It could be worse. Paulo Sousa's Leicester v Portsmouth in 2010. That was just a horrible thing. The only silver lining was that it was clear he was out on his arse after that.
This is by some way the strongest and most successful LCFC I've ever seen, though admittedly I only go back to 1961. I'm reassured by the way the pre-, match and post- match threads merge into an incoherent mess of pessimistic verbiage as our resident cast of Captain Bringdowns run the rule regardless of whether we're up against clueless arriviste hopefuls or those living on past glories raising their game against a club who actually won the damn thing fifteen short months ago.
Just one other thought.
Any new manager would be afforded at least half to two thirds of a season to be judged but we appear to be being very critical only a few weeks into his tenure.
He will need to learn his craft and unfortunately rather quickly I feel.
Don't necessarily disagree with any of that.He had quite a few games to learn from last season too so about a third of this season max will do. I'm (not sure about others) critical because we've got him as a manager due to his relationship with players who were willing to relegate us last season due to personal differences with our greatest ever manager. He's got some mighty big shoes to fill IMO and a long way to prove the decision to back our pampered little darlings was correct. A turnaround in effort saved us last season, not Shakey. The manager of the nearest KFC could have overseen an improvement from those twats last year.
Don't necessarily disagree with any of that.
Thing is he wasn't Manager for the final third merely caretaker with very limited scope to do anything substantial in terms of personnel.
He needs to be judged in my opinion when:
1) Iborra is fit and playing.
2) Huth is fit and playing in a 5 or at least as a new stable back unit.
3) Nacho is fit and playing.
4) He has his own back room team and all is embedded.
5) we have played 19 games.
After 19 games I would expect us to have 30 points on the board.
I quite agree, with perhaps the exception of your choice of tense. This was the strongest LCFC I have seen. I've been watching a while too. Every wave breaks.This one too...but what a ride it was.This is by some way the strongest and most successful LCFC I've ever seen, though admittedly I only go back to 1961.

Out of curiosity. What changes to the side would people be making given the options?

Out of curiosity, do you include Vardy in this?I think the options is the problem.
We've still got the little group of pals of last season with their pal as manager. At the end of last season we could have brought in a manager, yes a manager, who could ship out the shit stirrers and bring in some players who will play for the team and not just themselves. Half of the ****s won't even be here in a years time anyway.

But scratch is generally disastrous.Very much yes. But seeing as our only game plan is about booting it to him then we need to keep him. Unless we start from scratch.

Agreed. Probably needs some slow change. We have tried changes to formation etc previously though and that went badly.
