Yeah possibly. I just can’t imagine someone being so thick skinned for so long and still believing that they’re right and everyone else is wrong. It’d take a such a staggering amount of delusion that I just can’t comprehend it.

He thinks his tactics are amazing but it's the fault of the players because they are unable to implement his vision properly. If he just had better, more technical players who could act on what he said then he's achieve success.

Vardy joins Burnley on a free until the end of the season. Intriguing to see if he still adds something coming off the bench at 39.

I’m not sure he does think he’s shit. He thinks he’s amazing but it’s always the fault of the players, fans of other factors. His interview at Rangers when they said he bad no evidence at all to back up there were improving his response was the issue isn’t tactics. They’re brilliant in training but scared on a match day, sums him up, arrogant prick

Really good sales helped by more sensible pricing, I decided to take the kids as more affordable Swansea have sold just over 700 apparently which is pretty good for them midweek

It’s shit really boring. my premier league team the season, Arsenal are on later so buzzing for that, Arsenal shirt arrived just in time 👍

Maybe he’s just using Leicester to help fund his exit from football. He’s shit, he knows he’s shit, he’ll get his 3 year contract or whatever it is paid up for 2 months work and be done with it. There’s surely no way back after this, he’s made himself more unemployable everywhere he’s been and Leicester are surely the last mugs to fall for his bullshit. If he wasn’t so arrogant people would maybe have a bit of sympathy, but the fact that he’s so arrogant means that supporters of his former clubs can enjoy his continuing failure* *Fabrice29 aside

Agreed it’s really annoying. By the time it got my phone out to film the singing it’s generally died out, very frustrating

Everton vs Man Utd seems fairly low on quality too. Feels like a distinctly damp start to the season for many teams.

Hmm...

Jesus wept.

They were raving about him in the last game. Hope we have a recall clause for January!

Jamie Vardy has joined Burnley...

Jay Robinson has just scored for Monza away at Parma. Only his second game for them I believe.

When did you see this quality you’re talking about? We lost to Watford who haven’t won since, edged past Stoke and were outplayed by Birmingham and Lincoln. We looked good against Millwall but they also got pumped at home by Wrexham in the next game. I think we’ve been incredibly average, the likes of Swansea and Boro look far far more convincing

Playing 5 at the back works against teams with no penetration who want to pass it around the box to move defenders and create opportunities (like city and arsenal last year) where we sat incredibly deep... But even then we rarely went back 5. Back 5 will simply not work against sides that have a physical presence and just want to lump it in the mixer... You literally surrender the rest of the pitch to them, give up all width across midfield, and invite them into crossing range... It was Argentina Vs England all over again - we just ceded them the pitch and let them come at us - but with a keeper and at least 1 cb that struggle with crosses. What he should have done, is strengthen further up the pitch, keep control of the middle, keep pace at the back, and push onto them... Then their more limited players have to pick exceptional passes, and their big forwards have to win a foot race... Sadly it was also shades of Watford all over again - i.e., letting them lump aerial balls onto manning and Stephens and watch the carnage unfold - a repeat mistake from Eckert, and something he needs to address. We cannot play the football sides like that want to play, and then allow them to target what is undoubtedly the weakest part of our game. We just get bullied and at least half the back line can't handle it / aren't good against it. Birmingham was also poor in the regard of allowing a physical side onto us thinking we could adequately defined it - we can't. Quarshie would have been ideal for these sorts of sides... Agree as well about Swansea. They won't play like this and it will come down to technical skill and flowing football. Not 11 players in the 18yard box most of the game, hitting it long, and bombarding our box with a near 7ft striker the target.

Great shout. Amazing film.

Not being reactionary but realistic. We have a game against Swansea (top of the league), Bristol (who for some reason always beat us) and Wrexham away (who are tricky and will be out for revenge after last season). We then have an international break of 3 weeks where TE is likely to hear his fate from the FA. So given that has Tonder got 3 games to save his job? I don’t necessarily agree with it but if we get only a couple of points from those 3 games I can see a different incumbent come October.

It has been for a while. A draw there isn't a bad result for anyone.

Quite. But we are early in the season and if we are having to bring our best players off after 60 mins every game with no thought of how the game is going then there's something wrong there.

That’s down to those recruiting, not the manager

Sorry to say it, and it won’t be popular, but I reckon Middlesbrough are up there this season. Appear to have made some good signings. But previous years they’ve started well and faltered. Can only hope.

It worked ok last season because we had better players like Charles and Stewart to bring off the bench, so wasn't as much of a problem. In fact even losing Archer is detrimental to us now looking at the depth of our squad. This season the drop off with the subs is huge.

O’Reilly, and Spertsyan over previous summers. Now Ratkov. Before that you could probably add Gakpo and was it Ramos the same year (2022)? Seems like Walter Mitty is part of our recruitment team.
