Quite a narrow defeat.

 

It was always going to be somewhat of a free hit.

 

If we get our injured midfielders back, we'll cruise to the Champs league.  We'd all have taken that.

 

Shout out to Kasper.  Decent again.

 

Shit out to the ref / VAR not reviewing DeBrunye's handball 1st half.

 

[EastAnglianFox]

I know they have quality all over but we are still far far too passive

[coolhandfox]

Never seen a side be so passive after going a goal behind, pass it square around the back with minutes to go! 

 

Sometimes you have to forget you principles.

 

Vardy very average again.

 

Barnes is like that fit bird who turns out to be a crap shag.

 

 

[Pliskin]

Disappointed. Slightly annoyed and somewhat concerned.  

[spacemunky]

Shame Nacho had to go off at the half. Really thought he was looking good to get one against his former club.

Rogers needed to change it at 70 minutes, it was obvious we were spent, absolute shame that

Why are they spent 

 

2 games in 3 or 4 weeks 

[twister]

not a awful performence but ref was terrible , and what  has happened to vardy

 

he looks like his first yeaqr in the championship

 

Confidence shot, hate to say it but maybe time for Vardy to be droped

That's what we're capable of and its going to only get better. On the edge my seat most of the match.

[sheffield_fox]

Punch our player in the face. Injure him. Ruin our game plan.

 

No foul. It's not cheating. 

 

It's "playing the game"

[Benguin]

Has anyone got a poorer first touch than Chilwell in the dying minutes of a game were chasing? 

[Fightforever]

They're ****ing VAR up on purpose so that the outrage will get it binned either way the bigger teams will always get the desicions. I'm falling out of love with the game now TBH all this cheating is putting me off big time.

 

[Daggers]

Next week will be the very first time I've wanted Villa to win

[Blue-fox]

Thought teliemens was an absolute passenger today. Thought we gave it a good go, wonder what we’ve got to do to get a handball decision for us though. 

[ARTY_FOX]

Great 80 shit last 10

I’m just not enjoying watching football this season with all this VAR shit

It's incredible that we are likely to be playing European football next season yet week after week I'm starting to hate the game more and more

[NeilLCFC]

Still trying to understand why their handball didn’t even go to a VAR check??

 

One rule for the ‘big teams’ and another for everyone else.

Pleased with the performance. We were clearly knackered by the end, so it wasn't to be. They got a nice helping hand from VAR too.

[Ecdysiast]

Should have had two penalties. Would have been a draw at least. Given what else has happened today this could be the end of VAR

[foxsake]

WTF have we got to do to get a peno?? Also - only given 2 mins injury time in the first half after Nacho is laid out for 4 minutes and then 3 mins in the second half when it should have been more. Cheating officials. Hate Jon Moss' face. Hated seeing Pep with his arm round his shoulder. Urgh. Spirited display by the lads. Vardy had a couple of poor moments. Chilly & Tielemans were a little sloppy. Kasper was world class today.

 surprised took praet off instead of youri. Chilly loves to run the ball out of play. Vardy doesn’t look right. Nacho was very good shake had to go off how we didn’t get at least 1 pen is shocking. Hopefully get a winning run going in the next few weeks

VAR is officially ruining the game. And fuelling, quite justifiably, talk of a stitch up against "smaller" clubs. 

 

Needs to be binned. 

Thing is, neither pen was given by the on field official, so VAR does at least increase the chance of those things being given, even if it didn’t on this occasion.

 

getting rid of VAR doesn’t solve anything 

[Blue Ed]

Poor result but a good performance. Another day and we'd have beaten them by a couple.

 

My shout out of the game goes to Maddison. I've been his critic at times non more than the semi against Villa but in this game a couple of passes in the second half were phenominal. I know he's needed up front as a number 10 but when he spreads the ball from deeper it's great to see. 

 

 

[Aus Fox]

We matched them throughout, decent performance and I never felt like they were the better team.

Kasper 10/10 3 world class saves.

The back 3 were great as were Riccardo and Chilwell.

Praet man of the match and the best player on the pitch for me.

The officials were embarrassing and with decisions like today it’s easy to see why so many people think the game is bent.

We lost a player and our attacking intensity due to a late reckless tackle and got nothing for it.

The handballs highlights everything that is wrong with the game, I’ve got zero idea how you can not give ours then give one to the team owned by billionaires?

 Disappointed not to get anything but pleased with the performance.

I'm gonna look at the positives, that was a far superior performance to our last one against these.
