Because Olsson wasn't tracked by Albrighton, wasn'r closed down by Simpson, wasn't blocked by Huth and he smashed it on target. Kasper isn't invincible. 

 

Tell me why Kasper was at fault? 

He had a blunder. The ball came right at him in the tight angle. Shit happens. Even to Kasper.

No? Not sure if you misread something but I never said he wasn't good enough based off this error. He should have done better though. He threw the original ball to a Swansea player then gets beaten at his near post. If it wasn't Schmeichel you'd agree.

Schmeichel 4  Big boot down field which always finds the other teams players, stands on his line, never comes out to make the ball is own. No command of his area. 30 mil to Liverpool take the money and run.

 

Simpsom 1  Not a clue who he should be marking, can only pass the ball sideways and backwards, throws and balls upfield always find other teams players.

 

Morgan 1. Well past his sell by date. Sell him back to Forest they could do with him. Can not understand why him and Huth always go forward for corners and free kicks very little reward, always seem to give away a free kick or get in the way of other players. Leaves us open at the back.

 

Huth 1  Same as Morgan, as one Swansea fan said nothing but a donkey.

 

Fuchs  1.  Gone off the rails from last season, Chilwell much better player.

 

Mahrez  3.  Spent most of the game walking around the pitch, no running or tackling back offered very little, thinks he can walk into the team, needs to be sat on the bench more until he pulls his finger out.

 

Drinkwater  2. All gone wrong this season needs help in centre of park and quick.

 

Ndidi. 3. Give this lad time and he will come good, if we can hold on to him.

 

Albrighton 2. Like Drinky all going wrong this season needs to pick it up.

 

Gray. 7. Best player on the field yet again MOTM for me, try's to do a little to much at times, but still young and will learn with every game.

 

Vardy  3.  Poor as been found out, like the rest of our tactics we need to find other ways of getting him in on goal.

 

Slimani. 3

Chilwell   3

Amartey.  3

 

Ranirei.  6.   Still think he can pull us through.

 

The whole squad needs to take a look at them selves in the mirror and ask them selves am I giving my all, I think that the reply would be a BIG NO to most of them.

 

Please please put some logic behind your Ranieri score and comment.

[LFEFox23]

Ndidi and Gray only players that showed anything!

WTFs up with Vardy and Drinky, totally different players from 6 months ago .... All Vardy was doing yesterday was pointing at things,no graft or attacking sense! Drinky just seems lost, Maybe not having world class players next to him is showing him up?

Are you taking the piss?

At what stage does he say 'Kasper Schmeichel is not good enough'.

 

What's more mental is that 'some people' can't see that a goalkeeper who a) gives the ball away in the first place and b) moves out of the way for the goal, is at fault for the goal. Just because he's got a good attitude doesn't mean he can't be criticised when he plays like a moron. 

[Bezzanator89]

Kasper Schmeichel 4 - Could do nothing about Mawson's thunderous volley from close range, and continues to be horrendously exposed by a static and virtually non-existent back-line. At fault for the second goal on two counts, poor throw out and could have gotten behind Olsson's shot regardless of how well it was hit. Questionable distribution too.

 

Danny Simpson 3 - Same old story. Caught out of position for the second goal, and his distribution continues to be absolutely terrible. Don't recall a single pass finding their mark.

Wes Morgan 3 - Also known as the proverbial statue from last week, and not much has changed. Whether he should have been penalised for handball may split opinion, but his increasing lack of awareness in his own box is very alarming.

Robert Huth 3 - Should consider him slightly fortunate not to be dismissed for a reckless two-footed challenge, and his frustration almost boiled over when the match was over. Least it showed he still cares a little. Poor.

Christian Fuchs 4 - The best of the bad bunch of a back-line. But surely now must be looking over his shoulder as Ben Chilwell continues to improve and challenge for his place, and at times, has looked twice the player that Fuchs is.

 

Riyad Mahrez 1 - Did not look remotely interested, like he has already decided he is leaving in the Summer. For all we know, we sold him last year and brought in his lesser-talented twin, if he has one. Sloppy, lazy and really did not seem bothered.

Danny Drinkwater 2 - Utterly ineffective and incapable of passing to players in front to him to kick-start any meaningful forward momentum to trouble Swansea. With all the sideways/backwards passing we do, its little wonder we have not scored in 2017 yet.

