Feed The Yak!!

Yep, we looked good against Bournemouth last year in the cup. Enzo would probably always have left us in the summer due to the size of the Chelsea opportunity and our board misleading him. That said, if there was a fraction of a chance of him doing a McKenna and staying on due to the relationship with the fans, our lot sure as shit snuffed that out.

He can be frustrating but we can't possibly afford not to play him. He's one of the few players we have who can run at defences

Strong disagree on Vestergaard. Think we actually gain a lot having someone so composed on the ball at the back. Just ideally needs to be paired with someone pacier.

The club should be working overtime to bring in a new right back asap in Jan

It's maddening. Iversen is sat right there on the bench. Reeks of Ruud not doing his homework tbh.

When did Ward rise above Iversen in the pecking order? Seriously asking in case I've missed something. Last I recall we were essentially relegated before Rogers finally realised his mistake and played the superior keeper but by then it was too late. What did Ward do to regain favour?

Yeah it's concerning. Presumably we've just seen us in the most free-flowing attacking style we'll see all season?

Half on Okoli who can't even get in the team. Don't want to write players off but it seems like torrid business.

The irony of this is the unyielding support Rodgers had from our lot even when it had been clear for 18 months that he was dismantling the side and would get us relegated. Those that called it out were assaulted in the stands. If the board hadn't sacked him, I truly believe our lot would have been happily clapping along to a midtable championship finish this season. The footballing literacy of our fanbase must be amongst the worst in the country.

Was this when 80% of the forum thought we were going to lose in the play-off semi finals? It was his first season in English football, his second ever as a manager, and he reinvigorated a totally broken team and won the league while one of Leeds or Southampton will fail to go up. In Arteta's first season, he had Arsenal fans calling for his head too. But their fans can get away with being less patient and more entitled. We don't have the resources or wealth of alternative options to do that but I think that ship has sailed. I can only imagine what Enzo thinks of our fanbase. The same ones showing him no support are now outraged that he'd be open to exploring other options

Seen this sentiment parroted a lot recently and couldn't disagree more. I swear people on here either have amnesia or are willfully misremembering the absolute state we were in at the end of last season. Couldn't buy a win even against championship opposition, our best players leaving for a fraction of their value, the most fragile Leicester defence any of us have ever witnessed etc etc etc. Rodgers left us in disarray and many were resigned to a playoff finish at best. In the summer, everyone on here would have snapped the hand off of someone offering us top of the table with five games to go. Don't pretend otherwise.

40 yard hoofs up the field: Stoke 34 - 1 Leicester How many times must Enzo get absolutely schooled in the art of proper out-of-your-seat English football before Top sees sense and gets rid??

Because qualification for the Super League is predicated on past Super League performance. The big 6 could finish wherever they liked domestically and would still qualify. It would absolutely kill domestic football as we know it.

Infuriating how quickly some of our fans have been willing to turn on Maresca. Contrast that with Rodgers being given free rein to dismantle the club, with us getting battered left and right by championship sides like Forest and Blackburn, after several transfer windows and with Maddison and Barnes etc in the team. Maresca has transformed not only Ndidi, Vestergaard, and our entire defence (which seemed completely beyond repair), but also the mentality of the team and the atmosphere around the club. I always back us to grab a late winner or bounce back if we concede as opposed to folding like a deck of cards as we would be guaranteed to do under Rodgers, even against midtable championship opposition. If people can't see the polar difference in management then I really do despair.

Yep, assuming he'll play the Faes role at RCB.
