Post Match Leicester 0 Liverpool 3

[homer]

Well that was simply wonderful

For 15/20 minutes we looked ok - high press, aggressive, committed. But then the bone idleness set in and they started to control everything.

And then the floppy haired **** ****ed up hopelessly, and the man that used to be Wilfred Ndidi just gave up Football altogether right in front of our very eyes.

Then they all simply gave up - with the exception of Luke Thomas who came on and looked like he actually cared, in stark contrast to the rest of them

So many places to go in terms of criticism - Ndidi, Soumare and Faes were appallingly bad - but at least two of them shouldn’t have been on the pitch in the first place. Smith is just a ****ing idiot for having this lot playing after that abject surrender against Fulham.

Barnes and Castagne were hopelessly careless and really not bothered. Evans was a complete mess - another who shouldn’t have been anywhere near the team today - not fit and simply not capable any more. **** off

But, **** me. James Maddison and Youri Tielemans. Hopeless, hapless, uncaring twats who ambled around and pissed away any last vestiges of respect I had for either of them. I genuinely cannot wait until those two ****s are out of this club. Neither of them should play another minute of football for us. Utter utter spineless ****s, the pair of them. I ****ing despise them.

 

[Volpone]

Faes being a liability today was inevitable. I said so in the pre match thread. A ****ing shrew would have had the sense to see it coming.

Castagne is a **** of the highest order. Constantly playing on the opposition because he cannot be arsed. He's long since signed out and gets zero of the criticism that he deserves.

Tielemans has forever sullied his achievements with the club. I hate the bone idle wanker with a passion now. **** off.

Maddison and Barnes I cannot stand either. Two twinkle toes, fair weather, piss takers. Soft as shite and we see you pretending to give a shit. You're shite actors as well as footballers.

**** the lot of them. Never wear the shirts again you ****s.

You forgot Ndidi. What an absolute fraud he is.

 

[Steve Coles]

I keep catching myself being utterly dismayed at the fact we are a Championship team.

Imagine if someone told you a few years ago that we'd be in the Championship and Forest and potentially Cov would be in the Prem.

Not totally convinced that we are on recent performances. We may well be far far worse than that.

 

[Joe_Fox]

So I followed my usual routine lately. It goes like this:

(Remember that a Monday 8pm kick off for me is a Tuesday 5am kick off)

1. Get up, and avoid finding out what the result of the match was (getting harder and harder to do)
2. Start watching the full replay
3. Get to 10 minutes and think, OK, we are in this.
4. Roll eyes when opposition score.
5. Watch five more minutes, jumping forward 10 secs at a time whenever it's a corner, goal kick, delay in play, etc.
6. Get too eager on the skipping forwards and notice it is now 2-0 to the opposition.
7. Fast forward to last ten minutes of the match to see if anything has changed - spolier alert, nothing good has happened.
8. Fast forward to the end of the match to see the players clapping and drudging off to sit on their massive pile of cash.
9. Turn it off and try and do something positive.
10. Go on talkingballs.co.uk to double up on the doom.

We would have been the same. We had to do something. But they sacked him at the wrong time, and didn’t have a plan B.

With nine games left we should have kept Brendan. No brainer

An appeal to ignorance of ever I saw one.

 

[londonfox]

No we shouldn’t.

 

[ThaiSweetChilli]

No we shouldn’t.

Yes we should have.

There were 9 matches left with a coach who IMO could've got the same if not more out of this bunch of miscreants than Dean Smith has. The evidence was there that he went through waves of form as we did earlier in the season.

Brendan was and is a ****, but with 9 games left they should've stuck. All this has done is bring in a far less capable manager who's ended up putting almost the exact same useless twats out. They're still lacking bollocks.

Plus it boils my blood that Brendan ****ed this and doesn't get a relegation on his CV. Even if it were for personal pride, at least he personally had something to fight for for the last 20% of the season.

Sack him with at least 15 or 20 matches left or stick with him. And when you sack him, at least replace him with someone with a no-nonsense management style.

I've gone from watching the 25 minute highlights, down to the 9 minute highlights, and recently I just watch the 3 minute highlights.

It makes the disappointment a lot more manageable when it's all over in 3 minutes.

(Which is incidentally 2.5 minutes longer than it takes to disappointment my wife...)

I do totally see your point.

I guess I’m just glad the ****er is gone from the club. For me it’s a case of better late than never. And I think we’d be in the exact same position if we hadn’t sacked him. It’s just a shame we didn’t start succession planning until we’d sacked him. A shame but not unsurprising.

 

[Micky]

You lot need to stop caring. The game is not what you want it to be and it never will be now. The next set of players will walk through the door and it'll be same old, same old. Money, status, Twitter, Instagram, fakery bullshit....

Let go... The game has gone.

 

[taupe]

Started well enough. Then fell apart. They're not a team.

 

[SJN-Fox]

With nineteen games left we should have sacked Brendan. No brainer

Fixed.

If only it were that simple. I hate all of that and more. Everything about the modern game, plus VAR. At my age I should know better. At my age I should be protecting myself. I shouldn't be getting home after midnight to witness this kind of shite. I should be shamed of myself. Somebody offers me a ticket and I'm there. @Real Sharapova , I blame you for this. It was your seat I was sitting in.

Nine ****ing relegations. Nine ****ing relegations and this one I feel bitter about. And when I get home I find Mrs boc has made me some Millionaires Shortbread - a whole tray of it. I want to cry. It'll all be gone by Wednesday. Another example of my shocking lack of self-control.

I should be ashamed of myself.

There’s no weakness is destroying a tray of Millionaire shortbread.

 

[big_mac4824]

I don't think I want to see a single one of these players here next season.

Ricky P still gave his all and you could see he was fuming with it, he is the only player I would retain and even that is a gamble if he can stay fit.

 

[homer]

The morning after the night before

You know when you go out on a massive bender and get absolutely shitfaced and can’t really remember what happened - and then gradually you get little flashbacks of all the awful things you got up to

Thats me today - keep getting little flashbacks of Faes stupid ****ing bewildered face after the first went in, as if it was everybody else’s fault but his, or that ****ing Ndidi hash up for the second, or Tielemans jogging about doing **** all, or that total **** Maddison losing the ball and falling over for the umpteenth time, or that fat **** Smith standing there and doing precisely **** all when it all rapidly went to complete shite and they all gave up

Hideous stuff

 

[Rock Fox]

It was a bit disappointing, but I think it was disappointing for the players too.

Instead of wasting the evening by aimlessly strolling around the park in a blue a shirt for 90 minutes they must have been disappointed that they weren’t posting on Instagram, playing golf at the training centre, dreaming about Kelly Brook, gambling at a casino, buying something Gucci or Armani, shagging their WAG’s other friends, sitting by a swimming pool, lying round with their earphones on, eating Monster Munch, polishing their FA cup winner’s medal, playing candy crush, checking on their latest endorsement deals, booking their holidays, chatting to Phil and Holly about the stress of being famous, thinking about Kelly Brook again…

...and whatever else professional footballers do these days.

 

[Fox Fan]

Matt Piper was absolutely devastated on the radio last night. For me he's calling it exactly right, yes Rodgers was obviously at fault, maybe for the majority of what has happened this season, but you don't just fall from winning the FA cup and finishing 5th two years ago to abject relegation - there's clearly something rotten all the way through the club at the moment.

 

[taupe]

There were individuals trying, it just wasn't collective. Madders illustrated often that he was trying to do too much, one touch too many, trying to win it on his own. Maybe trust has gone and there is acrimony, distrust and blame in the squad. Whatever, we ceased functioning as a team.
