    Wasalewski and Slimani however...What a pair of donkeys. As soon as I saw Wasa was in the side I had that feeling of dread. I don't think I saw an orthodox challenge all day. His body positioning is all wrong and some times his positioning is just dreadful. In a way if Ranieri has any fault this season it is in not getting better defensive cover. Slimani, the less said the better.

    Wasyl is past it I'm afraid - we need cover ASAP.

    As for Slimani - he wasn't up to the task which we set him to do which is no surprise tbh - should have had him supporting Ulloa imo.

    Jan transfer window will be fun - can see us breaking our transfer record again as teams will wring us out.

    The last three purchases - Mendy, Musa and Slimani - don't appear to have strengthened the squad. Not a good return on an outlay of about £50 million. Claudio seems to no longer have any idea of what his strongest team is at the moment. It is all rather confused. A player comes in for one game and then he's out again. A strange decision against Everton to bring on Ulloa and then take Gray off. Ndidi must be looking at the league table and having second thoughts.

    I really would look at the formation now...

    Kasper

    Albrighton Morgan Huth Fuchs Schlupp

    Drinkwater Amartey
    Mahrez

    Slimani Okazaki

    As much a many may disagree, I don't want Leo to leave, he could do with a run in the side as he (and Okazaki) change us for the better when they play

    Surely no Leicester fans are thinking about getting rid of your manager.
    Would be a really ****, souless thing to sack him in my opinion.

    To be clear, I'm not calling for him to be sacked at all but if things don't improve it will be a neccessity. We're in a no win situation as if we keep him and end up being relegated we will be a laughing stock but if we were to sack him a minute before the end of the season, those same people will be slating us for the same reason as you state above (I appreciate you are no slating us). Personally if it continues to get worse, I'd take people saying the latter if it benefits the club as no doubt everyone else would agree if it was their club. At the end of the day, it's about the here and now not history

    We need to get some midfielders in sharpish.

    At least one that knows how to pass it to the strikers would be handy.

    Our biggest problem this season has been committing defensive suicide ... how many goals against have stemmed from 'sloppy' defending or careless midfield play ...

    We are pretty good as an attacking force but are too often chasing the game from a losing position ...

    Leo deserves a start .. but neither Leo or Slimani are getting the service that both would thrive on ... and that might require a change of formation...

    Claudio has very limited midfield options currently, mendy, James and Drinky all injury impacted and that should be addressed ... Mendy neds time - he was just starting to show what he could do when he picked up a serious injury. Andy King is a great squad player but is not up to the standard required to start.

    Musa needs time too ... we are very quick to judge.

    We are not a million miles away as we showed against Man City ... we just need to hold our nerve and, more importantly, cut out the silly mistakes.that have, ultimately, cost us games.

    Don't think we will see Schlupp in a Leicester Shirt again!
    Claudio seemed pity peed off with his last performance for the side.
