I made them comments and I still stand by them - first half he was everything you suggested. Second half he disappeared. I'm not saying he isn't a decent player, but he needs to be involved for 90 minutes - if he can only manage 45 minutes of pure intensity, then he's destined for the bench. I will say he did more in 45 minutes than Oscar usually does in 90. Hopefully over the summer he will work on his fitness - he definitely has the ability to glide past players and can pick a pass, two great attributes.

Hopefully people will lay of Guus now, plenty of youngsters had game time RLC looked great in the first half,Pedro did well and Pato looked decent Shouldn't underestimate how rubbish Villa were, would have been nice to get 6 or 7 First clean sheet in 10, despite the best efforts of Tibo

My God we are so shit at football - slow and boring RLC has dissappeared this half Now where's that desire and commitment I expected

Kenedy off Oscar on

OK will have to revise my 5-0 prediction as Oscar is now warming up We could now lose 3-2 ??? Impressed with RLC and Pato. Not sure Pato is long term but the lad is trying and ain't afraid to stick away a penalty Cannot believe Fabregas was booked for somebody kicking him...

Still bashing Guus ??? Reality is, we have an average squad, with an average manager - but that hasn't stopped Leicester ??? i think we will win big today - I'm going for Villa 0 - 5 Chelsea

Hahaha I said 'professional' footballers ??? Those two would be a nightmare Alan Brazil is my favourite Talk Sport presenter

Lol - just know what they are like. It's so sad that our FA is not run by ex professional players, imagine how good our football system could be.

Hahaha they are so predictable

Mirror, Mirror on the wall, will Conte be Chelsea after all?

That is an amazing location and perfect for any football team! They were there 2 seasons ago IIRC?

Agree with everything except Raneiri - I have always liked him as a manager and thought it was unfair how he was dropped here. He had Eidur and Jimmy playing some great football. He's just never been given a chance at top clubs - but he's always been a nice bloke and football is his life, I love his crazy speeches and you can see how much winning means to him. I really hope he wins it - he and Leicester deserve it IMHO.

Anybody got anything positive to say? ????

Dude - I like RLC but he must have a fundamental flaw to be continually left on the bench. Fine - you call it adjustment, I call it lack of work rate (lazy) As for Leicester - you can only beat what's in front of you and for a whole team that cost £22 million they have done an exceptional job, I'm sorry but you cannot degrade their achievement this season. It wasn't knee jerk - it was more tongue in cheek and/or pisstake - sorry if it upset ya if Hazard is lazy in training, then one day he will realise the unfulfilled potential of his career and be sad about it... But if Hazard is lazy and off form, and potentially injured and still plays over RLC what does that say? I also notice that RLC is a similar build to Traore - yet he doesn't appear to suffer from adjustment problems - not having a go at you - just saying what I see - I will be more than happy to be proven wrong - would love 4-5 Acadamy players to break-through it would be amazing, especially if we also delivered silverware!

I don't see any lazy players in the Leicester team - that's why they are top of the table. Playing a lazy player sets a shitty standard for the rest of the team. I'm glad you aren't in charge of making these decisions ???

Exactly - I can't be arsed with this forum anymore so many fucking haters and negativity on EVERYTHING it is ridiculous - West Ham are an in-form team and flying high, there is no God given right to beat them, playing RLC wouldn't have altered that in my opinion. I can't wait to see the meltdown if a new manager comes in and doesn't pick the youngsters. The thing is the manager sees these players every single day in training - he is clearly seeing something we are not, so whatever it is, the youngsters need to sort it out.

Exactly that - why would fans react badly? It's not just fans it's the clubs hierarchy. Guus has a pretty good legacy as a manager, that's the problem with experienced managers, they are unlikely to gamble big as too much to lose, whereas younger unproven managers can gamble. I guess we will see over the remaining games if younger players get a chance

I think you will see younger players get a chance now - absolutely nothing to play for, it would have been stupid for Guus to try out unproven players as if we had lost even more games, he would have been slaughtered for it. If you don't understand that, then I can only surmise that you haven't been in a position of leadership. To pick the so called best players and lose = little egg on face, there's no room for criticism. To play the youth over 'experienced' players and fail = massive egg on face as every 2 bit hack and Internet warrior would have claimed CL place would have been possible with 'experienced' players. Therefore, in my eyes Guus is blameless in this scenario. You watched Chelsea vs City right? I'm just checking because City did what you suggested and it was a shower of shite performance, I didn't see one potential star in their youth players... We humiliated them. So the fallacy that youth = great players, who will win - is pretty much just that, a fallacy... There is also the sad reality that the youth just might not be good enough The step-up is huge - this is why we need the B Team system in England/Wales - will definitely give youngsters a more accurate platform in which to develop their skills I can see you're angry about the season and the team in General but moaning about Guus is a step too far in my humble opinion. He's fine a decent job here and knows it's temporary, he has conducted himself on/off the pitch with the utmost professionalism and has helped the team gain some semblance of attacking play. If Conte is coming, I expect done big signings and a night/day change to our performances next season....

Massively overrated player - good but not the best

Great - hiring a banned coach ??? next we will sign Sharapova ???

Exactly!

Chill dude - 1 bad season since mid 90's!!! happens to everyone - look at United, look at Liverpool, Arsenal etc. No point in chucking the towel in, think of the team like an 'engine' - just one knackered component can bring the whole thing to a shuddering halt. Fix the broken part(s) and the engine is back up and running again. (Broken parts = defence and midfield imho)

Don't forget the dodgy accent ????

1, 2, 5, I mean 3 - he's a witch! Burn him, burn him!!!! Eden isn't a superstar, he's just a very naughty boy! Peoples front of Hazard? Fuck off! Hazard front of people!!!! Man this thread is gold ??? So much 'humble pie' to be eaten it could feed all of the Syrian refugees for years

He's still no Chuck Norris!!!
