Oh well. Didn't want to win the FA Cup anyway. At least now we can concentrate on getting relegated..
 
No he hasn't, no he isn't.

He hasn't had that much of a run but then again maybe he hasn't deserved it. CR claimed that he wasn't ready for the PL at the beginning of the season, as with Kapustka. some players who have never played English football do need to adapt and that can take a season. Both Musa and Kapustka are young on long contracts.
The difference is Kaputska is technicaly sound Musa is not, if he was not ready at the beginning of the season then why did play against Arsenal? the point is he is not ready and should not have been in the side today, apart from Ndidi no other signing has made an impact, today should have been about building confidence and getting the players used to each other after last weeks fiasco we should have won that game comfortably snd we had the chances to do so.
The buck stops with the manager I am afraid this smacks of Chelsea and Mourinhio last season, CR should of been more ruthless and looked to replace his back 4, if we can 45 million for two strikers but fail to land a decent centre backs says it all to me, it has been a shambles since pre season imo.
 
And here is our problem

Drinkwater has been wank. Mendy was ten times worse
Fuchs has been awful for weeks. Chilwell was an embarrassment
Vardy is shot. Ozazaki should be shot after that
Mahrez has been complete pish. Musa, well, I'm not sure I've seen anything quite like it
Andy King has been complete toss. Andy King was complete toss

So who do we have left upon which we now place our blind hopes ?


Gone
Ndidi
 
Just been out for a 10k walk. This living healthily stuff is going well. I'm in my best shape in years. Only needed a light jacket tonight. The season is changing for the better. I'm driving the missus to her friend's house in half an hour or so. She's out for the night so I'll settle down and finish the book I've been unable to get through due to a busy week at work. And an early night, I think. I can feel middle age creeping up on me. It fits comfortably.

I'll be up early tomorrow to join my mum, dad and 5 year old niece for a walk in the countryside. I'll notice that the birds are singing with a little more gusto, that the daffs are poking through the ground and that there are buds fighting their way through the ends of branches. I'll get home and I might get started on the last of the books I got for Christmas. I won't do a lot else. Iron my stuff for work, I suppose.

On Monday morning I'll get up with the usual trepidation ahead of another working week. But the journey up the A444 will be made almost entirely in daylight for only the second week in about four months. Things will continue that way. Before we know it we'll be in the midst of the spring bank holidays and thinking ahead to that fortnight on the Med.

And then, and only then, we can have a proper break from this ****ing football.
 
The only consolation is that being knocked out is better than a replay.

I don't agree. The FA Cup presented our best chance at salvaging this season.

Just have to hope we can extend our European adventure with a score draw in Seville!

Ranieri could have selected a really strong side but didnt because he is a clueless twat ! Ndidi should have been in the middle with mendy. Slimanni and vardy should have started to build confidence.
What is Ranieris solution ****ing Musa who is not even championship standard he has to go now !!

Slim Jim is still injured but I agree we should have put our strongest attacking team out with the intention of out scoring them.

If you let the 2015/16 version of several players play, then I'd include the 2015/16 version of Fuchs too. Especially after watching Chilwell against League One opposition today.
 
We don't have a strongest team, that much was confirmed today.
 
So Wague dislocated his shoulder I hear. How long will he be out for?
 
If we get relegated that's really nothing too surprising.

After last season, yes it is.

All those saying that this is the 'real' Leicester and that if last season hadn't happened this is where we'd be are missing the point. The point being last year DID happen and this season is VERY surprising.
 
It didn't get any better watching it for a second time this morning.

Benny was shocking for the goal wasn't he? Ran out of position in a 'Huth special' manoeuvre, lost possession and then daydreamed instead of getting back to where he would have been able to stop the runner. Chilwell was poor but Benny demonstrated basic ineptitude and caused the goal.

The 'finishing' of both Musa and Okazaki was up there with Akinbiyi and Benjamin. Completely extraordinary viewing.

Mendy was incapable of passing the ball to a team mate. Amartey totally out of position and wasted at right back.

I swear Ranieri wants out. There is no other explanation for someone losing the plot so dramatically. Sixty five, never going to repeat what he did last year, ready to pocket millions in a retirement kitty on his sacking, the lure of an easy life back in Rome is much more appealing than staying put. Looking into his eyes in the post match interviews, he's begging for the call from Vichai isn't he?
 
I've noticed before that Benny is not the quickest at getting back. Morgan, for all his faults, busts a gut.

And Mendy's passing was often wayward yesterday. Commentators mentioned it, suggesting maybe the pitch wasn't helping.

For whatever reason, a number of players had a particularly poor game - even by their currently average standards.
 
Wasn't Benny playing a more advanced position at this point?
 
I didn't see or listen to this match, so i'm curious, were Millwall particularly physical? I worried as soon as I saw the team selection that we were a bit lightweight.
