Reality check - our worst games are always against teams with packed defences who hit us on the counter.

Basically our front 3 can't break down teams that sit deep. We need an upgrade on Harrison, Bamford and Costa. Said that at the start of the season.

1 - 4 not reflective of the match, we were a couple of inches on a Pablo strike away from 2 -2 and Paddy has been woeful. Don’t get me wrong we’ve not been good but it’s been closer than the score suggests.

Well all I can say is we should get a boat load of pens real soon, if as they say things even themselves out, absolute joke, but makes little difference to the out come, we were undone by sloppy defending AGAIN!

Oh well, these things happen in the Premier League.

We were much better in the second half than the first, but they were the better team overall.

Quality players, who play good football and look dangerous in attack.

Put it behind us, and on to the next game.

Well we've got Raphinha and Rodrigo but both unavailable tonight

Need a backup to Bamford.

Poveda is too lightweight for me.

We played s**t tonight our worst performance this season.

Leicester deserve this despite our chances.

We still have no idea how to break down and handle teams who counter.

Koch and Cooper have been pathetic, Vardy has made them look like mugs.

Ayling is a disgrace, a weak disgrace, diving id drop him for it especially when he could easily have kept going and made a chance.

Costa, Harrison, Roberts, nothing, Pablo okish but this is why we signed Rodders and Raphinha.

We have gifted Leicester this with sloppy defending and a lack of control in midfield.

A backup dm was vital imo, having to play Kiich there makes us so much weaker.

Not worth getting to upset but its a lesson, you have to take chances and better players will beat a good system.

Poor defensively, to open in midfield, creativity lackinf and when you make chances you have to take them.

Cooper and Ayling will never be Premier league quality defenders, the system suits them but as individuals they lack.

I am so angry with Ayling, the Ayling flop is pathetic and happens because he lacks positional sense

Diving twat. Fuming

But you’re watching the game with no idea what’s happening, even worse when you’re in the ground (if we ever get back) - easily time for a goal the other end with the length of time to get a decision from VAR that the ref needs to look at it.....takes way too long.
