It must be gutting being an attacking player in this Leicester team.

There is an argument for playing ten attackers at the moment.

Jog on seriously you're boring 

Someone is telling the players to watch the man and not the ball. It's inept at defending corners.  Supposed to do both but Leicester players do everything to stop the man and never watch or attacking the defending set piece

Fernandinho got his customary dirty kick out in then

Nothing dodgy about the pens. We're lucky this didn't finish 10-3 at this rate. Our defensive issues will stop us from achieving anything this season. 

The first penalty was never one and that goal was handball 

[Corky]

Change the goalkeeping coach.

[Arkie Bennett]

Fernandinho is as dislikeable as Richarlison.

So you think conceding x amount of goals from corners every single game is acceptable? Whoever sorts the corner and set piece routine in training needs to go surely 

[Jaspa]

So Sterling poked the ball out for a corner and scores off it after a handball?

 

Man City are such a soulless husk. Like if Jupiter turned into a black hole overnight, billions of pounds spend, UEFA apparently have a conspiracy against them but can buy better lawyers than them so it doesn't matter. 4-0 up at home, gaps in their stands first half, dead quiet. Just a meaningless entity.

[CosbehFox]

These pair again officiating; absolute joke 

[Dahnsouff]

Actually pleasantly surprised by today.

Proper attacking performance second half, great to see.

 

Only signing we need in January is a set pieces coach. 

And several physios!

[coolhandfox]

BR need to bite the bullet and get a defensive coach in.

 

We must be one of the highest scorers in the league other then the top 3

 

[Jon the Hat]

We’ll if you’d said 9 goals at 3 minutes I would’ve feared a worse score line than this tbh.

two corners...two goals. Beyond criminal.

I agree it’s poor, but they had 14 corners no?

[Shamomoa]

Meh..  at least they tried!! Second half! If only we had a defense!!!

[Fox85]

In order to save our season we need either 2 things.

 

GET Rid of BR and get a manager who is hungry and has passion in. Someone who is tacticly aware as well.

 

Keep BR and give him 200 million in January. If this doesn't happen we will finish 15th

You're a seasoned international, PL winning keeper. And you need a coach. 🤔 I sense irony, mind.

The standard of our defending is so bad. Can't be many worst in the football league. We can't do the basics. 

The only reason our current defending would even get results in league 1 is because the strikers are nowhere near as good, and we'd score at least 4-5 most matches, we'd be giving at least 6 good chances away each match at that standard. 

[Corky]

Fernandinho, like Kompany, getting his free shot at booting/ scything whoever he likes.

[lcfcdamo]

Ive never in my life saw a pro football be has bad at set pieces but how can var let that goal stand it such a clear handball its actually laughable 

[filbertway]

Fair to Rodgers for the line up and performance. Much ballsier than I expected.

 

Hes undone a lot of that by waiting for us to get some momentum and then totally kill it by bringing Hamza on for Youri though

 

The man absolutely loves shooting himself in the foot.

[Guest Lcfc82]

I didn’t expect anything to be honest. Get the next game out of the way and try and beat Norwich 

[trabuch]

We won the 2nd half
