if one (Die Hard LD fans) are able to take constructive criticism then should not be in a forum where opinions are shared. You can use whichever button you want (ignore etc) but the fact of the matter is lets learn to debate in a diplomatic manner rather than indulging in cheap theatrics

It's hard to say where this came from; as it's been pointed out, his recent victory of CL and LD comes after a long run of defeats to the two players.
I think Gill and Stein made some very good commentary on LCWs play style, he often put himself into very difficult situations just by being flashy and unnecessary. He lost quite a few points to that, making the game between him and LD especially close.
He's clearly a very powerful, fast, and skillful athlete, but in my opinion he needs to simplify his game, stop being so flashy and unnecessary, and keep a focused playstyle. With age he can't afford to keep burning himself up like that on court.

I think LD stopped being flashy after Thomas Cup 2010, probably at the suggestion of Tang XH. Maybe LCW can ask Tang XH for advice.
Grow up kiddo, you world only revolves like a kiddy having ice-cream in one hand, popcorn on the other, watching ultraman and waiting for scooby doo to come on next. YOu will be out of here when LD retires and you have no one to use as a scapegoat to abuse other fan's players. Put your pillow a bit higher when you sleep tonight. what will you do next? Use Chen Long to abuse Viktor?

Yeah, a few hold and flick shots, and many cross court net shots got him nowhere and often in worse situation. Against lower ranked players he can do these, but not against LD and CL.
However his new style is more patient. And he's become very tight and accurate in his drops and smashes, winning many points there. And most improved is his net play.
Hopefully he hasn't peaked yet and still has room for improvement, because CL and LD are only going to get better leading up to Rio.

It's not just that he's playing the crosscourt, he takes it almost at the floor. Usually his racket is touching the floor. He simply leaves the shot too late. With his speed he really has no reason to do this.

That's what deception is all about, waiting and delaying your shot. It's just that it's not working against LD and CL most of the times.

Just let LCW play how he likes, he's winning vs LD, CL, JOJ, and likes of them at 33 - how many players
can do that?
The reason he is winning is because he is truly enjoying himself especially with his fitness at almost
peak status and those fancy deceptions are part of his enjoyment of his game, it reflects his
confidence and a more relax approach to his game, instead of going straight for the kill...
For once he is winning because he is not afraid to lose. With his inherent speed, court coverage and
masterful stroke making, add to a more relax approach, his shot accuracy is enhanced that even
a giigantic 6'2'' CL end up scurrying all over the court so if LCW wants to do trick shots, let him...

Cant agree more.
There was no excessive celebration like he did in All England 2014. After the big win, he only had a cheeky smile of self satisfaction and enjoyment. Shook hands with CL and acknowledged his supporters.
That's right, you are not the first to have commented this, it's been said many .... moons ago. LCW would have gotten used to it by now, I reckon.
Agree. He doesn't seem to handle pressure as good as LD, seems like that's why LD won many times with very small margin even when LCW was leading. Same thing when other players are catching up even when LCW si leading. So if LCW can relax, he may turn the table around.
Being devoted is not the problem here. They probably have a deep sense of insecurity about themselves when they look in the mirror. Remember these great china players never ask to be used as an 'abuse' stepping stone to derogate other fan's players. If they knew this, they would surely ask you to tone down. After all, winning is not everything, 'when you don't have humility'. Think about the greatest player in the world with no one to play with. It's self evident that these 'lunatic' fans makes no constructive criticism whatsoever, they bash other fan's players, but when you say one thing about their own player they go crazy and short circuit all over. Now doesn't sound this like borderline lunatic?
Also to be fair to all, I think the post about CL going home without a shirt joke is.. too slapstick comedy for me. See, we are a bunch of nice guys with sound mind.

Tey Seu Bock once with Misbun as coaches, of course LCW will listen advises from one of them...
Would you go into a cubicle like that with 8,000 people watching you??
Yes if you are wet till it interferes with the possibility of clinching your US50K+ cheque.
Besides they are not going to give you a glass cubicle right? Let the fans think whatever they want. It might even increased the player's fan base exponentially. ooh...