Wilfred Ndidi 5 - Feel so sorry for this lad, he has walked into a right mess. Certainly tries when the pass actually gets passed to him, but sadly can't do it all on his own. Will get better, but hopefully in the PL rather than the Championship.

Marc Albrighton 2 - Completely lost his marker for goal number two, though I will question why he was substituted considering Slimani was brought on at the same time. Seems to be less effective as of late, like the rest of his team.

 

Demarai Gray 4 - Huffed and puffed with very little progress, doesn't seem that much of a team player either. But this is a steep learning curve at such a young age and he will get better. 

Jamie Vardy 3 - Lack of service once again an issue, but can't say he made the most of chances that came his way. Should have passed on one occasion rather than going it alone, and a poor first tough followed by a wayward shot another chance go begging.

 

Islam Slimani 4 - Spurned a big chance when put through by Mahrez, and almost seemed to keep his head ducked down with a cross that seemed destined for him from six yards out. An improved threat but enough to trouble Fabianski.

Ben Chilwell 3 - Brought on when Leicester are again chasing the game to no avail, but why he was on the bench is anyone's guess. Committed two needless fouls to showcase his frustration, and despite Jon Moss' warning, picked up a booking as a result.

Daniel Amartey N/A - Came on too late to make any real impression on the game. The match was lost and it would be unfair to critique his performance based on mere minutes of playing time.

 

Claudio Ranieri 2 - Got it completely wrong today, and obviously learned very little from the performance against Derby earlier in the week. Coupled with a couple of tactical errors during substitutions, I find it hard to see how he can save the club from relegation.

 

Jonathan Moss 6 - A decent game from the official who is understandably remembered for Vardy's sending off last season. Got most decisions correct but could have let the game flow a bit more, but we have had a lot worse refereeing shows this season.

 

Swansea City 6 - Hardly spectacular, but we made them look better than they were. Two very well-taken goals, but defensive frailties made them possible. Saw out the game with no real difficulty, and it was the ease of the victory that will bring the most worry.

 

As a side-note, the eagle-eyed fans who watched Sky Sports 1 will see the chairman shaking his head on more than one occasion, that does not bode well for Ranieri. Don't be too surprised if we see immediate radical changes, both on and off the pitch.

You're most welcome.

 

You give a 1 to the guy who was the start of the most dangerous attacks, which is absolutely mindboggling when I see you gave a 3 for the liabilities at the back, the passenger at the front and then for the young FB who should have started the game and played infinitely better than the guy he replaced and to whom you gave a 4.

 

But maybe it's all due to the live-stream.

Thank you for the sarcasm, its certainly appreciated, sadly you didn't spot mine.  Not that it changes my opinion in any shape or form. Everyone will interpret things differently, accept it.

 

I give 1 to the guy in question, because he did not look interested. He slumps around the pitch looking like he is either dreaming of a not-so-big money move or a nice holiday. Least the defence shows slightly more enthusiasm, and the fact we can't even score is a reflection on his failure to provide sufficient adequate chances. Don't know what game you watched, but in situations where he would have took the opposition on with his trickery, he just stands still and waits for the over-lap, followed by an under/over-hit pass. You simply cannot deny his confidence is shot, and that is a reflection in his belief and approach on the pitch. There is a laziness that dominates his play, and it is infuriating.

 

But maybe you just just watched a different game.

Chilwell wasn't infinitely better than Fuchs, he was almost just as bad.

 

We need to stop claiming people are playing brilliant just because they are young or making debuts. 

[jmono84]

I thought mahrez was shocking too... he looked completely half hearted and has done for weeks... I don't buy he's that type of player coz I remember a few times last season when I thought 'good lad for getting stuck in'. He knows he will be playing elite football next season whatever happens this season

I said "infinitely better" than Fuchs. Even if exaggerated that put things in perspective since Fuchs is in a poor form. Chilwell, who performed consistently better and still have a good marge of progression, in the starting XI is a no brainer.

If we can't score that has also something to do with the both up front particulary, the one-trick greyhound who's strolling near the opponent defense and scored in only one of his last twenty games. Not saying Mahrez had a great game, far from it, but giving him a 1 is totally ridiculous. Especially when you see the appalling performance of who's around him, particularly Drinkwater who really hid the whole game, Vardy and naturally the back four. Said back four which, I'll give them that, enthusiastically defended at a Championship level the whole season.

