked we would have lost yesterday....as it was we drew with Hull, it was disappointing in terms of the need to win, but as bad as we are making it on here, was it honestly......?
foxfanazer Posted 15 March 2015 Posted 15 March 2015 Really was one of the most uneventful games I've ever seen. Vardy was the only bright spark although I prefer Schlupp in there for Konchesky

One Legged Beaver Posted 15 March 2015 Posted 15 March 2015 This season is just so depressing. Such a low quality league and yet we're still comfortably the worst team.

It was a terrible performance in a must win game. Draws are no good to us now.
Guest MarshallForEngland Posted 15 March 2015 Posted 15 March 2015 You are either one of the planets bigget arse licking unknowlegable football fans and international standard Twat or a wind up or merchant, but either way, well done. Its second rate fans like you why we now have a second tier football team again. Even if it was a certainty that I was at least one of those 2 things you suggested (they aren't mutually exclusive so maybe I am both?), how would I be personally responsible for our current position The problem is that stupidity is often directly proportional to certainty. The thicker you are, the more sure you are that you're right and the more sanctimoniously you deliver your jibes and non-points. That's why you get absolute clowns like you speaking as if they are an authority on everything football-related, even though they're clearly a total dolt, and making insane claims about the reason for our lack of success, like the one above that wouldn't look out of place written in shite on an asylum wall.
cjslcfc Posted 15 March 2015 Posted 15 March 2015 According to his interview it does seem like Steve Bruce implied our players tried to get Alex Bruce sent off by surrounding the referee: http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/mar/15/leicester-hull-city-premier-league-steve-bruce-match-report?CMP=share_btn_tw “It’s not even a foul but [the referee] is influenced by the reaction of the players, which is creeping into our game." “We’re questioning it now with Chelsea in the European league, and when you see the antics with what goes on in Europe and all the rest of it I could take you to games when you’d be bored out of your pants because there’s no physicality in it.” I like Bruce but I think he could do with checking back on the highlights. I had some screenshots but the files seem to big for me to upload. Anyway, it's the Hull players and a couple of Leicester players surrounding the referee
