They are worse and will end up conceding more goals.

Hahahah. Can’t wait for them to go down. Can’t stand them.

How could that squad have had more quality when I’m constantly being told our squad now is the best this division has ever seen?

K then

Hopefully another 5+.

13/14 was much stronger. Wouldn't have crumbled like this squad.

Not here for an English lesson.

Morrisons is so expensive now.

They won't finish 9th. The teams below - West Ham, Newcastle, Brighton - are the most inconsistent teams. Brighton especially, win then lose, been on the end of some awful results. Another discussion but I'm not sure how De Zerbi is so highly rated.

I never feel like we're going to get back into a game at 2 down, mad to say that considering we're top. We scored Saturday, had another 5 min spell after, then it all completely died again.

Brilliant.

The question now is. Will we beat the 102 points set by our 13/14 team?

So should Preston at 1-0. People are happy to call for VAR when it's for their team.

As awful as it ended, we won a major trophy and qualified for Europe via league qualification which is mental to think now.

A nice trip to Pride Park.

Away end looked mental when they scored. Hope they get another.

“We won on big chances”? Wtf is this. We didn’t score our chances against Middlesbrough and Leeds, end of. Lost. Earlier in the season teams weren’t taking their chances against us (if Coventry had Gyokeres still they’d have beaten us at home) but now they are. All a team needs is one goal against us and we don’t look like we are going to equalise. Created nothing today. Against Leeds, created a lot but couldn’t finish. No need for excuses, just not good enough.

Good grief. Iheanacho and Daka on 70k plus

There would be a large section of people who would back King Power even if they oversaw us relegated again and again. Where are they gonna get their free beer once a season? Makes you think.

If we weren’t to go up, from the position we were in, then his job should be on the line. Especially when you consider our budget, facilities and squad compared to the rest of the league. My heart says we will go up still but after today’s defeat my head has swung me a bit. The Middlesbrough and Leeds defeats I could just about put up with but today we were awful and lost to a side in a relegation battle (granted their form has been good recently).

I’ve never rated Faes. Looked good this season but it’s a division below. If we were to go up certain areas do need strengthening.

If he’s not on his game then we’ve got nothing. Everything good usually goes through him.

Previous eras didn’t spend as much money as now, which is why OP probably said Praet is among our worse transfers. We’ve had worse players in previous eras but they cost us minimal compared to, for example, the near £20m we paid for Praet.

He did say “it is what it is” again though. Cheers for that.

I thought we couldn’t bring anyone in? FFP/finances?
