Trust the process. Now to sit back and soak up pressure Russball style.

2 games unbeaten and a classic Russball performance. The Foxes forum is abuzz with what this season has in store.

All sounds very familiar, especially the no sense of urgency 🤣🤣

Actually they weren't brave enough according to Martin's post match.

You might get a sense of deja vu

This year's word is "humility"

[Turkish]

You for to remember the scar tissue from the last two seasons. I was so proud of the boys for their efforts they’ve trained like beasts and I could feel the anxiety with learning to play how we want to play. I felt so much love for them out there, we’re making huge progress I was proud of that performance today we gave so much

Ha ha big Russ is back with his usual drivel. £200m for Leicester already looking like £5.50 and a bag of chips.

Ah yes, the Russel Martin interview playbook...

✅ Excuse - Lots of new players playing first game for the club

✅ Excuse - Blame scar tissue (haven't won't much in the past 2 years... despite most of the squad being new players 😅🙄).

✅ Players not doing his football right / #NotBrave.

✅ Bemoan the game being to open / "transitional" (I.e., not boring enough)

✅ Made sure to mention that he is "proud".

✅ Say "learn" more times than any rational person can keep count of.

Oh how he's been missed in England.

“We were nowhere near good enough with the ball”

Maybe because you’re asking third division centre halves to spray passes like prime Beckenbauer and they obviously aren’t good enough to do it you absolute buffoon

They need to be braver it’s not that they’re not good enough. They’ve got anxiety they need to trust the process

Liam Cullen is the new Joe Rothwell. Discuss

I think it’s fair to say they haven’t exactly taken to Macca either. So weird for Martin to sign him and make him first choice when he knows so well that he has literally none of the attributes that he needs for his system.

So much to like and so much to learn from if they show some humility

Not sure spraying passes was part of the Martin game. More sideways 10 yards between two CB’s and GK. And again.And again..
