That’s a fair assessment Foxello. What pains me about all of this is that we’ve given him the excuses on a plate and it would be far more preferable to fail on his own terms but there you go, it is what it is. I still maintain that whoever comes here has a number of problems on there hands particularly from a personnel perspective

While this isn’t a bottom 3 side I don’t think it’s that far off. Much depends on Faes but if he doesn’t work out we have one decent central defender who is 34. Next to Barnes we don’t have any decent wide players. That’s a real problem for any manager to have to contend with because you have to focus everything through the middle of the park - the lack of quality out wide was a massive issue last night. Any manager coming in here would rightly dismayed at the lack of quality out wide, the failure to secure a decent wide player in the last 2 years is criminal

We also have a striker who will be 36 in January and whether the fans want to admit it or not, his powers are waning. We at least have options at front which Rodgers doesn’t want to consider

I really hope we can get rid of him before it’s too late, I really hope this job still appeals to decent managers but I’m afraid the financial messages being sent out by the club aren’t exactly enticing. We could end up with Scott Parker!!!

Please no! 😕

Might it be worth trying Daka out wide on the right? Rather than giving him 45 seconds in a match to make an impact- which can't be helping his confidence much.

That’s a good shout. My only concern with that was the way we took a promising striker, Musa, and ruined his confidence by playing hmm him out on the left because Ranieri couldn’t figure out what to do with him. Daka is an excellent player who is going the same way for me, wasted at Leicester currently and has shown how lethal he can be given the service. I’d be up for giving him minutes out wide to see how he does though

No, no, no. I don’t want Scott Parker here, and many others will feel the same way. I refer to Darren Eadie again, and how his career was finished.

I see Oliver Brown from the Telegraph gets it !
