Well. Leicester certainly value for that and we have to learn that a draw away does not equal a won at home. Some really sloppy play from US at times that was desperate. I felt we had enough for a draw but there we are. Good opposition and fantastic counters from them
Good game lads - as ThaiCanery said, if you played the first hour or so like you did in the last 30 min, it would have been a whole more different.
I say this every game but Whits simply can't defend. He always looks flat footed and gets beaten so, so easily. I'd much rather we put Widom in.
Nearly soil mine every time the ball comes near Whittaker - can we really, really persist with him much longer?
A full blooded response in the end and a goal for Mbokani, who looks very promising on that performance, but we paid the price for leaving it too late. The crisp passing that has characterized our play this season just wasn't there. In the end the penalty was the critical factor, but Leicester were the better team overall, though getting the first goal makes that a lot easier.
For perhaps the first time today, I felt that AN was out-thought by his opposing manager. Never mind. One thing he's shown is that he learns. I'd bet on us to get something at Leicester in the second half of the season.
Somewhat agree. The game became very open and I thought we had a lot more chances in the last 30 minutes. Schlupp shoud have scored but apart from that we just sponged everything you threw at us and hit you on the break. I thought your central midfielders were very naive today, we got in behind them countless times. Overall, I think it's a game we deserved to win and i'm thrilled that we did so. Although I can see why Norwich fans might think they could have nicked it. Good luck for the season lads but thses are the games sides like you need to be picking up points at home in. Having said that I think there are comfortably 3 worse teams than yours so I think you'll be fine.
Vardy is a cheat, of course. But everyone is these days, so no point complaining about it.That's modern football.
Would like to see him get a chance to see what difference he makes but I do like Whitts when going forward.
What worried me today was the midfield. This has been our strength so far and today it was poor. Personally I think we put Dorrans on the bench and give Howson the centre midfield.
Hope so, but all three of them will change their managers soon, and who knows what effect that will have. Bournemouth, Watford and West Brom probably also in our sights, but today's game has probably got rid of all those fantasies I had of staying above the fray.
I feel that Whittaker is a great player in the right game. He has to play near the top of his ability and at the right times and he is a good asset. At the wrong time and when he has a bad game he is a liability in defence. I don't want to be too hard on the bloke because overall he has been a decent player for us most of the time. I feel like he isn't the best at reading the game at times, he tends to get out of position. A good example was the playoff final leading up to when Vossen nearly scored, didn't read the game. After that though he had a stormer.
I think Leicester done is a favour today. All our frailties were exposed for all to see and I believe AN is sharp enough to know what to do about them.
I went to the game today and witnessed someone say "Oh I was hoping that was Whittaker" when Howson misplaced a pass. Seriously, what is wrong with some people? Why do they seem to actively want a scapegoat? Completely bizarre.
