I know everyone's glad to see him back, but Justin really getting away with it being one of the highest rated in the ratings because of sympathy for the injury.

 

He was most at fault for the goal, Wellbeck was his man and he completely lost him and then refused to jump for the header.

The player to blame was Soyunchu he gave the bloody ball away again if he clears it up pitch we win game

There's like 7 different things which happen after Soyuncu gives the ball away where we can defend it. If Justin marks Wellbeck properly then it's a simple headed clearance, it's not like Wellbeck is 6ft7. It's 100% injury sympathy to try and claim Soyuncu is more at blame than Justin for that goal (same with Spurs 2nd on Wednesday too).

I'm surprised with Lookmans rating. He was put into great positions on several occasions and gave the ball away constantly. 

[Hammo]

The voting shows that no player had a particularly bad game.

 

Unlike the manager.

I know what you are saying but my opinion is Soyunchu should clear up pitch. 
my thoughts have nothing to do with injury sympathy

Quite a few had bad games. Anything below a 6 on here is usually a indication that a player has had a poor game. IMO Tielemans, Thomas, Soyuncu, JJ, KDH, Barnes and Daka (despite his goal) were poor. Lookman and Maddison were average at best. The only two that stood out were Schmeichel and Amartey. The manager’s substitutions and tactical changes were also poor in the second half. 

[Blueman1967]

 Maddison played well again, Lookman made some good runs, Schmeichel mad sure we got a point.

[Halifax Fox]

Lookman lost possession repeatedly and selected wrong pass several times. Similar on Wednesday, although I thought he was hard done by with refereeing decisions in the Spurs game.

[Foxes96]

All pretty average to be honest, gone 6’s all around and 7’s for Madders, Amartey & Schmeichel. Some really top saves by Schmeichel and Amartey looked our best defender. Thought other than losing Welbeck for the goal Justin played pretty well again, still getting back up to speed, and Maddison looked our most threatening player again. 
 

No clue why Brendan went to a back 5, only invited pressure onto ourselves when we had dominated most of the opening 50mins. So would only get a 3 for me today. Change of shape, and consequently sitting too deep prevented us winning that one. We also seemed to go to a diamond before we went to 5 at the back which didn’t work either seemed to get easily overrun. 
 

 

[Scotch]

Think that's a rather harsh score for Thomas. He was having a good game until the system change and he was hung out to dry against Lamptey and on occasions two on one with neither Soyuncu or KDH coning over to help. 

 

Rodgers exposed him for the last 20 minutes and he done as much as he could to handle it. 

[Blue ROI]

Except for Amartey who was worthy of a 7 the most '6 out of 10' display all season from everyone else.

Why does kasper get such a rating... higher than kdh?

[Lambert09]

Blimey what more could kasper do to please people? Less than a 7 after those saves, with no chance of stoping the goal .. give yourselves a wobble

2 sensational saves, would have lost without him.

[Finnegan]

Justin at fault for the goal. 

Patson Daka scored ours. 

 

Guess who FT gave the higher rating to.

2 or 3 top class saves that kept us in the game.

Kasper Schmeichel: 6/10
Schmeichel was barely called into action until the final 20 minutes when he made a superb stop to tip Trossard’s goal-bound attempt around the post while also denying Welbeck as Brighton pressed for a winner. His distribution was also a touch shaky at the start of the second half. He could not have done much for the Welbeck goal.

 

James Justin: 7/10 
Justin seemed to be in good shape and was defensively very solid and front-footed from the outset. His presence gave confidence to Leicester’s backline while he also got forward well enough in the second half. He was mostly terrific when shifted to a back three, but he lost Welbeck for his headed goal. He completed a joint match-high 7 clearances.

 

Caglar Soyuncu: 7/10
A much-improved display from Soyuncu than in recent weeks. He looked very composed in the opening period, passed well, dictated the tempo from the centre brilliantly and was shutting down the Seagulls passing lanes expertly, showing good positioning. He was much clumsier in the second period and made wild clearances, while he was always a suspect with balls in behind.

 

Daniel Amartey: 6/10
Amartey had a very decent afternoon on his return to the starting XI. He made some vital interventions, tackles and blocks. He was surprisingly good on the ball and sought to pass through the lines whenever possible. He dealt with the threats in Neal Maupay and Trossard quite well up until the final 10 minutes when the whole structure collapsed.

 

Luke Thomas: 5/10
Thomas was sloppy on the ball early on, but he defended tenaciously, winning most of his back-post headers and clearing his lines under Brighton’s press. He combined well with Barnes and Dewsbury-Hall in closed spaces. Having said that, he struggled to deal with the threat of Tariq Lamptey and was run ragged by the youngster.

 

Youri Tielemans: 8/10
It was an all-action midfield performance by Tielemans, who looked the best player on the pitch for the Foxes by some distance. His quick and precise passes helped the team retain possession and kept things ticking in the centre of the pitch. He also made some valuable defensive contributions and completed 4 tackles, 2 interceptions and 2 blocks. Though, he was one of the main culprits in throwing away possession cheaply in the second half to keep his side under sustained pressure.

 

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall: 5/10
Dewsbury-Hall had a pretty ordinary game with one decent chance in between, which he wasted. It was a rough day for him in the engine room when not much ticked for him, but he kept plugging away and crucially supported the attack and defence diligently.

 

James Maddison: 6/10
Maddison was bright in the No. 10 role and had his moments in the first half. Perhaps, he should have scored inside the opening five minutes when he made a sneaky run into the box. There were some nice flicks and interplays in and around the Brighton box, while he also contributed to the goal. Clearly, his performance levels dipped in the second half with losing possession and making reckless passes as he completely faded out by the end of the game.

 

Ademola Lookman: 6.5/10
Lookman, combined with Patson Daka very well, was a constant menace for Brighton’s defence. His close control and dribbling were astonishing at times as he added thrust to several of Foxes’ attacks. His shots looked lethal but lacked precision and were not clinical at all. He missed a great chance in the first half, while he lacked that bit of quality in his final pass.

 

Patson Daka: 7/10

It was a Jamie Vardy-Esque display from Patson Daka, who had very little involvement in general play but still had his name registered on the scoresheet. He simply understands what positions to take up in the box to capitalise on loose balls, and it is a knack only good strikers possess.

His attacking prowess was there to see, while his deft runs created space for his teammates. He scored the goal with a precise finish and caused havoc with his runs in behind. The goal was the Zambian’s eight-goal involvement in his last eight Premier League outings.

 

Harvey Barnes: 6/10
Barnes pressed hard but was very ineffective on the day. He lost the ball cheaply a fair few times, and his dribbles at the Brighton defenders lacked menace. Even though he was involved in some of the Foxes’ best-attacking plays, notably setting up for Lookman’s goalscoring opportunity in the first half, he also forced Sanchez into the save that led to Daka’s score.

Substitutes

 

Marc Albrighton: 5/10
He made some great interventions and showed some quick feet in the attack shortly after coming in, but he battled after a heavy blow to his back. He was switched off at the back post and was partly to blame for Welbeck’s goal.

 

Boubakary Soumare: 5/10
Soumare made good use of his strength at times but otherwise had little influence on the game’s flow.

[ParkerPen]

some bizarre ratings there. certainly no-one remotely close to an 8, maybe a 7 for big Dan alone, but probably not.
