Think that’s three times in about 3 days he’s leapt to his defence against fan pressure

Has anyone worked out why?
It's quite funny how little objectivity he has. |  |

I think his header image on his Twitter profile gives a bit of a clue. |  | | |

They've really lost their shooting boots haven't they. Long may it continue. |  |

Other teams seem to have one player who persistently handballs in the box and never gets penalised. They're so blatant, he even wears gloves! Dodgy refereeing ... |  |

Oh he's changed it... but previously it was advertising 'An evening with Enzo' that he was hosting.
Also, spotted this on my feed last night....

Interesting, I had seen that account and thought it was a bit odd in being so Leicester-focused but never looked at that closely. |  |

If it is a Leicester analyst it does go some way to illustrate the divide between the players and the staff |  |

Watching that video, it looks like they are getting into good positions and have good patterns of play. The manager might need a good number two because he seems to lack a bit of steel.
I think it's fair to say that the Leicester job is a tough one. The team spirit was pathetic last season. They looked like they got out of relegation trouble in the middle of the season, then just seemed to resign themselves to relegation. There has been a lot of change, but not enough to weed out the mentally weak and fairweather players. I think we can make a fair comparison to our worst run of form when we didn't have Hirst. Our team kept on getting draws, so we were showing fight, but we weren't reaching our earlier heights. We were still very much behind the team and the manager even though most pundits were predicting a collapse. We all knew that if we could just make it to the January window, KM would bring in some reinforcements and we could come back stronger. Leicester look mentally shot, and the fans aren't really behind the team. It wouldn't surprise me at all if Leicester didn't get another win in their last 4 matches. It also wouldn't surprise me if they limped over the line and still clinched promotion. |  | | |

As you imply, they are still a very good team and those wayward shots (not THAT wayward) will percentage wise start going in. They have enough games to turn it around. However, another thing that's been mentioned is that home advantage may turn out to be a disadvantage if one doesn't go in, and sharpish. Here's hoping! | |

A West Brom team setting out to spoil and defend seem ideal next opponents. | |

First of all, who cares?
Secondly, we know better than any other club how it feels to be told by a third party that you're wrong, ungrateful and unsupportive. Hopefully this just creates more hostility. |  |

A new manager looking for solutions posted on 12th April? Maresca's been in charge since the summer. In Watford terms he should be drawing his pension about now. | |

How refreshing to have all these twists and turns that are important to Towen two seasons in a row. Whatever happens it's been a hell of a larf supporting us last coupla years. | |

I cared and thought a few others might do given they are rivals for promotion ;)
It's also interesting to see a national/international journalist defending them so vigorously based on what appears nothing more than friendship with a manager.
Imagine how spoilt you must be, if you are losing your sh*t as a fan when you are 1 point off top with a game in hand. | | | |

They seem to never show up when we need them to though it feels like. | | | |
