Post Match Leicester 0 West Ham 2

[Brown Nose]

So who exactly are the 'disruptive players at the Club who need to be moved on', and please tell us how they have been disruptive

And I'm genuinely interested - you seem to have some information about players being disruptive, so i'd like to hear it

Leave him alone. Apparently, he agrees with me 20% of the time so he's alright.

And that's more than your wife has ever done

He's a real keeper

Andy King and Danny Drinkwater. Hated each other they did.

You said there are players at our club who are a ****ing disgrace

So if it's not that four which ones are they ?

Who suggested insider knowledge? It’s based on individual player performances. The shit show since the FA Cup exit cannot 100% be attributed to Puel. The club structure and the player’s commitment has to be questioned.

The band of brothers have become a ****ing clique. The title winning players whose form flatlined under Ranieri 4 months later. Ditto those whose effort seemed to vanish soon as safety was guaranteed this season.

We were going down last year under Ranieri. The players got their way and Shakespeare was appointed, he provided the manager bounce. We were likely going down with Shakspeare in charge this season, cut to Puel’s appointment - the immediate revival in fortune and performances until the wheels fall off again.

Fool us twice shame on you.. three times and burying the manager becomes an easy way out. Of course this is how football now works with player power. However it’s my opinion that the Director Of Football is a soft touch and some of our senior players and their agents are only too aware of this and know how to exploit it, be it in contact negotiations or soon after the new man comes in.

Still no names or specifics then?

 

[homer]

Disruptive players
Undermining the manager
A clique
Snakes
Etc. Etc

Not a single name.
Ever
Not a single example of this actually happening
Ever

Yet the made up story drags on and on and on

Just stop it

So if the players are toxic, how come we had a few excellent games from them AFTER Puel was appointed but before he started tinkering?

I think if the manager had gone a few weeks ago, the team would have reverted back to that pressing, fast counter-attacking style and we would have been doing much better.

I am not sure if players, as a group, choose to play crap. There are obviously communication and tactical issues which have resulted in the players not being sure about how they are supposed to be playing.

I certainly blame the manager for trying to play his future style with unsuited current players, instead of playing to current strengths and changing the style when he has new players in.

Either way, because he will not play to current strengths, or communicate effectively with the players, I think he must go.

The ball was outside the box when he started to handle it but the offence continued inside the box so it should have been a penalty.

The rule regarding 'continuation' (an offense first ocurring outside the penalty area which then continues inside the area) only applies to holding back a player, not handball.

Have you evidence of that?

The ball was outside the box when he started to handle it but the offence continued inside the box so it should have been a penalty. Nor was it difficult for him to avoid handling; he grabbed the ball as he fell after losing the challenge. If the offence had been completely outside the box, he should have been sent off for denying a goalscoring opportunity.

Whichever of our three views of the incident is preferred, the ref got it wrong.

I'll give you this though. If the ref played advantage after the first handball because he thought Vardy had the opportunity to run onto the ball, and then the defended handled it again in the area, he could have given a penalty. But I think it all happened too quickly for him to play advantage. I'd need to see it again but I can't be arsed to watch MOTD.
