Sometimes I watch us on Sky and think we’ve been mugged off with Bill Leslie and Andy Hinchcliffe, very much Sky’s B team.

 

I will never think that again. Tyler is just so painful to listen to. In the end I muted him for about 25 minutes either side of half time.

I just wish we had a real killer instinct. You could tell we were satisfied with a point on 90 mins. The opposition had 10 men and zero attacking intent left.

 

It's what will ultimately cost us i think. We're just a bit too nice. Like going to out of form teams throughout 2020 and getting their seasons back on track.

[TheUltimateWinner]

Bit disappointed we wasted the last 10 minutes. We couldn’t seem to string two passes together.

Personally, I'm happy with the point, given the first half. But we have to be more clinical and this draw is OK, provided we beat Bournemouth next up.

Yeah not so much that we didn't score, but we never even looked like scoring! That was a chance of a lifetime and would have been huge for the season.

 

I think that shows you though that Vardy apart we are a young team. That's where big players make names for themselves, turning those maybe moments into big ones.

 

Missing Maddison and Ricardo though is going to massively reduce the creativity in our team, as was shown during that last 10.

Agreed. I am convinced Ricky P would have scored a worldy if he'd been taking that shot rather than Praet at the end.

 

Nothing against Praet. It's just a Ricky P thing 😍

Sloppy plays after the equalizer by Justin and Barnes. Barnes never really got into the game.

[RoboFox]

Good result all things considered.

 

We were absolutely shat in that 8 minutes of added time though. So frustrating.

 

Feel for the broadcast team at Sky, not getting their big club win bonuses. They must be gutted.

[Foxin_Mad]

Sky are going to come up with a reason why Arsenals 2nd goal should have stood, the sending off was wrong and Vardy was offside.

I'll take the point. At least they showed grit to get that equalizer. A while ago heads would of dropped. Also not bad considering we were missing 3 first team players in Ricardo, Maddison and Chillwell and our squad depth is thin to say the least. Well done lads 👏 

 

Certain win at Bournemouth!

Play the good clubs even - beat the clubs you're supposed to and it will work out. Squad is improving but it would be nice to have a good wing - even someone you could bring on for 30 minutes and actually put a ball on net.

[DennisNedry]

Got to take a point at Arsenal.

 

First point there in 25 years; haven't won there since 1973!

 

Top 4 is looking very shakey it must be said, but the last 2 games are more encouraging. COYB.

[Larry_LCFC]

Unfortunately we have put ourselves in the position now where anything other than a win feels like a loss. In reality it is a decent result but far from what we needed.

Has anyone checked on Alan Smith?

He's still a c**t

[Lad1966]

Good point, bearing in mind our record away to Arsenal. Builds on the 3pts at the weekend

How can the top 4 be gone with that, when we’re still in the top 4.

I think United are going to beat us. Assuming we keep pace between now and then, we needed to maintain a 3 point gap with them, which will be gone if they win their game in hand.

The only interesting thing this season will be who makes cl, Leicester or Man Utd, and it’s all being set up by the league

To be fair we set it up ourselves by being bang average against Watford and shit against Brighton.

[Finnaldo]

Point is about right. Tradition says it’s all you can expect away at Arsenal but realistically you’d hope for a winning goal against 10 men. 
 

Obviously form and context we could have done with more but a point against Arsenal is a decent result and we’ve certainly picked up since our slow start. 
 

Biggest concern with Rodgers’ Leicester: we have a total lack of urgency when we need it most, you’d expect a Leicester side to be surfing those 8 minutes of stoppage time. ‘Foxes Never Quit’ isn’t ringing true at the moment. 

[Dandy king]

Happy to get an equaliser but that was agony to watch 

[Ted Maul]

How good a point that is really depends on our next 2 winnable games- 6 points from those and it's a great result, 5th in the bag and in the driving seat for 4th.

 

Infuriating watching us dick about with it around the half way line in stoppage time though. That was there to be won.

 

[Mythyaar]

Gray's simply not good enough is he?

[Ric Flair]

That atmosphere was very unrealistic tonight, more surprising than us getting a point away at Arsenal!

Reasonable point, need to put Bournemouth to the sword now. What’s Maddison‘s and chillwell’s status?

Both single..but would prefer to be a couple.

Yeah i'm thinking beat Bournemouth and Sheff utd, hopefully grab a draw at Spurs and it will be in our hands come the last day of the season.
