Worth saving the 10 quid by the sounds of it. Should’ve just spent the 10 quid and not put up with the horrendous TalkSport commentary. 

or watched a stream and saved the tenner

Positives:

Maddison got some needed minutes

Dewsbury-Hall and Thomas didn't look terrible, but definitely not ready for first XI either. 

... that's it really... 

 

This has to be Gray's last chance though. He was woeful. I desperately want him to succeed, but that had similar hallmarks to the unacceptable Schlupp performance against Porto. He has to go - that would be best for both parties...

If he had a good game he would have advertised his abilities and maybe would then go. I'm not sure he has helped his prospects tonight.

We were wrong - we weren't doomed: we were Fuched

Ward for that second goal was like watching a Fifa glitch.

Haha yeah.. Like he was frozen cause the other team put in a cheat code, I think it was "GRAYOUT"

Thomas looked good I thought, he continues developing you'll have a very good player on your hands. KDH at almost 23 ain't ever going to even be a bit part player in a successful Leicester side.

[Al-aLondon-Foxile]

Grey played like a man possessed.......of no idea and little skill! Hardly playing for a match day squad slot, not putting himself in the shop window on that display.

[Wolfox]

Let’s hope the first team remain fit…. Don’t want to be delving into that lot for support 

 

Amartey was the most woeful out of a number of woeful performances…

I hope they put your £10 towards a new CB and striker

Not sure Leicester see much of the £10 to be fair. Although I reckon we can get a better keeper for a tenner?

Well that was about as fun as paying £10 to watch Boris talk about the R value for 90 mins.... 

He might as well have done the team talk tonight 

[Grebfromgrebland]

Our squad is barely good enough to fight on one front yet alone four.

 

I thought we did ok in parts but Arsenal were comfortable as expected and we played like a bunch of players who don't play first team football or on some cases any football.

[Unabomber]

Thought KDH played well tbf

As expected. I thought Albrighton and Morgan had solid games. Dewsbury hall looked good too. 
 

Good for Maddison to get minutes he looks miles off the pace. 

Ha ha ha! He was utter garbage IMO. Only Gray  prevented Kevin from being the worst player on the pitch.

No one looked good. Anyone who gives any of our reserves more than 6 out of 10 needs to recalibrate.

Morgan was a 6, Perez & Thomas too. I could make a case for a couple of others but can’t be arsed.

Brendan chose his team based on the draw. We could, with luck, beat Arsenal. But Liverpool away? Not a chance.

Onwards, and hopefully not a thrashing on Sunday!

A CB & a wide forward like Buendia needed sharpish.

Amartey had the positional sense of a stolen vehicle being pursued by a fleet of police cars tonight.

[Guest Kopfkino]

Wouldn't be so downbeat about the squad players based on that. It's a completely different all of them having to play together when some clearly aren't fit compared to dropping in and out of the first team as and when required. 

[Guest Col city fan]

I knew we’d lose when the bookies had us at 3-1 to win just after half time

[HankMarvin]

I really don't understand that theory at all. Games like this where Iheanacho has an opportunity to start he should be busting a gut to show Rodgers he is worht giving more minutes.

I didn't say he shouldn't be busting a gut, the fact is he is always going to be second fiddle.

 

its only the Uefa cup games now till Jan and he will only start them ahead of Vardy if we have qualified of Vardy isn't 100 percent

[Angus Scott]

That just confirms how weak our back up is, as was proved during project restart. Odd players may be able to slot in whilst our strongest team is playing, but if we get a spate of injuries then God help us. 

 

 

[mozartfox]

The positives are, it identified the size of the dead-wood removal task, plus how important scouting and the academy are going to be in years to come.  Surely playing and losing with developing youngsters is better than watching older and slower players that in all honesty are not going to play regularly in the EPL?

 

New training center needs to be augmented with a re-think of the academy set up and more focus on scouting and recruitment.  Send someone to the Red Bull set up to see how they do things would be a good start!

 

As for the game, result better than I feared.

Same old thing with City

Lack of depth in the squad

Our first team is ok, but the fringe players will win us nothing

Don't know how people are so calm! Our best Chance of securing Europe again next season gone. Let's face it, winning the Europa league is a huge ask and we're not going to break the big spending 'top 6'. The FA cup is taken more serious by the bigger clubs so would be a big ask too. 

 

That was a disastrous performance and some of fringe players need a rocket up their arse! 

 

Poor all over the pitch, making 11 changes is always going to lead to a disjointed performance. I hope he takes the FA cup more seriously. 

 

 

Whilst technically true, I believe the winners of the league cup this year don’t qualify for the Europa League, they qualify for the new third tier European competition which starts from next season, so in reality it’s not as bad as it seems Europe wise.

Stringer lambasting Maddison for his synchronized handshake with an Arsenal Instagram buddy. 

 

It's a new Insta/Twitter era. Modern footballers are rubbish.

Just sell some ****ing players so we can buy better ones. Why are some of these people still here?

Because simply put, no one wants to buy them or they'd be gone. You can't sell what nobody wants to buy!

[StanSP]

Don't get why Iheanacho gets so much stick. He wasn't great but he wasn't the worst performer. Gray can take that award.

 

As a lone striker he wasn't able to do much at all. Barely had any support. 

 

Expected more from senior players. 

Not too bothered about the loss. More important competitions to get involved in and take seriously.

[Grebfromgrebland]

Sounds like the highlight of the game was Madisons handshake. 

[Fightforever]

.I would have just played the U23s. They at least have a higher ceiling than most of those has beens