 

Mahrez "laziness" or seemling care free attitude, whichseems new to you, was always there and is part of his game. What you apparently didn't see is how much he back tracked. Naturally you can't expect from him a 1 yard sliding tackle to get the ball and from there on, take on 3 players and then put a cross on Slim's head or a killer pass for Vardy. Or did you?

 

But you're right to each their own, perception lies in the eye of the observer.

Kasper 5 -  Wasn’t at fault for the goals but sloppy distribution didn’t help matters.

Simpson 4 - Poor in every sense and confidence shot to bits.

Wes 3 - You see his heart is still in it but as usual run’s around like a headless chook.

Huth 2 - Can’t defend, can’t pass, fouls too much, total liability. 

Fuchs 4 - Same as Simpson, so decent when on form, total gash at the moment. 

Mahrez 6 - Worked hard for a change, put some neat balls through but was let down by his team mates on this occasion.  

Drinkwater 0 - USELESS, on par with our 2 CB’s for the season but at least they offer a goal threat on occasions, DD is detrimental to the side... the rotten core if you like.

Ndidi 6 Works tirelessly and tries to compensate for the lack of contribution his fellow CM gives.

Gray 7 Always looking to create something, didn’t always work out but at least he gives it all.

Albrighton 3 - Looks to work hard (as he should) but his passing accuracy was horrible again. Losing the ball all too often.

Vardy 4 - did better than usual but can’t win a trick, lacks confidence and composure. 

 

Slimani 5 - Offered us slightly more threat just not sharp enough.

Chilwell 5 - Does some very good things then some equally shlt things but a better option than Fuchs at the mo.  

Amartey 5 - Played ok for what it was worth.

 

Claudio 1 - Clueless as usual, you can bugga off now, don’t make us hate you.

 

Swansea fans 5 for singing you're fookin shlt because they're not wrong.

Ladies ladies keep you're hair on ...yes the throw was dodgy hence why I mentioned sloppy distribution and yes ok kasper could've reacted quicker, agreed, but I still say half the blame is on the defence for not being alert enough.. just for a change.  If you have a different opinion then that's great because that's what a forum is for. Kasper still a 5/10 for me with some blame for the second goal. Happier now? ...Probably not. 

[Chester Dontlie]

Up to their first goal we didn't look that bad. We didn't create any chances, but there was some effort involved and we even tried to play from the back a bit. As soon as they scored the second one, we were completely shot. It's a recurring theme this season, once we trail we cant get back into the game. The Fuchs-Chilwell and Simpson-Amartey substitutions were surreal. 

 

I for one thought Mahrez was among the few mediocre players (together with Schmeichel and Ndidi) among the dross. He had many poor and quite a few abysmal games this season but imo this time his teammates overshadowed him in that regard. Non-honorable mention goes to Drinky. I wish CR would bench him for his own sake, he's just shocking. Even though he no longer hears Ranieri's bell, it's unlikely to happen. 

I thought Gray was our best, I gave him 6. He pressed and harassed their players from the start Okazaki style, thats probably why he faded in the second half. I'd rather if he was spared from the cup games. We need to start him fresh & free of injuries in the Prem. Despite having poor game Slim should start league games instead of Vardy. Vards needs bench time like the desert needs the rain.

 

Swansea were poor yet still our players barely threatened them. John ****ing Moss was my MOTM, How grim is that.

 

I wonder what the owners think about this state of affairs. I think it's time to say goodbye to Claudio and take a chance. We might stay up, we might go down, but nobody will say we didn't try to change

 

[okie fox]

4's except Gray and Ndidi 6, Amartey, Slimani and Simpson 5.  Ref and Swansea average -, Ranieri 4.  Absolutely no spirit in the team anymore (with a few exceptions).  They are playing like deer in the headlights.  Even Hull who sold their two best players in Jan are fighting to stay up.

[Dickov22]

I don't think anyone can be awarded higher than a 4 for that performance other than Demarai Gray (7 out of 10) Mahrez wasn't bad on the ball either but that's the first game I've seen where I would genuinely question his work rate off the ball. 

 

I don't think the players are the problem. It wouldn't matter which 11 he picked, the dressing room have clearly lost all faith in him. 

 

 

The fact that so many players have all turned rubbish can only be down to one thing, and that's the manager.

 

I can't believe the owners have given him a stay of execution. 

 

I also think hes too arrogant to resign. 

[MattCan]

Mahrez and Ndidi are the players who created few occasions. Not much to say really.
