Foxes Talk goes into meltdown
- Thread starter Peanut Butter
- Start date
Understandable tbf.
tbf the hangover schtick.has a 4 game lifespan imo.
Definitely.
I hope they sack Raneiri and get in a new manager just before Liverpool match
I feel for Raneiri but realistically where could they go after last season? It must have been very difficult to try and motivate a team who knew they'd achieved the most amazing thing they ever would and probably didn't give a shit anymore. They seemed to come into the season thinking they'd be fine and be safe considering the won it last season.
Rough...
Vardy must be pig sick he didnt go to Arsenal and Arsenal must be delighted he didnt
Goes to show how good Kante is (among other things)
Just shows how fickle fans are.
Kante is good but he wasn't the only factor in their success last year, Vardy scoring with every shot was equally as important, now he couldn't hit a barn door.
They play us next in the league. I'm sure we'll do our best to try and cheer them up.
Crazy that they actually want Ranieri out. If they stay up they can easily bounce back next year. Still have some good players. The problem is they are in such a rot of form they probably need an outside force to come in and sort it out. The likes of Hull and Swansea are happy to fight a relegation battle but Leicester seem to still need bringing back down to earth. It's a really difficult situation and one that may be best solved by getting somebody new in.
Nah.
Their defence has been a shambles, Morgan and Huth look all over the place, far from solid.
Please do.
Not scored in 10 hours in the PL, enter Liverpool..........
Good thinking Sir. Is that game in 2 weeks?Definitely.

Shock horror Vardy has dwindled into nothing this season. It was obvious last season was a one season wonder.
Well, they can still win the CL, can't they?
jk lol
I'll be happy to see this cnut Vardy go down, right where he belongs.

As long as they are still in Champions League, Ranieri should remain manager. It will be interesting to see of they raise their level against Sevilla and if they carry it into the league. They are all mentally and physically spent.
fingers crossedPlaying at their level now. Their team is trash.
They are proper rubbish.
Of course there's a plethora of problems, but Kante held their ship together on the field all season imo.
Someone said 'give it Giggsy till the end of the season' and I don't think they were joking. Desperate stuff.
I genuinely feel sorry for Leicester and their fans. To accomplish the greatest sporting achievement and then getting relegated in the following season is such an anti-climax. If I were a Leicester fan, I'd accept this outcome though and will still give Ranieri time. I don't really get the whole dressing room issues because Ranieri seems like one of the nicest guys around. I still think they will survive, just barely. They have enough quality but its their attitude. What is Nigel Pearson up to these days? It will be funny if they sack Ranieri and hire him again.
They haven't been relegated. Yet.
This could be the issue though. I've had stupidly positive managers in the past and they are great when things are good but awful when things go bad. You need someone who can tear into people if required and let them know they've made a mistake. Not saying he does or doesn't do it as no-one knows, but it can be an issue.
Wasn't there talk of a movie about Vardy?
Film titles please:
The Bitch
Missing
Gone with the Wind
The Invisible Man
Psycho
Giggs should take the job if he's offered it. If he's waiting for the perfect job to come along he's in for a long wait.
after this season the phrase "doing a Leicester" will mean something different...
They're so bad this season. They're easily the worst team we've played this season... both times. I think the 3 worst teams we've played this year have been Leicester H; Reading H; Leicester A.
i think they will go down. The momentum against them is as strong as it was for them last year. Im not sure how they overcome such forces.
No. That Swansea game was the easiest.
I think its even bigger than that ... its an utter humiliation, almost as if invisible power forces are punishing them and warning others for ever daring to challenge the status quo last year.
In hindsight, the club leadership got it utterly wrong: instead of believing they could somehow solidify themselves into top 6 outfit, they should have sol out and restocked with new hungry players. The likes of Huth, Morgan, Drinkwater and Vardy seem to have morphed into punch drunk mercenaries who have lost their competitive edge.
In retrospect, Jamie Vardy rejecting Arsenal was probably the worst thing that could have happened to Leicester.
I guess though that's one of the things that separates the best players. That mentality to be able to win the title and then have the professionalism and drive to start again and not rest on your laurels. Sure Leicester were highly unlikely to be in the title race again but they should be playing better than they are.
