This'll be my first leicester game since covid...very much looking forward to it! Hope I get to see Justin, Evans and Fofana all playing

So having had time to review the match I'm really wavering on brendo. Obviously every time we lose i feel a brendo out surge but then I usually calm down review it and I'm fine but my god even with a good performance we're still all over the place. Schmeical Ndidi Soyoncu all look completely gone on any confidence they had. Esp troubling for ndidi and soyoncu who need the confidence to throw themselves about and win stuff now they are both pulling out of challenges or hesitating meaning they lose them (last season wilf would have stopped their first goal by getting a foot on it. This leaves wilf a bit lost in the middle. Thomas is a young man who needs guidance from the back and has absolutely none. Good player but finds himself in no mans land far too often. Amartey is very worrying. Does all the basics well. Tackling heading blocking. But he is just absolutely clueless at positioning and defensive decision making. Doesnt close down when needed closes down when needs to hold line and always moves over to soyoncus side for no reason and leaves a massive whole (look at the pereira block in early first half) Attack we're missing vardy and barnes and we dont have a good right winger. However, there were huge tactical errors. Why did KDH stay on instead of Ndidi. Ndidi going off meant madders and tielemans had to play deeper positions and couldnt push on. Also ndidi was playing well second half. Also KDH was knackered. And why for the love of jesus did we not put iheanacho with daka. No sense whatsoever. Its these errors which leave me questioning brodge.

What position did he/does he play? And what were his main strengths. Didnt get a chance to watch yesterday.

Wes Morgans "handball" v liverpool - still don't know what happened there.

Why is it when there is space for us to run forward in to, I'm looking back to the Cb's knowing that is where its going

This game even put my dad to sleep.

Maybe brendan thinks we're winning?

Absolutely clueless and Brendan isnt changing a thing

Overall not bad but we still cant defend

Madders been one of the decent ones

betrand and youri awful tonight

you have to laugh

Jeezus christ. Lookman 1 on 1 with the defender. Stops and. then holds his hands up like nothing is on. Cross it. Take the guy on. What the hell!!

We cannot defend

Ndidi bad this season but soumare doesnt compliment him. No energy behind him when Ndidi presses

cracking ball

players look really void of any confidence. no risks being taken

Well done lads

Very good full back. Not a very goo wing back. Think its kinda obvious at this point

Look, Amartey is fine. He isn't mind blowing, he isn't terrible. For me I view him as a squad player. Not someone you would ideally want in the starting 11 but if he's there, you aren't thinking we're gunna lose. Essentially how I viewed praet last year. Lets not get carried away by pretending he is some new godfather of the defence with the skills of fofana.

Ok here is why soumare Ndidi doesnt work. Ndidi is an aggressive player at his best. He goes in, nicks the ball, tackles the player and shoves him over. However, his weakness is that if he is beaten then because he has pressured, he leaves space in behind. This is fine with youri in the middle and madders as an 8 because they can read the game and fill in behind him (esp youri - this is also why ndidi needs three in midfield) However, soumare being unable to run beyond 60% capacity means that he doesn't fill the spaces back in so the midfield is just one huge gap if Ndidi is beaten. Hamza runs about but can't read the game so he is also useless partner for Ndidi. Lets see how KDH does. Clearly he is willing to run about and he can do some risky passing which is good. Why not give him a go. i think its worth a try.

I would never sack rodgers in a billion years but if he were to go to united I would say "fair play mate" and happily look to whats next

What is big nige doing?

We do need a palace level overhaul. Whatever happens this season. A nice refresh next season wont go amiss

Its not really set pieces. Its the same corner, the same move, the same routine, the same thing. We know whats coming. we cant defend it. Why
