Match Thread Leicester v Brighton

[City Fan]

How long have you been supporting the club?

Since 1994-5. Most frustrating manager we’ve had in my opinion. Not the worst, but the most frustrating.

 

[City Fan]

I’m not sure he’s the most frustrating manager we’ve ever had. Actually I am certain he isn’t. You only have to go back as far as the previous manager to prove that!

He was just shit.

 

[City Fan]

Absolute ****ing bollocks, that is

He’s either completely ****ing blind or completely ****ing stupid

He’s pragmatic and intelligent apparently.

 

[Brown Nose]

Nope, that’s just not right

The reason we ****ed up last year is because he switched the whole approach to matches, and moved away from 4-1-4-1 which had us romping away

Now he’s seen what a back four and wingers can do, but instead he’s gone back to the hapless back three and no width which has seen us look like turgid shirt against the might of Fulham

Nope, you're wrong.

He changed the formation when Ndidi and Vardy got injured. He rightly learned very quickly that 4-1-4-1 didn't work without them as our performances trying to play 4-1-4-1 without those two were awful.

If that’s the case, with Ndidi and Vardy in the team today, why isn’t it 4-1-4-1?

Too right. No way this current formation would ever serve up awful performances.

I'magine losing to Fulham with 3 at the back, that would be really awful.

Precisely.

so why was he playing 4231 when Wilf was having to play CB? doesn't make sense by your own argument

 

[Jeff]

A different corner.

Anyways, come on citeh!

Had a shit weekend, could do with cheering up!

The last two times Thomas started straight after playing in the Europa League in midweek, he was taken off at half time (Wolves and Fulham). After these two occasions, BR said that he believed that Thomas wasn't yet physically capable of doing two matches a week at a high level but that he was working on it and would get there.

Why is that bad management? It's good management.

We were awful as a team in both of those games. To a man. He's a better option than a knackered Fuchs, not least of all because we can then accommodate a back four and get some much needed width in the team. Like I say, he hasn't learned from the Fulham game.

 

[Skitzo]

A different corner.

not a bad idea but probably not Wilf you want it falling to

 

[popillius]

A different corner.

And we still didn't beat the first bastard man.

 

[City Fan]

Why no fans?

Have you been reading the news?

 

[Brown Nose]

Feck me, I give up.

I will just refer those of you incapable of understanding basic football management to this.

I'm looking forward to all the back tracking in the post match thread

its almost like asking Luke Thomas to be our entire left had side is a bit much for him instead of letting him play as a left back

Does it tell us how to set up against Fulham....? We could do with those points.

Do we have “most ironic post of the year” award at the 2020 TB award ceremony?

If so, I nominate this one.
