    Poor result that. Way too timid in that 2nd half against poor opposition...

    Well that was ****ing abysmal.

    Nothing’s changed, tactics are predictable, our XI hasn’t improved and we still don’t know how to defend.

    We saw someone who should now be above him in the pecking order.

    We've picked up from where we left off.

    Not enough improvements made to a team already well short in certain departments.

    1-1 FT. Two points absolutely thrown away.
    I posted about Maddison's position on the left giving us lots of joy, so what happens at half-time? He's moved inside. <doh>
    Dreadful tactical decision and it completely cost us the win, especially as the subs took so long. Awful, pathetic 2nd half.

    I do think this is harsh. We were so dominant until they scored. We need to be so much better mentally to be able to react to that. That’s what the top teams do

    100% agree with that. He will be some talent for the future...

    Leicester are dreadful. They could well be relegated by Easter. And we make them look like fecking Barcelona at times in that 2nd half!

    I thought until the goal Maddison was excellent. The whole team went completely into their shell when that happened, like they couldn’t believe it. Then it could have gone either way. And Leicester had by far the best chance to win it to be fair

    Not starting Deki in the middle certainly felt like an error, too

    Agreed, he went missing in the 2nd half. Again.

    Still no backbone, dominated the first hour, but as soon as they scored we were finished, not good enough in so many ways.

    Partly.

    The top teams also bury their chances and kill off any chance of a comeback well before full time.

    We are living in an era where we seem to be able to expect no more than one goal for every ten good chances created.

    Better teams than Leicester will take full advantage of that.

    Son is declining, the right flank remains unconvincing and Solanke is a slight upgrade on Richarlison. We've barely improved up top at all.

    We dominated the ball but fluffed everything then got predictable.

    Nothing has changed from last season. A championship side could’ve easily ended up winning that today, Vicario made two big saves, their keeper didn’t have to make any as far as I can remember.

    Very poor second half before the changes, and not clinical enough in the first half when we were dominant and looked pretty good. That defending though for the Vardy goal. Just a total breakdown of communication between Romero and Porro.

    Biggest concern besides the second half no-show was that Son had a fairly anonymous game. Bergvall and Gray looked bright when they came on and Kulu got into some dangerous positions.

    Hope Bentancur and Porro are ok after what happened to them. Hopefully that’s just a bit of bedding in and we kick into gear, like last season when we drew our first game.

    Yeah agree to a point but this was after they scored. We had so many chances. Solanke looked nervous on his debut which is understandable.
    Any top team would take back control of the game and not let it completely change the whole game

    Solanke with a 2/10 debut as well.

    The two young lads done better in their cameos.

    Sorry but they should all hang their heads in shame for that second half.

    Son should have been off earlier.
    Johnson shouldn't have come out from the second half.
    Werner shouldn't have come on.

    But most of all there is no excuse for caving in after 55 mins. We were arrogant in the worst way possible after ht.

    Very unimpressed with the team and ange tbh
