Defence, I'd actually give Benkovic a go over Vestergard atm

Would give Amartey a runout tbf.

Hanging on so badly 2nd half that we wasted more time than Burnley did last week!

Prior to our first goal we were abysmal, and apart from two quality goals really poor.

Really hope it is just underperforming  and we turn the corner soon because we are currently looking all over the place.

It comes from the defence, and unless fofana and evans magically come back then we aren’t improving… the rest of just crap

Let's be honest- it was a point gained. Defence is horrendous, midfield very average, attack excellent.

 

I still think we've got enough quality to turn this around but we are playing like a team that just expects to concede and find it tough.

Yeah that's the team/Brendan mentality, 2-0 up at half time. Finish 2 -2. Point gained. Bollocks it's a point gained

[steveb]

unbelievably poor, we hardly won a tackle, passed to them more than our pwn team and what appaling management to take off  Iheanacho in a tough phtsical game and replace with players so lightweight the light breeze blew them away, Barnes worst performance ever, midfield virtually non existent , defence third rate, and management pathetic beyond words

A point gained in hindsight. Our defending is comical. We may have issues at CB but how is Bertrand getting in over Ricardo or Thomas? 

 

Rodgers loves predictable players who are always where he (and the opposition) expect them to be at any given moment,  That’s why he keeps going back to Perez and Albrighton.

[Onions]

Never been so excited for an international break 

[Matt]

Missed the first 25/30 minutes, heard we were terrible but I can speak for it personally.

 

The last 15 of the 1st half, we looked good, forward passes, forward runs, movement up top, attacking and positive, any shock we went 2-0 up?

 

Half time comes, Brendan has a right face on him, proper mardy, almost deja vu of West Brom.

 

They must have had a proper bollocking at half time for not 'controlling' the game, by controlling he means not passing sideways and having atleast 60% possession without actually going anywhere.

 

Came out 2nd half with the ringing in their ears, passed round the back, invited pressure and bang 2-2.

 

Rodgers looked far happier come full time.

 

OOH - All those moaning about Burnleys time wasting last week - Hope you're being critical of us today for it. Add to that we can't even take throw ins from a positive area in the pitch without giving it back to opposition and back in our own half now.

Another horror showing, indefensible.

[hejammy]

OK so firstly. I'm sure everyone agrees with:

- didn't deserve to be 2-0 up

- would have taken a draw at the start of the game 

- shambolic defending yet again (but with Evans and Wes out it's going to be like this) 

 

Barnes was by far the worst player. Yes Vestergaard was awful 1vs1 but he did make some decent challenges. Barnes has completely lost the plot. Not sure what is going on but 3 of our best performing players from last season... Barnes, Madders and Youri have become awful. Not sure if it's confidence or what it is but something needs to happen. 

 

BR - I've stuck by him but he's now starting to frustrate me. Taking off Nacho was just ridiculous. He's the one who was a threat and was holding the ball up well. Then taking off Lookman really annoyed me. 

 

Overall would have taken a point but can't help but feel frustrated with the result and most certainly the performance. 

[danny2997]

Something needs to change. Too much of the same stuff every week, I can't understand how we're making the same mistakes every week. Vestergaard and Bertrand have to be 2 of the worst defenders we've had in a long time, the quicker Evans or Fofana come back the better and I don't care how he played against Warsaw, Thomas must play. 

[lazlofox]

All teams scout players from the opposing side during matches.

 

.........only Leicester would scout defenders like Bertrand and Vestergaard after a 9-0 Demolition and think they were worth signing.

[lcfcell]

Forgetting how garbage the defence is wtf has happened to our build up play? Absolutely shocking. Can’t keep the ball, can’t find another player, can’t create anything. We look so poorly coached

Couldn’t win at a funfair stall.

That's absolute bollocks. That's how we got Vestergaard. 

[Harry96]

Thank god for the international break 

[Pliskin]

Where to start really.

 

Another horror show. 
 

I thought it was clear that he tweaked the tactics, got us to sit in a bit more and look to counter, but there were still issues in the way we played in the second half. 
 

First half started pretty badly, but we settled and then got into the game plan, we were pressing their deep midfield and defence, and from two mistakes were able to pounce and score.

 

However.

 

Second half we completely fell apart, we stopped pressing the deep midfield, and we seemed to sit in and not press the defenders as much either. Palace were getting plenty of the ball, and once Edouard fairly easily walked past Cags and Vesty, I think we all knew what was coming. 
 

We were nowhere in that second half, it was an utter disaster, a complete lack of tenacity, absolutely no outlets, and could keep the ball to save our lives. 
 

We still can’t figure out how to get out of this slump, there were minor flashes in the first half and we managed to get the goals, but second half we just fell off a cliff.

 

I thought Lookman, Vardy, and Kelch had reasonable games, Timmy satisfactory and everyone else was yet again, sub standard.

 

Where we go from here I really don’t know, but binning a 2-0 lead against Palace who aren’t exactly tearing up trees, and looking woeful whilst doing it doesn’t fill me with confidence. 
 

Im not going to lie I’m worried, not stupid worried by mentioning relegation, but I don’t even think we’re capable of a top half finish at the moment, and for every poor result the pressure will ramp up. 

[dannythefox]

Need a goal he takes nacho off and Hamza was actually doing ok too ffs identical to the Napoli game that. Shite subs once again. 

[Yes]

Glad for the international break for once, we might as well not bother until Evans is back. 

[Phenom]

Why does Bertrand play over Thomas?

 

Pathetic performance. We were played off the pitch by (mostly) by Patrick Viera’s Crystal Palace.

[StriderHiryu]

Lucky to draw that game, our 2 goals totally glossed over an insipid performance.

You're having a laugh surely. Benkovic must be a f..cking shite cb if you think amartey should get a run out

[Torten]

Our time wasting at the end at 2-2 made me cringe a little.

[steveb]

Palace were robbed and a point is several points more than we deserved, second half especially after the ludicrous substitutions was the worst i`ve ever seen, rodgers 100% to blame

Harvey Barnes had the worst performance I’ve ever seen from anyone in a Leicester shirt 

And it starts again.

 

You haven't been following this club very long have you?

[lozzyblue fox]

I can not see where we will get another win on our recent displays.

Not once have we deserved to win a match.

The football is awful, no confidence to finish off games.

Is rogers really a top class manager as something is not right, the players

really don't look like they want to play for him any more.
