Post Match Newcastle 4 Leicester 0

[Blue Maniac]

If some Elon-level wankspangle ever takes over I’m absolutely done

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

I would just say Ward was absolutely at fault for the second goal. Fair enough the marking wasnt great either and our full backs have both been so piss poor that chances arent being cut out at source out wide but any competent goalkeeper comes and claims that ball fairly easily. Ward just stood grounded and watched..

It’s more than being directly at fault generally.

Defence might have some confidence with Mads behind them. Ward is unconvincing to say the least.

Nope.

He's in the position he should be for any keeper. If Hermansen is in goal for that one, they still score.

I think it’s more to do with the fact that DW being between the sticks makes am already shit defence, double shit.

We need to remember back when he had a run in the team under BR, the defence were terrified of passing back to him and this made things worse.

I also think he does the basics really badly, he saves very little and lets in far more goals than an average keeper would.

I hoe to god that Hermy isn’t out.

I wouldn't argue with much of that...
...but he wasn't at fault for any of the three that went past him yesterday.

He isn’t generally at fault as such for a lot of goals we concede. He just doesn’t make many ‘bread and butter’ saves.

 

[SilverFox]

He’s shit. Let’s not pretend otherwise.

 

[Brown Nose]

So far this season, we've faced 99 shots on target which, as of now, is the highest in the league.

93 of these were against Hermansen and 6 against Ward.

Hermansen has conceded 31 goals and made 62 saves. So he saves two out of three shots he faces.

Ward faced 6 shots and conceded 3 goals. Obviously, the sample size isn't great but I recall that his save percentage was quite close to 50% in 22/23 as well.

Basically, Hermansen is a very good shot stopper and Ward is a very bad one. Hence the wide difference in quality between the two. That's the most unusual thing to be honest. There is rarely such a drop off in quality between keeper one and keeper two.

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

Nope.

Disagree. Half decent keeper will come to collect or punch that. Poor goalkeeping despite the fact the all around defending wasnt very good either. Doesn't absolve Danny Ward for his part in the shitstorm....

 

[Miles Away]

Playing like we did last season would have afforded us no fewer points than we have now I'd wager. We aren't doing the very basics right at the moment and that has nothing to do with a step up in challenge and everything to do with players finding themselves without any instruction or direction. Cooper and his team are absolutely to blame for that. I'm not absolving the twats that hired him of anything, but to suggest that Cooper didn't damage what was a good foundation is foolhardy. He did, and probably irreparably in terms of us staying in this league. He had every chance to change things if he'd wanted to but that required him actually having a plan to aim towards. It's absolutely obvious to anyone (well, nearly anyone) that he had no such plan. It was all 'back of a fag packet' tactics and selections that were wholly unconvincing. Once we got rid of Cooper, we were then fishing in a pool so shallow, the fish were scraping their arses on the bottom.

After three games and with our injury and missing list as it was today, making judgement of RvN and what he is able to do is premature. He may be complete shite, time will give us a definitive answer to this but four points from West Ham and Brighton isn't a terrible start. Today he got it wrong but he was picking out the sweetcorn from a turd; it had no chance of ending well.

The last bit about recruitment doesn't make any sense. If you think those masterminds behind the purchasing/loaning of Edouard, Okoli, Cordova-Reid, Ayew and Golding are somehow free from any blame for our position then I think you're being far too forgiving of their incompetence. I guess your argument is that they didn't know which system to buy players to fit....

Well, if they'd have thought about buying actual footballers instead of complete garbage, then at least that would have been a start.

Think I agree with most of that.

 

[Miles Away]

Nope.

He's in the position he should be for any keeper. If Hermansen is in goal for that one, they still score.

And I definitely disagree with that.

 

[Brown Nose]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You can't possibly argue that Ward was in position for their first goal though can you?

Eh?

He was at least 60 yards out of position.

 

[Blue Maniac]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

He was at least 60 yards out of position.

He’s got you there, pop.

Have we all forgotten how good Danny was when we battered Walsall 0-0?

 

[give_us_a_wave]

Aiyawatt is definitely not the person to blame. He obviously doesn’t understand football, (why should he, he pays other people for that). He is not in this business to asset strip the club and make a fortune. I do think he feels a connection to Leicester more than any other owner in recent history. His main flaw is, he’s too loyal and takes too long to get rid of dead wood. He is actually a Top owner, and we are lucky to have him. Imagine if some Elon Musk/American businessman bought the club. I’d fecking hate it and we’d be fecked.

OK. Here's the thing.

What he actually is, is a very rich man who has done precisely nothing to deserve the riches he has. People like him have a very basic need. They need to have their ego constantly fed. In Rudkin he has the perfect match.
Rudkin is also a recognisable type. A consummate politician. He's managed to manouvere himself into prime position with KP first through the old man & now through the heir, with such success that he's intimately involved not only with the football club but their racing operation as well.

So, as I said, a politician. & like all politicians he has the invaluable skill of being able to get himself put into positions of power & authority over things that he has absolutely zero knowledge of or ability to handle.

Nothing good will ever happen at this club while he remains. But on the other hand, Top will probably never employ a replacement unless it's another arselicker. Which makes getting rid of Rudkin almost pointless.

It's all a bit shit really.

If you really want to wake Top up, you build banners and make Rudkin the culprit. You sour that mood and make it untenable for Rudkin to stay.

You protest before the match. You protest during the match to oust Rudkin. You get it on Radio Leicester. You get it on TalkSport. It’s like there’s a bogeyman behind the scenes but Leicester fans are either too thick to realise it or too pussy to do something about it.

It’s clear and obvious that we need a proper DoF to plan for the future and run the football side of things properly. Someone who can look at the club objectively with a list and start ticking things off.

Do have to be the one to organise a giant banner during the match? I’d probably get banned from entry, condemned and caused a trouble-maker for changing the club mood or whatever.

If you want someone to go and if he’s that inept, then ****ing oust him.

It’s been like that for a long time - won’t change now

Even when people did finally start protesting about Rodgers, our great Foxes Trust posted an article saying they were all idiots. Wankers

I was just enquiring about the odds of Southampton getting a 5-5 draw (500/1) and saw that I'd won my bet from yesterday.



Bizarrely, this is because Choudhury was replaced by Okoli who got booked in the last minute. That counts as a win apparently!
