    Looks like we are pinning our hopes on beating Bournemouth and Swansea

    We deserve to go down in fairness. The other teams around us have fought and fought and won the right to stay up. Fair play to them

    So much dithering on the ball is bad for my blood pressure

    0-0. Very Puel-esque.

    I'm sure Swansea, Palace, Huddersfield et al are quaking in their boots.

    Anyone else think leicester looked like the side battling for 3 points to survive and we were the team that were safe and looking forward to the end of the season?

    Weird how some of the players are so bullish in their interviews about how we need an attitude change, more ruthless, more attacking, more determined etc.

    And then we're just not.

    Any other time i would look at that as a scrappy hard earned point.

    Only caught the second half but that was certainly a point gained rather than two dropped. Just need to find a few wins from our remaining four fixtures.....

    I'm not going to criticise Hughes for the negative approach, because Leicester really were much more threatening than us. If we had tried to go for it a bit more, I could easily have seen another 3-0 away defeat for us. I think we've been somewhat fortunate to get that point.

    I'm not saying I agree with the subs, but the general approach I can understand.

    What I will say though is, shock horror, we can't take our performances against top six sides into matches against the rest. It really hasn't changed at all.

    They are safe,2/3 will be off and will find a club in the PL or similar again.

    Was that Puel telling Tadic “when Mahrez goes the job is yours”.
    A point is still better than no points.
    I can understand why we didn’t go for it because Vardy was so close to getting through a couple of times in the second half even when we were trying to keep it tight.
    Would have kept Long on or at least replaced him with pace
