    Bamford looked absolutely knackered.

    Also, how long can Adams and Roca keep running around at 100 mph?

    They have to, as we can't keep hold of the ball.

    We had no game plan whatsoever and that’s down to the manager and his team selection utter rubbish
    Who on earth thought Ted Lasso was a good replacement for Marcelo
    That game was an utter disgrace

    Quite simple.

    Play like you did against Arsenal, you stay up!

    Keep playing like you did tonight and you go down.

    If we played so well against Arsenal why so many changes and Llorente, WHY?

    The high press doesn’t work we lack quality up front.

    It’s a good job Leicester we’re poor as they cut through us with ease too many times.

    I did say Jesse won’t be here come the WC break and I see no reason for that to change.

    Our shape was poor, we looked disjointed, we looked like light weight boys against men tonight.

    Bamford is still the worst striker in the PL we made excuses for him under Bielsa because he “did the other stuff” now he does nothing but get in the way

    Do you think Marcelo would come back to over-train Jesse?

    The most annoying bit about all of it is that Leicester beat us with a makeshift side. I think we do have the players but the system JM is trying to play just isn’t working, whatever it is.
    We don’t have injured players to come back so this is as good as it’s going to get which is a worry. When you lose to the reserve side of a team in the relegation zone it’s past the time to be worried.
    We played well at the weekend and lost.
    We played worse today and lost.
    In my opinion the biggest mistake JM made today was dropping Cooper.

    Spot on mate:emoticon-0148-yes:
    Lose on Sunday and the crowd will turn on Jesse, then it's curtains
    Like TC said, play like that and we go down

    Having the pair of them is part of the problem, 4 defenders, 2 defensive midfielders, no flair in the middle for that defence splitting pass. They’re both good players but we lack quality up front and they run out of ideas in the middle.

    Olof we are going down. It’s chaos at the club. A board out of their depth and have always been really, a coach out of his depth and a squad who would struggle to win a game in the championship.

    I beg to differ the biggest mistake was JM who hasn’t got a clue and the guy who brought him in and all this talk from Radz that he knows nothing about football would someone tell him that we believe him he doesn’t have to continue proving it

    Just watching that second goal again. Great from their perspective. Llorente didn’t even try to stop the cross, he has to block that. Kristenson gets drawn to the ball and forgets about barnes… when there’s plenty of players there to deal with it. Schoolboy stuff.

    He had a few good moments. If we could keep the ball long enough to find some space he might actually be able to do more.

    You’ve got to wonder what he’s thinking. I’m a full Italian international player with maybe not the strongest side but still the current European champions, but I can’t get on for few minutes for a team when none of the forwards can hit the target <doh>
    What do we lose by giving him a go and having a look instead of the same predictable substitutions. I think even the fans would be more sympathetic if we tried it and it didn’t work out.

    Have to admit I never heard a drum, would've preferred it as opposed to listening to Shearer commentate
