Soon as the former players come on it all goes wrong

[woodland fox]

All going well then on come the old Southampton players, 2 goals get conceded and then comes the penalty miss from Bertrand

[eblair]

Call them by their name. The Southampton Two

[JonnyBoy]

Bertrand is actually to taking the P*ss now, worst ever Leicester signing the pair of them. 

[sylofox]

Grow up we bought/signed them. Ffs are you lot allowed out of school.

[Lambert09]

Vestergard actually did okay today. If it had been Nelson he’d probably be getting some praise.  They had a tough job tonight and in honesty, with all the hate thrown his way... fair play to Bertrand for even stepping forward for the pen because there was nobody else willing to take it. 
 

dont question Bertrand, look at soumare and ask why he didn’t step forward. 

[sylofox]

Jerry you really never have played the game.

[Vacamion]

 

If Bertrand took a panenka and shrugged, I could understand the reaction, but he put himself forward and their keeper, probably off his line, AGAIN, managed to saved it.

 

Vestergaard put himself about and made tackles.

 

They are both about 8th choice and we only put them on because we ran out of other defenders.

 

Because, you know, we have a bit of a defensive crisis.

 

I'm gutted we went out tonight, and I don't think they are anything near first choice just now, but I don't see the point in all the slagging off towards "The Southampton Two".

You're putting the Bertrand penalty miss in there when we have Vardy not wanting to take 1, other than that he didn't do much wrong today, out of position coming into a hostile game against an in-form Jota

 

Their 3rd came from an Ndidi missed header and the 2nd was down our right side too. Vestergaard did nothing wrong and made some decent blocks.

 

But keep the pitchforks out 

[blueharmie]

Vesty actaully did pretty well when he came on. 

[bovril]

Vestergaard was fine. Let's at least criticise players when they deserve it ffs

[Jaspa]

Yup Vestergaard did quite well, battled. Well need him now he's seemingly our entire defence so let's hope he keeps strong.

 

Sorry I know Bertrand stood up to take a pen but it was shight, neither tucked in a corner or hit with power, savable height. Useless. He's an accomplished pro but every performance he has a 'moment'. Really is making it difficult for himself.

[Blue-fox]

I thought Vestergaard probably had his best performance for us when he came on. Also allegedly has only had 1 days training too before the game so fair play to him tonight. 
 

I still would have neither of them near our team

[ian__marshall]

I thought tonight was one of Vestergaard's better performances. Think people are being harsh on him, really doesn't deserve the criticism he's receiving for that performance.

Vardy didn't take one due to injury, according to Brendan's post match interview. 

[Beliall]

i was rolling my eyes when i saw vestergaard getting ready but what choice did we have? besides, he did alright today ,got some tackles in and did his job. these 2 are not to blame for the defeat. negative tactics are

I think Liverpool made some subs too and their strength in depth became apparent.

Vardy had a groin injury   

[Deeg67]

I wouldn't have minded seeing Vesty take a pen, actually.  Pick a spot and rocket it - he can do that effectively.

[CH1_Fox]

Watch Vestergaard on that second Liverpool goal. Then look back at the goals we have conceded when he has played. Made some good blocks, yes, but his lack of mobility makes him easy pickings against any semi competent premier league side

[Vardinio'sCat]

Once a narrative gets bedded in it is very hard to shift, and this is very thin gruel.

 

I'm sure there will be more/other performances we can slag them off for, but trying to use that game to do it weakens any claim to objectivity.

[STEVIE B]

Surely, Kasper would have had input in the Vestergaard deal. 
Both play in the Danish set up. Totally bizarre. 

[Wolfox]

Couldn’t Vestegaard have done better for their second goal?  
 

Other than that, yeah he did ok
