Maddison has a lot to say for himself, if he does go in the summer it's one thing I won't miss to be honest, especially since he's basically copying all the crap Rodgers comes out with

Why would a player pick the wrong club for himself? 

...you will have to ask yourself,  why is it the wrong club!!!

  If you gave conversed with him and he has stated his preferred destination then fine. If however you are speculating based on this seasons performance,  then we are both guessing what he is thinking.  I just feel that he likes to be close to his family, and you can see at the start of the season he wanted the armband.

Yeah I can't stand all this positive crap  he keeps coming out with either. Would be far more appropriate if our current captain said we've got no fcuking chance of staying up so let's not bother, we're doomed. Bollocks. If he didn't give a fcuk he wouldn't say anything. If a few more of them showed half of Maddison's passion on and off the pitch we wouldn't be in this relegation shit.

Exactly 😂. Absolutley hilarious how many simps this has struck a nerve with

“Smugness” “fans and journos haven’t got a clue about football”?

 

How the hell have you read that from Maddison’s comments? That’s exactly the crap people are saying that some of our fans are just looking for something that isnt there to attack Maddison with. It’s bizarre and pretty sad.

Welcome to foxestalk, the only fans forum that contributes fcuk knows how many pages to criticising their best player .

 

[Ric Flair]

It's not difficult to see what sections of fans react well to and what they don't. In times of adversity and struggle, you want to see accountability, humility and determination.

 

Have we seen enough of that? Maddison has spoken well in the past about our standards and saying it how it is but I do think what he's doing here has missed the mark a little.

 

However, I'm not that arsed about it really. If these players genuinely aren't as concerned about our plight as some of the fans are, and can use that confidence to defy what we've seen on the pitch by these players for the majority of the season then all of this will be pretty much forgotten.

 

I'll tell you a man who wouldn't buy in to any of this nonsense though... Timothy Castagne 😂😂😂 the bloke has consistently said we're shit since the moment he got here hahahaa

Agree and it’s a shame we couldn’t have pushed on from them 2 fifth place finishes as I think if we had of nipped

in top 4 every now and then he’d be staying

You don’t see through it? The PR Spin he’s putting out there? Really? Ok… maybe I'm too cynical - for me, just like Brendan, it’s operation protect yourself in full flow

I can understand your comment with regard to Rodgers, but what's maddison trying to protect himself from? He's our best player by far every game.  I doubt he'll be here next season so why does he need to put out any pr spin?

Exactly, why does he? But that’s what it looks like to me. 
Maybe he’s trying to distance himself from our crap form because of pride / embarrassment, especially now he’s in and around the England squad. “I’m really good but everyone else’s rubbish” 

Again, maybe I’m being cynical, but I see it on a weekly basis with Brendan, see it on a daily basis with our government, I’m bored of BS

There's a certain amount of hatred and jealousy that develops amongst pub men for young, good looking footballers

Maddison needs to shut up with these comments, comes across as a happy clapper and came on here, one of the morons who keep voting Rodgers in on the poll, We shouldn't be where we are in the league and looking up to Brentford, Maybe this casualness from the squad inbred by Rodgers is part of the reason we are where we are.Celebrating below mediocrity. Who's he trying to kid? cmon son.

He's right though, it's all about context. In the context of our position, nobody can deny it's a "good point" away from home against a side currently challenging for top 6. Of course most of our moronic fans on social media forget any form of context. 

 

He's at a point where he cannot win. Stays silent and it's "players ain't tweeting or ShOwInG aNy FiGhT" by being silent. And when they do interact and show any form of conversation on socials it's "Stick to football". 

 

Frankly, I think comments like yours need shutting up.

