0's all round, no one deserves any credit from that, we simply don't care.

 

Edit: i'll make a sensible comment and ratings later, just angry right now 

[urban.spaceman]

1s all round. Unbelievable. 

[UPinCarolina]

If we're languishing in the relegation zone come January, Claudio will be on a very hot seat.

 

Mahrez MOTM.

[pSinatra]

Everyone 3

 

Ranieri 3

 

Watford 4 for being only slightly less shit than us

[Loves2spooge]

The whole team was out today , took them too much time to get in the game , poor defending got us 2 goals down 

The penalty was a total gift and the worst part  is we missed a whole lot of chances that were almost guaranteed goals 

 

Leicester city's pattern must change , Mahrez is a cool kid and all but NOT every attack should go through him , he is a key player 

but Claudio needs other key players so this team can work

 

 

[Monsell1976]

Mahrez 5, the rest 1, subs made little difference, but better than the shower that started, so subs 3

claudio gets 0, no tactics and same shit different day.

voted stay for Claudio, but his failure to change things around is testing my patience, these cannot live of the glory of last season, they need to start earning their  newly inflated salaries 

[Heart-Shaped Fox]

4s all around. Mahrez 3 possibly Vardy too.

 

Unbelievable Jeff... wins motm I think

Schlupp was probably our best player and only played for around 30 mins, and that's saying something.

[inckley fox]

Do people seriously think that Amartey was one of our worst players? He won his 50-50s most of the time, had a reasonable pass completion, made no costly errors - and in a team which was a catastrophe waiting to happen. I wasn't overly impressed, but I really can't accept him being singled out as one of our biggest problems. If you have a CB who lets every ball bounce, a fellow CM who is to blame for one goal and partly to blame for another, an LW and LB who look off the pace, a CF who - we're told - can't play after travelling midweek, and then - lo and behold - offered nothing today, then I'd be tempted to focus on those shortcomings.

 

He's a young midfielder who needs belief and who didn't do a great deal without, equally, getting a great deal wrong. And in a side which was getting lots of things wrong. No he's not Kante, but then again Vardy isn't Vardy, Morgan isn't Morgan, Drinkwater isn't Drinkwater and Mahrez isn't Mahrez. It's going to be harder for Amartey to address the fact that he's got to match one of the best midfielders on the planet, than it is for the others to reproduce form which they've previously consistently produced. So let's give him a break, eh?

[steveherbe]

Mahrez 1, and only cos the keeper dived out of the way of his pen. A luxury we can no longer afford, get rid

 

MOTM, the homemade curry we've just had.

[FireFox]

Overreactions...

 

The performance was all together pretty poor, but not "1s or 3s to everyone" bad. We only lost by one goal, and plenty of players did decent.

[Fox92]

Zieler 4 - Not commanding at all. 

 

Simpson 5

Huth 5

Morgan 5

Fuchs 4 - Shocker

 

Mahrez 5 - Dangerous but always tries to much. 

Drinkwater 5

Amartey 4

Albrighton 4 - Kicked the ball anywhere every time he got it

 

Okazki 5

Vardy 5 - Feeding off scraps but won the penalty.

 

Referee 0 - Fvck off

Ranieri 3 - Shit selection, shit tactics, shit style of play.

What!!!!!!. If you want to blame someone you should blame the subpar RB that can't overlap to save his life. Or the CMs that can't play a fast paced one touch pass. Or the second striker that is only playing because he can help the mid. Love it or not. Mahrez is levels better then his teammates.they are dragging him to the ground. You blame him for not getting the 3 points single handedly. Do you realize that he is the only winger that gets zero help from the fullback compared to other good wingers in the league. And he is defending more then them. Look at hazard last season. And look at him now. That is what a proper CM, coach and a fullback can do to you. Or just look at the "no end product" lallana. Or the inconsistent coutinho/mane. They are taking the league by storm. Because they have good teammates and a coach that can use them properly. And mahrez is here looking at king/okazaki/amartey and Simpson saying "June can't come fast enough"

Agree with nearly all of them.

 

Schlupp finally started showing some ambition again. I can forgive him when he does that.

Hes miles ahead of any of his teammates and we rely far too much on him to be magic every single week. Lucky to have him.

Spot on - I agree with all those scores.  Never thought I'd vote for Jeff as MotM this season !

[lgfualol]

I think Mahrez was my motm. Without him in the team I'd be worried we could even get out our own half.

 

Hard to go above 4 for pretty much everyone but Schlupp 6 and Zieler 5. First half Vardy was great but then (as you can imagine with 0 service) he was basically not even in the game until that awful shot. Disappointed with how much certain players gave the ball away so needlessly, it's the reason why I don't want Albrighton starting for us atm.

[Chico1958]

Ron-Robert Zieler - 6/10

Could do little about the goals, but Leicester missed the reassuring presence of Kasper Schmeichel. Made a good save from Roberto Pereyra’s header.

Danny Simpson – 5/10

Both of Watford’s goals came from Leicester’s right, as Pereyra got the better of Simpson in the opening stages.

Wes Morgan – 5/10

Looked unsettled by his sides’ slow start, making some clumsy tackles and clearances. Beaten in the air by Younes Kaboul at set plays on more than one occasion.

Robert Huth – 6/10

Uncertain at times but still the Foxes' most solid defensive presence.

Christian Fuchs – 5/10

Had a nightmare time up against Nordin Amrabat and Daryl Janmaat. Replaced by Jeffrey Schlupp in the 68^th minute.

Riyad Mahrez – 6/10

Gave Carlos Zuniga a hard time in the first half but couldn’t reproduce that in the second half. Great penalty to bring Leicester back into the game.

Daniel Amartey – 5/10

Tidy in possession of the ball without making a mark on the game.

Danny Drinkwater – 5/10

Lost the ball in the build up to Watford’s opener. Tried hard to inspire his team with some probing forward balls early in the second half.

Marc Albrighton – 5/10

Put in his usual shift but failed to make an impact on the game. Replaced by Ahmed Musa in the 78th minute.

Shinji Okazaki – 5/10

Like Albrighton, there was no shortage of effort before he was taken off for Demarai Gray.

Jamie Vardy – 6/10

Hassled the Hornets back four and won a penalty from Miguel Britos. Faded away in the second half as Watford's defiant defence sat deep.

Substitutes

Jeffrey Schlupp – 6/10

A bright performance off the bench. Coped better than Fuchs with Watford’s attacking threat, and also made a couple of penetrating forward runs.

Demarai Gray – 4/10

Booked for dissent. Offered little else.

Ahmed Musa – 5/10

Couldn’t inspire a late Leicester comeback.

 

I think this a fair assessment from what I've read, saw and listened to.......................HITC

By virtue of having the highest score, this means you've given Drinkwater your MOTM. No chance. He's quality but he's been awful the last couple of games, looks exhausted.

Because he's doing the work of two players. Trying to win the ball back and trying to create... No wonder he's making mistakes. We need a proper defensive midfielder to win the ball back.

 

Kante let our players flourish so much and now we're missing that.

 

Drinkwater was no worse than any other player yesterday and I can certainly pick two or three that were worse.

Point taken   

 

But who'd replace him ?
