Soumare gets a pass. He at least seemed to give a shit and to be trying. Bilal’s substitution was just plain idiotic. And then not even to bring him off for Buonanotte. I thought Ayew kept trying for 90 mins and in the first half was okay (which grading on a curve means he was excellent compared to the rest). He wasn’t but you get my point.
I’ve supported Vestergaard since we signed him. When he wasn’t playing under Rodgers I didn’t blame him. He was excellent last season. But now we are in the Premier League and what does he actually offer? Pace, No. Physicality, No. Aerial dominance, No.
I haven’t seen us play in person this season. For those who have, serious question - just how bad is Okoli? Surely he’s a better option. He has to be.
Tom Cannon is not going to save our season on his won. But the fact that we’ve scored 2 goals in 7 games, and we’ve seemingly recalled him just to sell him, can anyone make sense of that? We trot Vardy out game after game and he’s becoming less of an influence by the minute. Daka is not a viable alternative. Why not bring Cannon back to play? And anyone with any sense of foresight would see that we’re going down and we willl need a striker next season in the Championship. There is a ****ing reason why teams at the top of the Championship now are trying to buy Cannon. Now I realize foresight and the decision makers at Leicester are not bedfellows, but still. And if we stay up (lol) then there’ll still be takers for him in the summer. I mean, seriously, if nothing else, what have we got to lose by playing him? Oh he doesn’t score. Well neither does any other ****er.
Another genuine question, how bad can Edouard be that he can’t even get on the bench? Is there another for his mystery signing?
I now don’t think it’s too soon to consider the manager to be part of the problem. What are the patterns and the philosophies that he’s been working with the players on at our lovely training facility? We were getting worse under Cooper and I’m not gonna rewrite history and say we should have kept him. I think we were right to get rid. But we are now a much worse team than we were when we kicked off against West Ham.
I watched that game while catching up on work on my laptop. During the 90 mins I was resigned to what would happen. Texted my dad and said the first half was mirror of the Palace game and we’d be two down after an hour. I wish I could feel apathy for the club right now. It’d make things a whole lot easier.
