Yes I did. 

How long have you been watching the club?

what are you going on about? 

[crisp packet]

Subs questionable. We didn’t deserve 3. Not happy but I’ll take a point . Awful performance from far too many to mention. Players taken off where the better ones.. 

[Buggsteam]

Thrown away a good lead. 
Palace was the better side but our defence is that crap we’re lucky to get the draw. 
Bertrand and Vestaagard are both useless and just shows what trying to get players in on the cheap. There’s a reason Southampton let them both go. 
 

What does Daka have to do to get in the side?? 
 

Rodgers has lost the plot and can’t see us making the top six or even the top 10 unless something changes.

Castagne, Nacho, Vardy and Hamza emerge with some credit from that, but we look like a bottom 8 side. 

Hamza? Really???

[Sol thewall Bamba]

25 points from the last 20 games.

[StanSP]

We're in a terrible patch of form but getting rid of Rodgers right now would be quite an overreaction from our owners and not the right move. 

[TrentFox]

Anyone that watched that knows we were awful and very lucky to get anything. Individually poor, collectively dreadful. We looked like we’d been introduced to each other on the coach. There was nothing cohesive about the performance. But what concerns me is that every team we play seems faster, sharper, stronger and more committed. It’s that lack of application that concerns me more than the lack of anything else. Grim.

Don't know about Graham Potter not even sure Harry Potter with all his magic could get a tune out of this lot.

What do you mean? We have talent but it’s not being utilized properly or there are issues in the training room. Maybe both. There is no cohesion, no urgency, no sense of what anyone is supposed to be doing.

Lucky to get a point in the end. 2 strikers doesn't work usually in modern football and it didn't today, that's not to say we'd have won with a different formation. 

 

I'd have brought Maddison on at the same time as Soumare, we were being over run in midfield. 

You mean the two strikers who scored? What the f.ck is Choudhary still doing in a lcfc shirt and how the f.ck did Vestergard and Bertrand ever get to wear a lcfc shirt more to the point

Didn’t even get a yellow for it. 
 

Yet that tackle from Youri that won the ball at the start of the half did

He eventually did. Another case where the ref awaits the severity of the injury before deciding the punishment. I thought it was a very poor challenge which is that mythical ‘orange card’ area. 

[Pliskin]

Benkovic has got to have shagged Brendan’s wife or something, either that or he can’t actually play football, because I’m better than ****ing Vestergaard.

Replying to this. Is that ok?

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

 

[daddylonglegs]

We are ****ing pony. At least a few individuals performing well now though.

 

as a team we’re an absolute mess 

[Mickyblueeyes]

Really disappointed today. I can’t take any positives from the performance with exception to how the goals were taken. From the first minute we looked off it again.

[winteriscoming]

We are dreadful at the back. 
Barnes should of made it 3 nil. He seems to be brain dead at times. 

 

[foxfan92]

We saw how losing key players in a defence affected Liverpool last season.

 

Both our first choice centre backs and first choice left back injured, and we look very vulnerable at the back. 

 

We may need to re-evaluate our expectations this season. We've punched very high the last two and ran out of steam. Last season we had injury problems but managed to still get results in games.

 

Yes we look poor, confidence is clearly low, but that seems to be where we are right now, and its not going to miraculously change over night.

 

With the tight margins in the Premier league football is as much about momentum and playing with confidence and getting that bit of luck as it is about talent on the pitch.

 

We need to dig deep and grind out a result or two and we will begin to notice a difference on the pitch. But it is important results go our way soon, because we want to maintain our top six finishing if we can. 

 

The season is far from over. Difference this time is we've started badly rather than finishing that way.

 

Getting Evans back fit (lets hope thats soon) will make a big difference, and hopefully Ndidi recovers quickly too. Those are the two outfield defensive minded players you dont want to be without, and both of them in the team makes us look much stronger at the back.

 

So yes, fans will moan, I know I was screaming throughout the whole game. 

 

We've every right to be angry and disappointed, but I honestly believe things are going to get much better very soon. We just need a result or two to go our way, and a few of our key players back from injury. Our forwards are showing they can still score, so we just need to shore up the defence ...

 

Fortunately we've a nice easy fixture in the league next  ... although having said that we always seem to up our game against United (even if the result doesn't always reflect that).

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

Disagree. That was exactly the right tactic. It was only a matter of time before we conceded another goal.

are you high?

[Webbo]

If we hadn't signed Bertrand and Vestagaard we'd be playing Thomas and Amartey instead. I'm not sure that's an improvement. What if one of those players got injured? We needed bodies, Fofana got injured and we'd spent our budget.

 

Hopefully JJ will be back soon.

Hamza? Really???

Thought he was our best player in the first half aside from Nacho/Timmy. Some passes didn’t come off but he broke up play well. Stats seem to agree.

This is the real picture not the poor start to this season on its own.

We got rid of Claudio when we were well placed to progress in the Champions League

I’m beginning to be not so sure. 
 

There’s the magic three year management cycle. A lot of managers believe you have three years with a squad. By the end of it, the players no longer believe the message or the manager’s decisions. In the case of dynasty managers, they had enough power to reform their squads. Elsewhere it’s time for a change.
 

I’m not advocating for him to be sacked but it’s a pitiful win/points record stemming from the end of last season and it very much feels like the squad isn’t united and/or not tuned into the same ‘message’.