Ok happy clapper. You’ve just revealed yourself to have voted Rodgers in. 
Now if you can just show me over the last 18 months how happy clapping has helped the team that would be swell, cause that’s what’s been happening, Rodgers and HIS team getting away with murder, can you imagine if Puel was still in charge of this outfit? The outrage and uproar? Well most of the time it seems like he is still in charge,

Thought he was well below par on the weekend, lost a hell of a lot of balls played to him , really the only good thing he did was pass to Barnes for the goal . He seemed like he was more interested in getting himself fouled and arguing with the ref, think he knows that we are maybe going down

Correct, it’s all the little man babies again, who have to get upset at every little thing because they can’t control their emotions about a perfectly valid comment.

  I'd have massive respect for Madders if he wasn't just parroting his boss. Would love him to come out and actually say this season hasn't been good enough and we're looking to put it right.

All we're hearing is weird smugness about picking up 1 point from a possible 15 and how the fans and journo's haven't got a clue about football and are misguided in their thinking.

He’s said it numerous times throughout the season. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11318493/James-Maddison-admits-EMBARASSED-Leicester-bottom-Premier-League.html

It’s happening in every thread. There are of course some extreme views that are described in your post, similarly some there ones on the other side of the fence that are also quite extreme.

 

It’s just getting tiresome and sad how divided the fan base has become. It stems from the likes of Top and Rodgers causing the divide but we really just need to clear house and get someone in, manager wise, who can at least bring the majority together (nobody will ever have that from 100% of the fans).

 

Its why personally I’m quite a peace with the idea of relegation. Rodgers will hopefully go, his staff will go, some higher ups heads should role, it’ll be a more of less fresh start on the playing staff and we may lose a decent chunk of deadwood from the stands. I do think we have gone too far down the road to have a proper fresh start in this league unfortunately…

Enlighten me? Only a week ago he reacted to the mere accusation we are a mess and in trouble from a journalist.

 

A week later he's arguing with a fan and using the fact we're struggling near the bottom. 

Just did not see it as arguing, previously he was trying to be positive, now he is recognising in public, finally, we are in a fight. 
 

Still see the positivity requirement as the captain from the previous comment, but don’t’ find the two at odds is all, but we all see what we see.

He had a bad game yes- kept losing the ball and sometimes in dangerous places on the pitch but…. the pass he played into Barnes doesn’t get enough credit. Perfectly weighted and probably only Tielemans could play a pass like that as well in our entire squad. No one else could. We have to pray Maddison stays fit for the rest of the season because he’s our only hope.

Not arguing with you - the time for happy clapping may well have been earlier on, when BR was publicly calling the team and individuals crap.

 

Seems a bit late now, the results have been too bad for too long.

 

Back before Christmas I think we could have done with either some Pearson-style siege mentality media fighting, or a clear 'i believe in these players and this squad and we will fight like dogs' comments. He holed them below the waterline with some pretty savage criticism.

He has plenty of media opportunities to say what he has to say so I don’t understand why he’s going off at journos and fans individually. Reeks of not being able to handle the pressure. 
 

If there was directed abuse then fair enough but the comments he’s gone after are quite tame.

Ahh yes, I forgot that using brain power to understand our current predicament and voicing that automatically means I am Rodgers in 

 

Maybe you can show me where berating all our players no matter what they say has helped the team also? Nothing has. I'm there every week, I hear the chants, the toxicity in the stadium. Whilst I feel it right for fans to voice their opinion, not applying any ounce of brain power before using it to berate our best player this season on Instagram really shows a lack of intelligence from morons on socials. 

 

If you were at work, performing below your best and being berated by your customers every time you clocked in, would you improve?

Laughable that you think he’s berated for his performance, he’s being berated for his stupid post game comments, that fans don’t want to see cause they know what’s going on. No one has berated them more than Rodgers anyway, In a underhand fashion too might I add, but you keep blaming the fans, ill

His performances this season would say otherwise. 

 

Think it's more just being pissed off at all the negativity that's constantly being thown at the players and management. He's probably just had enough of it.

Perhaps he doesn’t like people claiming he said something he didn’t, in terms of being “happy” about the result. Do that and I’d be pissed off also.
