Still say I’d like to see him played in front of the back four… with cover he’d win a lot of the ball, and the times he misjudges he wouldn’t be giving away a goal. He’a actually tidy with the ball and can dribble (for a CB). Worth a 30 minute experiment as a Soumare replacement one game I think

He’s elite, and wouldn’t be with us if we got relegated. Whilst not quite as good Jakub is a really good keeper. So if £50m in Jan meant all of it spent on 3 permanent and 2 loans for a striker, a CB, RB, CAM, and winger, I’d cash in now and wish him well

It made little impact to the result but for me the ref had comedic periods where Liverpool could do almost anything and he’d wave his arms and tell our player to get up!!! Bordering on farcical at times… thankfully not the whole game

Ndidi Fatawu Vardy Mads Ricardo All out. Playing the team effectively 10points clear at the top at Xmas. Matching them for the first half. And you haven’t seen an improvement? Just what were you expecting??

The way that Ruud spoke to him as he came off - asking if he felt ok etc, seemed to suggest that it was due to fitness management

I’m pretty sure they’d have loved to have attacked more… but almost every player looked knackered out by the constant need to defend. We played a way better side than us. No shame in our performance today, if we play like this against the lower half teams we’ll pick up points

I’ll pin my colours to the mast here. I’ve seen enough of Ruud to back him, come what may this season. I genuinely think he’s our best chance of staying up, and if we don’t I back him to get us promoted. The club is sinking, but that’s down to Top running a business as a hobby, and wanting everyone to like him…. Not the manager

Sorry, but that’s a ridiculous take. There was a very clear plan, and like it or not, it was the one that stood the most chance of working given the difference in quality.

I’d normally agree - but I think if we’d have shown more ambition they’d have buried us. I get it that we should play to win, but I thought we had a decent game plan of hitting them on the break (we just haven’t got the personelle to go head to head)

Yep …. It’s terrible for football. We are weaker than we were at the point of promotion, because of some stupid rules theoretically aimed at protecting us!!! (I know, they’re not)

A lot of really harsh criticism on here today. They’re running away with the league, get loads of help from referees, and we have our 3 best players missing. Plenty of effort, some tidy football in the first half. Ultimately quality told, but we can hold our heads high and build on that performance. For the first time I had the feeling as in the great escape - we are good enough, we just need a good January window and a pinch of luck. (why we are here and long term plans etc all put aside FWIW)

Harsh to criticise him tonight, he put in a real shift and I thought had some positive impact on our play

Superb. Well played lads

Happy Christmas everyone! 🎄🎉🥂

DW1 TIT DO 1 WARD FOAD DANNY JUST NEVER PLAY FOR LEICESTER AGAIN YOU USELES TW@T DANNY Sorry. Forgot the question once I’d thought of DW

My only hope is that he was a Cooper signing and not our scouting team. If not we’re doomed.

“…. and I’ll never play him again”

Agree entirely. Ward is a symptom of the disease … at least the fan base is starting to recognise there’s something wrong

Instantly recognisable as The Guardian

Unfortunately so. RVN did the only obvious thing available to him in the circumstances - pick the guy with the number 1 shirt. I’d never criticise him for this - he hopefully sees what everyone else does now and that’s the last we see of DW.

Until recently I’d have instantly said Rudkin. Now I’m sad to say it’s Khun Top, we need a total reset.

I’m astonished…. As kids in training we had to do 10 press up (impressions) if we did it, a very effective way of remembering! Then in games we’d snigger as oppositions did it and we’d get a free kick. Maybe it was just a refereeing fad many many moons ago!

Surely that’s because nobody has made such a basic mistake that far up the pyramid??

Really??? That’s astonishing if he shouts “mine”… if the ref hears that it’s a free kick. “Mine” is a habit that’s coached out of 6 year old kids alongside picking the ball up when it comes to them. Seems like Danny didn’t listen to either instructions !

Personally I think that booing him (which is not something that I’ve ever done, and wasn’t at the game so didn’t this time… but I definitely would have) is aimed at expressing dissatisfaction publicly. The audience includes the decision makers that pick him to play and give him a contract extension - neither happen (in a functioning club) now. It’s also the only way to communicate with our man child owner. He will hate booing
