Meryl Goodrum Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Maybe the players should play for their team, regardless of the manager. We've all worked for bosses we don't like, for a lot less money, but if we decided to withdraw our labour in protest, we'd just get sacked.

Yes tonight's game was the highest, but all of his sprint ratings were much the same - about five separating them. As for the 'free BMWs' that someone quoted. What the hell is the big deal about a free BMW when you're getting paid £50-£100k a week?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not want to make too much of the 'players stopped playing for the manager' line, but does make you think of our situation. If I am a Leicester fan, am I mainly delighted about tonight, or bloody annoyed that they have been taking the pee for a fair part of the season? Or do I blame the manager for whatever reason not being able to motivate them? Pissed off with the players. It isn't a clueless manager, it's the man that got that team to win the league last year.

Fiale Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Is it true the Leicester players got their Agents to complain to the chairman and he was basically forced to sack Ranieri ? If so the Chairman is a fool........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not? I wouldn't put anything past the modern footballer. The first game after Ranieri goes Vardy is back among the goals and they are beating one of the leading lights again?(OK, Liverpool have been chronic in 2017 but they should still have had too much for Leicester based on current form). Very curious timing! I hope one of the hacks at tonight's game had the gall to ask the players in the post-match press conference why they deliberately got CR sacked. But I expect it was the usual "Just how important was it to get the three points tonight" crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Seems to me that with the modern era players at certain clubs here and abroard don't always put it in let's say- agents, wages, sates effort. If you look at them this season, seems to me Leicester have only 'turned up' about 12-13 times in ALL competitions.; That's it- if only some of us had such luxury in world of work eh, nice gig if you can get it etc. Never thought Leicester though- a midtable yoyo club, would be such a team.

What could a caretaker manager possibly say that would suddenly instil that level of motivation and desire in them? Something must have gone on behind the scenes and a fallout with Raneiri.

Would say it's fairly standard practice- for purposes of clarity I mean banners which criticise the club or are seen to do so especially- but perhaps is all, who knows?

Lack of Action Man Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 1) Leicester players got too big and assumed the squad would start to be strengthened with real quality players. This is why Mahrez, Vardy and Schmeichel stayed as they thought they would be playing alongside quality players. 2) Leicesters recruitment was poor, and the impact of the players they did sign was lacklustre. Some of the players in the Leicester team either got found out (Morgan, Huth, Drinkwater, Fuchs) as not being up to a second high intensity campaign, whilst others lost faith in the manager over poor summer recruitment (Mahrez, Vardy and to a lesser extent Schmeichel). This all combined to make Leicester a catastrophic failure this season with Ranieri at the helm, but in all honesty how much of it is his fault? I don't know the ins and outs of how their transfer dealings work, I'm just going by the most common stories I've heard from friends and reputable journalists. For me, those Leicester players have to take a long hard look at themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Orns Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Sod slagging the Leicester players off, I just enjoyed Liverpool getting a spanking (sorry @Davefevs ) They even had the good grace to grab a consolation that brought in a very nice btts treble.
