Thanks Abdul. Not only one of the best goals I have ever seen live but the best advert ever for not leaving your seat early and trying to beat the half-time queues. The bloke next to me and the one in front both missed it. My heart bleeds 😂

Not sure how Cifuentes sleeps tonight after that hideous display of mismanagement in the second half that threw away two points. Bristol City were all over us from the 46th to the 95th minute and he was utterly incapable of doing anything about it. In fact all he did was make it worse, and we were lucky in the end to get a point. He got away with his misguided second half tactics against Derby but not tonight. I just want him gone.

That second half was all on Cifuentes and his cowardice. Three strikes and you’re out. First half v Sheff Utd. Second half v Derby. Second half v Bristol City. Awful beyond words.

Let’s face it. This manager is terrible. Got away with it at Derby but not tonight

Any leaders out there because it sure isn’t coming from the dugout?

His negative second half tactics worked because of the final scoreline, which had much to do with Derby’s runaway top scorer being injured. I just feel that we were so good in the first half with our pressing and industry (and deadly finishing) that Derby didn’t know what had hit them. His scaredy-cat ‘sit back’ stance after the interval made for needlessly nervy viewing because it handed a very average side the initiative. We could have powered them out of the game completely with a continuation of the first half strategy but no, we made it hard on ourselves and because of the defensive mindset continually lost 50-50s and sloppily conceded possession. On another day it could easily have ended 3-3 (or worse!) given all the penalty box pressure they put us under. If we actually put a complete 90 minute performance together at some point, I might change my opinion but for now he seems a manager of limited scope to me. Let’s see if this is the turning point. I have my doubts…

Three very valuable points. After a brilliant first half Cifuentes’ inherent negativity made the second far too nerve racking for my liking. We had them on the rack yet ended up hanging on for dear life because of the tactics and subs. Ultimately it worked but it is a concern going forward. We still haven’t seen two good halves in any game under this manager. Take the win though…

Anyone having a go at Ayew can do one. He’s had a bullet header wrongly disallowed and had another great effort saved. He might not be the paciest but he is a proper footballer unlike Daka

Please carry on like this second half and don’t sit back and let them play. About time we had two good halves of football…

Let’s face it. He has improved nothing since he arrived. Not a thing. And look at the two clueless goons that came before him.. I’ve had enough of watching this team go nowhere but down the plug hole under his wretched sterile management. Get rid asap.

Not up to it, is he? It’s not the late equaliser that should condemn him but the fact that we all knew it was coming. This is a bad team getting worse, and he looks incapable of doing anything to stem the tide.

The consistent failure of so many of our players to anticipate the play and get their body in the right position to keep hold of the ball and then be able to link up with a teammate throughout the game was alarming. These are bad players badly coached. The conclusion was all but inevitable. The ”you’re not fit to wear the shirt” chant is spot on.

Claudio Ranieri won us the Premier League then was leading us to relegation when he got sacked. Brendan Rodgers won us the FA Cup then was leading us to relegation when he got sacked. If Ranieri returned to the King Power he would be deafened by cheers. If Rodgers returned to the King Power he would be deafened by jeers. The reason? Simple. Claudio is a lovely human being. Brendan is a ****.

Would those who a few games ago were misguidedly singing his praises after one assist v Wrexham - one poster in particular springs to mind - care to reconsider their verdict? Nailing your colours to Daka’s mast is about as irrational - not to say idiotic - as Cifuentes playing him. I never want to see this clown performing in a Leicester shirt again. Enough is enough. Give someone in the Academy a chance. They can’t be any worse.

Why can’t we play with the intensity we had at the finish during the whole game? This ponderous possession for possession’s sake tedium has got to stop. It’s killing all the joy.

Daka, Soumare, Choudhury. You reap what you sow.

Agreed

Ditch the ‘philosophy’ or pack your bags. This tedious possession game bores me to tears. And the players aren’t good enough to do it. Where is the entertainment or excitement? It’s just horrible to watch.

This is ‘the week’

Fair point. The alternatives are not great. I’d change the whole system and style of play. But given that the manager seems to be wedded to it I’d rather see Carranza given a go from the start. He might be an improvement, he might not. But we have ample evidence - several seasons of it - that Daka is not the answer.

Even 36 handicap golfers occasionally sink a 40 foot putt.

Anyone advocating that Daka is the answer up front is basically accepting that we are not going to challenge for promotion. He is a fine athlete but a terrible footballer. Watching him constantly fall over, misplace passes and air shot good chances is just too painful for words.

So fed up with this ponderous, unadventurous easy-to-defend against, barely-test-the-keeper style of football. Can we have some excitement and goalmouth action please? Or is that not part of the f****** ‘philosophy’? Wrexham were there for the taking…. Until they realised how impotent we were, with a circus act in attack and a manager seemingly hellbent on allowing them to get back into the game with his senseless substitutions.

Good midfield at last. Winks the maestro. Terrible full backs and a clown up front. Wingers not delivering but we know they can.

Only two duff performances - Mavididi and Choudhury - which makes a nice change. Winks MotM. His ability to move the ball accurately and - more importantly - quickly transforms the team.
