Agree. I heard him say he was proud of the players. If he's saying that after a 4-1 home defeat that could have been worse and which followed a 5-0 thrashing that could also have been worse then he's sending out completely the wrong message. We need some honesty and home truths not some sort of propaganda statement.

The problem with RM insisting on this playing out from the back is that opponents are very aware of this. From the first minute today Leicester pressed us hard and their reward was two early goals as we played right into their hands - other teams will do the same. This will erode any confidence of the players and lead to even more mistakes. There is no way you can learn this system on the job because of all the goals you'll give away - it is self perpetuating. RM must abandon it because if he doesn't he's going to be sacked before too long.

We made it very easy for him to be fair.

RM sugar-coating it on Sky. He needs to stop kidding himself and get his head out of the sand.

Exactly. RM seems to insist that we play like Man City. It's never going to happen. Get the basics right and stop trying to be so frigging clever.

Did you miss us trying to play out from the back and giving them a 2 goal lead?

I buckled up and it didn't turn out well tonight. Decent bloke but not sure he's going to cut the mustard.

Embarrassing from 25 seconds onwards.

You couldn't make this up. Red for Sully.

Should have been 6 or 7.

This is it. We are a team of mainly weaklings. Where are our power houses?

Where do we go from here? Anyone got any ideas? It's frighteningly bad.

Don't be silly, they are away from home and have been all over us.

They can't sack him. They'd be paying 3 ex managers and looking for a new one.

Another goal from our corner. When will Martin learn he can't leave us so exposed. Ok Sully gave it away but that's poor tactics by the manager.

Two players just let Vardie run free.

We don't have a possession game. Our passing is awful.

We couldn't have had 5. Don't be ridiculous.

I don't give a shit anymore. We are so bad it's not worth bothering to get angry. RM has much to learn. We have no shape and just look a shambles.

We look horribly wide open and so easy to play through.

Could be about 2-5.

Baz has made some good stops today.

Should be level there - HB misses his header.

Powderpuff in midfield.

If he doesn't and it doesn't improve he'll get sacked.
