Have a word with yourself ****in’ hyperbole comes out every time we drop points without fail, I love it.

No jokes here. All he can do is foul excessively and kick a ball really hard meaning his free kicks have ocassionally has gone into the net from 35 yards rather than row z.... the bloke is ****ing dreadful.

 

[Skitzo]

Such as?

Simpson & Morgan for a start

 

[Jeff]

Iheanacho - pass success: 0%

 

[Skitzo]

Iheanacho - pass success: 0%

is that passes to him? like Vardy he seemed to just watch the ball sail over his head

 

[Jeff]

is that passes to him?

Passes made by him. He only made two passes in his half hour on the pitch, and both of them missed their target.

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

First and last ten minutes where we looked as though we wanted to win the game and seventy minutes of shite in between.

 

[fitz]

Dire. Transition though, keep saying that until August and hopefully by then we'll have players capable of playing this awful style effectively. Our high league position speaks volumes for the quality of the Prem this season.

 

[Lako42]

An absolute joke of a performance from players and manager alike.


Kasper has lost the ****ing plot, he needs dropping immediately.


I can't be arsed to summarise any further, a pathetic approach at a pedestrian pace.

yes but were they simple 5 yard passes or attempted through balls? stats are good but you need context still

They were attempted 5 yard passes that ended up as through balls...


...to the invisible blue man

 

[Jeff]

I agree - it's something I've been saying for ages when people have been talking about passing stats. It's why Wes Morgan is regularly one of our top passers, because he rarely plays a difficult pass.

But the fact is that Iheanacho was hardly involved in the game, and when he was involved he gave the ball away or was dispossessed.

 

[Jeff]

Wes Morgan is regularly one of our top passers

I've just checked today's stats, and Morgan was our equal top passer today (along with James), with 87% success.
Our worst starters were Schmeichel with 55%, and Albrighton with 64%.

I’m not arguing that, but your words were exactly “one of the worst players ever to grace a football pitch”. I’m not a fan myself. But by virtue of him being in the Premier League for more than half his career, he’s automatically in the top 0.1% of all players everywhere ever. Just since our new stadium went up we’ve seen at least 100 Leicester players not fit to wipe Charlie Adam’s arse. He is not, by even the most liberal stretches of the wildest imaginations, “one of the worst players ever to grace a football pitch”.

I was genuinely asking as I couldn’t remember

I was being ironic and sarcastic and a little moronic.

That's my gig. **** off and find your own patch.

 

[Micky]

Gray needs loaning out to the championship. We miss okazaki in that role.
Simpson is not good enough in the system that Puel is trying to play.
James is tidy and decent on the ball but he doesn't possess enough of an engine to make a difference. Vardy is completely isolated.
I was bored again.

Puel has got a huge summer ahead. If we continue with this approach we need 2/3 new players that suit the style. If he gets it wrong, I predict he will be toast within a year.

 

[Red Leicester]

Well it looked shakey, it was shakey, no plan b, all we need now is for Huth to regain his place instead of Maguire, Transition over.
We are back to perhaps where todays group of players belong, where we were when Shakey left. We have players who have shown promise but we keep returning to the same old failures, what must they feel?. Sorry no 7th and no FA cup progress.

Clearly there was a modicum of exaggeration in the statement but there is such a thing as playing above your level. Maybe hes been very fortunate in his career to have been carried by team mates of significantly better ability. All I can say to that is that just because a bar of gold looks like a bar of gold, and is surrounded by other bars of gold does not mean that it is not actually a steaming pile of dogshit - disguised as a bar of gold
