Match Thread Leicester V Everton Sunday 29th Oct 2017

[Blue 1]

Been thinking a lot about Walsh, and for all Koeman's faults I think Walsh sold him out totally with the striker issue. Why he's still here I don't really know, it's his failure as much as it is Koeman's.

 

[Zeke]

He had got a habit of that, it's ok as long as he does it right, he's been a pro long enough to work out when the other striker needs support or when he's required to drop back.

Unfortunately he didn't seem to realise DCL needed help though

Luckily as astonishing as it seems, there are 4 worse teams than us. Even Stoke are pretty shocking.

how has it come to this??

What does nil satis nisi optinum mean ? I'm sure now I've got it wrong !!!!

Hope for the best, expect the worst.

 

[Abraders]

Bilic is a poor manager and West Ham look very poor. Now fat Ron's gone, I am confident Rhino will improve things for us... he bleeds blue

Well so far nothing has changed, albeit a short period of time I would've expected a bounce but maybe that's just me.

Needs to do far better, I couldn't care less if he's a blue or not because it ultimately counts for jack all

 

[Blue toffee]

90% of the time we do not start the game well. That has been our case for a long time. That has nothing to do with the manager. Its about players taking to the opposition and trying to express themselves.

Even if we get Bolasie, Coleman and Mori back they won't suddenly light the place up coming back from a confident team they left back into a struggling and scared team with fans willing to abuse you at the 1st chance they get.

Sick of seeing this week in week out. Hardly ever start positively and when we do it lasts about 10 minutes. Opposition need one chance and we're behind. Not seen 90 minutes of effort once all season. We may not have the pace or quality but they're just so spineless. Poor teams are embarrassing us. The tough job for the next manager just got tougher. Can't see it being Unsworth now and that might be the best for his and our sake.

 

[Somerset Blue]

Yep

 

[efcforever]

Id bring Moyes in on a short term deal, I think he's better than Unsworth, and better than the other options out there like Dyche and er actually there is no one else decent who'd come. Cos make no mistake, we are going down unless we get in a scrapper

I think Moyes would take us down. He's done at this level.

"What kind of striker do you want?"

"I want Giroud"

"K, someone like Giroud, got it"

"No, ONLY Giroud"

If it happened too late in the window to really do anything, would that not really be in Koeman?

 

[a bell maul]

I remain confident that we'll pull through this slump. I saw something in our captain's eyes at the end of the game. Capt Jags might be getting long in the tooth but goddamn he's an inspiring leader. And today I think he was roused.
The troops will rally around their leader

No players up for the fight, that´s what´s so dangerous.

Who in our squad will walk through a wall to keep us up? They all look like soft lads who´d rather be somewhere else.

This.

I was thinking maybe Joe Royle could give them a dressing down in the morning and then give them a Dogs of War speech. They'd probably all just start crying though.

Before today I thought/hoped the problem was largely (no pun intended) Koeman. Sadly our issues are clearly a lot deeper than that. Personally, I'n not convinced there's 1 worse side than us in the league atm, never mind 4

This x 10 ! Just can't see any leaders anywhere !

My gut tells me that Koeman wasn't and isn't a bad manager. I defy almost anyone to get a tune out of the squad as it is.

There only has to be 3, although I can't see who they are either.
