Nice one blob!

Sissoko should have gone square there.

At least it wasn't Seb Larsson with both hands.

One of those Premier League era only stats though.

No changes!?

Cisse on for Mitro, swap Townsend and Sissoko, anyone on for Colback, for me.

All we've been doing the last number of year is the blaming managers. Let's face the players are f***ing s*** and not even a top manager can improve them as we're seeing first hand. The people running the club are amateurs who don't have a single f***ing clue, pile of morons. The way this club has been run it deserves championship football and that's exactly what it will get. There is no hope this club is f***ed. If we get relegated and Rafa leaves, the obvious move is to sack Graeme Carr. Rafa's appointment has taken "bad manager" out of the equation.

Outplayed. Our left side is a complete liability and nothing is sticking with Mitrovic. As mentioned, he moves like his legs are made of lead. Perez is not in the game at all. Townsend has been about the only bright spot. Some blame for Eliot for the goal, but they'd come close a couple of times before that. They're also winning everything in the air.

ffs

Aye, looks like Rafa needs another week.

Go Go Chancellor!

More bother down our left.......

Wini asleep there. Lucky escape

Can Saivet play LB?

Colback ffs

Unlucky!

Thank ferk for that

2015 was a nightmare for him with the injuries and the gobbing and all that, but he might still have it in him. He scored five in Dec 2014, Pardew's last month. For the first time in ages, we have a manager who can make the right judgement.

We were much better and unlucky with the penalty. We worked some openings against an organized team, but didn't make the most of them. Leicester's game plan is to give you the ball but let you do nothing with it. We weren't that far off managing it. Sadly all ballwatching for the overhead kick. He was under no pressure at all. Other than that, we defended pretty well. We'd have lost at least 3-0 under McClaren. Lots of niggly niggly and diving from them. They're not as endearing close up.

Indeed. I thought we'd turned a corner with the West Ham home game but he followed it up with Ayoze as a single striker. Something that will never work. After barely surviving under Carver, it was risky appointing a manager who'd just lost a promotion battle due to his team's defence going AWOL. He's proved incapable of putting out a team that is organized and hard to beat, which has to be the first aim of any relegation candidate.

I think people are being unfair on Pearson who basically set Leicester up for this season. He gave Mahrez and Vardy lots of playing time when they were not producing goals and assists every week. He also brought in Huth. The thing I would question, along with Moyes, Benitez or whoever, is his ability to take the unmotivated and unorganised jumble of talented and untalented players we have and immediately start getting them to produce enough extra to get results. We're clearly going down with McClaren, so we have to take a punt on someone. If it were me, I'd give Rafa till the end of the season and offer him say a two million bonus for keeping us up. Aim high for a good manager and set it up as a no-lose situation for them. fwiw, I also thought that Bobby Robson applied for the job by himself, rather than being asked to do it. I think John Hall is rewriting history by saying he wanted him and went out to get him.

Dem tactics :drool: :drool:

Aye, we're down.

A new, new low.
