Fuchs, Amartey, Morgan, Huth, Simpson, Mahrez, Vardy - 4

Slimani, Albrighton, King, Schlupp, - 5

Zieler - 6

Drinkwater and Gray - 7

 

Ranieri - 5

 

Manchester United - 8 (they were excellent).

 

I didn't want to give Gray and Drinkwater more than 6 cos we got battered but only those 2 came out with any credit. Zieler did as well as he could with that shocking defending in front of him.

[Brooksy]

Gray MOTM with Drinky second. 

 

The rest were utter shite

[Chico1958]

Drinkwater MOTM for LCFC

 

Gray and Zieler did OK

 

The rest were no better than a Championship Team at Best

 

Claudio.............Sorry buddy but they don't deserve you

Morgan 9 . everyone else was below 5. Amarty gets ZERO.  Gray possibly the only one over 5, with Morgan obviously.

Some great banter there 

[okie fox]

Gary 7, Drinkwater, Zieler 6, Schlupp 5, rest4, ref 5, Man U (with pace instead of Rooney & Fellaini) 8. Ranieri 4

Obvious Schlupp can't be effective on right wing so playing him with Gray, who likes to cut inside from left wing and shoot, is not going to work. 

[AyewJoking]

no point grading the second half as it was nothing more than a kick-about which is a shame because gray looked good and scored a beauty.

 

first half not really worth grading either unless you're handing out 1's and 2's.

 

drinkwater was the only one who had a quiet game rather than a shocker

 

now ive posted this i can erase the debacle from my memory

[Captain...]

It's clear people are focussing on the result more than the performance. We were on top first 20 minutes, had United on the back foot and were carving out chances and putting them under pressure.

 

First United goal was poor defending, but that is a mistake, they happen.

Second United goal was a nice interchange with Lingard and Mata and a great finish, but it was another mistake that let it happen.

Third goal I think we were still reeling and completely switched off for the corner worried about the height in there.

Fourth goal, was just Pogba being bigger and stronger than Fuchs.

 

United have some beasts in their team, Pogba, Smalling, Zlatan, Bailly, they beat us with 3 set pieces. It sucks, but it is not time for slitting wrists. We were not played off the park for 90 minutes. First 20 minutes we were on top, we won the second half 1-0 (for what little that counts for) for 25 minutes United got at us and we made uncharacteristic mistakes. I've seen people banging on about the formation needing changing and we need to play 3 in midfield etc, but it was set pieces that did for us today having extra bodies in midfield wouldn't have helped.

 

I also didn't agree with taking off Vardy and Mahrez to save their legs for Porto, take them off because they were having a poor game, but foxes never quit, even 4-0 down at Old Trafford. It basically sent out the message that the game is over and at times the second half was like extra time against Chelsea. The Champions League is important but it shouldn't become a distraction. That is 2 games we've played before a CL game and both games had uncharacteristic mistakes in, as though their minds were else where.

 

Losing at Old Trafford and Anfield is very easy to recover from, many clubs will go there and lose this season, likewise losing at the Etihad and the Emirates, these will most likely happen especially if we are not 100% on our game. I know we are reigning champions, but we are also still Leicester with a squad that cost less than Pogba.

 

On the plus side Gray had a great showing second half and shows that he is ready to step up to the first team, but it has to be either for Mahrez or as part of a formation change. The  fans were also great and could be heard loud and clear all game, despite the result.
