Hold on. So madders wants to be clapped off after a 1-0 home defeat against Bournemouth. 
 

No wonder we collapsed twice 

He probably see's Vardy going off to a round of applause and thinks he deserves the same ... couldn't lace his boots (based on their respective times at the club, credit in the bank goes a long way)

It’s another big reason for our plight. There’s no fight in any of them 

Coached the fight out of them, allowed half of them to vanish this summer, bought gash and gave them shedloads - the reasons why Rodgers fvcked up our squad goes on and on. 

 

And for some reason Madders appears to heart him.

Drop him, he is the only chance we have, play him WITH nacho, daka ad Barnes and we have a chance

He can’t get out of here quick enough.

How do you know he cares exactly, like what exactly have you seen recently to say this with such confidence, because its not the performances and its not the attitude 

I don’t know exactly, I said it looks like he one of the few who cares. What I do know, and surely you do too, is that performance wise he is streets ahead of any other player in this squad. 

[Chelmofox]

Played and acted like a spoilt brat today. Really disappointed.

Exactly. Gutless the lot of them. And I don’t doubt that the cowardly Rodgers was the root cause.

 

I really hope the new manager bans all those effete hugs and cuddles the players routinely give each other before kick off every game.

 

If it is supposed to show camaraderie, it fails miserably. All it does is show the opposition how soft they are.

I’ve commented on this before, Rodgers’ interpretation of bringing “winners” into this group of players was … Daka (an Austrian league winner), Soumaré (Ligue 1 winner), Vestegaard & Bertrand (old & experienced). There isn’t one genuine leader or strong character between them! We have a squad full of fluffy bits, there isn’t a single leader in that and that’s going to show more and more through the remaining games. What a very sorry state of affairs the Club has allowed to develop here.

This is probably why Kasper went. He's a vocal member of the squad and maybe spoke up too much and was given the boot

Drop him?? Are you for real? Who is the only player who tries to go forward? The only player along with Tielemans with genuine quality and you want to drop him. 😳

Doesn’t mean anything if his heart isn’t in it as we saw today.

I tell you what, we have some proper melts as fans don't we. Some of shit I heard from people today. 

 

Maddison is one of the best players we've had at this club and it'll be a loooooong time until we get someone like him again. 

 

The entitlement from sections of our fan base is a joke 😂 

 

He's had some off games, show me one of our players that hasn't, no wonder he gave some back 

 

Having said that, we were poor, we are in trouble and there are certain players that shouldn't be anywhere near this team (Soumare) 

 

 

Me and my lad waited outside after the game for some autographs, Maddison wasn't hanging about, but saw a few and they clearly give a shit. Mike Stowell came over and when asked "you going to keep us up Mike?" He replied "yes, we've done it before and we were in a worse position then, we just need a bit of loving right now" 

 

Could see the frustration on all faces, I'm still confident we will get out of this 

 

Now calm yourselves and we go again

Don’t be wet. Of course people are frustrated right now with him, but Maddison will rightly go down as the best attacking midfielder we’ve ever had. Taking nothing away from Andy King but the idea Maddison isn’t worth a sentence is just petulant. Gonna be many years until we see another player of his quality sadly.

Muzzy not Madders.

His heart has been in it all season as you well know, like he rest of us he probably could not believe the team that the fitness coach and goalkeeper coach selected today, he can carry this team no more…

Maddison has put up unreal numbers in a team that is quite frankly crap. If there was any player that you cant criticise this season for not performing when everything goes to shit it's Maddison. 

 

Yes, his naivety about our relegation situation is annoying and his past 2 performances haven't been good but if we go down Maddison should shoulder very little of the blame imo, if the rest of the team matched his standard we would be in the top 6 spots.

Based on what? That dreadful, half-hearted performance? The fact we have picked up 8 points since Boxing Day? Picking up 0 points from 4 games against Bournemouth and Southampton? Or was it Stowell's parroted response?

 

It's precisely because we've had this "calm" attitude that the club is in this mess. Half the fans realised we were in the mud for months. They were criticised for not being "calm"; when in fact they could see us heading for relegation.

Nah. Izzet was a very good player for us at the time but Maddison at his peak is quite significantly better player than Izzet ever was and it’s only really nostalgia and current frustration (and Izzet played in a side of equally rotten bunch of no hopers in 01/02 too in a season in which Izzet himself was pretty spineless in all honesty) that would argue otherwise tbh. Maddison far better close control, finisher, has better balance/ability to get past players and no worse a passer really. Maddison also has more goals and assists despite playing significantly fewer games than Izzet.

Stinks of the ‘everything will be alright’ attitude that’s got us into this mess. And seriously, what’s with the ‘just need a bit of loving’ crap. They need to provide an awful lot more than that.  The crowd couldn’t have done more for them today. Stowell should have gone with Rodgers. 

 

And before referring to people as melts, reacquaint yourself with our standing in the table. Singing section gave it everything during the 90 minutes and the UnionFS team spent days putting together a display. Literally nothing else the crowd could have done, and everyone waited until the end before showing how dissatisfied we were. 

[foxile5]

They just need some loving?

 

They're ****ing professionals. They should be trying their hardest for that reason alone. They're handsomely paid too.

 

****s sake.

[foxile5]

They were cheered onto the pitch and greeted with a tifo paid for and arranged by people on a fraction of their weekly wage annually.

 

The cheering was kept up way into a sub par and unprofessional performance.

 

What more would they like? Fifty pounds from everyone? Sacrifice of the first born? What *****.

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

People around me reckon he had argument with someone in the crowd about 75 mins in?

I think a lot of us have seen Izzet over a longer period in what is a very nostalgic and successful period. More than Maddison's occasional peak. We remember Izzet screamers from 25 years ago but Maddison's mostly free kick screamers blend. 

 

We will all remember Izzet long in the future but it won't be the same for Maddison honestly. Youri has the FA Cup goal, Mahrez, Kante, Vardy and the rest of the league winners have their place, but Maddison will be leaving if we get relegated or not.

 

Maddison is significantly a better player than Izzet though, likewise a lot of out players even 19th are individually significantly better than past seasons but we've been expecting top 8 and higher the last 4 years.

I’m confident we can get out of this, if we start our creative attacking players and go for it, but the shower of shite Stowell put out today was doomed from the start. I wonder if madders bought into the selection, because if he didn’t, he should have spoken up.

Disagree that all Maddison’s screamers “blend” those goals vs ManCity and Watford will be remembered as classics. Izzet was certainly equally as streaky, as all attacking midfielders are, and also played in 2 relegated sides, one of which was somehow even worse and more spineless than this one. Izzet was never a consistent sustained player and his peaks were never as high as Maddison’s.

 

It’s just a nostalgia and age thing, but Maddison was clearly the better player. Of course Maddison will be remembered just as long and well as Izzet. Go back to 2002 and some older fans would’ve said the same when comparing Izzet to Dave Gibson.

 

In 2002 when we were relegated with an even lower points tally than this one and Izzet requested a transfer after putting in a pretty spineless season and I can well remember there were plenty of extremely ill feeling towards Izzet and plenty harsh and opinions about Izzet and his lack of fight at that time, worse than what Maddison is getting now. They just get forgotten in time.

 

Taking nothing away from Izzet but Maddison is and will be rightfully remembered as quite clearly a better Leicester player than Izzet. It’s only the current red mist that is arguing otherwise.
