Half time team talk (Leicester)
- Thread starter Bluekiwi
- Start date
Every team dominated Leicster possession wise, that's just how they play. We we're shite and should've lost by a couple more so can't believe some are saying the game was even.To be honest after about 15 minutes, we did dominate possession and for periods we were camped in their half, but every time they broke they looked like they could score and for all our possession we didn't really!
Leicester allowed us to get so far and then we just had to pass it from left to right, without being able to do anything really dangerous with it.
So we probably did have a plan, but it wasn't working and Leicesters was, and considering we were all able to call Leicester plans/tactics, makes it farcical that Pellegrini and his team couldn't.
We can try and dress it up but we were a disgrace and Leicester were excellent in what they do. (But f**k me, didn't we allow them to be).

You think Silva doesn't contribute to the club.
Never said that mate. I'd read with my eyes open if I was you

I thought he nailed it pretty well to be honest and his assessment of the tactics was good to read.
That doesn't mean to say I'm not worried about these last few months under Pellegrini and there's a reason why he's being replaced in the summer, but the notion that he just sends teams out to do a job without any analysis of the opposition is downright ludicrous.
Personally I thought we were well in the game at half-time but once Mahrez caught us cold with that goal they had a huge foothold in the game so it was always going to be an uphill task from then on and when you're chasing a 2-0 deficit tactics can often go out the window which gives the opposition the opportunity to pick you off. Which Leicester did admirably.

Pellegrini admitted on sky the other week before a game (I can't remember which) that we only work for 10% of the week on the opposition, the other 90% is working on our own style
Absolutely bonkers he said that I couldn't believe it. Proves we go into every game with the same game plan regardless of the opposition
He said it on a video a few years ago. I remember watching it on youtube.

What gets on my tits is every week he says we continue to play the same way,he doesn't want to adapt to the situation no matter how bad the results

The plan was "no plan".
Come one CTB. Everyone knows the Micawber Plan. 'Tis a well-known, tried, tested and generally found wanting plan first hatched by C. Dickens not long after the foundation of THE FArce.

Well that was a fine response you knob. Rather than spout one word replies, lets here your side of the story that makes you so verbose.

You might hate him with a passion, but he is far from being a shit manager

Of course there was a plan. And for what it's worth, it was a pretty even game. We dominated possession, they played well on the counter.
But it makes our fans feel better to believe they know more than the Manager. Clearly, its just unfortunate luck that this man has managed 4 top clubs. Seeing as he is clueless and they are so clued in.
What a lucky guy. Able to fool managements of top clubs all around the world. From Riverplate to Villarreal to Madrid to Malaga to City. No one figured him out until the astute City fandom sourced him out for the fraud he is.
Just watch the clueless gitt swindle his way into Chelsea's pants next.
We should take down that ' Charming Man' banner and replace it with a 'Cunning Man' banner. Surely, he must be the world's greatest con-man.
Spot on Dax and well said. I also agree with your other post whereby a comment made by a player has been taken to mean only one thing because it suits their narrative.

Would you like therefore to qualify why he is a shit manager having had success both here and abroad.

Really? Have you not read this and many other threads on this topic? I think it has been covered somewhat extensively. If you are of the opinion that if a manager wins a couple of trophies he must be a good manager then I can't change it, it's pretty simplistic and false but it is your opinion

Yes were playing shit, yes, the manager takes some responsibility for it, but he has been royally shafted this season by injuries and players aging rapidly . But if you want to ignore what he has achieved in his career and call him a shit manager, that's your opinion too, albeit a very lopsided one.
Q? Is Moanio a shit manager?

If you criticise anyone on here then you're a 'hater', if you defend a player then you're a 'fanboy'. It's the internet.I don't hate him at all as mentioned many times, if it helps you to think that way fair play

To clarify are you basing your judgement on what they have won or do you accept that the tools they have need to be brought into the equation?
