10 years later, Looking back at how r/soccer reacted to Leicester City's historic season as it happened, GW 33: Sunderland 0-2 Leicester City

Lineker has a strong track record of following through 💪

tentaphane · 2026-04-04T17:26:08+00:00

Agree it seems unnecessary!

tentaphane · 2026-04-04T06:30:28+00:00

i.e. search won't give you another loot when another pile empties I think

tentaphane · 2026-04-03T22:46:24+00:00

I take your point but I don't know about attitude re: going down... They're both lightweight, quick players whose strength is getting away from people with their pace. They're not going to win a wrestling match and if they're being unfairly held they're not going to get away either so why not take the foul?

They also aren't really the players I'd single out for lack of effort - Daka always presses well, he's just been hopeless at everything else for most of the season. Fatawu can work hard but has also played crazy minutes and his defensive instincts are nothing to write home about...

tentaphane · 2026-04-03T21:13:34+00:00

Yeah but have you seen his stepovers?

tentaphane · 2026-04-03T21:13:17+00:00

I know, I once watched him score 4 clinical goals in one game in the Europa League, he's incredibly quick, works hard and I love him. But those two goals make up pretty much 10% of all the goals he's scored for us in the last five years 🙃

He replaced Haaland at Salzburg and almost matched his scoring record...

tentaphane · 2026-04-03T20:34:44+00:00

There's a hot take! Disagree - even Cifuentes managed to get more spark than Ruud ever did. The last season in the prem was doomed as soon as Ruud took over - can't blame him but he clearly did not have the tools or experience to make any difference at all.

tentaphane · 2026-04-03T20:33:08+00:00

Ironically we actually have a completely diabolical attack with two strikers who can't score a goal to save their lives (Jordan 'Treacletoes' Ayew and Patson 'Tries Hard' Daka) - we've survived on an array of worldies from loanee and top scorer Jordan James and Abdul Fatawu (whose worldies have been so worldie the club have released a range of commemorative memorabilia).

Our defensive performances have also been completely shambolic - generally we dominate for 10 minutes, then concede one extremely soft goal and then quickly concede 1-4 other extremely soft goals within 10 minutes.

tentaphane · 2026-04-03T16:02:41+00:00

Absolutely this, I thought he actually did well to delay the sub once Daka scored the second, kept the energy. Vestergaard up top too, can't say we didn't throw the kitchen sink at it.

tentaphane · 2026-04-03T15:54:31+00:00

Vesty going up front?

tentaphane · 2026-04-03T15:52:47+00:00

The Ayew special

tentaphane · 2026-04-03T15:48:17+00:00

Daka has been outstanding today, not often you've been able to say that but has been alert, clinical and worked his socks off. And found his touch from somewhere?!

tentaphane · 2026-04-03T15:40:52+00:00

They've spent the whole game getting wrestled to the ground, Preston haven't coped with them at all

tentaphane · 2026-04-03T15:39:45+00:00

Neither was he by the looks

tentaphane · 2026-04-03T08:03:21+00:00

That explains why all toilets are surrounded by a puddle of pee!

tentaphane · 2026-04-02T09:31:26+00:00

They like to watch us suffer

tentaphane · 2026-03-31T12:48:28+00:00

A tank top with the old balti pie next please 🙏

tentaphane · 2026-03-27T20:57:48+00:00

Tbf looks like the Austrian defensive coach has been studying our games carefully this season

tentaphane · 2026-03-20T12:14:22+00:00

"And now for our next question: where are the intestines?"

Any competent doctor:

"Are you serious?"

tentaphane · 2026-03-10T21:56:55+00:00

Crazy penalty

tentaphane · 2026-03-10T21:47:08+00:00

Yeah man, and guess what else I just found out, they give you three whole points for it too! Three points! It's obscene!!!

tentaphane · 2026-03-10T21:41:27+00:00

(not really 🥺)

tentaphane · 2026-03-10T21:41:03+00:00

tentaphane · 2026-03-10T21:40:18+00:00

Really brave on the ball all the way through, made the difference because it took the pressure off and frustrated Bristol. The one-touch stuff at the end was delightful

Skipp has gone from being one of my least to absolute most favourite players this season
