    FT 2-2.

    Credit to Leicester, they played the perfect second half.

    We didn't.

    I think we are a counter attacking team and prefer playing away from home. I am yet to see us play well at home, possibly aside from the game against Norwich.

    I hope Koeman has some strong words for them after that second half.

    Credit to Leicester for the comeback, but catastrophic decision-making on our part throughout the second half. And yeah...the subs did not help things in the least.

    Shocking second half, all credit to Leicester they were immense. No shame in not taking all three points against a side playing like that

    We were rubbish in the second half, Liecester deserved to win this match. Koeman didn't help at all with his subs, not the first time this season.

    I though the headless chicken tactics were behind us, but apparently not.

    2nd half has been bad .but you could counter that by saying that leicester city have had a stonking 2nd half. Losing a 2.0 lead is not good but we got a point. Im just thankfull they didint win all 3

    We could have been 3 or 4 up at half time, what a poor second half performance. Completely fell apart after their goal. I'm quite relieved that it was only a draw, Leicester could've won that at the end.

    Think I said it to Fats before, but I hate leading 2-0, however strange that may sound.

    Frustrating in that we would of been prepared for what they are capable of, yet couldn't do anything about it!

    Yes, but our subs have been questionable again. Yoshida is not a full-back and Clasie was not the right choice for the second half, albeit presumably he was brought on to retain possession.

    I think the main disappointment is that we were so sloppy in the second half as much as anything. Not seen us give up the ball so easily in a while.

    Meh. Gotta give credit where credit is due. I don't know about all this "let off" stuff. Leicester were fantastic. They looked a threat all game.

    Their midfield was tenacious and they have a ton of pace. Saints legs just started to get tired. They maybe panicked a bit, but that's what happens when the other team is relentless.

    I'm not too upset about a draw. Very impressed by Leicester though.

    Leicester definitely upped their game in the second half, but that's no excuse. The subs we made were partly to blame, as Clasie was never going to be as effective as Davis given his lack of game time. Yoshida did OK but never posed any threat going forward. And I really don't know what Mané was thinking with that chip.
